A monster called grief [Ariel] Oct 30, 2015 12:15:29 GMT

Ariel was a bit amazed at how quickly her feelings changed - a few minutes ago she was all gloomy and brooding and now, blood was rushing through her veins and she was actually happy. Feelings are a weird thing, she concluded with a shrug. She watched Isaac as he ordered his caramel latte and piece of cake, noticing that he too was soaked, and his curly hair seemed even curlier what with it being wet and all. She subconsciously tucked some stray strands behind her ear, not sure why she felt a bit over-aware of herself. She was just relieved she didn't wear anything white.

The blonde shrugged when Isaac said he'd pay for himself; she didn't want to get into an argument about it - it was a gesture on her behalf and if he didn't want to take it, so be it. They weren't good enough friends (or on a date) for it to matter too much to her. "Okay," she said simply not getting bothered from it and then turned to the barrister, "I'll have a cafe mocha with a banana-chocolate chip muffin please" she fumbled in her bag for a moment to get her wallet, and paid the appropriate amount.

Ariel walked along the counter to where they were supposed to pick up their order. For a moment Ariel wasn't sure what to say so there was just silence. Ariel was comfortable with silence but she figured if they were going to drink together they should at least talk. She figured she had two options - either talk about serious, graveyard related stuff, or try a new topic. She opted for the latter since she was starting to feel happier (and she dared say he seemed so as well) and didn't want to bring down the mood again."So, do you go to Beacon Hills High?" she asked looking up at him. She thought he did - she thought she had seen him before already (and that would be the most logical explanation), but she was still new enough in town for it not to be rude to ask.

Isaac liked that Ariel just accepted the fact that he declined her offer to pay for him. He didn't care for the usual dancing back and forth over the question who was inviting who. Still, he hoped that she wasn't offended that he didn't accept her invitation. He was still not very good at socializing and didn't really know what people expected of others. He wasn't one for small talk, having learned early that he should only speak when he had something important to say. But some people felt uneasy about his long silences and would think him unfriendly or arrogant so he'd learned to sometimes fill those awkward stretches of time by saying something he thought his counterpart expected him to say.

The teenager smiled at the girl next to him as they were slowly shuffling down the line to get their order. There were so many different noises – the noise of the different machines being operated behind the counter, the jingling of a set of keys in someone's coat pocket, people laughing and typing away on their phones. And the smells! Of course the strongest ones were those of the different types of coffee; caramel and mocha and chocolate; the cookies and cakes and a faint smell of leather coming from the sofas randomly set inside the room. When he'd first been turned this cacophony of noise and all those smells crashing over him had driven him crazy and he'd believed his head was going to explode any second. But Derek, his alpha, had taught him to tune out those things that weren't important to him and only focus on what he needed to hear and smell. His heightened senses were bearable to him now and they came in handy every once in a while.

It didn't take too long until it was their turn to get what they'd asked for, Isaac was just about to answer Ariel's question when the barrister held out their cups and plates to them. “Yeah, I go to BHH. You too?”, he answered as he passed the girl's order on to her and then took his own. He looked around the room and then motioned over to a quiet corner close to one of the windows with a questioning look to Ariel.

Ariel was comfortable in silence, and it seemed that Isaac was as well. This made him more interesting to her (adding to the fact that there was something supernatural about him) and while she tried not to stare she did try to notice his movement and the way he held himself. He seemed relaxed, which Ariel was pleased to note - she didn't want him to be nervous around her. She cast her eyes downwards for a moment, flustered with herself that she seemed unable to stop thinking so analytically, but to her defense she reasoned that while he seemed like a nice enough guy, that wasn't all he was and she shouldn't - couldn't - forget that.

She smiled kindly at him when he handed her her order and when he answered that he also attended Beacon Hills High and asked her if she did as well she nodded and said, "Yeah, me too". She followed his gaze where he indicated towards a vacant table at a quiet corner near the window - a perfect spot. Ariel grinned at him and nodded as she lead the way towards the table and took a seat across from Isaac. She placed her steaming cup and muffin on the table and looked outside the window - the rain was still pouring, causing a steady drum-like rhythm to be heard when the drops hit the window. Ariel smiled happily - she loved this sort of weather (even when it got her soaked wet). She cupped her cup of coffee with both hands and took a warm sip, enjoying the flavor and savoring the warmth it spread when she gulped it down.

Ariel looked at Isaac once she placed down her cup. She wasn't entirely sure what to say next, especially since he seemed as comfortable in silence as she was. She didn't want to talk about why either of them was at the graveyard since that was both very personal and not a fun topic to have (and with a stranger nonetheless). She was actually more curious at the moment to see just how much comfortable he was in silence so she decided she would let him stir the conversation, and instead of asking him anything else she turned her attention to her muffin and took a bite from it - luckily it did not fail and while it was just a bit dry, its taste was excellent.

Isaac sat on the cozy leather sofa and looked out the window with a contented smile. The rain hitting the glass in front of him, combined with a few rays of sunlight still breaking through the clouds made little rainbows dance in front of his eyes. He smiled at Ariel and then cupped his mug of coffee with both hands, warming his cold fingers. He just nodded at Ariel's reply, stating that she also was a student at Beacon Hills High. Strangely, he didn't feel the need to say anything else. Usually, he always felt like he had to keep a conversation going when he was sitting with somebody. Feeling this pressure to say something that wasn't completely boring, like shallow words about the day's weather, was something that annoyed him and put him in a bad mood, ultimately resulting in him coming across as someone not very likeable.
He wasn't sure why he was comfortable sitting in silence with this girl he'd only just met. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that they'd already shared this moment when they had both been pretty low and in a bad place and maybe this connection didn't need a lot of words. Looking through the window, Isaac could even see the cemetery from where he was sitting and it even looked kind of beautiful. Still, he didn't think that he would go back anytime soon. He felt much closer to Allison when he spent time in her room or some place they had visited together anyway.

“So are you a Senior? I just can't think of any classes we have together.”, the teen said and put his cup down on the wooden table that stood between the two of them. The wood had this used look to it, Isaac wasn't sure if it actually came from years of use or if it was artificial. He ran his fingertips over the rough surface as he looked at the girl with a soft smile. His question probably sounded random, but he was genuinely wondering why he didn't remember Ariel from school. Sure, the facility had a few hundreds students, but if they were the same age, they probably should have met before, right?
