"Ah!", the Suzume said with some realisation... and an equal amount of confusion. "Ame-kun seemed to be quite comfortable in the rain. In fact... he seemed to be quite comfortable with Thunder and Lightning, too? He... mentioned..."Kaito Oubaihime wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:53 pmShe showed the Suzume her hand filled with rain. "I am a priestess of the Water Dragon and water seem to be friends of Ame kun."
"Ah! So... you talked to him through the rain?"Kaito Oubaihime wrote: ↑Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:21 pm"I am yet to meet them. I spoke to the rain." The Kaito stated.
"I talked to the rain that told me that Ame kun was around and that he was faster than you." The Kaito was quite literal in that sense. "I haven't seen Ame kun."Suzume Senseki wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 3:05 am"Ah! So... you talked to him through the rain?"
He still seemed somewhat confused, but something seemed to linger just outside his reach in his mind...
"Ah!", he says, somewhat surprised, looking at the raining skies again, then back at her. "So... Kaito-sama can speak to the elements, then? Or, well, to the rain, at least..."Kaito Oubaihime wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 1:23 pm"I talked to the rain that told me that Ame kun was around and that he was faster than you."

"Hai, I learned to make the rituals to commune with the spirits and many of my prayers are heard by the water and the air." She nodded. "Not much, that they are shy... and my studies tell me that it is known to wear a straw hat and hide inside umbrellas."Suzume Senseki wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 6:22 pm

He lets out a silent chuckle. "Ame-kun certainly is fast. I... start to think I may understand why." He looks at her again. "Did the rain tell you anything else? About Ame-kun... or otherwise?"
"Ah! That is quite interesting, Kaito-sama! I didn't know you had such skills." A long silence, then, as he considered what she'd said. "Hm... hide inside umbrellas? I wonder if we could see them again if we take an umbrella with us to gather herbs tomorrow..."Kaito Oubaihime wrote: ↑Mon Aug 30, 2021 6:32 pm"Hai, I learned to make the rituals to commune with the spirits and many of my prayers are heard by the water and the air."

"Oh!" The Suzume takes his hands to the hat. "I mean... I'm used to it. But it's only a straw hat!", he says with a silent laugh. "I believe I should be able to get or make a new one, if it comes to that"Kaito Oubaihime wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 1:19 am"Are you too attached to your hat?" She wondered. "I think they may want it as well as our umbrella."
The Kaito nodded. "I think they like hats so they can hide their face." She explained.Suzume Senseki wrote: ↑Tue Aug 31, 2021 11:17 pm"Oh!" The Suzume takes his hands to the hat. "I mean...

He takes off the hat and looks at it for a while, a grin forming on his face. "I wonder, though... what is it about the hat Ame-kun might be interested in? "
