Sawtooth Spire putting on her makeup by the unmade bed

Marble was thrilled to see her brother was just as interested to see what was out there as she was. Now she didn't have to worry about going on her own.

When Calcifer walked towards the entrance she was close behind. Marble watched her sibling stick his face out and recoil as soon as he did. A concerned gasp slipped from her maw. Was it dangerous?

Slowly, cautiously, Marble stuck her own face out of the den. A single drop of water rolled off the den's roof and fell onto her nose. She pulled away and sneezed.

The droplet was unexpected, but she didn't exactly hate it. It was very refreshing. She liked the contrast of the warm den and the cool rain. Marble stuck her head out to feel it again. It wasn't one raindrop this time; it was many. They all went plip plop plip plop on her plush face.

She lifted her nose up and closed her eyes to soak in the feeling. Another giggle rose from her chest.
