rainy days are always a pain --- quite literally, in his case. rain makes his joints ache, makes his arm feel all the heavier, makes the junction of metal and flesh sting at every single little motion. a lot of people seem to love rainy weather, however, and he supposes he can kind of see the beauty in it... the feeling of being cleansed, the smell of fresh wet soil, the little droplets racing down the window to see who gets first to the bottom. and yet... himself, he canât help but feel nothing if not MELANCHOLY; as though his soul is empathizing with the clouds above, and weeping within. silly thoughts with no real consequence, soon to be washed down with another sip of his coffee... or it would have been, though heâs just realized heâs not alone at his table anymore; that, whilst he was spacing out and staring through the small cafeâs window at the streets outside, this young woman took the seat in front of his own. which maybe his paranoia would have minded, in any other situation... yet, right here and now, with how uncanny / unexpected it is, Buck canât help but offer back a small smile --- slowly grounding himself on reality once more.
