Today, the rain is only semi-heavy against his skin - wet enough that any sensible person would have pulled up their hood, but 'dry' enough that Lethe has let down his hood. It's a sharp contrast to the weather of a few nights ago when it had been pouring so hard Lethe had found refuge within a cave, but still, the rain hits the ground hard enough for there to be an audible pitter-patter. So, that's his sign to find shelter.
The time is early night, and although it's relatively early, Lethe would like to make haste for finding a place for the night. After learning that this sever seems to be populated by a handful of people, he does feel a little bit awkward by just sort of wandering door to door, but he'll take what he can get (a semi-consistent roof over his head). And, despite that he was looking for a singular roof over his head, he's found himself stumbling upon many.
A village is always good - it's a guaranteed place to stay the night, or maybe even two or three, if Lethe feels like pushing it. It's not like he's intruding on any other player's space, so he feels significantly less guilty about staying for a period of time rather than a singular night - but, unfortunately, there seems to be a handful of torches left behind. Someone might be staying here, too, and on that account, Lethe should probably ask before staying the night.
It takes a few houses of knocking, asking, and receiving nothing in response before he finds the village house being occupied. Three sharp knocks are accompanied by Lethe's polite call into the house. "I apologize if I'm intruding, but is anybody home right now?"
[ Pearl appreciates a good rain. Really, she does! Plants wouldn't grow, the land wouldn't be nourished, without rain. ]
[ All the same, it can't exactly work in such conditions. Even its raincoat doesn't perfectly cover its wings, so it always has to spend time drying them off afterwards, and it's just such a pain... ]
[ Thus, Pearl has been quietly drawing build plans, using her crafting table as a desk. Hearing the knock on the door, she jumps to her feet, surprised. The scent of the rain must have drowned out the scent of anyone approaching. ]
Yeah, I'm here– [ it gets a look through the door– ] who are you?
[ His hair's too pale to be anyone's she recognizes. All she can smell of him is petrichor, thick. ]
Never mind that, get in here, you're soaking wet!
