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

[Charle is out with an umbrella... jumping in puddles. As it rains. This is fun, right? She's enjoying it, to be sure. She jumps in a puddle just a few yards from Emil and... splash!]

[ratatosk_knight]

[A sudden deluge of water is kind of hard for Emil to ignore, so he's going to let out a startled yelp and almost topple off the rock in the process.]

Whoa!

[hazelrink]

[And then... peering over and then leaning over him with a big smile!] Hello, Emil!

[ratatosk_knight]

Hi Charlotte... um, did you do that on purpose or did you trip?

[Since he knows Colette...]

[hazelrink]

On purpose, of course. It's really fun!

[ratatosk_knight]

Right now?

[He looks a little startled by the offer.]

[hazelrink]

Why not? [Hand still out but blink...]

[ratatosk_knight]

[ratatosk_knight]

I don't-- whoa, okay, okay!

[As he gets tugged up to a standing position.]

[hazelrink]

[And now she releases him before skipping back two steps and-] So let's go jump in some more puddles.

[ratatosk_knight]

What about that one you jumped in just a minute ago? Will that one work?

[hazelrink]

But I already jumped in that one, so we should find a new one. It'll be a girls day out!

[ratatosk_knight]

But I'm not a girl...
