[This time, Rin actually acknowledges the rain they're caught in the middle of. There's probably a dryer place to have this conversation. Though he's also starting to suspect there's something odd about this weather and how it seems to almost... respond to what they're feeling.
He doesn't like it at all. Especially since he doesn't want Sousuke to know that he's unhappy things haven't healed all the way yet. It's so much easier when these conversations are via snail mail.
Rin tries to force more assurance into his tone, but it falters a little.]
Y-Yeah, it's great progress! You'll be back to the water in no time at this rate!
[The last part does sound more confident than the first since hope is something Rin still holds steadfastly. It's enough to chase a way a bit of that lasting chill.]
