Tom followed Heidi up, his senses analysing the architecture. He was impressed, he had to admit, it was much nicer than what they had in the village.

--------

Luke hugged Kira when she was freaking out, muttering reassuring words to her until it passed.

Heidi whistled quietly, rather impressed as well. "Sure as hell wasn't this nice when I was around," she commented, looking around, before frowning. "I suppose we should check the graveyard first..."

by Big Uri Sat Mar 17, 2012 11:26 am

Tom searched for gravestones, locking into the area where he felt them.

"Yeah, I found it," he replied, opening up the hole in the ground again.

"Alright," Heidi nodded, moving back into the tunnel. "Thanks Tom."

---

Kira slowly calmed down, hugging Luke back. "S-Sorry..." she stuttered, ashamed of herself for getting so scared over a little shaking and thunder.

by Big Uri Sat Mar 17, 2012 11:40 am

"No problem," Tom replied, vanishing back into his tunnel.

--------

Luke smiled comfortingly.

"You don't have to be sorry," he replied kindly.

Heidi fell quiet as the tunnel opened up in the graveyard. There weren't many graves, but she still felt like she was intruding. She mumbled a prayer under her breath, despite the fact that she wasn't a particularly religious person, and stepped out of the tunnel.

---

"O-Okay..." Kira mumbled, even though she didn't really agree with Luke. She was lucky that he put up with all her panic attacks and general stupidity.

by Big Uri Sat Mar 17, 2012 11:51 am

Tom remained respectfully silent. He himself didn't believe in God, but in this place, he could read the names on gravestones.

---------

"I'm glad it's over though," Luke remarked.

Heidi looked around, quickly spotting Mary's grave. She walked nearer to it, blinking back tears, before realizing that there was yet another gravestone positioned close to it. She stared at the second stone for a while, finding it somewhat eery to look at her own name on a gravestone.

---

Kira nodded slightly. "I...I th-thought w-we were..." she began, before trailing off, shuddering involuntarily.

by Big Uri Sat Mar 17, 2012 11:58 am

Tom had seen the name long before, his sight spreading through the gravestones, but wasn't sure what to say. Heidi tended not to react well to consolement, he found, and he himself wasn't much good with it.

--------

"Yeah?" Luke asked interestedly.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:06 pm

"Benji's name isn't here, right? He's probably okay, then," Heidi spoke up after a while, her voice quiet.

---

"I-I thought w-we w-were being b-bombed..." Kira admitted quietly, fidgeting nervously.

by Big Uri Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:07 pm

OOC: His name isn't, right?

---------

"Give me a second to check thoroughly, I'd hate to get a question like that wrong," Tom replied.

-------------

"I didn't know what was going on," Luke replied honestly.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:10 pm

OOC: Nah, they'd be buried as a family unit.

---

Heidi nodded, shoving her hands in her pockets.

---

"I...I w-wonder what h-happened..." Kira mumbled, frowning. Could it have been an earthquake? But that didn't explain the thunder, it wasn't even cloudy.

by Big Uri Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:12 pm

"Nope, he ain't here," Tom replied, a bit relieved.

------

"Me too, but at least on the bright side, it's over," Luke replied.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:16 pm

Heidi's face broke out in a smile. "So he's prob'ly alive!" she grinned, hugging Tom happily.

---

Kira nodded, smoothing out her dress. She hadn't felt any damage done to the forest, so that was good.

by Big Uri Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:18 pm

"Chances are," Tom replied, grinning and hugging her back. He had been worried there for a second.

---------

"No serious damage has been done, has it?" Luke asked, figuring Kira would know better than him.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:25 pm

"Let's go find him, then!" Heidi said happily, pulling away, before running over to one of the various flower beds, and picking a few flowers to put on Mary's grave. She kneeled in front of the grave, mumbling another prayer, before standing back up. "Okay, now let's go find him."

---

Kira shook her head, showing Luke her arms. There were a few small cuts here and there, but nothing too bad.

by Big Uri Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:27 pm

Luke had a worried look on his face, but he did nod.

"I s'pose it could've been a lot worse," he replied, looking on the bright side.

---------

"Alright then, any idea where he could be?" Tom asked.

by MrMissMrs Random Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:28 pm

"Yeah... but I don't think Heidi told him that. Otherwise he wouldn't have ran to the Illuminati when the village was attacked." Erika answered before raising an eyebrow at Eithne's comment.

"Tell me, are you in a relationship with Amelia?" Erika asked. "And if Nathan was so against it, I didn't exactly hear him come in when the preacher said "Speak now or forever hold your peace"."

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:31 pm

Kira smiled at Luke. "It d-doesn't even hurt, you shouldn't w-worry," she told him.

---

"Things have changed a lot..." Heidi trailed off, frowning. "I suppose we could ask someone, but that could be...messy," she laughed nervously.

by MrMissMrs Random Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:33 pm

Simon notcied the girl and quickly ran to her, giving her a protective hug. "I'm sorry for leaving you like that, it was very foolish."

by Big Uri Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:34 pm

"Oh good," Luke replied relievedly.

-----

"What with the gravestone? Yeah, probably would be. Do you have any friends that could keep a secret, or should we just go around town till we find something we recognise?" Tom asked.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:39 pm

Elena hugged Simon back, still shaking a little. "I th-thought the ground monster ate you!" she sniffled.

---

Heidi frowned. "Um, maybe? I've never really been good with people. Never had loads of friends," she shrugged. "Might be easier to look for someone I recognize...shouldn't be too hard..."

by Big Uri Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:40 pm

"Could be harder when we can't be seen ourselves," Tom pointed out.

by MrMissMrs Random Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:42 pm

"Sorry..." Simon apologized.

by quackers are yummylicious Sat Mar 17, 2012 12:45 pm

"You're the giant here, not me," Heidi poked Tom's arm, a joking tone in her voice.

---

Kira smiled at Luke. "You d-don't need to get worked up over a f-few cuts. It happens almost everyday."

---

Elena remained quiet for a few moments, before responding. "Y-You're forgiven..."
