Cooper.

*A thick layer of fog had started to come in from the ocean, it had been approaching the house for a few hours, no Aaron in sight*

*The fog curls and twists outside the window, clinging to the foundations of the house. Rolling up onto the deck, bringing the smell of the sea with it*

[Cooper shivers and shuts the door behind him, careful not to let any of the curling fog into the house. He sniffs, burying his head into the neck of his jacket and tugging on a beanie, which his hair stuck out of at awkward angles.]

*The further away from the house Cooper got the denser the fog got, it was getting harder to see as he got closer to the beach.*

[Cooper grumbles at the experience of walking on sand again but he makes his way over to Aaron and stares at him for a moment before lying down next to him.]

*Aaron doesn't seem to register his presence at all, apart from the slight relaxation, that became evident across his whole body. His eyes are glossed over looking like the ocean on a foggy day, behind his glasses*

[Cooper sniffs slightly, the smell of the sea rolling over him in waves. Its oddly calming here, with the slow, moving tide and the still, fractured air.]

*Aaron's breathing was in time with whenever the tide hit the shore, he was truly one with the sea wasn't he?*

[Cooper blinks slowly at the thinning fog, calm despite his thunderous expression. When he tilts his head to look at Aaron he looks so relaxed, so at piece with this world they shared together.]

*Aaron is still for a minute letting the sand fall from the spaces in between his finger, he can't really tell where his eyes are looking, but they're starting to become brighter, longer completely glossed over by the grey of a foggy ocean*

[Cooper let's out a small sound of disgruntlement at what Aaron's voice sounds like, he knew it would happen however.]

*He's quiet for a minute staring off past Cooper, the fog lifting more*

[He stays quiet waiting for Aaron to finish.]

*He laughs slightly, well it was more of a huff*

Mmmm.. if you say so, love...

*He freezes for second as Cooper's warm lips touch the back of his icy hand. The fog finally dissipates completely, and Aaron's eyes returned to their bright blue colour*

[Cooper hums again, out of approval this time. He keeps Aaron's hand closed safely in his own, still pressed into his lips. He stays like that for a while before sighing.]

can I have your name?

That's a good start. Digging and burying things is a passion of mine as well, but that might be obvious.

I can respect it. Vic is a still a nice name to go by.

[At the meeting place sits a car, dark blue, large boot space, somewhat beat up but it looks highly dependable. Theres a man pacing around outside of it, he looks throughly pissed off]

"Hm?"

The other person stepped forward.

"Wonderful."

The two of them place their bags in the trunk and clamber into the backseat. Leo is glancing around, bouncing his leg, absolutely radiating nervous energy. Oliver places their hand on top of his.

[Cooper follows soon after, gesturing to the tall blond man sitting in the passengers seat before starting the car]

*The man turns his head, too face the two in the back, on the side of his neck and a little bit on his face is a patch of blue that's swirls at the edges, like fog*

”Yes. We’ve run into a bit of trouble with the boss, as you might call him.”

Eh never did like Bouchard..

"We shall.."

”As long as it isn’t doing paperwork… or cleaning increasingly difficult to clean shit…”

"Its farm work. Sheep mostly. We have fields of crops as well."

Oliver snickered, elbowing Leo playfully.

I mean we could use a herding dog.

”I don’t really care,”

*He shrugs*

Leo sighs, already leaning over to put his head on Oliver’s shoulder.

Of course! We could always use the extra help.

Leo smiles softly.

And we're happy to get ya away from Bouchard, we've offered to Silver multiple times...

Leo snickers

This one, would agree with you on that being a good idea.

"Any connection to the Institute is bad connection. Silver or otherwise."

"Mhm, and hes a pain in my ass."

“Fair enough.”

You alright there hunter?

”Yes!”

*He raises a brow, and fog starts to surround the outside of the car, soon, they're in a very blind can bleak place*

He seems to relax a little bit.
