Caregiver (big sissy) Vi with little autistic Caitlyn headcanons ~ rain edition !! ☔
♡ ~ Caitlyn loves the rain. It's her favourite type of weather. She loves playing in the rain, watching the rain, even just sitting outside in the rain... She would spend all her time outside in the rain if she could, however Vi worries she'll catch a cold if she's out for too long. Caitlyn pouts and sulks when Vi tells her it's time to go inside, usually refusing, and Vi therefore has to bribe her with cuddles, safe foods or other activities.
☆ ~ She loves splashing in puddles, hopping from one to another like a little bunny. Once she jumps into one, she'll stand still to watch the oscillating ripples fan out beneath her feet. Vi bought her a pair of wellie boots to stomp around in, to make sure her little feet stay dry amidst her water adventures.
♡ ~ Her favourite thing to do is spend rainy days in the garden. She'll watch, utterly mesmerised, as the leaves of her plants bend under the weight of rain droplets and let them use their curves as a slide down to the earth, and she could spend hours just staring at the way the droplets arrange themselves along the dainty strings of a spiderweb. She thinks nature is even more pretty in the rain.
☆ ~ When it's too wet or too stormy to go outside, she and Vi can be found perched at the nearest window and playing raindrop races along the glass - winner gets a kiss! Caitlyn squeals with glee every time the speckles of water combine and get a speed boost, rocketing down to the bottom of the frame. If not racing, they're drawing in the condensation, using their breath to widen the canvas and their fingers to trace out the pictures.
♡ ~ Her childhood red umbrella is her favourite umbrella and she will not use any other one; she likes the way the handle feels in her hands, insisting it fits perfectly in ways no other umbrella does, and she likes spinning it to watch the water droplets fly off all around her. It's very special to her, being from her childhood and consequently reinforcing her feeling small, and so Vi doesn't let it outside the house if there's a strong wind (as to not risk it getting broken).
☆ ~ Caitlyn loves the sound of rain. Whether it be against the canopy of her umbrella or against the rooftop of the Kiramman mansion, the pitter-patter sound of the droplets is like a comforting melody to her. Sometimes she'll curl up in Vi's lap and fall asleep to it.
♡ ~ Either during the rain or once its passed, Caitlyn loves playing in the mud. She and Vi make mud pies together, topping them off with floral decorations, and Caitlyn loves looking for worms in the damp soil. She proudly shows Vi each one she finds, and they make it a challenge to find the longest one! She often needs a bath afterwards as she gets very grubby.
☆ ~ Rain isn't just appealing to Caitlyn's sense of hearing, but also her sense of smell! She loves the fresh, earthy smell of petrichor - so much so that Vi bought her a perfume that smells just like it for the inevitable absence of rain when she wants it. Vi will spray the perfume into the air and let little Caitlyn run through the mist, using her imagination to pretend it's really raining.
♡ ~ Sometimes she tips her head back with her mouth open in an attempt to drink the rain. When Vi asks what she's doing, she tells her she's 'getting a drink, just like her flowers'.
