Dawnlark Plains Rain or Shine (III)

"Rain," the woman offered unhelpfully in response to Nanook's admission, though a split second later she realized what a stupid answer it was. Saena was a former naturalist and should've had more to say than just "rain". "I don't know why it's doing this. You can see rain coming and it comes in a line like this, but..." here she struggled before concluding, "it doesn't stop."

She met the youth's orange eyes for a moment, then cocked a grin and asked, "d'you think it's a special kind of rain?" She didn't know. Weather systems and how they interacted were well beyond the scope of her knowledge. Yet, as if to test this theory, the alpha female took a slow step forward, then another, and plunged into the wall of water. She'd half expected to be stopped somehow, as if an invisible wall separated the rainy side from the dry side, but there was nothing between them and soon she was standing in the downpour. She glanced at the sky overhead and found no answers there either. Nothing to suggest anything special about this rain.

She glanced back at Nanook, curious to know whether something had changed from the youth's side of the rain curtain, as her fur flattened with dampness.
