"I prefer 'persistent,'" the Fool rejoins wryly, still smiling, but does not push the subject further. Devin's discomfort is not a mystery to him--but for that reason, he knows to step lightly here.
There's a shop a bit further up the road with its doors propped open to invite visitors, which is fortunate considering the sun has begun to cloud over again, the rain picking up. "There," the Fool says and quickens his pace, hunching his shoulders with a grimace that still doesn't manage to quash his laughter as the latest rainstorm comes down upon them in a deluge. Even with the aid of the umbrella, they're still quite damp by the time they reach the open shop front and hurry inside, and the Fool needs a moment to ring a bit of excess moisture out of his sleeves. Not too long, though; like a magpie, he's already examining the wares on sale with bright, avid eyes.
"Oh, this would be perfect," he exclaims, immediately stepping towards an impractical looking cloak of brilliant turquoise--which does not look remotely water-proof. Devin, you have your work cut out for you.
