 Posted: Wed Dec 22, 2010 2:56 am Post subject: A Roof in the Rain (Silv/Amane) |
 |
|
The streets of BonBon were deserted. Though it was mid-afternoon, little light bathed the streets. The sky was dark with clouds as rain poured into the paved streets of the town.
Silvador stood by the door of his store and looked out at the thick veil of falling water that marred the typically joyful and colourful street of BonBon. He'd gone to his store just after lunch to receive that latest delivery of sculptures for him to sell. Then, the day was as it usually was. But in a couple of hours the skies darkened and the rain began to fall as though the ocean itself were falling on BonBon.
With a sigh the panther watched the puddles ripple as numerous drops of rain continuously disrupted their surface. The large market district that was usually filled with stalls and courtesans was filled instead with only a few empty tables and countless puddles. When the rain had set in, everyone had closed shop and gone home for the day. But the panther had chosen to stay. He could shelter from the rain just the same in his store as he could at home.

Silvador turned from the door and looked around his new store. It was larger and fit more sculptures then before. Making his way to the back, where the counter was, the panther sat down and began aimlessly drawing, occasionally looking up to look out the large window into the empty market square.

Leaning back in his chair, the panther looked out his store window once more and spotted a figure walking briskly through the street. Standing, he went to the door and opened it. From the doorway, Silvador called to the figure who looked to be a female fox.
"Hello," he called to her.

"Most people stay at home to bath," Silvador called out with a chuckle. "Would you like some place dry to rest while the rain passes? Or is there some place you need to go to?"

Silvador stepped back quickly as she entered, getting out of her hurried way.
"I'm afraid I don't have any towels. But there is a small fireplace in the back room," the black panther said. He went past the fox and opened the door behind the counter that led into the back room. Inside was almost like a small lounge room. To the left of the door was the panther's red velvet couch, a simple but comfortable 3-seater. To the right was a small bar with only a couple of half empty bottles of liquor, a bowl of fruit and a glass jar of hard candy. Directly across from the bar, against the far wall, was Silvador's artist desk. The slanted desk, with it's attacked over-head lamp sat at an angle facing the whole of the room. And on the left wall was the small fireplace with a small log burning in it.
"Just in here," Silvador said, stepped back to allow his guest entrance. "Feel free to have a drink if you want. I don't really know what's there, though."

Silvador walked over to the fireplace and dropped a larger log on. The flames sputtered for a moment before beginning to wrap around the new food.
"So, what brings you out into this weather? If you don't mind my asking," the panther asked.

"I wouldn't say artist," the panther said humbly. "I mostly sketch designs for new sculptures. That's not to say I don't draw anything else."
Shuffling through several papers, Silvador picked one out and handed it to his guest. The image depicted a naked otter sunbathing on the side of a slight hill.

"Thank you," Silvador said. "If I may ask, what do you write?"

"Oh. I see," Silvador said as he sat in the chair behind his desk. After a few minutes of silence, the panther spoke again.
"How do you like BonBon?"

Silvador sat in his chair for long minutes. He couldn't think of anything to say. Standing, he went over to the bar and poured himself a glass of water while glancing out the door. Outside, it was still pouring rain.
"Doesn't look like this rain is going to let up any time soon," he said. "Is there anyone waiting for you at home?"

"I see. I'm much the same," the panther said, returning to his seat.

"Hm? Not at all," Silvador said. "Just a lack of ability to think of something to say. It's not often I entertain guests, so I find it difficult to find subjects of conversation. I'm sorry."

"Of course," the panther said as he picked up a glass off the rack and set it on the counter. "I have water and I think scotch and whiskey. I'm not really sure. I don't drink myself. These were a gift from the cheetah next door when I moved stores. I used to have my store across from the Inn."

"Iris, next door, might like you. She sells clothes and makes some herself, I believe. She gave me these gifts," the panther said.

"She was a lovely person," Silvador said.
