[font=trebuchet ms]The sky was dripping rain, soft and cool in the face of the late-spring heat.
Straw didn't mind rain at all, when she wasn't climbing. (When she was, that was a one-way ticket to a nasty fall and probably a broken limb.) The chill it set over the land was welcome, and unlike the bodies of water on the ground, it didn't encumber her movement at all. It was cleansing, after especially stressful days, to step outside and be showered with clean moisture.
She noticed Tena sitting on the docks, soaking in the rain. She recalled Tena having said she enjoyed the rain- would never complain about rain, in fact. She also recalled, however, the time when Tena stood staring into the water despite not being able to swim (according to Lavi).
Would Tena actually jump in? Straw doubted it, but nonetheless she approached the edge of the dock and sat a few yards away from Tena, watching the rippling surface of the water. There was no harm in being around just in case. She didn't have to interrupt Tena's musings, she just had to be nearby and alert.
