The rain beat heavily on the ground outside, causing Selene to retreat further into the cave with a squeak.

"Rain..." she bemoaned. "Why does it have to rain?"

Claire didn't have a problem with the rain, though. She ran out and began dancing in it, for all the world like a three legged mudbray.

Well, Selene thought as she watched the poliwrath dance in the rain. At least she's having fun. She quickly pulled a flask out of her bag and poured herself some coffee out of it and sighed.

She and Claire were going to be here a while.
