Shade and Ray: Training in the rain

Shade, still tired as ever, awoke from his deep sleep, and Loran was next to him, lost on her dreamland. "Good God, hwo long was I out?" he asked himself. But before his mind could muster a time, he was up and dressed. Demonic speed had its uses after all. He checked the clock on the wall above the bed. 6:45 A.M. Time for coffee. He hoped to be the first in line to the pot of cafinated elixer.
