Characters/ Pairing: Cazaril
Prompt: #28, rain
Format & Word Count: drabble, 100 words
Summary: Cazaril's first rainfall in nineteen months.



At first Cazaril enjoys the rain when it begins to gently fall, languid drips sliding down his face as if the clouds have simply melted in the sky. It's been so long since he felt the rain upon him; confined to the galley, he'd experienced storms only as the terrifying swells that tossed the hulk about like a toy boat against their futile rowing.

But soon the novelty wears off, as it soaks his clothes through and weights them down, sucking his weary feet down into the mire that was the road, lashing at his cheeks like the oarmaster's whip.
