Zathra had been taking a walk when the storm started. After the accident at his shop he was taking the day off to clear his mind. He wouldn't have gone out if he knew it was suppose to start storming so much, so obviously it was a miss-communication from Cloudsdale. He wasn't worried about getting wet, in fact he liked the feeling of the rain, it was the wind, the occasional bolt of lighting, and his burn that was the issue for him.
As he half trotted back to Ponyville he noticed two other ponies under an archway sitting on a bench, they seemed to be talking about something, Zathra didn't know what they were talking about, but he was hopping they wouldn't mind him joining them because his burn was starting to get very irritated with how much he was moving and he needed to take a minute to sit down. "Hey? Is it alright if i sit with you?" Zathra asked, soaking wet.

"Well there's no reason not to try." He said excitedly. "I'd like to see how good you are with your wings anyway."
He jumped in excitement at the thought of this working. If Fenris was able to move the clouds, he'd be able to get home relatively dry. He grabbed his uniform from the edge of the bench, it was still soaking wet so he couldn't put it on, instead throwing it over his back near his satchel.
"Alright, when you're rea-GAHH!"
He jolted into the air, scared witless by a voice that randomly appeared from the side of him. He was pretty sure his coat turned white as flew up into the air before landing in a heap. He turned around and saw another pony: A unicorn with chocolate like coat. He was absolutely drenched yet the facial expression showed he didn't mind. The pony said something about wanting to sit with them.
"Uugh....S-sure, i guess. Just don't scare me like that again." He moaned, getting up and looking at the new pony. "I'm DuMourne."

Fenris laughed at DuMourne's reaction who had been so worked up about getting a move on he hadn't heard the other pony approaching. He calmed down quickly and turned to DuMourne poking a hoof at his side.
"He really got you, didn't he?" He was grinning with a spark of laughter still hanging in his eyes as he turned to the newcomer.
"Have a seat, though it might be slightly damp what with all the rain. I'm Fenris Firebrand." He ended offering his hoof to the newcomer.

Zathra himself jumped back a little when DuMourne reacted like that. "S-Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you." Zathra replied, nervous he had given a bad first impression.
"I think we started off on the wrong hoof, my name is Zathra, i guess you didn't hear about the weather either huh?" Zathra asked accepting Fenris's hoof.
Water was quite literally dripping from his mane and tail, so he made sure to sit away from the other two ponies who seemed to be relatively dry.

"Yeah very funny Fenris. uugh, feels like my heart's stopped" He moaned.
He looked over to the new pony called Zathra. He honestly looked like he didn't mean to scare him like that, which was more than other ponies he'd met, and was generally sorry. He could understand that it was probably all just a misunderstanding and that he shouldn't hold it against the unicorn.
He turned to Fenris, nodding. "Next time i'm scaring you." He laughed, remembering the plan he'd conjured when they first ran over here. He was no doubt gonna get Fenris back for getting him wet.
He trotted up to the new pony and held out his hand.
"Yeah, i guess we did get off to a rough start. Sorry for jumping like that, i'm quite skittish." He said, mustering a smile.

"Zathra, I reckon no one knew about this storm, seems to have been blown from Everfree Forest, though I'm not entirely certain about that." He shrugged and turned to DuMourne grinning widely.
"You do that, I could use the adrenaline." There was no sarcasm in his voice.
"So you want me to try giving you a dry way to town somewhere, or should we just sit in here and chat?" He turned to look at the skies.
"I'm up for either, so what do you two think?"

Zathra was glad that DuMourne was in good spirits about the accidental scare he gave him. Zathra put out his hoof and shook DuMourne's hoof.
"Giving a dry way home? Well, at this point I really don't think that matters to me ha ha" Zathra laughed looking at his drenched mane.
"Well, i don't see the point in getting so worked up over getting a little wet, i mean it's only water right?" Zathra said with a little chuckle.
A raised a question in his mind. "So your a member of the weather team Fenris?" Zathra gave questioning look.

"A little wet? Zathra do you know how annoying it is to get uniforms dry after a storm like this? Seriosuly, i only have two uniforms and the otherone's dirty. This means either i get this one dry as soon as possible or wash the other one. Either way i'm barely gonna get it in time before my next shift at the clinic. Seriously, i mean, you guys obviously don't mind the rain because you don't wear clothes, but for ponies like me it's a big deal. Everytime it's raining i have to stay in. I don't even like the rain to being with, i mean i know it's necessary for crops to grow and all that..." He moaned.
FOr a while he continued going on, complaining mainly about the rain and his uniform, much to the annoyance of the other two stallions here. This was something he really moaned about, not thinking at all instead complaining like he usually does in a situation like this. He continued until something on Zathra's leg caught his eye. There were bandages around his leg, part of it soaked and torn from the raining, revealing a particularly nasty wound underneath. From a glance it didn't look like a normal wound, instead more of a burn.
"Ouch." He pointed at Zathra's leg. "How'd you end up with something like that?"

