seeing a familiar looking face, feels curious. She approaches him, carrying her umbrella. "You'll catch cold if you do that you know."

glances in the direction of the familiar voice, offering Hungary a wide, uncharacteristic grin. "I might...but then again, it's so lovely

out here. Why not take the risk?"

smiles in return, surprised a little at his reaction. "That's true." she agreed, walking over and allowing herself to feel the rain as well.

"I've sort of forgotten what this feels like." she thinks aloud.
