Liss hadn’t bothered to even check the weather, so of course she had come out without a jacket on the one night that it would storm. Usually storms were calming to her, reminded her of the storms she would watch over the ocean back as a kid on Attilan, but this was just feirce, and every crack of thunder made her think there was a gun shot instead, and soon found herself cowering in a doorway. What she hadn’t expected was another body to be next to hers, taking cover in the darkness. But she felt that familiar drain of emotions, making her frown, “Are…are you okay? I mean obviously not, there’s a horrible storm going on and we’re stuck out here, but I meant after the other night, yknow, the..nevermind. Do you have somewhere to go? To dry off once the rain stops?”
Cece had his hood pulled up but the thin fabric did little to protect him from the cold rain that seemed to come down endlessly and soak through his clothes. Strangely, he didn’t mind. It was calming like the rain was washing away every bad emotion in himself and the ones that lingered in the air. They all disappeared to the point the empath failed to notice the warmth of a body, huddled next to his underneath a last resort shelter. His eyes snapped open and he wondered when he had even closed them and then he looked over at a woman with a familiar shock of bright hair. “I’m okay.... my apartment isn’t far.” That was a lie but it didn’t matter. If the rain didn’t let up soon he would start walking anyways because he just needed a warm blanket and a good night of sleep to wash away the coldness that was seeping deeper and deeper into his skin. Also, he wanted to keep the topic far away from what had happened the last time they ran into each other. Small city, he mused to himself.
