Cari! I am here requesting #9 (Historic) and/or # 20 (Mist) for Flo!
"You got a word for this?" asked Guarno, pointing to the gray all around them.
Flo adjusted her life jacket to get some of the cool sea air under the bulky padding. "Whaduya mean, 'a word'?"
Bill waved his hand with a scowl. "In your language, do ya got word for the weather and stuff?"
"Like the mist?"
Bill nodded, and she thought for a moment. "'Awa," she said eventually. "That's mist or fog, but usually around mountains. Kualau is rain over the ocean. Lilinoe for the mists and rains around Hawai'i and Maui."
"You ain't got just one word?"
"No," Flo said with a small laugh, "we like to be more specific."
He nodded with an affirmative jut of his jaw, eyes scanning the blurred horizon. He spoke after a moment. "What about cloud?"
