     “Gavrik, you are staring at me as if I am a stranger come to inform you that your family has just been killed in some terrible accident.” Was there something on his face or did he in fact just deliver such news------and then forget all about it? Last time he checked, his memory was perfectly intact, so he was certain the latter not the case.

@shadowvvitch​: “You okay?”

Alone on a Roof in the Woods | No longer accepting.

      "No.” 

      Brief and blunt,\. Ienzo leaned against a tree, not surprised Gavrill found them. At night, the woods felt different--an ambiance that kept them on edge, but quiet enough for them to stay calm. Well, as calm as they could. Evident by the shadows that swirled around their feet, and the sweat on their brow, something spooked them. Their bedroom in Radiant Garden only saw them for a few hours before they ran, finding a world they barely knew to ease their mind.

      Also a place where, in case someone found them, they could speak in their first language.

Lily had her face down in her folded arms on her desk. It was late, and there was still a small pile of paperwork to finish for the next day. She might have had it done sooner, if a certain other German hadn’t kept bothering her over every little thing about his day. As if he didn’t treat her poorly enough. She groaned out loud and swore at the desk. Just ten minutes. I’ll just rest my eyes for ten minutes, then I’ll get back to it.

Sometimes you chase shadows, and sometimes... Sometimes, they catch you.

The woods seem to shift around her, no longer the dream they had seemed before. Strange things wandered through the brush, though she had only come here to chase white bears. That should have been her first warning. She ought to have learned some time ago to never grow comfortable or walk too deeply in woods she could not call home.

Other things moved along the trees and roots, too. None of them bothered her overmuch, save the one she deemed the greatest. Whatever she did not see was to be dealt with first.
