WATCH THE RAIN && hydrophobia

[hushsound.]

In all honesty, there weren't many things that scared Hush these days. That wasn't to say that he didn't become fearful – far from it, in fact. He had been petrified when he had been sparring with Tanteri and they had both gone plunging from the skies, and he was scared when someone big and scary approached him in the group and he didn't know their intentions, but generally he was able to push through the fears and face them head on, fighting against them with both his fangs and his sword. One thing that Hush had never had a fear of was rain, or, in a broader sense, water. He had actually felt pretty at home when he had dipped beneath the water, swimming and seeing all the beautiful things within the water. This had been not only true for his current form, of Hush, but also true of back when he had been Link, and he had enthusiastically gone to visit the Zora kingdom in the water. He would see Sidon, swim for a while, and just sort of enjoyed himself within the kingdom of waves, something that he was very sure Idyll probably would have hated entirely. Still, even if he did love water back at the Zora kingdom, and didn't mind it now, that didn't mean that he wanted to stay out in the freezing rain that had been coming down in buckets from the sky that day. That was why he had fled within the tavern, willing to brace himself for the cacophony of noises that usually greeted him whenever he went inside the building.

Once of the things that Hush did have a fear of was social interaction. He had had social anxiety for as long as he could remember, and it was what drove him to not speak most of the time unless it was absolutely necessary. It was also the reason that he didn't often find himself inside of the tavern, since it was a place that was almost purely meant for social interaction. Still, it had definitely granted Hushsound welcome protection from the rain when he had rushed inside, and he had been able to avoid interacting with others to much by just hiding himself in a corner and staying silent. Still, he did end up coming out of his corner when Idyll burst in, a huge grin on their face as they announced not only to Darksouls, but to the entire tavern that they had gotten wet from the rain, and that they weren't afraid anymore. Hush had heard one or two things about the sage's hydrophobia but he had never heard all the details, and he found himself perking up with interest. He hesitated for a moment before disappearing into the back room of the tavern, coming back out with a pad of paper and a pen clenched in his jaws, since he couldn't write on the floors of the tavern. Trotting over to where Idyll was, Hush set the pad of paper down before writing, "YOU WENT THROUGH THE RAIN? ARE YOU OKAY? YOU MUST BE COLD..."
