The cemetery was unlike most Aria had frequented, most were dark damp and full of headstones and crosses. Perfect breeding grounds for goblins and ghouls. Aria thought of the humor of vampires rising from the ground in those old black and white flicks. How wrong things could be and yet how close they came to hitting the truths.
The night air was cold and harsh against her skin despite the layers she had donned before leaving the house. The trench coat hiding her swords at her waist and the guns at her back. Hardly easy to get at, but it made for walking around with weapons much easier. Once never knew what one would find walking alone in the darkness. If only humans were the biggest threat.
It wasn't long before the solitude of the graveyard gave way to another sole walking the land of the dead. Aria could only pray that it was the care taker and that he would leave her alone.
Aria moved to to the next grave, wondering what the person had been famous for and why they merits such a monument. It was hard to sneak up on Aria, but the words from the man behind her made Aria jump despite the knowledge.
She didn't turn around. "Hi. Didn't think I'd meet anyone out here this late."
Aria ran hands down the front of the coat nervously. It was one thing to be brave alone in the dark, but with an unknown stranger in the mix. Aria could see many scenarios where this ended badly. She sighed and stuck her hands in her pockets and turned around.
Aria glanced behind her and took note of his position and his demeanor. She smiled softly under the thoughtful guise of being friendly. Aria tried not to feel anything from them, she had after all come here to be free of everyone else's baggage. She clamped her shields tighter and only focused on his voice and the monument in front of her. "Any idea why this one is here?"
It was only idle conversation. Aria really wanted to be alone, but if he was going to be here she could at least attempt to make him useful to her.
