Hugo looked up at the clouds for a moment, just in time for a splatter of raindrops to catch him in the glasses. He blinked annoyedly, then shielded his pipe with his free hand. The smoke shifted from pink and green to steadily greyer shades as the raindrops hammered down.

All I need is one good smoke.
Begone, water, and bother my pipe no more."[/color]

The pink and green smoke still in the air whirled back down to Hugo's pipe and formed a protective shield, locking the raindrops out of it. Hugo then relit the pipe and continued in his chase. He puffed out of existence and popped back up next to Rikeno in a burst of grey.
