Jacques De'Raizel

Yet another rainy day, a most boringly common occurrence in the part of England Jacques lived in, especially once one considered the season. As he sat there and watched as the heavy raindrops fell onto the windowpane with a sound that was almost too-loud for him to bear, he couldn't help but think that he hated the rain. Or, at least the sound of it. He rather liked the way it seemed to wash the world, in a sense.

"Prin." He spoke in a soft and commanding voice. He was never one to speak loudly. "Bring me the paperwork for today. Watching the rain is boring me." Give me something to block out that horrid sound. "Also, I desire Earl Grey for today's tea. I think a plain spongecake will also be sufficient for today's teatime."

While giving orders, he never once turned away or diverted his attention from the rain. Considering that the sound rather bothered him, it seemed to be a slightly contradicting action.
