(( Note: This is for Quest Two, Rainy Day. ))
He had been blissfully playing outside when suddenly the clouds gathered up, bullying him overhead and knit themselves into a huge, sulking rainstorm. Rascir was too far from the apartments to run straight home, with little alternative he and Donni took shelter inside the old wooden bus stop that was used to send children to and from school.
Rascir sat there aimlessly humming and swinging his skinny legs, as they did not touch the ground by a whole two inches and the laces of his shoes dragged and muddied beneath him on the bench. He watched puddles gather and somewhere in a patch of untouched trees frogs were calling.

Poor Rascir! Iamel was having a grandol' time in the rain. His hair was in that ponytail once again, wearing tall, bright orange rain boots up past his knees with a pair of jeans teh color of water. His shirt was...missing. Iamel wasn't fond of covering clothing.
Bracelets and necklaces rattled as the Gaurdian hopped through the puddles, slamming his legs down on a particularily large one with a laugh. "Gaaah! DIE PUDDLES! Die!" Another laugh, hopping up and down before moving to another. "BOOM!"
He loved the noises and colors rainstorms made.

"BOOM!"...
Rascir looked out to see who had shouted so nearby. Another boy came into view, as well as great splashes of puddles being thrown about haphazardly. Rascir laughed and called out to him.
"Hiiiiiii...!" he waved his arms.
He'd've gone out to play, too, had he not promised Jenys he wouldn't let himself get cold and damp anymore after that cold he'd just recovered from. Rascir checked to see if Donni was staying dry, picking him up and feeling his underside before putting him back down again.
"Don't you catch a cold, too, Donni," he said.

Iamels head darted up when he heard the other call out, lips curling into a wide grin. "Doggie toy boy~" He waved right back, tromping over towards Rascir.
"You! You should come out in the rain and play with me! It's SO much fun! THe rain is cold and energizing and you can jump around and things go SPLOOSH!"
He had made no such promises. NO SUCH promises!

"I can't, I made a promise!" he called back from hands cupped around his mouth to cut through the sound of the rain. "I don't wanna get another cold! Donni doesn't like getting wet, he's a cat!"
Maybe that would be enough explanation, but he laughed watching Iamel play in it.

A promise? Iamel blinked a little at that, pausing his hopping and moving closer to the other. He was half-under the little bench thing, water dripping down into his already soaked orange hair.
"What kinda promise won't make you get wet? Cold? What's a cold?"

Rascir stared curiously as water dripped off Iamel's soaked skull and down to his shoulders, musing over it as he was asked questions. He beamed a smile at him as he replied.
"It's when you get sick," Rascir explained. "Your head feels all burning up but the rest of you feels all cold.."
He hugged himself in pantomime. "And you feel like all you wanna do is sleep all day long and you can't eat anything but hot soup and stuff that's mostly hot water. Donni got sooo bored when I was sick and Jenys said I got sick because I let myself get cold and wet for too long. So he told me to promise and I did!"

".......well, then we'll go get hot chocolate after. I nearly gots frozen and I didn't get sick." His hand lashed out, wrapping around Rascirs wrist and tugging, just slightly. "C'mon! My shiniee makes good hot chocolate! He's a good Shiniee!"

"I can't," Rascir said, letting Iamel take his wrist. "I gotta wait until it stops raining or I'll get wet again. Thought the sun was gonna be out all day, but then it started raining."
He scooted over and offered Iamel some space to sit down with him. "Wanna sit down and wait with me? It prolly won't rain for much longer. Then I'll go with you!"

"But that's stupid." He grumbled and moved into that bench anyway. "The rain is the BEST part of the weather." Huffing and settling down against Rascir.
"How's the doggie?" Reaching over, the little bird gave the stuffed thing a soft pat.

Rascir laughed as Jenys was refered to as "the doggie". "I asked what he wanted for his birthday and he said he wanted peace of mind," Rascir shrugged looking lost. "How'm I gonna find -that-? I don't even know what that's supposed to mean! So I said if he'll give me money I'll walk to the store and buy stuff to make him a birthday cake like everybody else gets."

He blinked a little bit, "Shiniee says he gets peices of his mind lost whenever he gets another kid?" The bird offered, fingers splaying out and shoulders rising into a shrug.
"What's a birthday cake?"
