[ Ford is both fascinated and annoyed by the rain, for all of the usual reasons - research, the hindering thereof, and the distraction of a new oddity to investigate. He's not investigating now, though. As expected, the flooding outside has caused some flooding in the basement. Nothing the sump pump can't handle, but enough that Ford wants to get some more delicate projects onto higher shelves.
His timing is apparently pretty convenient, as the knock to the front door comes just as he swings the basement door shut behind him. He hustles over to it, alert and eager, thinking that maybe--
But no, he pulls open the door and Ozpin is there. Ford thinks he must be desperate to come to him - or maybe he thinks Oscar is here- but even just a brief glimpse past Ozpin shows that desperation is probably merited right now. And while the pettiest part of Ford wants to shut the door in his face without a word, the twins waking up (and having not yet delivered the news that they'll be leaving on a more permanent basis soon) has him in a pretty good mood. He still doesn't look happy, but his expression is tired rather than annoyed as he takes a step back and pulls the door. Inviting Ozpin in will be fine, especially since... ]
Willow is here, too.
[ Ford's not sure if they've spoken since they split, but their relationship seems to have survived the possession encounter. Ford doesn't get it and doesn't like it, but he can at least accept that it's true. ]
