"I guess there's nothing much to do but wait right now." Fenris said as he settled down on the relatively dry ground.
He rustled up his wings trying to get all the feathers settled so that they would dry faster. He then looked at DuMourne with a grin on his face.
"Tell me DuMourne, has anyone caught your eye around here?"

"Anyone? Uhmm.....Well...." He stuttered.
DuMourne suddenly began to blush at the question. Of course there was a mare he had feelings for, 'had his eyes on' so to speak, but he doubted he'd even have a chance with her.
Marifold was a lovely mare who he'd met once, slept with platonically and had lunch with, but whether she would be interested in a stallion like him. He couldn't even hold a decent conversation let alone commit with her properly without making himself look like a fool. Though, maybe ther was chemistry, Marifold did show all the signs that she trusted her, what with her light kisses to his cheek and comforting him during the night.
He shook his head slightly and looked around, desperate for something to talk about instead.
"....Nah you don't wanna hear about it, it's boring." He randomly said.

Fenris laughed at DuMourne's reaction and the answer he finally gave to him.
"So there is someone." He gave DuMourne an unnerving grin.
"Don't worry I won't ask you to tell, but I'll listen if you want me to." His grin turned into a warm smile.
Fenris kept the smile on his face as he turned back to stare into the rain.
"It's a soothing sight, isn't it?" He gestured into the rain.
He let out a sigh and reached into the rain with his wingtip causing few drops of water to start running down his wing before folding his wing back against his side. His thoughts returning back to the filly he had seen in the library when he was still a colt himself, she had been his first crush and he could recall most of the details about her.
"Well, I guess I'm like water myself... only standing still when forced to." He shook his head our of his memories and grinned.
"Rain always makes me go a bit emotional."

"Yeah i guess it is quite lovely....When you're not being drenched by it." He mumbled, turning his head to the rain.
The sound of the rain was quite soothing, the constant sound of the rain hitting the ground was a beautiful soound, one he admittingly could isten to for hours. It made him feel calm, like there wasn't a care in Equestria. He sighed soothingly and looked at Fenris.
"Marifold." he sighed. "Her name is Marifold Prancer...."
He began to blush madly.
".....And i love her."

Fenris turned to look at DuMourne and seeing the blush on his face let out a chuckle.
"Well, I guess you don't need to worry about staying dry, you seem almost ready to ignite." He teased the earth pony.
"Marifold Prancer... cute name, I'll admit... and somehow fitting for you." He was grinning widely at this point.
"You asked her out yet?"

"N-No i haven't" He mumbled.
HIs ears went low as a look fo embarrassment and sadness glowed on his face. He didn't know what to say to Fenris, but logic said the truth was best. But should he tell him the truth? Fenris looked like the stallion who would understand but something told him there was still that possibility he'd laugh.
Still he sucked in his gut and looked at Fenris.
"I don't.....Don't think she'd be interested in a pony like me. I mean, she is single and all, but i think she'd be better off with a bigger stallion than me." He sighed.
"I mean, i can barely commit to myself, i'm so pathetic and all that i think she only talks to me because she feels pity for me" he moaned.
"I just....I dunno whether i should. I love her, yes, but i don't know whether she feels the same way as me."

Fenris looked at DuMourne with an understanding look. He then stood up walking next to him sitting down and placing one hoof on his shoulder.
"You know I used to think like that too, I just told about the filly I saw when I was still in Canterlot. I never asked her name or even talk to her, but I still remember her like I met her yesterday." He retracted his hoof staring into the rain.
"I learned lot after my crash, one of the things being that things can change so fast. I lost one of my dreams that day, but since I have found many more dreams and lost some of those too." His smile shifted into a more somber look.
"I have even lost some friends, to things I couldn't control..." He let out a deep sigh and let a sad smile on his face.
"But I never regretted making those friends and I still carry them with me... in here." He tapped his hoof to his chest.
"But I still regret not talking to that filly back in Canterlot." He smiled as he stood up and looked at DuMourne.
"Ask her out and find out if she feels the same..." His smile turned into a friendly grin.
"Act, don't think."

Fenris placed his hoof on DuMourne's shoulder and it made his tail slice through the air, not in anger but in surprise. It had been a while since anypony he placed a hoof on him, save for Marifold and it felt almost alien to him. But he did nothing to resist, allowing Fenris to keep his hoof on his shoulder. He looked at the pegasus and put on a small smile.
"Yeah, i guess i should ask her."He sighed.
"Wait, that'd mean i'd have to prepare, I'll need bits and stuff, an outfit that looks smart. Dress to impress as they say."
He stamped his hooves on the ground a little, thinking of all the things he needed to do, forgetting that he had to ask Marifold first.
"Cheers Fenris." He said several moments later. "Sorry if i'm overeacting, it's just these things make me super nervous."

