@subtleblade liked for a starter from Clive!

"Oh, Chidori, did you need something?"

He wasn't at the Hideaway as much as he probably should be. But Clvie didn't feel that comfortable staying in one place too long. After their first was attacked and they lost so many, he didn't want to run the risk of doing that again. Not to mention there was much work for him to do away from the base. But when he did return, he tried to make himself available to those who may need him. Or even just listen to what they may need even if he couldn't fix their problem.

“ stop punishing yourself for being someone with a heart. ” a pause, before softer. “ you cannot protect yourself from suffering. to live is to grieve. ”

The hanging edge of room was just about all that stood between the pair and becoming completely drenched. A simple and quick shopping venture had turned into a fight to stay dry, with Syla and Chidori now biding their time for a opening. An opening which seemed less and less likely to come through for them. "Don't tell me that. Just when I was beginning to have hope..." Syla muttered half under his breath as he chuckled. Even if it was a bit troublesome, rain never ceased to amaze him. Far different from home and almost precisely when it was needed. Or at least, how precise it seemed to be to cause trouble for him.

Shifting his shoulders and arms, the viera quickly slid the hefty leather overcoat from himself. Only to half lay it over his auri companion with a knowing grin. "There. At least you'll be dry." He huffed proudly as he adjusted it to cover more of her.
