Way to ruin a good day - though it's debatable whether days can even be considered 'good' in this kind of hellish place. He didn't know which was worse; his old school, or this one - a creepy one where the unnatural students seem to be the one having identity problems. Not that he'd ever admit to having these problems. Here, no one knew HAYATO, possibly the only plus point about this so-called academy.
So when the rain starts falling, he merely sighs before heading for the courtyard door -
- only to find it locked.
Slaine will be able to see Tokiya fiddle with the doorknob for a few more moments before the teen gives up and joins him under the tree in silence. His expression is a little more pinched than usual.
Two boys under one tree in the rain. Could things get more awkward? ]
[For his part, Slaine doesn't seem all that affected by the presence of company. They've got an arm's distance or so between them, and that's enough to satisfy any comfort zone he might have. Perhaps not so were he elsewhere, among people who hated Terrans by virtue of being born on the blue planet, but...well.
It's fairly safe to assume based on the presence of living, breathing (albeit bizarre) nature that they're on Earth. So why would Terrans revile other Terrans?
They'd hate him if they knew who he was, but nobody recognizes him this far.
A long, heavy round of silence settles almost uncomfortably between them before Slaine thinks to make any comment at all]
Just to confirm...
[Because the circumstances warrant that he question his faculties at this point]
[ Tokiya's thought processes are a lot less complex. Slaine looks very much like a normal human, and more importantly distinct from the horde of sameface clones that haunted the school's rooms - therefore immediately making him a lot better as company. If anything, he was content to stand just in silence, regarding the other with a subdued intensity once the question is posed. ]
... It does.
[ His reply comes after a few seconds, enough to let him assess the situation clearly. ]
This is no mere rain.
[ But then again, is anything a mere thing in this place? ]
[Slaine weighs that reply for a few moments in silence, staring up at the dismal grey clouds as though they might distinguish themselves from any ordinary ones. Of course, they look no different, but he keeps his gaze skyward all the same.
What was happening without him, while he's here in this place...?]
Another oddity amongst the rest, I suppose.
[Though mercifully, it's not dangerous unless that rain gets in someone's eyes. And then, it's mostly going to be painful. Maybe they should consider themselves fortunate...or maybe they just ought to be all the more wary.

Does it also smell like the ocean to you?

In this place, it's difficult to judge]
