Bab 78: Battle of Egos

Sleep that night came with a plethora of thoughts nagging away at him.

"Home."

Rain poured again that night, pelted against the roof of the cave as the refreshing winds of precipitation soothed his skin, guiding him into a gentle sleep.

However, a restful embrace only met one of them, as Sirius waited for his companion to fall into slumber back adjusting his uniform, stepping out of the cavern into the light showers that shifted into a downpour.

"--You really tracked us down. Not a good use of time if you ask me."

Sirius called out to whoever was hiding within the drenched foliage, standing out in the open as water cascaded down his neat uniform.