Fenris listened to DuMourne's ranting with half-formed grin. Chuckling as he mentioned the lack of clothes. He was shaking his head wondering how long his friend, as that was what he already considered DuMourne, would manage to keep his rant up. And then DuMourne's attention got shifted into Zathra's wound.
Fenris followed suit and also looked at the wound, it looked painful, but it seemed that Zathra was dealing with it quite well, which made Fenris not worry about it either.
"Yeah, I guess I am part of the weather team, though haven't done my first shift here yet." He waved his hoof in the direction of Ponyville.
"Which is partly why I don't wanna mess with the weather that much yet, no reason getting fired before I start the job." He smiled as he turned and noticed Zathra's cutiemark.
"Anvil and a hammer... are you a smith by any chance?"

Zathra sat quietly and let DuMourne rant, he knew what it was to need a good rant, so he let him finish.
Suddenly the attention was at his burn, which he hadn't noticed was showing. "Oh, i just had a little accident at work" Zathra used his hoof to try and fix it, but the water had made that pretty much impossible so he gave up after a bit."how did i get it? Well, i'll give you the short version. I was working while stressed, lost my concentration on my magic, dropped what i was working on, fell onto what i was working on" Zathra look a breath after his explanation.
"Um... well, it's probably better if you don't mess with the weather without knowing the consequences.... but that's just my opinion."
"Oh, yes, i am a smith but my training only ended a couple months ago."

"Ouch, that sounded painful." He remarked.
As if on cue, the medic pony trotted over to his stuff and grabbed his satchel. He began to rummage through to find some ointment for Zathra hoping that would help it heal. He grabbed it, the tube still had a lot of cream in it and threw it to Zathra.
"Here, in case you wanna rub some more into that burn." He said.
He turned to Fenris.
"Well, maybe you shouldn't mess with the weather until you're on the team. You'd probably get us in trouble for it." He sighed.
"Oh well, it seemed like it was a good idea during the ten seconds i thought about it." He chuckled.
He looked over to the rain. He swore the rain was slowly dying down, but it was still belting down hard. He couldn't tell how long it'll be until they could venture out. So until that time, yet again, he was stuck talking to the two stallions near him.
"So Zathra, tell me about yourself." He said.

"Well I siad I don't want to mess around with weather that much, certainly not enough to cease the rain, but the trick I was planning would have little to no effect to the general weather patterns, so it would just go unnoticed." He grinned.
"Though I'm not against just sitting down and chatting for a moment, either." He was still grinning as he turned to Zathra.
"Yeah Zathra, do tell."

Zathra caught the tube of ointment that was tossed at him. "Thank you, but i really don't need any". Zathra handed DuMourne the ointment back.
He was glad they weren't going to mess with the weather, though he trusted that Fenris would have been able to do it.
"About me? Well i used to live in Manehattan before i moved to Ponyville a couple weeks ago. I've been working under a blacksmith in Manehattan until just a few months ago. And now i own a blacksmith shop of my own here in Ponyville"

Dumourne whistled *Manehatten? Wow, that's pretty....Uhmm....What's the word?" He asked, scratching his head.
He grabbed the oitment that Zathra had declined and shrugged. He guessed that the wound was probably taken care of and didn't need any as of yet, so he simply placed it back into his satchel.
"a blacksmith huh? Quite good, it pays well from what i've heard. I myself wouldn't go near any of the toals you use, I'll just stick to being a medic."
DuMourne sat on the bench again, hooves on his chin.
"I was guessing you two are new here here, i've been here six months and haven't seen either of you until today. Though i wish it had been under better circumstances..."He moaned.

"Hey, this ain't too bad. If it hadn't been raining we wouldn't have ended up chatting around here. So it's all good." Fenris was smiling as he turned to Zathra.
"Well if you are a blacksmith I might end up needing your services sooner or later, these wings need some maintenance every now and then. Luckily the magical part is the one that has to be done more often, since when in need of physical maintenance I need to take the braces off and that hurts like you wouldn't believe. I have taken the habit of bringing earplugs with me when I'm getting that part done." He grinned at Zathra.
"Also I hope you aren't faint of heart, since during my travels I have learned some pretty colorful language which I'll end up using when the exoskeleton is removed and put back." He sighed a little before continuing.
"The inconveniences caused by the maintenance are a small price to pay though. Without them I wouldn't be able to fly at all."
