Jumping and letting out a stream of foul language under her breath, Aura brushed her dreads out of her face and put on her own saintly smile, "Why, goodness!" She answered, "It's just a little sprain.. But I supppose I wouldn't mind some company as I sit and favour my ankle for awhile." Twitching her nose she studied the handsome boy, Something is familiar about him, she thought to herself, I can't place what though. Shrugging it off as deja vu she patted the shed beside her.

He tok a seat in frnt of her instead, gently taking her foot in his hands, fingertips kneading into the ankle, softly, massaging. He made sure to help position her dress to maintain her dignity, and, always, kept his emerald eyes on her face, politely.
"It would be my pleasure to be graced with your presence, Miss . . . ."
He trailed off, tilting his head just so, sending a lock of pineneedle-colored hair over his eyes.

Trying not to die laughing, Aura placed her hands in her lap and nodded politely, this was different from Tairo's niceness but she'd play along... she needed friends. Looking the beautiful boy in the eyes she held on to them with a penetrating look. "Thank you," she said softly, "for both the help with my clumsy misstep and the compliment." Brushing her hair out her face she allowed herself to blush a soft rose color.

He smirked, softly, tilting his head the opposite way, s he set her leg down, almost tenderly. He brushed the hair out of his eyes, murmuring,
"Is there something funny, Miss? I'm afraid I mist have missed out on the joke."

Shaking her head some baby's breath fell loose from her crown of roses, brushing some of the petals off of her face Aura wrinkled her nose in playfulness. "I'm afraid you have, I apologise," she responded back to his murmering with, "I've never really been helped or paid attention to before and now it seems attention can't help but find it's way to me."

He smiled and nodded, standing up and stretching, languidly. He held a hand out to help her up, smiling in a warm, wry way.
"I don't elieve I've introduced myself properly. My name is Lucius Quinn. May I be so bold as to ask yours, Miss?"

Taking Lucius' offered hand and standing up, Aura dusted herself off and did a small curtsy. Stumbling slightly from the attempt she laughed deeply as her eyes twinkled. "Well, Lucius Quinn. I suppose I can tell you that my name is Aurora." Stepping tentatively closer to her new friend she placed her hand on his arm gently in thanks, nodding as she did so.

He slipped an arm around her wist in a purely supportive gesture, from her injured ankle and murmured, softly, nodding lightly,
"Aurora. As the aurora borealis. Stunning, just like their namesake. So, Miss Aurora, have you been here long? You don't seem to have frequented this type of place much. Then again, a flower like you has no place in graveyards."

Aura leaned against Lucius, more tired than she should have been for such a small injury. Sighing deeply she looked back, almost hoping that Tairo would have of followed her. Yet, at the same time, she didn't want him around just now. Breathing out another thank you she smiled up at the sky and then down to the tall boy holding her up. "Heading somewhere, sir?"

He shook his head, lightly, guiding her about the walkway among the tombs..
"Not at all. Just taking the lovely creature who's grace me wih her presence for a stroll in the moonlight. Un;ess you need to be heading home . . . ?"
He noted her seeming to almost be lookign for someone.

Putting Tairo and his love away for a little while couldn't hurt, so that's what Aura did. Siphening it off from the rest of her she smiled broadly at Lucius, "Why Lucius Quinn," she said in her best southern drawl, "I do declare that to be a grand idea." Balancing herself with a hand on his shoulder, his arm around her waist, she allowed him to walk her where he wished.

He laughed softly, amused by the sudden accent and tightened his arm around her waist, gingerly.
"If you'd rather sit, there's a gazebo on this side with a lovely view. Not of the boneyard, or the hills below, at least on the side the benches are facing, there aren't any marked graves. I'd imaging it looves almost a exquisite as you do by moonlight."

Aura stiffened at the tighter hold around her but blushed all the same. Following his gaze and trying to picture in her mind the beauty of unmarked graves by night she smiled softly and relaxed. She had the makings of a song in her head starting, and started to hum softly the main melody; making it slow and mournful. Turning her head to Lucius she closed her eyes in total openess and kissed his cheek gently. "I'm sure it will be marvelous."

He paused and caught her cheek, gently, turnign o catch her lips, just a brush, before she could turn her face away, then smile, lazily, nodding over their side.
"Take a look."
Apparently, by unmarked graves, he'd meant mere feild. There was notign bu rolling grrn gress, down into woods, sweeping away from the boneyard. He, however, kept his eyes fixed on her.
"Absolutely stunning."

Aura's breath caught in her throat, both from the soft kiss and by how amazing the feild looked. Finally able to empty her lungs she blinked to clear her eyes, "Am what I'm seeing real," she gasped out in question. Tightening her hold on Lucius she started to make her way to the gazebo, sliding her hand from his shoulder to his hand.
