Clivius blinked, a little surprised. Oh, so she didn't own the clearing? But... didn't she live nearby? Or did she normally trek through the woods like he had? Fighting down these curious and invasive questions, Clivius smiled and let out a soft sigh, nodding his head. "It's almost like it's closer to the sky..." he murmured, glancing up at the stars, which reflected slightly off of his glasses. He paused for a beat, then chuckled, his nose wrinkling slightly in embarrassment. "O-of course that's silly, I just mean... it's nice to imagine it that way, I suppose."



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair



"Tomorrow will be a good day."

Freylan watched Clivius as he spoke, not helping the small smile growing on her face as he spoke. A small laugh escaped her, though it sounded more like a rush of air, and she looked back up at the bright stars. "N-no, it's not silly... I-I mean... we're up higher on the mountain, s-so..." Freylan trailed off, looking down at her hands in her laps. "I-I like being closer to the stars," she murmured, smiling down at her fingertips. Her chest was warm. It had been so long since she had last laughed with another person, or even had a simple conversation with this. His words had made her so happy, somehow, it was like it was a type of magic.

Clivius' eyelashes fluttered slightly in surprise at her agreeing with him, and he flushed in spite of himself, a small laugh escaping him. "Mm... yes, you're right... it feels like time stands still up here," he murmured, turning his face back up to the stars, then back at her. From the distance between them, he couldn't really get a good look at her, but he could see she was smiling. Chest warming at this realization, he cleared his throat softly and offered her a gentle smile. "Would you... um..." Clivius trailed off for a moment, before summoning his courage and squaring his shoulders a little. "Tomorrow, I-I can bring the telescope again. Would you like to use it? I-I think... I think I can bring it..."



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears

Freylan peeked over at Clivius's smile, her own heart beginning to flutter like a bird in her chest. Clivius had a nice smile... She blinked as he began to speak, noting the change in his demeanor, a little puzzled. Freylan was silent for a moment, then she looked down at her hands, bobbing her head up and down. "O-oh, y-yes please...!" she managed to get out, her voice breathless with excitement. She'd be able to get a good look at the sky again! Last time had been too short, and she hadn't had any time to see anything. Happiness welled up inside of her, making her bounce slightly, full of restless energy. She brought a hand to brush some stray hairs out of her face, unable to hold back her smile. "I'd really--really like that..."

Clivius' eyes went wide at her response, his heart thudding like a soft drum in his chest. Oh, that smile... Clivius felt as though his heart would burst out of his chest at the warmth that sprang up in him, so foreign that it almost took his breath away. "Um!" he suddenly found himself speaking, a smile plastering over his face as he took a small step closer. "I'll... I'll also bring something warm for us to eat, as well, tomorrow night. It's so cold out, lately, that... that would be good... do you like soup?" he asked tentatively, the bravery trickling out of him as a gust of wind buffeted him around and he drew his cloak around himself better, barely raising his voice above the sudden wind. "Or something else? I-I'd be happy to bring anything!"

Freylan's eyes widened at Clivius's proposal, and she sat for a moment, a little shocked by it. He was being so nice; he really didn't need to go that far. She wasn't sure if she could even eat human food. And what was this... soop? After a moment's hesitation, Freylan bobbed her head up and down. She had been having so much fun, she had forgotten that Clivius didn't know her secret. Suddenly, the clearing grew a little chillier, and she wrapped her clock around her tight. "Th-that's very kind of you," she murmured, looking down at her feet. There was a long pause, then Freylan glanced up at the sky, the pinpricks of light staring back down at her, as if exposing her lies. She shouldn't be here, with this human, taking advantage of his kindness and ignorance. Any more, and she would be taking advantage of more than just that. Slowly, Freylan stood up, glancing towards Clivius. "U-um... I-I should go..."

Clivius blinked at her sudden words, almost not hearing them over the whistling wind, and he walked just a bit closer before the words finally registered and he stopped. "Oh," he murmured, his smile falling, before he nodded, his eyes softening. "Yes, yes... i-it's terribly cold out here, goodness! I've kept you out here blabbering like I do. I'm terribly sorry; um... h-have a safe trip back home!" he called as an afterthought, his cheeks warming in embarrassment at his own awkwardness. He hadn't the slightest idea how to speak to a woman beyond simple pleasantries, and such a pretty one made it even more difficult. Wait, had he just thought that? Flushing, Clivius cleared his throat, angling his face away from her so she wouldn't see. "I-it was nice to see you again, Freylan..."

