Illyria: (Illyria closes her eyes as the rain falls down from above, letting it run down her face in tiny rivulets. A smile tugs at the edge of her mouth, threatening to become a full-fledged smile.)

Illyria: <CHARNAME>, do you like the rain?

Illyria: I find it so comforting... I am not entirely sure why, but it fills me with a sense of serenity, and of calm.

PC:
1: I'm not entirely sure. It's more of an annoyance than anything.. makes the roads slippery, and the ground muddy. Not good for adventuring in. I suppose it's good for plants, though... (to A)
2: I love the rain... I find it so refreshing; so invigorating. It helps me think. (to cool.gif
3: Urgh. I can't *stand* rain. Makes everything soaking wet and freezing cold! I wish it would just stop already. (to C)
4: Why do you ask? (to D)

Illyria:
A: Perhaps it is not exactly ideal for human cities, I see your point. In nature, however, it is a welcome necessity. In elven cities, the buildings are constructed to take advantage of rainfall instead of wasting it, which is what happens here in Athkatla. Perhaps one day humans will learn to take advantage of the environment around them, rather than simply taking what they want and destroying everything else.

A: But I digress. We have things to do, places to go, people to see. (She smiles once more, and goes back to drinking in the rain.)

B: I noticed- I too find it rather invigorating. Maybe not so much in the depths of winter, but spring showers... ah. Is there anything better?

C: Rain does have its good points as well, <CHARNAME>, but I do see what you are saying.

D: No reason... just wondering. (She smiles at you once more, before turning her attention back to the clouds above.)
