Kauz gatherd her skirt and rang it out. Then she did the same with her shirt. There wasn't much to ring out of her hair, so she just let it air dry. "Really?" kazu asked ruffing up her hair with her fingers. Kazu glanced outside, another flash of lightning followed by thunder. Kazu gripped the wall of the overhang. She plopped on the ground and took in a deep breath of air, then realseaed it.

He attempted to dry his wet fingers on his semi-wet pants then slid his glove back on to his hand, "Yup. I was going to bring my umbrella too, but I decided against it, obviously." He shrugged his shoulders as he let himself sit in the sand once more. "Truth be told, I've never really seen what it's like when it is stormy on a beach." He mumbled, then glanced over to Kazu, he perked up a brow, "Afraid?" He questioned.

Kazu smiled sheepishly. "Well...i don't particually enjoy it.." "Even after all the storys by father used to tell me to cheer me up i never really got over it..." Another crack of thunder. Kazu jumped a bit. "I didn't even think about bringing an umbrella along." "I came out here because....." Kazu was inturpted by coughing. She covered her moyth with her fist.

Ari nodded, listening to her as he glanced back to the sight of the waves crashing upon the shore. "Oh, I'm sorry." He responded, but he still continued to listen but did not speak

Kazu brought her knees to her just and hugged them close in effort to stay warm. There was an akward silence between her and Ari.....he didn't talk much. Kazu kind of felt out of place and a bit weird. Kauz rested her chin on her knees and followed Ari's gaze to the crashing, now voilent waves. Perhaps i'm being a bother.....it's m fault we're soaked. After all, I did insist on the walk.....perhaps i should just leave... Kazu coughed into her fist again.

There was a bit of silence between the two, which gave Ari a moment to think, he sighed softly. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" He spoke, almost very quietly, but yet loud enough for her to hear. He heard her cough, he cleared his throat. "Maybe it would be wise to get out of here. If you stay into those wet clothes, you'll sure catch a cold." He told her, only glancing at her for a moment before looking back out at the waves.

Kazumi nodded absentmindedly. "Ya...i should probably get back home." Kazumi stood up and walked towrd the exit. "I'll see you around then?" Kazu asked stopping and glancing over her sholuder. Kazumi had decided to tone it down when she was with Ari from now on. He seemed to be the type who didn't like a lot of crazyness. In due time she'd be able to act a little more carefree around him. But for now she was going to keep it at a certain level.

Ari silently nodded then glanced towards Kazu, "Feel better, you hear? And maybe we'll see each other around." He told her. She seemed like a nice girl, Ari took note of that in his mind as he went back to looking out into the ocean horizon without another word crossing his lips.

'I will." Kazu waved goodbye and ran back out into the strom, shelidng her face with her arms. Whatever had been bothering her was now drowned out by the wind, rain, and the ocational clap of thunder and flash if lightning. Soon Kazumi disapeared behind some rocks, and evenutally made her way home.
