[ There is a Riku sitting on the beach, completely soaked. But she hasn't been in the water. It's raining loudly, thunder cracking across the ocean. There's an open and abandoned umbrella at her side, and the sand all around her is smooth and clear, except for the messy remains of her footsteps. It gives the feeling that everything's been washed clean. Propped up against the doorway sits a stroller; yes, she has her baby with her, but unlike his mother, he's quite protected, bundled up in a tiny raincoat and extra clothes underneath. He's quite safe. And while that coat has a hood, that's all there is to shielding his face. There's no point in hiding him anymore. ]

[Baby sneeze in 3... 2... 1...]

[D'aw baby sneezes. He just chuckles some more.]

How long have you guys been out here?

Not long. Not even ten minutes.

[Baby cooing, now.]

Good. If you guys get sick, I'm banning you from peanut butter.

[What. Do you see this kicked puppy look on her face?]

That's too strict.

It's not like it would be a permanent ban.

[Stop it with that look.]

[Oh fine.]

Good thing we're not going to get sick.

Then you have nothing to worry about!

We should probably leave soon, then.

[She's looking at Aden when she says this, of course.]

Probably.

[Babby isn't allowed to get sick, for sure.]

[Let her stretch out her back and she'll stand up, staring out across the water. Nice light show in the 'sky' there.]

[Quite so. Does she mind if he wraps an arm around her waist?]

[Not at all. After another burst of lightning she looks at him, then smiles.]

[Returns that smile and nods toward the exit.]

Come on, let's get you two out of that wet clothing.

Like you're that dry.

[To the door?]

Drier than you.

[Possibly. And yes, to the door!]

[Since he has Aden, he can put him in the stroller once they get there, or keep carrying him. She'll be busy wringing her hair out.]

[Stroller's probably a better bet, unless that thing is soaked as well.]

[No, it's completely dry. No rain in the halls.]

Take the coat off first.

Right.

[Takin' that tiny coat off that babby and setting him down.]

[He's got a little more clothes on than usual underneath, to protect from the cold. Riku shakes her hair out, crossing her arms after with a big smile.]

[Sorry, was he supposed to be pushing the stroller or something, he's busy making faces at Aden.]

[Aden must be loving that. Riku thinks it's silly in a cute way.]

You know, you can do that in the room.

Would you rather I did?

Hey, that's up to you. But I'm going to go put some dry clothes on.

[She'd put her hands in her pockets, but her jeans are sticking to her.]
