The demonic male sat outside of the Lucky Noodle, tail wrapped around paws and wings falling lazily to his sides. Not a single thought stirred through the dark male's mind as he closed his eyes and lifted his muzzle to the darkening sky. A soft roll of thunder sounded in the distance as the wind swept through the demon's jet-black fur. He could go inside to be warm and dry from the ominous storm, but what did he care? He simply didn't feel like moving even as the wind rattled a warning through the windchimes. Sorren sighed lightly as a drop of rain to the forehead brought his silver gaze to the gray, depressing clouds that loomed overhead. Reality didn't care what happened to him, so why should he?

A black fox walked down the street towards the shop. If she'd had her choice she wouldn't be going in there. But she was sent to get something from Rayna. Rain started to fall down onto her fur. She looked up and embraced the cold, wet, pure rain. Each drop against her face made her calmer. She started walking again, when she saw a glint of orange and yellow and against something black. Kaze simply looked at it out of the corner of her eye. Her red eyes lit up with sadness and pain. The rain continued to fall around her, and the world still went on around her, and time was still ticking along. In the fox's world, none of this was happening. She didn't have a care about reality, she preferred to be caught up in her fantasies. Nothing could hurt anyone there, she made it however she wanted. There Kaze stood, staring at Sorren.

Sorren blinked at the light downpour of rain as water ran down his muzzle and dripped from his nose. His leathery bat-like wings stretched breifly to releive themselves of excess water before propmtly folding back to his sides. The demon had been lost in his daze of water falling from the sky and did not notice the dark figure whom blended in with the gray atmosphere nor did he hear her approching over the patter of rain against the concrete. Instead, it was a small, red gleam that broke Sorren's gaze from the depressing air and brought him returning a stare to an angelic femme. She bore a series of monochrome colors that blended together, unlike the pelt of the demon's who owned the brightest color possible to rival his sleek, dark fur. He always gained unwanted attention for that. His dull, lifeless eyes continued to stare boredly back at the femme before the tuft of his ear gave a small flick of recognition, almost in greeting.

Kaze just stared at him. Her own ear twitched in return of his. She reached around to rub her notch and then wiped some rain off her clipped wing. Her gaze returned to the bright yellow and orange fox. Looking up at the sky, the now pouring rain soaked the red-eyed fox. She closed her eyes and let the rain melt away everything that had always held her back. Ruffling her wings, she rid them of water and brought her attention back at Sorren. He didn't say anything, and he didn't need to. She understood they were somehow the same. She couldn't put her finger on it, but she knew she would be able to sometime.

Sorren tilted his head in a peculiar manner, taking no notice of the water that plastered his fur to his skin. She greeted him back without saying anything. No happy, non-stop question asking, no males running up and trying to caress her. But then who would be wandering around in the rain? She reminded him of someone... himself? Her coat wan't like any other foxes he had seen, then again, he had never cared for what other fur looked like and the fact everyone looked different somehow. Yet, almost everyone acted on an impulse to follow after an attraction based around it's beauty. To Sorren, in reality, looks were deceiving. He took note of the notch in her ear and her clipped wing, but said nothing about it. What did it matter to him? He simply sighed and shifted to the side as if coming to realization that he had been standing in her way.

Kaze watched Sorren with unsure eyes. Her notch and wing burned as she knew he had noticed them. She saw him move out of her way and her tail flicked the slightest bit at the tip. She walked under the cover of the shop's awning. The fox just stood there, staring at the sky. Her wet fur was stuck to her skin, and she left it there. No reason to shake off the wet blanket of comfort that lay nicely on herself. Normally shifty eyes didn't leave the sky. Her gaze left for half a second, to look at the shop. Bending her head down, she decided not to go into the shop. The errand could wait.
Kaze padded into the rain, and sat opposite Sorren. She didn't feel a need to speak, or even look at him. The fox's red eyes focused themselves on the ground.

The demon's eyes closed once more, allowing the stream of water to roll over his face. He sighed as his silver gaze, half-raised to the sky, glanced at what seemed a never ending downpour. Something felt out of place. The door had not opened behind him. No one entered, no one left. He did not remove his eyes from the daze he was in. He really didn't have the feeling to question the angelic's actions; he had no reason himself for sitting in the rain. Yet a small voice, scratched and strained from lack of use, manage to crack through Sorren's throat to ask. "Don't have to go in...?"

