It was one of those glum, drizzly mornings that everyone hates. Well, everyone but Suisaru. On the contrary, she rather liked these mornings, everyone hurries to their destination and never stops to bother her, the sun doesn't glare into her sensitive gray eyes, and she enjoys the smells and sounds that accompany such weather. As an added bonus, she gets to wear her cloak. Suisaru is rather fond of her cloak, it makes her stand out, but it is warm and dry and who is around to bother her about it? Suisaru's Eevee however, does not like such wet weather, she dislikes how the wet makes her paws cold, her sense of smell weak, and it makes mud. Eevee hates mud, it gets everywhere, it's slippery, and worst of all it is nearly unavoidable. Suisaru's cloak does help Eevee stay dry, and she does enjoy running around Suisaru's feet, but it does take more energy to get places, and she still can't avoid the mud. Today, however, was a special day for both of them and neither paid much attention to the weather. Today was the day that they went to the lab to take their last test before being allowed to go out on their own adventure. Suisaru's stride was longer and faster in anticipation, and Eevee, excited in her own way, darted about extra nimbly, between, over, and around her friend's feet.
Ten minutes later, Suisaru spied the Lab.
"Hey, Eevee! That's the Lab!! Let's hurry!"
Suisaru cries as she bursts into a sprint.
"Eevee!" Eevee responded emphatically, happy at the prospect of getting out of the mud.
"Hello? Is any body here? I'm here for the last
test! Hello?" Suisaru calls out as she enters the building. When no one answers immediately, she decides to take care of her cloak. She whips it off with a flair that was obviously more for
fun than for a good effect, shakes it to get rid of any remaining water and then drapes it over a nearby chair and sits down to wait. Eevee is busily shaking and trying to get dry. After she decides that she has done all
that she could do, she walks over to Suisaru and complains until Suisaru pulls out a brush and helps clean her up.
Finally with nothing else to do, Suisaru pulls out her flute and swiftly runs through some scales before starting to play a swift, bouncy, song that causes
Eevee to caper about joyfully.
