[It may be a rainy day today, but the rain hasn't stopped Emil from going outside anyway. In fact, he doesn't seem like he even notices it as he sits on a large rock near the bridge by the clinic, knees drawn up to his chest, just sort of staring at the water. He's motionless except for when he occasionally reaches down to pick up a stone from

[Here Emil, have a 12-year-old running around in the rain because he wanted to go for a jog. Except this is unusual so he's just going to watch Emil for a minute.]

...dude, you're getting all wet. [Thanks for that announcement, Tai.]

[ratatosk_knight]

[Oh hey, kid that he doesn't really know that well. He'd greet you but he... doesn't remember your name.]

I don't mind...

[goggle_syndrome]

You'll mind later when it gets cold. I don't mind it either, but my sister and Raine both get mad if I stay out too long, so there's probably somebody who'll get upset if you're out in the rain.

[ratatosk_knight]

[He considers this for a moment. Okay, so Doctor McCoy or Raine or Asch would probably get annoyed if they found him out here in the rain.]

I'm eighteen... I'm not a kid anymore.

[goggle_syndrome]

So...being eighteen means you can make dumb decisions? [Taichi the wonder-brat, at your service.]

[ratatosk_knight]

I'm not making a dumb decision, I'm just sitting outside.

[goggle_syndrome]

In the rain though.

[ratatosk_knight]

I'll go inside if I start to feel cold.

[goggle_syndrome]

That doesn't really make sense though. But okay.

[ratatosk_knight]

Why doesn't that make sense?

[goggle_syndrome]

Because you're not going to get cold unless you go inside where it's warmer and you can tell the difference, so you'll just keep sitting out here.

[ratatosk_knight]

... I dunno, I'm pretty sure you can get cold even if you can't tell the difference.

[goggle_syndrome]

Then wouldn't it make sense to go in anyway?

[ratatosk_knight]

Uh...

[goggle_syndrome]

[Just this look. Stubborn child is stubborn]

[ratatosk_knight]

Wouldn't it make just as much sense to stay outside?
