Rain. She liked rain. It was one of the few things in this place that still made any sense to her. Therru had never really gotten used to having such a busy life. While Hammel was suitable for her academic and power training needs it had yet to fill any of her emotional wants needs. She wasn’t good at making friends, because she was so coiled into herself, and the teachers here weren’t like the people at home. The people here were so weird about age boundaries and respect and such other silly things as that. Therru needed to make friends, but someone older than herself. Which had led her to spend an increasing amount of time away from the institute lately. Whether she was wandering in the nearby woods or doing something in town she was away from people her own age.
Which was just as well for the girl. It was becoming increasingly hard to be around anyone her age. Her personality just didn’t seem to mesh with other people. She was too quiet, too reserved, too polite. She couldn’t really even find anything in common to talk about. She didn’t like the music they listened to, didn’t really know about all the recent events that had happened. She felt a little…removed from the whole super structure that was Hammel. So she had decided really to stop trying. Her social skills just weren’t there.
The girl did know that the rain was something that would never betray her, something she could always count on to be the same. Right now it was a warm rain, falling softly across the landscape in a humble, almost musical pattern. Dressed in her usual jeans, long shirt and thick black and white flannel she sat by the lake trying to decide what to do. Right now would be the perfect opportunity to practice her powers. She so grabbed her small bag and moved it under the tree. From her waist a small pouch was detached and set in the bag, and her flip flops were kicked off. Therru didn’t even have to think about how happy the rain made her.
She neared the water’s edge, movements slow as she felt all the little drop become part of the larger body of water. She slowly put both hands in front of her, letting the rain wash away all distractions. The hydrokinetic was already soaked, but somehow it didn’t seem to bother her. Her hands slowly rolled over until there were palms up and she pulled her arms in, bringing a small amount of water with her. It danced and shimmered as droplets hit it, and she carefully twirled it. There wasn’t much else she could do other than make the water gracefully race around her in circles. Joy suffused her wet face, and she didn’t notice the other person approaching, watching her in one of her few happy times.
