 C.C. bolted around in the light showers that had been coming down for quiet a few days now. Deliveries for her father's flower shop were still happening, but she often had to wear a floral raincoat plus hat. She was fond of neither. Today she had manage to ditch them for her last delivery, as she took a covered basket to Scent Puff's stable. With all the rain going on about, the rain lillies had finally bloomed!
Shaking the excess water off herself, she gave a knocked a quick tune on the door and cried out in a sing-song voice. "FlooooOOOoower Delivery!"

 Jasmine had been inside for several days completely huffed, or as huffed as the little pricess could get, over the amount of rain that had fallen. Jasmine disliked rain, all the humidity did nothing for her drying tea leaves. Normally it could ruin an entire batch but so far she had been successful at keeping them dry.
Through the drops of rain she heard a knock at the door then the melodious voice of a foal outside. Flower delivery? Was her mother expecting some flowers for her perfumes. Well her uncle did grow them and her brother arranged them. So many reasons for a flower delivery. The bright red filly walked delicately to the door and opened it, blinking at the soaked filly that was on her door step. It was her cousin, C.C.
"Oh my! You are soaked!" she blinked softly, "Won't you come in and dry off, cousin?"

C.C. smiled brightly. "Hi cousin!" She chirped brightly before giving her kiss on the cheek. "Sure, i would love to come in!"
Stepping inside and depositing her basket down. "I brought over a bunch of rain lilies. They don't smell like much but daddy thought your brother might like to play with them. They are so beautiful and they only bloom when it's drizzling or very humid!"

Jasmine chuckled softly as C.C. gave her the well known smooch greeting the filly gave to all. She looked worried though, her cousin was soaked to the bone from the shower. At least it wasn't cold but still. She went to fetch a towel so C.C. could dry her mane a little.
"Oh, how thoughtful. Ikebana-chan will love them," she grinned. Her stoic older brother would adore a new flower to use in his arrangements. However she did not approve of the conditions in which they bloomed. "But I do hope this rain will let up soon. It is most distressing for my teas," she gave a small sigh as she looked towards a rain splattered window.

Taking the towel, she ruffled it through her mane, making it stand up in odd places and angles. "Oh, I would think rain would be your favorite."
She open up the basket, taking out the large bundle of flowers in all shades of purples and whites. "I mean, what better day to rest, meditate and be warm with a cup of tea? I mean, if you had a tea house, it would full on a day like this with phonies trying to be warm and relaxed."

Jasmine shook her head, her white locks swaying back and forth. "No, my favorite days are actually cold ones. Days where a cup of tea can warm even the coldest person and carry them through the day."
Jasmine took the flowers and put them in the flower room, a room reserved for her mother and Ikebana to put their flowers for perfume and for creation. The ruby fill then turned back to her cousin, "All this rain will ruin my tea leaves that are drying. They won't give the flavor I want and ruin my whole batch."

"Cold days are good, but you don't get cold days in the middle of summer, you would get rainy days in the summer and people like tea in rainy days." C.C. finish drying herself, her coat becoming a little fluff up.
She put the towel up to dry. "Either way, I don't get it. Yeah, your leaves are gonna get ruin, but there is no point of crying over spill tea. You can't control the weather, no one can. Might as well make the best of it."

Jasmine couldn't help but giggle a bit at her fluffed up cousin. She really aught to offer to help her brush her mane but the filly would just trot out into the rain again to head home. Jasmine couldn't understand why C.C. liked the rain. It help no love her maybe except watering the tea plants.
She nodded as C.C. spoke of being unable to control weather and not worrying so much about it. "I am sorry if I am...what is it Draft says.....a downer?" she blinked a bit, "But I do not know what to do on rainy days."

"You are not a downer...you just..." C.C. paused trying to find a good word, she waved her hoof around while thinking before poking Jasmine. "Goal-oriented. Yes, that."
"well, you could do what I do. Go out and run in the rain, splash about the mud puddles and what not." She grinned. "After all, isn't mud suppose to be good for complexions or something like that?"

At the mention of running in the rain, Jasmine seemed a little reluctant but at least it was warm outside. She wouldn't catch cold or anything. But the idea of splashing in mud puddles got C.C. a funny look. Mud was dirty and Scent was quite particular about her clean home. She looked out a window again, seeing a few puddles in the front yard.
"Well...I suppose mud is good for your skin and such. But if oka-san find any mud in the house I will be in a lot of trouble," she smiled softly. "We will have to wash off before coming back."

She was surprise that her cousin was willing to give it a try and smiled brightly. C.C, gave a happy noise at that and ran to the door. "Sure, sure, we'll just leave a couple of towels by the door and keep everyting inside squeaky clean!"

Jasmine still looked a little dubious of the sudden adventure with her cousin but collected a few nice towels, some darker colored ones so she wouldn't ruin her mother's nice white ones, and placed them near the door. She red filly peeked out of the door at the falling rain and the rather muddy yard. Perhaps it would be like a spa treatment. Her mother always talked about them and how good they were for the skin.
"Ah...so....what do we do first?" she glanced to the paler filly.

C.C. grinned and stepped out of the house. "First, you need to get a bit wet, don't be afraid of getting soaked!" Her damped hair was already starting to droop in the light rain. "And once you feel the little chill, you look for the perfect mud puddle!"

Jasmine sloooooooowly stepped out. This was entirely new to her considering she always stayed indoors during such showers. Thankfully it was a summer rain so it wasn't so cold and chilly. Her long white hair was starting to stick to her red coat. Her little dainty feel seemed to step a lot higher when walking on the wet ground. If she hadn't been a phony you'd have thought she was a cat who had gotten wet and kept shaking it's paws. "Um...perhaps I shall leave the puddle finding to you?"

C.C. paused, watching her cousin with fascination, mainly because Cuddle, her cat, did the exact same thing! It was so strange to see a phony do that. Giving a quick nod, the red-maned filly ran into the yard until she found a big puddle of mud. "Here!" Her legs were already splattered with big brown spots from running over it. "Think of it like a facial and stuff. Oh! We can have snowfight, but with mudballs!"
