When it Rains || Volkanon & Yuri
It was a rare occasion that Volkanon left Selphia, but it happened. More so now that he had relatively competent apprentices to fill in during his absence. This particular trip was still work related, overseeing an important delivery being made from Bokumono to Selphia. The weather had turned though and neither boats nor airships were taking the risk, so he suddenly found himself stranded on the airship dock until it passed.
There wasn’t much he could do while he waited, but there was enough to keep him somewhat busy. He was far from the only person stranded on the half-way point between the continents, so he was simply doing what he could to make sure everybody else was alright and comfortable. It was the least he could do as a butler, even if he was away from where he really worked. He needed to be busy anyway.
The sound of the central building door opening again caught his attention enough to distract him from whatever minor task he had found and he looked up. He had thought everyone was in by now, considering how heavy the rain was, but he had apparently been wrong. He gasped when he realised it was a young woman, not a crew member like he expected, and she was absolutely soaked. Hopefully there were towels somewhere.
“Miss! Are you alright?” he exclaimed as he rushed to the woman’s side, looking over her for injuries. He was probably in her personal bubble a little, but he had never been all that good at gauging that sort of thing. Least of all when he was concerned. “You must be freezing! Did you not know where to go?”
