[peeking out!]

Oh, no--please, are you all right? You're going to get sick . . . won't you come in?

[leaveittolloyd]

I will not be getting sick. The rain is merely inconvenient.

[moerines]

You can't be very comfortable out here. Please, it's no trouble at all.

[leaveittolloyd]

Comfort is not an issue.

[moerines]

Well . . . what about the inconvenience?

[leaveittolloyd]

Negligible. It's water, nothing more.

[moerines]

It's very cold water . . .

[leaveittolloyd]

I've noticed.

[moerines]

[ducks back inside for a minute; when she comes back, she's wearing a warm coat and carrying a blanket]

Why are you outside in this weather? I'd like it if you would come in, but if you can't, please, at least take this.

[leaveittolloyd]

[considers; takes the blanket]

... It is appreciated.

[moerines]

[coming outside, closing the door behind her]

I don't have an umbrella, sorry. Um . . . are you waiting for someone?

[leaveittolloyd]

No.

You should go back inside. As you pointed out, it's very cold.

[moerines]

I thought I might keep you company, unless you wanted to be alone.

[leaveittolloyd]

... I have no preference either way.

[moerines]

I'll stay for a little while, then. Um . . . what are you doing?

[leaveittolloyd]

I'm not doing anything. I have to stand somewhere, it just so happens that I'm standing here.
