[test] THIS WEATHER IS RIDICULOUS

[espigeonage]

Random scenario test drive meme. Some prompts:
> Ah god it's so hot and muggy how awful!
> The worst thing about summer cold snaps: you don't usually have your windbreaker handy because it's been so damn hot.
> The wind is perverse and trying to steal your things and/or crash stuff into you.
> It's raining wet vermy-things, as if the hail and possible storm wasn't bad enough. Now you have rain-echoes to deal with, at best.
> A nice day? I guess those exist?

So where are you?
> Caught way out in the open! At the beach, in the steet, at a fair, anywhere.
> Taking shelter! Bus stop, club you wouldn't normally frequent, bridge underpass, any port in a storm, any shade from the deathsun.
> In the mall or somewhere comfortably out of the elements, you lucky sunuvanek.
> Somewhere... else? idk, do what you want!

Have at thee!

[He looks away from the relentlessly pummeled puddle in the street, caught by surprise when that familiar voice interrupts his attempts to mentally stop the rain.]

Kotetsu.

[It'd slipped his mind the Police Station was nearby. It would have been far better shelter than a bus stop...

He almost asks how Kairi is, why he's out so late, but there's a question in the air and he remembers just where he is isn't exactly what one would call the ideal conversation place. Does he need a ride... yes.]

No.

[...]

... yes.

[His pride is wounded, but the milk. His suffering is pointless if the milk goes to waste sitting here for hours waiting for the rain to stop.]

[earnedmystripes]

[He grins just slightly in amusement as the other man refuses, only to accept a moment later. But he says nothing on the matter, and nods.]

Just gimme a sec.

[He finds his car, driving around to pull up at the curb in front of the bus stop. Luckily, there are no buses in the way at the moment, and he gets out, opening the door to the passenger side to his friend. Before starting the car back up, though, he maneuvers them ridiculous lanky legs to shimmy his way into the back seat, from where he can reach the trunk area of his hatchback.

That may or may not be a nice, dry hoodie being tossed at your head, Byakuya.]

[Truth be told, he's cold, tired and really just not in the mood to deal with manly pride right now. So when that car pulls up, probably very warm compared to the bus stop bench, he wastes only a moment to steel himself against the direct torrent of the rain and climb into the offered passenger seat. He also silently vows never to forget whatever his wife's asked him to pick up ever again. Ever.

All Kotetsu receives for that trouble is a brow quirk at his shimmy and a soft sigh that even Byakuya is not sure is relief or just fatigue.

He does not quite appreciate the hoodie tossed at his head though.]

You're keeping busy.

[Has nothing to do with hoodies, but he gives Kotetsu a sharp glare for that. It's dry, where he is not. Can't complain too much about that.]

Working late again, I suppose?

[It's the only reason he can imagine Kotetsu being out here in this weather. At least, Byakuya doesn't see any milk for him in sight.

Even as he says that though, patting his hair dry with the hoodie, he eyes him. Maybe they don't see each other often, but he does (as does his family) worry about him. He's a foolish man and someone must.]
