[Just stepping back inside, Abel is busily wringing the rainwater out of his hair. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference, though. His coat is utterly soaked as well, but he simply drapes it over the back of the nearest chair.]Was that in the forecast, this morning? I can't seem to remember, and I was caught out in the rain for hours! I had

You need a towel, Abel. You're going to get sick.

[awful_awkward]

Nonsense! I never get sick! ...Although, uh, yes I do need to get dry.

[coexists]

Really? That's good. If you got sick, then you'd be stuck inside all day.

[awful_awkward]

Yes, of course! I'm in perfect health. Oh dear, I wouldn't want to be stuck indoors, either. I had enough of that back when we were all under house arrest!

How about you? Are you doing all right?

[coexists]

Shiki told me about that. It sounded really boring.

Yes! I'm waiting for the rain to slow down some so I can go out in it. This is the first time I've really seen it like this.

[awful_awkward]

It was, terribly! I did have a few books to read, but I'm afraid my attention can never outlast the pages.

Ah, really? Is it very dry where you lived, before?

[coexists]

I hope that person in charge doesn't do it again.

It wasn't too dry.. It just never rained. It did on Earth, though.

[awful_awkward]

I'll hope so, as well. It was just too much.

Uh, but where did you live, if not on Earth?

[coexists]

Ashura lived in the Heavenly Kingdom, with Yasha! We moved around a lot.

[awful_awkward]

I think I understand. Uh, what was it like, there?

[coexists]

Most of it was really pretty. A bit like Earth.