Fenris chuckled at DuMourne's confession about getting nervous. He shook his head in amusement.
"You know, I think everyone does get nervous about these things, I know I still do." He ran a hoof over his mane.
"I'm not sure about the dressing part myself... I just wear my vest, though admittedly my wings help." He tapped his hoof against his chin.
"Or maybe it's just my rugged charm and devilishly good looks." He said striking up an exaggerated pose, like the ones you read in books, though the silly grin on his face was rather telling in that he didn't take himself entirely seriously at the moment.

"Yeah, rugged charms." He smirked cheekily. "I bet the mares swoon as you trot down the street."
He nudged Fenris playfully, but at that moment lightning struck, the sound of banging drums filling his ears and making them pop from the sheer volume. It made him jump high, panic striken and panting like made.
"Oh my gosh, this storm better stop soon, that lightning's gonna make my heart weaker than Marifold's." he moaned and sat on the bench.
"If i've said it once i'll say it again, i hate Cloudsdale."
DuMourne began to scrap his coat, the uniform always made him itchy whenever he took it off. Under normal cirucmstances he would keep it on, but he felt he'd be worse off with a soaked uniform than without. Still, he couldn't help shake the feeling he was naked, especially with his cutie-mark showing.
"So this mare, what did she look like? Can you describe her to me?"

Fenris turned to DuMourne and grinned.
"Yeah, I could describe her... but I think I won't. If I happen to meet her, then I might let you know, however unlikely that is though." He smiled as he laid back down on the ground.
The lightning didn't bother him that much, the flashes tended to give you a fair warning before the sound hit you and he admired the savage power they were unleashing as they struck. He observed the cloudcover noticing a slight shift in it that usually was the first sign that the storm was starting to break.
"I believe the worst should have passed, I'm not sure how much the Everfree Forest affects the storm though..."

"The Everfree forest? Probably nothing good knowing that place." He groaned. "I still don't understand why the Princesses don't have any control over it, it's a pat of Equestria. Hell, how is it able to even to grow on its own?"
DuMourne looked up at the darkened sky for a moment. It was true from the way the clouds looked that the worse was probably over, but the wind and thunder hadn't died down. More and more rain poured down, but the clouds looked as if they were seperating which was a good sign. He checked his uniform, it was still soaked before taking a little peek at the bucket nearby.
"Shame about that filly, but whatever. I'm sure you'll see her soon." He added, trotting to Fenris and nudging his back.

"I have no idea how the Everfree works, I've read a few theories, but they all seem to contradict eachother. It makes me curious however." He ended looking over to the forest in question.
"And meeting that filly again... yeah it would be nice, though it's rather unlikely, all things considered..." His voice trailed off.
"And I have no idea how I would react..." He grinned a bit.
"I never was any good at dating, most times I end up making a foal of myself, but I really don't mind that, it's just who I am." He shrugged .
"Most of them didn't seem to mind either... some even didn't mind when I told I would most likely be leaving sometime." He smiled as some of the memories came back to him.
"I guess the best advice I can give to you about dating is: Be yourself, be honest and be careful what you promise."

DuMourne, being the awkward pony that he was, looked at Fenris for a moment. He was giving him dating advice even when he was too nervous to ask out the filly he had a crush on, which in his mind was kinda funny. Part of him didn't believe Fenris, it seemed he knew this pony before but wasn't telling the stallion the whole truth. Understandable, they'd met like less than an hour ago once he put his mind to it. Guess it wasn't long enough to fully trust him.
"Yeah, be myself, got it." He said.
DuMourne prodded at the ground for a moment, unable to think of something to say. The whole Marifold thing had been resolved and the storm was still going, albiet dying down a bit but not enough that they could make a break for it to Ponyville.
It was only a few minutes later a thought dawned on him.
"Fenris, you're a pegasus, can't you get rid of some of the cloud to make it stop raining? That's what you ponies do right?" He asked.

Fenris looked at the clouds feeling the wind and judging the density of the rain as he pondered what he should do about DuMourne's request. He would be able to do it, no big deal, but he was more concerned if it would have some adverse effects on the weather patterns. He looked at his wings then grinned, it was worth a shot, he had always wanted to try if it really worked.
"Well, I might be able to make you patch to run through. I'm not sure if it will work though, but it's the only thing I can think of right now. I don't want to mess up with weather without orders quite yet, still need to study the weather patterns more before I'll do that." He stood up rustling up his wings and looking at DuMourne.
"If it works you'll get back to Ponyville relatively dry, if not you'll get a shower." He sat down a wide grin on his face.
"I'm all up for it, so how about it? It's not certain that the trick will work, the theory behind it is sound enough, never gotten around trying it for real." He sat there waiting for DuMourne's answer, with his shivering wings showing his excitement.