The fox slowly turned to the one who addressed her. "No" Truth be told, she did have to go in there, but she'd made the decision not to. A gust of wind sent chills through her, but hey, she didn't care. There wasn't anything she wanted to do but lay in the cold rain. Soak me, that's all I want right now, she thought. The world can wait, for once, I think I deserve to have something that won't be taken away.
Her red gaze bore into his, searching for something. A hidden meaning to him?

Sorren blinked slowly at the femme's response and merely shrugged. It was not his place, nor any of his business to ask. His lifeless eyes traced hers for a moment before boredly pulling away. His attention watched the street as the demon dragged his body to the earth in a laying position, his yellow muzzle tilting lazily over the edge of the sidewalk as gutter water laped at his nose. Oddly, lyrics rang into his mind as he gazed about the scene.
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
He wasn't sure why those particular song lyrics played in his mind, nor did he remember where he heard them from. He quickly wiped the song from his conscience with any other thoughts and breifly glanced up as a bolt of lightning illuminated the sky.

Kaze watched Sorren and released her gaze from his. Her eyes flickered to the lightning bolt. Lightning.... she thought. She pulled her tail around and rest her head on it, turning so she faced the opposite direction of Sorren. Lyrics rang through her head. For her, it wasn't unusual.
Poor unfortunate souls,
So sad,
So true
They both were obviously not keen on being noticed or talking. Normally, Kaze wouldn't like to be as close to someone as she was with Sorren. But for some reason, she didn't mind his company. He didn't want to talk and neither did she. But, if he were to talk to her, she most likely would reply.
Why is it so different? What is there about him that's keeping me here? I mean, I would be here anyway, but so close to him? Something's attracting me, but I don't know what it is. Something is on his mind. Either he's like me and something happened to him or he just is like this...
She turned her head the other way and let the rain drizzle down her muzzle while she stared at him for a reason she didn't even know.

Sorren rolled onto his side, his drenched, dark fur clung to his skin, making him seem like a dead animal to anyone who only glimpsed the demon while passing by quickly. He glanced over at Kaze whom curled up opposite of him in the rain. Rarely anyone sat with him for this long because his lack of enthusiasm or his social inactiveness. Yet there the angelic lay. Thinking back, only one fox had ever directly asked him to be their friend, and he never learned her name. He had not exchanged greetings, names, or barely even a setence with this dark, red-eyed character, but somehow, he felt he knew her better than anyone he ever encountered. Now he shouldn't say he knew her, not even knowing her past or the way she felt about things, but the demon felt something like a connection with the dark femme. The on-coming rain finally sent a chill through his bones, though his outer appearance showed no reaction. He caught Kaze's gaze directed on him. Something about those piercing, red eyes that held untold secrets sent a feeling through his body; a feeling that an emotionless fox as himself could never explain.

She watched him turn and think. She didn't care that something dragged her soul closer to the demon next to her, she was content. Finally, after all her pain and suffering, something felt... okay. A feeling she hadn't known for so long had now introduced itself. The orange winged fox didn't ask for a name, and just the same, the angelic didn't feel the need to know his. She reached a paw out and lazily let it hang in the gutter water. With the added rain, it was much higher and definitely colder. No one needs a reason, they just do what they do. Most of the time, other foxes will not leave her alone. She's still fairly new and she's already scratched two foxes.
"No friends..."

"None..." he murmured in return after a moment of silence. "...reality is cruel that way..." Perhaps it was compassion, perhaps it was respect for this angel who hid pain behind her red eyes that made him speak out. Pain... Something the demon could never understand. A hollow emptiness always made him indifferent to the world. The cold and uncaring chill he lived by made him expect to receive the same out of this dull reality. After never finding the point of doing anything, never finding anything that ever mattered to do so, Sorren finally asked,
"...why...?"
His eyes turned a lifeless gray and gazed about, as if searching for an answer he would never find.

She shrugged a bit. "Life's cruel that way I guess"
Her red eyes revealed a world of pain and suffering, the horrible experience she'd went through. She scooted her head closer to him and layed it on her tail again. Besides Taelence, who had forcibly gotten her to communicate, Sorren was the first one she really talked to on her own. WIthout anyone else's instruction. Simply because she wanted to talk to him.

He nodded slowly, eyes drifted into space as he was lost in thought. "... wonder... why we need to care, ... if life doesn't..." Why we need to care... His head jerked slightly and his iris' returned to their normal silver sheen as if he just snapped out of a trans. He remained motionless on his side, the only movement being the rise and fall of his yellow underbelly, while he looked back at Kaze. Her outlook on life was the same as his own, yet she seemed to have a reason to see that way. Then for the first time in his life,
"... I'm Sorren..."
He introduced his name without it being asked for, whether she cared to know it or not.
