Daisy Chains// [Romance] no longer accepting.

Tamesis, who had seen it all before, marvelled at the beauty for only a second. Then he started to walk towards four mounds at the edge of the trees. He knelt beside the nearest one, and looked down at the white stones he had placed as letters not so long ago. He felt tears well up in his eyes, but fought them back. As the names of his father, mother, sister and Charlotte bore up at him, he felt...lonely. They had all left him behind.

Alexis stopped her tapping in mid stance with her right hand thumb and ring finger on the bench and her other fingers in the air, considering his question before starting again tapping in the rhythm of her favourite song. "Anytime realy. Whenever you're ready I guess." She replied, watching her fingers play a imaginary piano.

[Harpy•]

Raquel soon opened her eyes to find Tamesis kneeling on the ground, beside large mounds...and her stomach immediately dropped to the bottom of her soul. She swallowed and moved forward quietly, coming to a standstill by Tamesis's side, and then slowly knelt beside him, looking at the mounds and white letters in shock. "Oh, no," she murmured, her voice lower then a whisper. She looked up at Tamesis, her eyes still wide, and suddenly pricking with tears. "I'm so sorry," she whispered, looking back at the mounds.

Damon nodded in speculation, then dried the dishes with a towel before turning to face Alexis. "So, about twenty minutes? I'll be ready by then," he said quietly, his own eyes drifting to where Alexis's slender, proportioned fingers were tapping the table.

Tamesis didn't respond, but just looked at the graves he had dug himself. He opened out his palms, face upwards, and looked down at them, until a single tear slpashed on his skin. "I didn't want to come here alone" he said softly, still looking at his palms.

Alexis rested her hand on the table, a small, good hearted laugh escaping her lips. "You take longer than me. I can wait that long. I think." She smirked at him, sliding off hr chair and standing up, leaning back against the bench, arms behind her with her fingers intwined together.

[Harpy•]

Raquel watched him, pain tearing at her own heart at the sight of his tears, and just wanting to take it away from him. With her own tears still welling up in her eyes, she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him, hugging him tightly and comfortingly. She could think of no words to say, and knew that any word spoken would be inadequate anyways. She just saw with him on the cool earth and hugged him, hoping that in some way, it would help.

Damon grinned at her laugh, then smirked, shrugging. "I'm not just packing myself...I'm leavin' this place for good," he said, jerking a thumb to the side, gesturing the rest of the house. "Too empty without other people around." He shrugged again, then chuckled, pushing away from the counter and heading down the hallway to his room. "You better be able to wait that long, 'cause we only have the Mustang, and you are not taking my baby out by yourself."

Tamesis dropped his palms as he felt her arms enclose him. He tensed for a moment, and then embraced her hug, wrapping his arms around her. He pressed his face into her shoulder, taking in her smell. He felt himself...untie. Like he was a knot. "Thank you" he murmered, "I'm so sorry for bringing this on you".

[Aғтɛя Ɩ Ғαℓℓ]

Alex's eyebrows shot up at the mention he was leaving. "Well, where else are you going?There's not much land for sale around here." She eyed the house and then tilted her head, looking out the corners of her eyes at him with one eyebrow raised. "Then again, it is pretty big. Must get lonely." Her own house was quite big, her Dad having been an architect but it didn't bother her. More space, more room to breathe. "Trust me on this one Damon, you can trust me with a car. But let me tell you, it'll look like a fly in the milk where I live. Even though where I live is just as nice as here."

[Harpy•]

Raquel shook her head fiercely before resting it on his shoulder, closing her eyes, squeezing them shut. "Don't be sorry," she said. "It's not your fault; how could I have known?" She pressed her lips together when her voice faltered on the last couple of words, hoping he hadn't noticed. She instead focused on not loosening her arms from around him, and then found herself thinking about how his arms wrapped around her as well, how his face pressed to her shoulder, fitting perfectly. She pressed her lips together again, steering her thoughts away from that and onto comforting him in his hour of need.

Damon chuckled, pausing in front his door. "A fly in the milk? Surely it'd be more attractive than that?" He grinned, then slipped into his room, poking his head out. "I have enougth money...I could rent a place somewhere away from here, somewhere different." He shrugged, then shut the door, opening his drawers and pulling out clothes to put on.

[Aғтɛя Ɩ Ғαℓℓ]

"Fine, umm lets just say the odd one out." She smirked at the way he had just; poked; his head out. "Somewhere different, I could live with that. Good luck finding one." She waited as he shut the door, looking around his house with curiousity.

{Does anyone feel like doing a time skip?}
