As pretty as a picture

Ravi walked down the stairs, he casually glanced at the kitchen to see some packets of noodles on the table.

Noodles were not bad for such rainy weather. Speaking of the rain, it has reduced a bit since a few minutes ago.

Too bad! He wanted to rain some more.

Ash was at the window, it was peering through it as if to see the person at the door. That would not work from that window, doesn't it know that?

He opened the door to face a tall, young man in a soaked dark blue uniform. The unrelenting rain fell between them, their eyes met silently.

The tall man smiled, "You should ask who it is before you open the door, especially at night." The voice was low and friendly.

Ravi felt his breathing become shaky as he closed his eyes, opening it a few seconds later, "Captain?" He muttered out loud. It was not as much of a question as it was an answer.

"En. Sorry for showing up unannounced."
