Lunar Rover nodded up at the sky. Living in a train station, there was the loud rumbling of passing freighters and the shaking, but there was timing involved and predictability. This...was not predicted and was overhead, not on tracks that the trains never strayed from. The danger was everywhere here, not only on the tracks. Lunar tried not to think about it too much.
"Are there any buildings nearby?" she asked, gathering up her berries. The station wasn't too far away, but she couldn't take him there. Sure, a doctor had a female from Baker's flock staying with him, but he didn't fear anything. Lunar herself had plenty to lose. But in the face of approaching danger, she was being given very few options.

"There's the main building for this place, but it's raining pretty hard..." replied Sashimi as he looked around. he spotted a pallet of concrete garden fencing and noticed a few had been moved so there was a good sized space between the middle and top shelves mostly enclosed by the concrete he tapped Lunar's wing and pointed, "There, we could stay in there in case the roof blows away." he said gathering up the berries they'd collected as carefully but quickly as he could. "It might not but the wind's getting pretty bad.. Better safe then sorry, yeah?"

"Yeah." That would work. Lunar continued gathering her own berries. "You lead the way." She didn't want to be rude by fleeing first.
The wind was getting so bad that Lunar could swear that she could feel a little percipitation catch on her feathers as if there was at least a small tear in the canvas.

Sashimi looked up, thinking he felt some rain as well before he nodded to Lunar and flew over to the shelf. He peered inside the area with no fencing and then called back, "It's empty, we'll be safe in here!" over the roar of the pounding rain.
Just then one of the ropes securing the canvas down broke lose and the entire corner of the green house canvas began to flail violently in the wind, letting rain douse most of the inside just a few feet away from Lunar. "Woah! C'mon Lunar, hurry!" he said as her flapped back over to help her with the berries.

Lunar let out a cry of vulgarity at the loosened canvas. Grabbing her pouch in her claws, she peeled over to Sashimi's shelf. She passed him by, instinct and reflex controlling her movements.

Sashimi watched her zoom past and quickly followed, "You move pretty fast." he said with a small laugh trying to lighten the mood and calm her down when he had gotten safely in the little space. "We'll keep safe and dry in here, don't worry." he said in an assuring tone as he peered out. The wind was whipping the leaves and vines of the plants about and several fell over as he watched, thunder crackled overhead and he jumped. They would be safe in the shelf as the fencing was set in such a way to shield them from the wind and rain like a little room. "are you alright...?" he asked going over to Lunar.

The room-like setting and drab-gray was enough to make Lunar start breathing a little more normally after hiding within the shelving space. "Y-yeah, I'm okay. Just had a little shock, y'know?" she said with a wing-wipe on her face like an exasperated human gesture. "You seem to be holding up okay." she openly observed. "Right?"

"It's just a bad sky water, that's all." he smiled but winced as another loud thunderclap echoed overhead. "Too bad for the berries though.. hopefully they don't all blow away." he sat down and shook off a little of the rain, careful not to get any on her and sighed, "Oh well.. If they do all blow away then you can have all these for your ink." he said with a sincere smile, "I can find something else sweet for Tobe."

"Thanks, but I couldn't. I think I have enough anyways." Lunar said. "I just hope it's over soon." Luckily with each thunderburst she flinched less and less.
She sat reflectively and soon enough the rain's tempo started to slow.
"Is it almost over?" she asked aloud, having nothing else to say at the moment with her current state-of-mind.

"Almost, looks like." Said Sashimi peering out of their little safe room.The rain still fell but it was lighter now and calming and the light was a little brighter as the thick clouds began to thin. He smiled with relief, at least the place didn't completely blow away. Leaves and berries were scattered everywhere under the ruined canvas but here most of the plants were still standing. He looked back at Lunar and said happily, "Heh, looks like we made it, yeah?"
