9 Black Feathers [action]
[ With the New Feather cycle still going, one might mistake the woman sitting against the fountain this afternoon in the pouring rain for a newcomer. Certainly the white dress she's discarded next to her would indicate such. But Saten's not new, just fresh back from her Mallynapping.
Initially, she doesn't have the energy to make her way even to the clothes shop. So for a good hour or two, she sits naked in the rain next to the fountain. Finally she manages to get to her feet and goes to the clothes shop, where she picks up something appropriately not white. Then she heads to CH7, where she's not quite ready to make her way up seven flights of stairs on foot. Instead she spends the rest of the day sitting against the building, because hey, she's already soaked. Once the sun goes down, she uses the darkness to slip up to her room.
... At least it's not too cold out? ]

Nice weather we're having. Are you alright?
[Action]
What are you doing?
[Action]
[She shrugs, rubbing her cheek thoughtfully]
And keeping the rain off you, so you don't catch a chill.
[Action]
[ She almost sounds offended by the very suggestion. ]
[Action]
[Saori takes a seat on the edge of the fountain, and shifts her hold, letting the rain resume over the other.]
May I ask your name, stranger?
[Action]
She keeps an eye on the woman the whole time, still far from letting her suspicions go. At the question, she sits up a little bit straighter. ]
I'm Saten. What are you?
[ Not "who". "Who" is less relevant to her right now. ]
[Action]
I am many things, Saten. A traveler, a musician, an artist. Though I suppose you want to know the whole of me?
[Her eyes gloss over the other woman, taking her measure. Not normal at all.]
I am a kami of storms. In the tongues of the West I am a god, and my name is Saori.
What are you?

"Hey, ma'am? You alright?"
[Action]
"Just wonderful."
The sarcasm was practically thick enough to taste.
Re: [Action]
Hell's bells, the girl was freaking naked. In this rain. So I shrugged off my leather duster and offered it to her.
[Action]
But she took the garment anyway, and after giving it a quick look over, draped it over her shoulders.
[Action]
She was kind of freaking me out with the lack of concern. I really hoped I hadn't stumbled on another damn vampire.
[Action]
"There's plenty of buildings. You can go right ahead."
She wasn't about to admit to the fact that she was still a bit too weak to stand up.
[action]
The darkness on his soul might also be visible to Saten as well. Along with a blessing from another goddess of this place, Saori. It almost makes him look like he's glowing. ] Ah e-excuse me, miss? A-Are you alright?
[action]
She's so distracted that she doesn't even register his question. Instead she's fixed on him with a questioning look, trying to figure out just what his deal is. ]
[action]
[ He will divert his eyes fully to the building or floor around them, yep. He also feels mildly uncomfortable, but when is that anything new for Helios? ] D-Do you need any help?
[action]
She relaxes a little. ]
No.
Are you also darkness?
[action]
[ Helios winces, its a wince that isn't just in form or action but almost as if those words hurt. Darkness... ]
N-No. I...I'm not. [ He bits his lip, worrying it a little. She could see him then. Apep. The God inside of him that caused that dark stain on his soul. It hurt a little bit more when she looked at him, or perhaps it was just his imagination and anxiety. ]

[Well, she doesn't look like a Chobit, so this is probably the real life. Or, you know, as real as things get in Luceti. But that just means she can't let this opportunity pass her by! ...though an opportunity for what, she's not sure. Walking over now, umbrella in hand.]
Uhm. Excuse me. But. Uh. [...] Do you want to borrow my coat or something?
no subject
Not in particular.
[ Though at this point she wouldn't object if it were offered, but like hell she's going to admit to that. ]

[...]
Unless you just like being naked? I mean. Not to offend you with offering, but. You know. It's raining and all. And there are people here. So being naked is kind of... bad.
no subject
Saten glances to the white dress next to her, now thoroughly wet and kind of muddy. ]
As long as it's not light colored, I don't care.
[ If she was offering to put forth the effort, she was more than welcome to. ]
no subject
[And so she would prefer to be naked than wear something see-through? Good logic, Kari.]
But. Okay. Wait here and I'll go get you something!
[SKIPPING OFF NOW, BRB.]
no subject
With not much choice even if she wanted to move, Saten waits where she is. ]
