It is rain day. Okay, it’s not actually rain day. That was a thing in Reims, but they’re not there anymore. They should stay inside while it rains. That guy Mark even advised them to do it! But, Kamala struggles with the advice because it’s rain day. She feels like she is going to vibrate out of her skin. She is not sure she can take this until predictably she finds an excuse. Frank makes it easy as usual. He is setting a bad example for her to follow. How can she resist? She is supposed to be a rebellious teenager, after all. Rebelling against strangers is easy too.

Another help? There is mystery to solve. Flowers have been blooming all over since the storms started. She can’t help wanting to figure out the meaning of it. She spends every storm essentially following the trail of flowers for as long as she can. Of course, that can’t be all she does. Sure, she’s basically on a kid’s adventure that the children she used to hang out with in Reims would appreciate, but she is still living in a household. She wants to contribute if only to make her parents proud later when they’re reunited… and maybe tease Aamir a bit.

When the trail goes cold, Kamala opts to go borrow the fishing kit from the Inn and see what she can catch out  there. On other days, she goes picking peaches in the grove. They have an animal now. They have keep it fed, right? Plus it’s fun. That’s important too when you’re missing home. Along the way, she’s naturally collecting samples to study with what she can borrow to study them with… aka a magnifying glass so far at House Six and the Inn respectively. Look she will work this out even with limited resources. Just try not to judge her while she’s at it, okay?

The blue flowers are, for lack of better verbiage, electrifying. Maybe she's an idiot for going out in the middle of a thunderstorm but Jean suspects she's done stupider things in her life. Unplanned Space Travel is still going to beat out most everything for a while.

However, she's not the only one gathering flowers. After she figures out that the Blue Lilies give her to ability to zap things (no telepathy but, offense? Yes?) she gets a little single-minded until she sees someone else out there apparently doing what she's doing. Hmm.

"So I guess I'm not the only idiot who's outside in the rain, huh?"

Kamala isn't expecting anyone, but Frank, Owen, or maybe Jessica out here. They are the weirdos who still think of rain as safety from scary monsters. They roam freely during the rain. It's safe to say right now they are living their best lives. That's why she takes Jean's comment in stride.

She smiles, getting up from the flowers, and waves at Jean. "Hey! I prefer to think of it as being the one bold enough to uncover the secret of flowers. What about you?"

"I'm going to go with that because it was better than seeking a thrill because I've lost my identity," Jean says. She has a laugh, though, and the flowers are pretty even if gathering them is a little...dangerous.

"It's so weird to me that we don't have powers but we can touch one of these and boom - live wire."
