Welcome to Gaia! ::

There was something mind boggling about being in a cemetery. The thought of being with hundreds of people, if not more while at the same time being absolutely alone? It always gave Harker chills. Although, he was okay with that. He did wish there was some sort of... organization who was were and what not.. something. But then again even that had it's own unique charm. The hills, trees... Ugh. Big ones, small ones. He loved it all.

That was, until, it came down to looking for a specific marker and not having much to go off of.

He grumbled idly to himself. Checking every marker he came across. He'd already checked a large portion of area. Opting to skip anything that looked relatively new or far too old. A travesty in his opinion really, given the older ones always had character.

No. He was looking for something that wasn't essentially old, but not quite new...

Harker would know what he'd been looking for it he saw it. Even if he had yet to technically see it...

Don't ask him how he'd know. He'd just know.

He bit back an irritated groan, ducking a low tree branch before having to do a double take.

There, hidden in the shadows of tree branches was a small tombstone marker. How the ******** anyone expected anyone else to see it was a mystery and a marvel all at the same time. Though that certainly explains why he was having such issues locating it.... At least she wasn't forgotten in some corner.. Though hidden under a tree probably wasn't much better.

With a sigh, he knelt in front of the marker

Aderyn Baskerville

"Hello Aderyn..." Harker said softly. "Sorry I'm, so late. You wouldn't believe what I've been through..." Then again, had she actually been there, he might have had more to worry about. "I can't stay long. I'm suppose to be meeting a few people to help me move back into town. I just wanted to stop by and leave you these." He said, placing a small cluster of snowdrops and roses in front of the marker.

"I promise I'll stop by soon. I've got a bit to catch you up on with mom..." With any luck anyway. "I gotta go..."

The sudden noise caused Harker to tense. Of course he'd cross paths with someone... He wasn't sure why he expected to be in and out without seeing someone. But unfortunately he had.

"No." He said, standing. "She was a friend." Harker turned as if it leave but stopped when he saw just who it was that had found him.

Tristan. Aderyn's brother.

Oh how tired, he looked now. But, it was no longer his place to worry about things like that.

Harker sighed, shifting his position a bit awkwardly and adjusting the scarf around his neck to hide his mouth in it. "It appear's I have been forgotten though. I'll take my leave now... Excuse me." He mumbled, side stepping around Tristan.

His heart launched into his throat when his arm was grabbed. And for a few seconds Tristan was greeted with the look of pure terror before Harker schooled himself. Ah there it was...

"Hello p" Harker cut himself short, clearing his throat. He had no right to call him that anymore. "Tristan. Hello Tristan.."

"Ah.. Yeah. Just recently. Things with my.. my... Things just fell through out there." He waved a hand dismissively, trying to distract himself from the thought. "I'm not moving back in with Mom though. She's better off with who she's will right now." They didn't need to deal with Harker's issues.

"It's good to see you too." I've missed you... "How are you??? You look...tired."

"No. No. It's not you're fault... Just, surprised me... Is all. I don't handle surprises well.." He mumbled.

Harker blinked, stunned for a moment before speaking again. "...I'm not." Dad got what he'd deserved. Harker just wish it had happened sooner. "I'm better of here... I'll be better off here..." Maybe. Who knows. Maybe he was worse off here. He hadn't expected to run into Tristan so soon... if at all.

"That's good... Real good." He said awkwardly. "I imagine that's a lot." Probably best not to rush those things.

"I uh...run... own?" What was it it Jean had said again. "Uuuh.. A book store. I guess it's a little more then a book store?" Harker shrugged. A friend is moving me into the apartment above it.

Harker twitched awkwardly, suddenly unsure of what to do. "Uh... Did you want to see?"

This clearly wasn't a bad idea in the making... Nope. Not at all.

"Yes... Better..." Harker said with a sigh. "It will take a quite a bit... but I'll get there someday." He shifted awkwardly again, tightening the scarf as if he was cold.

Harker blinked slowly, seemingly collecting his thoughts. "It's... not your typical bookstore." He said, with a vague wave of his hand. "It's a bit..." Harker paused trying to find the word, but ultimately failed. "Well... You'll see when we get there." He mumbled. Though he did agree... They probably should talk, and talk somewhere just a tad less morbid..

Harker gestured to the grave. "Do what you came here for. I'll wait." He said, trying to hide a yawn. Thank god there was a coffee shop nearby...
