Hey, who ordered the rain!? [Open]

It wasn't uncommon for someone to suffer from lazy afternoons. Or, well, lazy days. With things having calmed down from both the wedding and the prom, things seemed kinda slow at the moment. In a way, that was a good thing. In a place like this, having quiet time was very rare. On the other hand, it was a bit worrying - who knows what might happen next?

For Sasami, though, she ended up taking it in a bit of a stride, opting to hang around a portion of the Kohaku River near her house once more. Relaxing by the water's edge once more, the feel of the water on her feet felt relaxing to her. Letting out a sigh, she laid back and started to relax.

At that moment, she felt something drop on her face. Something wet. Then another. And another.

"ACK!" was the last thing being heard left out of her mouth as, suddenly, the City was hit with something very rare: rain. This wasn't supposed to happen! ...or was it?

"How interesting. This is different," said Philip, the young man having come down to the River and watching the rain fall as he waved at Sasami.

"Oh, Philip!" Sasami called out, waving back at the other boy. She stopped to brush her bangs out of her eyes to get a better look at him. "Yeah, it is different - I've never seen it do this..."

Lifting his book, he held it open over her head. "I hadn't thought we got rain, but it's a nice change to offset the humidity of the ship."

"It is...!" Sasami said, looking up at the falling rain before wincing as a few drops got into her eyes.

"I wonder why it did so now... and it hasn't had any other weather?"

"Maybe we only get rain once in a while, but this is random even for the ship." He shrugged. "I don't know if Stacy could improve on hot and muggy anyhow."

"I wish it could..." Sasami admitted. "At least home we have something to use to cool down from all the heat!"

Lots of fans. Lots and lots of them.

"Next time we get a chance, we're building a fan," decided Philip.

Sasami couldn't help but chuckle at that.

"Yes, yes, we are."

Moving to shelter Sasami with the edge of his jacket, he remarked, "Are we going to just relax in the rain or no...?"

"Oh...! Eheh, that sounds like a better idea...!" Sasami said, nodding and letting Philip lead the way.

Chuckling, he lead her towards the house. "Maybe come out later after it cools off, and have a little splashing in the water?"

Sasami giggled a bit at Philip's suggestion. "That sounds like a good idea...!"

As they got under the house's roof, Sasami pulled away from Philip and began to wring out the water from her pigtails. "Eugh, I forgot how much of a problem this was..."

"Need some help?" asked Philip, shaking the water from his jacket and his book. "I've read up on how to braid hair."

"Oh, sure...!" Sasami said, nodding. Reaching back, she slid the hair tie from her lift pigtail and removed the ribbon from her right, letting her hair hang loose to her ankles.

Getting the water out of her hair was a challenge, but soon Philip had managed to wrestle her hair into a semblance of cooperation as he began to braid. "Any preference?"

"Nuh-uh." Sasami uttered, trying to resist shaking her head. "Do it however you like."

"All right." And Philip began to braid her hair in a nice looking french braid, working his hands through her hair.

Sasami let out a relaxed sigh as Philip did his thing, letting him work in peace.

Soon he was done and smiled. "There we go. Not bad for a first time doing that."

Sasami pulled the braid around and looked at it, smiling as she did.

"I'm impressed! I hope my hair being wet wasn't too much of a problem."

"It wasn't much of a problem. I just had to compensate for the tightness of the braid before I continued," admitted Philip.

"So, it won't undo itself, right?" Sasami said, tilting her head a bit. Granted, if she decides to train, it probably would.

"No it shouldn't. I adjusted it for the maximum amount of tightness while making certain it wasn't going to tangle later." said Philip, moving to sit down next to her.

Once more Crucible had taken some free time away from his palace and duties to take a relaxing swim through the river. It was for that reason that the rather large form was moving closer to Sasami, the slightest of sounds of water hitting the surface of the water as well as Sasami's surprised 'Ack'. A rather large head lifting from the surface of the water not far downstream of Sasami, ignoring her for the moment to look skyward, "Ah good, a little rain couldn't hurt," Rumbling almost to himself before drawing his gaze down to the small girl, "Greetings,"

Sasami couldn't help but jump as Crucible surfaced from the river. It was probably a good idea she didn't decide to go swimming - she really would have freaked!

When he addressed her, she calmed herself to respond back. "Hello! Enjoying the rain?" Silly question is silly, but it's the only thing on her mind at the moment, considering.

That reaction was one he was well used to after some time on ship while spending time in his rather large true form. "Indeed, the rain is good on occasion," he replied with calm regard as he watched her a moment.

"It is, isn't it?" Sasami replied. A moment later, she ended up bowing at him. "I'm sorry for my reaction, though - I guess I'm still not used to everything around here...!"

"Quite so," he commented as he peered down on her calmly as she bowed, "It would seem many aren't, do not concern yourself greatly because of it however." Crucible replied with the ever slightest hint of amusement as he moved himself up out of the river, giving her a better idea of just how large he truly was.

"Wow..." Sasami uttered, watching him step out. Despite having seen a lot in the past year or so, it still amazed Sasami to see certain things like that.
