[Action/Video] ~Rain~

[fleurdeamour]

[It began raining today. Francis had been in the mood to paint, but it wasn't likely he'd get any more done today, so he packed up and headed away from Theta's shop. But...well. He was already wet. And he wasn't going to let a perfectly good day go to waste. Without further ado, he stepped outside and set his watch down nearby. It opened

[Cross Marian is a man who hates the rain... Or rather, he hates being outside in the rain. It makes his clothes hang poorly. It makes mud--which is certainly not his friend. It does his glorious hair no favors whatsoever.

And yet, striding hurriedly through it on his way home from--Where else?--The pub, he's suddenly struck by a sight that makes him not mind the miserable downpour quite so much. It actually... Gives him pause, right there on the wet sidewalk. Heedless of the potential sullying of his fine coat, the General leans one shoulder against the wall of the storefront he'd stopped in front of, and watches Francis dance.

It's a long while of just enjoying the sight before he finally opts in favor of decorum, and gives his throat a tasteful clearing. There'll be no disguising the fact that he's been there a long while, of course, not with how he's soaked through, but no matter. The show was worth the shower.]

[fleurdeamour]

[He spins and hears a noise, just a little about the thunder that continues to rumble as he stops, breath a bit heavy, and looks at his one-man audience. The wispy fog puffs out as he breathes, and a bright smile crosses his face, still excited from the simple pleasure he'd been partaking in.]

Bonjour, mon ami. To what do I owe ze pleasure?

[iplayyoupay]

[Not moving from his leaning spot against the wall, Cross actually opts instead to casually cross one ankle over the other. Dipping his head in a nod of greeting, he smiles bemusedly up at Francis from under the wide brim of his hat as a sheet of rainwater falls away from it.]

I was going to ask you the same thing, monsieur. That was quite a show you were putting on.

[fleurdeamour]

[The nod leading to the miniature cascade makes him chuckle.]

Just enjoying ze lovely weazzer~ Eet's...

[He looks up at the sky, his eyes shut, letting the water caress his smile.]

Eet's a day to love life.

[He lets out a small puff of air, a brief chuckle. He looks back at Cross.]

'ave you ever 'ad zose days? Where just ze sensation of living eez enough to lift your spirit?

[Kou is a bad dog. He loves being a bad dog, with his smoking, his perversion, and his dirty jobs, he wouldn't have it any other way. One of his favorite ways to be bad is to run though the rain, and soak his hair or fur, all depending on what form he holds

[fleurdeamour]

[Francis grins and continues his dance, now with the canine.]

My, my, what a curious sight~

[baddogkounii]

[Kou bounces around him, tongue lolling out in a happy way. He now wears a collar when he is a dog, with his name and address written on it to avoid confusion in this form]

[fleurdeamour]

[He chuckles and stops his dancing after a few moments. He crouches in front of Kou and scratches behind his ears, looks at his tag.]

Kou...what a cute name~

[strayintoshadow]

[Some one else is out enjoying the rain too. She's not dancing, not yet, but her movements are certainly graceful enough. When she spots Francis she pauses to watch him, eye sparkling. He is... well, it may be wrong to call a man pretty, but the sight of him dancing is one of the most beautiful things she's seen. Such simple happiness...]

[fleurdeamour]

[And he continues to dance, ignorant of the other being's presence. Gracefully, he swings a long leg low to the ground, foot skimming through a puddle and kicking up a wave of water, splashing up against the falling rain.]

[strayintoshadow]

[The water catches Stray along the leg; she hops back, laughing softly. After watching Francis, she begins to dance alongside him, imitating his moves and expounding upon them, twisting with a decidedly feline grace as she does so.]

[fleurdeamour]

[He grins when he realizes he's been joined, spinning and dancing around her. How interesting~]

[talkstomuch]

[Someone is more than content to stay underneath her umbrella, keeping her groceries dry, and watch with a smile on her face.]

[fleurdeamour]

[And he'll be happy to continue dancing, smiling wider when he notices he has an audience.]
