It was raining - pouringĀ ācats and dogsā as the expression went. Alexander hated rainy days. It meant that they couldnāt do their work in the orchards. Heād tried to go out once before during a storm, wanting to work despite the weather. Heād gotten in trouble for that, and as much as he liked to bend the rules, he wasnāt keen on getting caught again. Besides, picking was no fun during a storm anyway, and being in the trees always meant a higher risk for lightning. Thatād be a fucked up way to go, he mused to himself. Wolf taken out by pretty lights in the sky.
So, begrudgingly, Alex stayed in the camp. Heād made his way to the meal hall after getting bored in his own cabin. There were others filing about as well, no doubt the weather effecting their plans for the day. Still, heād yet to make much conversation, brooding to himself over being stuck inside. Even now he leaned near the window, watching the rain drops hit the ground.Ā āI hate the rain,ā he finally voiced, saying aloud what heād been repeating in his head for hours now.Ā āSo boring,ā he sighed dramatically, finally turning from the window to lean against the wall instead. It was then someone was walking by, and Alex gave another sigh for affect.Ā āThereās nothing to do!ā
