The weather situation on this planet was getting out of hand. Lovas had only been here for a handful of moon phases, but he was starting to understand that every single shift in atmospheric conditions was doomed to be uncomfortable. Freezing and slippery, or cloudy and blustery, or more recently, hot and sunny- his least favorite (he was told that it was strange to be so hot this early in the year, but Lovas would've found it uncomfortable at any point).
There were very few such shifts on his planet. Eternally dusky, with temperatures between chilly and freezing. Not the most hospitable, sure, but Lovas at least knew what he was getting each and every day. Here? Not so much.
The conditions of the day seemed to be wet and dark. It wasn't the first time it had rained since he'd come to Earth, but he did consider it the most bizarre occurrence. He couldn't remember a time it had rained even once on his planet. At least, not while he was in the presence of it. And not anywhere he'd seen evidence of, either. There was very little wet at all, on Lovas. Minimal vegetation, no liquid pockets in the earth, and air so arid that his people had developed physical traits to avoid the necessity of drinking anything at all.
And here, water just fell out of the sky at seemingly random intervals.
Lovas had been out and about, as was his norm- there was much to see and experience on this planet, and he could do that while keeping his senses open for whatever putrid, vile poison needed to be eradicated. His 'patrol' had started dark and windy, but dry (mostly- it was only damp enough in the air to frazzle his curls). But by the time he'd made it far enough to be inconvenient to trek back home, the rain had started to fall. First in tiny, sparse droplets.
And then torrentially. Quick and heavy in thick, fat droplets that made it hard to see more than a few paces ahead. Lovas sought what cover he could beneath the sweeping, albeit mostly winter-bald, branches of one of the many great trees in one of Destiny City's many parks. Since it was such an unusual phenomenon for him, maybe he should simply... sit and wait it out. It didn't seem to want him to leave, if making it difficult to see or hear was any indication.
