Part I
Anyone with half a brain
Could spend their whole life howling in pain
The rain came down in dull sheets, slicking the city in airborne muck. Down below he could see the bottom feeders, the sheep, scuttling out of the deluge. Afraid to be stained. They were too soaked to idly return indoors; they would ruin the carpets.
"I hate them sometimes." He confesses, voice hoarse from roared anger the stones are already forgetting. "For being weak. For needing us."
"That's like hating us for being reliable."
His silence is louder than the patter of a billion raindrops.
Part II
Just when you feel you've almost drowned
You find yourself on solid ground
The rain throbbed down like a pulse of hearts blood bringing much needed relief to the city below. He did not need to see the joy on the faces of the scattering poor to know it was there. Exclamations drifted up to their deserted rooftop, bringing a soft curl to his lips.
"They need us, and you at least are too good a man to turn away."
The world could be shifted on that certainty; his companion's anger wavers a moment then slips away leaving just a battle weary child behind and a uniform that clung obscenely in the rain.
