It was inevitable that she would be able to feel the rain if it does start to pour - and there wouldn't be anything they could do about it. It's not like e can bend the rain to stop even though that would have been quite a wonder to be able to do. But he wasn't the Avatar - hell, he wasn't even sure if the Avatar would be capable of doing that. Thankfully, there wasn't any other issue aside from Hikaru's apparent nervousness. Upon arriving at the courtyard, he had held out his hand as he felt the drops of the water and he pursed his lips - moving his fingers to control the droplets in his hands before dropping it onto the ground. So it is raining.

There was fighting too - over by the Earth Kingdom people. The lot of them were throwing punches at each other and none of the guards were moving to quell the fight. They [i]really[/i] don't care about protecting the prisoners. The only thing they had to be worried about was them breaking out or hurting other Fire Nation officials and so they didn't care about the prisoners' wellbeings. If given the chance, Hiroyuki did actually think they would let one of the prisoners die when there's a fight breaking out between them. But Hiroyuki had no business talking with them or stopping them, so he turned - actually intending to go to the other side and "play" with the rain.

He had turned to Hikaru for a moment, about to ask if she was planning on hiding out somewhere, but he had stopped himself when he saw the faded blue lines on her hands. He'd never personally met an Air Bender but he knew well enough what those marks had meant. The girl was an airbender and she was in a Fire Nation jail and now he understood why she had feared the rain in the first place. It was not some childhood trauma - it was a legitimate concern. He could guess that she used makeup to hide her marks as there wasn't any other reason.

He took a deep breath and then raised his hand above them - an attempt to make a sort of barrier between himself and Hikaru to act as a form of umbrella. [color=0076a3]"Perhaps it would be for the best not to get too close to any of the guards."[/color] He whispered to the hiding Air Bender, making sure that no one heard them. He just hoped that he was strong enough and focused enough to be able to keep the water umbrella active so that the makeup wouldn't get removed completely. It would end with disastrous results for his newfound companion and cellmate.
