[The Castform's antics are positively delightful to Richard. He doesn't get out of the house much. Walking in the rain of all things is something exciting to him. His long hair is positively soaked, water clinging to his face and his elaborately frilled clothing. The long ruffled sleeves of his shirt are hanging limp at his thin wrists. When he encounters Shizuru he doesn't speak with her to request her umbrella (of course, he would never leave a lady in the rain to keep himself dry, no never) but instead to smile whimsically at the young woman.]

Is there not a saying about spring showers? Only good things can come from this one's behavior, don't you think?

[Richard closes his eyes in delight, before looking up to the sky where the clouds are brewing to unleash another spray of rain down over him. He really should be looking out for his health but he feels wonderful at the moment. Any time out in the city is a wonderful thing to him after all.]

Forgive my rudeness. [He nods his head.] My name is Richard.
