*Not now, Little Kitten,* he said as he jumped beside her.  *For
now, I need you to hold my umbrella.*

        It might help to mention it's still raining at some point in the
first half since Mousse changes back.  I was starting to wonder up to the
part with the umbrella.

	I thought I'd made it clear in other sections that this was a 
_big_ storm.  More scene setting is no problem, though.

       Man-made thunder shook the night as he pulled the trigger of the
shotgun he'd hid up his sleeve.

        I've always considered Mousse to be the most likely to have a
shotgun, perhaps it would help to have him whip it out from a sleeve before
firing.  I hope for their sakes it's loaded with some good dragonslayer
material.

	I had to be careful here.  Mousse has waterproofed his robes, and 
Brook is holding an umbrella to keep his head dry, but he isn't wearing 
gloves.  If he'd stuck his hand out when he raised his arm, he would have 
gotten wet and transformed.
