Rin was sure he would have been invited inside for just a moment - or at least until the rain let up. He masked his disappointment fairly well in his opinion. It wasn't his friend that didn't want him near her home, it was the old people. "That's okay... I don't like lakes anyway." It was a flimsy excuse to save his pride, but it made him feel as if he had a choice in the matter.

However, what really gave him pause was the mention of her Uncle taking him home. As much as he would have liked the companionship, he didn't know her Uncle as well as he knew her. Rin didn't want to invite some stranger accidentally to his home, even though this Uncle guy was well loved by Adela. "I can go home by myself."
