[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

[At first it seems like he hasn't heard Minato at all, but after a long moment, he looks up.]

... Minato.

[ratatosk_knight]

Yeah, it has. It's time for New Feathers again.

[He picks up another stone and absentmindedly tosses it into the water.]

[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.

[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...]

[That unmoving kid may be easy to miss for normal people, perhaps, but Yuan can see him sitting there anyway. Keen Seraph sight and all that, you know the drill. Emil's been awfully quiet for quite a while now, which can't bode too well for Ratatosk. Time to investigate, just in case.]

... Emil.

[ratatosk_knight]

[Emil looks up at the speaker, but he's not going to greet him just yet, instead hesitating and trying to gauge what he's up to. He knows very well that Yuan doesn't like him, so why is the guy trying to make conversation?]

[Now now, "doesn't like" is an awfully big statement. He doesn't like Ratatosk, but that the moment he's neutral on Emil himself. Let's try this again.] Shouldn't you go find shelter?

[ratatosk_knight]

[Emil shakes his head.]

N-no, I'm fine-- it's really not that cold out here.

[stilldontgotit]

[Riku here's got a jacket on, since it's rainy. The fact that Emil looks so bummed and isn't even bothering to carry an umbrella does seem strikingly odd, though, so he'll wander up to him.]

Hey, Emil.

[ratatosk_knight]

Hi Riku... what are you doing out here?

[No mention at all of the fact that it's raining. He just... doesn't really care.]

[stilldontgotit]

Just felt like getting out for a bit. Rain or not, I'd rather not be cooped up all day.

[A pause.]

But what about you?

[ratatosk_knight]

Oh, I just... um, I guess I just wanted to get out too. I've been staying inside a lot lately because of the rain, but it gets kind of boring after a while.
