"So, Rose…what were you planning? Not that I'm not fine with a stroll, but what specifically?" Hawk queried, side-eyeing Rose as he did so. The two were walking through the park near Rose's house, on Earth after Rose had waylaid Hawk after school and dragged him with her, saying that she'd explain once they got to their destination.
Rather than answer, the blonde glanced upward at the overcast sky, dark clouds had rolled in sometime since she left for school that morning. After another moment, Rose bounced to face Hawk, "Well, this morning the weather was so nice and I thought it would be a good chance to show you more of Earth. But it kinda looks like we're about to get soaked instead." Even as she spoke, a few drops splashed down.
"Oh, that tree over there looks good!" Rose motioned to a nearby tree, before seeing Hawk's alarmed look. "Or maybe not."
Casting about for a shelter place, that wouldn't electrocute them, Hawk's gaze alighted upon a bench just past Rose's tree. "Aha," He cried in triumph, "That shall be our refuge! Away fair princess, our shelter awaits!" Grasping Rose's hand, they dashed for the bench; laughing as they splashed through rapidly gathering puddles.
As they arrived at the bench, Hawk fished his dormant wand out of the pocket of his jeans, awoke it, and with an elegant flick, cried "Snow magic!" In the next instant, a coruscant stream of blue magic shot forth, gathering around the pair before solidifying as an icy shell around them; the rain, now a deluge, still visible through the open front, pounded down.
"Oh Hawk, it's so cool! And look," Rose craned her head back, attention on the domed roof, "some of the raindrops got stuck with the ice!" Sure enough, some of the drops had been caught in the magic and were now transfixed as gently gleaming ice stalactites.
"Ah well, it's just a spur of the moment fix." Hawk blushed and scratched the back of his head, grinning. "Anyway, you said something about showing me more of Earth and the culture. I don't think showing will be so good right now." Almost as if on cue, lightning forked through the sky, thunder rolling on its heels. "But you know, you could always tell me about Earth; we've nothing but time till this storm runs down or passes." He suggested, moving from where he'd cast the spell to join Rose on the bench.
Grinning, Rose took Hawk's hands and leaned forward, closing the space separating them, "Hawk, of all the ideas you've had and all that you will have, this is most definitely, one of my favorites! I don't even know where to start!"
