The moon was full and heavy above her head, the gentle rays raining down on her with blows heavier even than the water falling around her. Behind her was a cave, in which Chantrea and Aljan both rested, avoiding the rain. But Tola stood outside, swaying slightly, her hair and clothes dripping with water. It was obvious she'd been out there for quite some time, her head tilted up to gaze at the moon. She seemed utterly unaware of the water, unaware of her shivering; despite the warm spring air that had been abundant that morning, the rain was cold, and the moon offered no heat.
Aljan watched from the mouth of the cave, his tail twitching and his ears erect. He knew, intellectually, that the rain couldn't hurt him; it was only water. But he nonetheless stayed inside, away from the liquid he feared. He was afraid for Tola, standing out in the rain; she wasn't built for this sort of weather, her fur too thin to be of any use in the cold. He should go out there and bring her inside, make her warm herself up; but he was too frightened of the water, and she wouldn't listen to him, anyway. So he stood, sheltered, and watched his mistress weave and sway in the rain, his worry and fear growing as her shivers got worse.