Freylan halted, a little overwhelmed by Clivius's wave of kind words. She made a small sound, unable to suppress the smile on her face, and she bobbed her head, her hands reaching to pull her hood over her face better. He definitely mustn't see her face, not like this. "Y-yes," she replied, not realizing how quiet her voice was in the wind. It had been so long since she had really spoken with another being. "Y-you... be careful, too, going down the mountain..." Peeking out from underneath her hood, Freylan glanced at his face, meeting his eyes, her heart skipping fast in her chest. Flushing for a reason unknown to herself, Freylan backed away, then disappeared into the dark forest.

"Oh--" Clivius cut off as a howl of wind swallowed up his words, but he'd heard hers loud and clear. He was always careful, going up and down the mountain... but this time, he would be extra careful. Beaming softly to himself, Clivius stared at the waving grass for a moment before gathering himself mentally and walking back the way he came, a tiny spring in his step despite the freezing air making his toes and fingertips numb.

By the time he'd reached the bottom of the mountain, the sky was beginning to fade from black to dusky orange with sunrise. He'd been out all night... and exhaustion was starting to creep in. The light feeling that Freylan had given to him could only go so far before the cold was seeping into his bones and the town was so dull and quiet around him. Clivius stepped onto the porch of the old church that his father and him made their home in, and stamped the dirt off his boots before opening the door--always unlocked--as quietly as he could.

Only to encounter his father humming to himself as he set up the communion table with ornaments. Sylvester stopped short and blinked, turning light grey eyes onto Clivius, his face breaking into a soft smile. "Clivius! There you are; I was worried sick," he murmured, abandoning his task to rush over to his taller son, reaching up to feel his cheeks, forehead, hands. "You're about frozen half to death; let's get you something to drink," he murmured. Clivius was far too exhausted not to comply, and he followed the tug of his father's hand to the back of the sanctuary and through a door that led up to an upstairs floor that served as their shared house. "What were you doing out all night?" he asked after a long moment of silence, his voice holding far less of the cheeriness from before, now only solemn.

Clivius blinked, so taken aback by the sudden question that he'd forgotten how much he was dreading it--and forgotten how to lie. "The woods, father," he mumbled, then blinked, clearing his throat. "I just... wanted to walk. I got a bit lost in thought, I suppose... wanted to clear my head, and all that." Clivius was sat down on the edge of his own bed, watching Sylvester bustle around until a hot cup of tea was produced and placed into his chilled hands.

"Mm. Well, a clear head won't do you much good if you've got pneumonia. Now drink up."



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears

The next day was a blur of impatience for Freylan. She managed to catnap through most of it, but something just wouldn't let her go to sleep. She told herself that it was because there weren't any clouds blocking the sun, not because of the strange fluttering in her body whenever she thought of the dark-haired human she had befriended. Yes... Freylan supposed she was friends with Clivius. There really wasn't any other way to describe it, was there? Freylan hadn't enjoyed spending time with another being so much before. Maybe it had been too long since she had really socialized, though vampires weren't meant to be too social. But Freylan really did enjoy Clivius's company. He liked the stars just as much as she did, and he didn't try to pry. And his smile was so nice... just thinking about it made Freylan was to smile, too.

So when twilight finally fell, Freylan quickly wrapped her cloak around her and made her way through the woods. She was a bit early; the stars weren't even properly out yet, but she wanted to be the first one there, this time. Clivius had promised to bring his telescope, after all. That must be the reason her feet were moving so quickly, and her heart refused to calm down. Freylan paused at the edge of the clearing, glancing around, then carefully made her way to the small rock in the center, and sat down. Her hood slipped slightly, revealing blonde strands of hair and her pale skin, as she turned her face to the sky, watching the colors fade from rosy orange to deep, dusky purples and midnight blues, the stars beginning to twinkle like pinpoints in a map.

Admittedly, it had taken Clivius a fair amount of time to lug the basket holding a small pot of soup, and the telescope, and a rolled up blanket all the way up the mountainside. He'd left when the sun was still up, but now, it was well past twilight. He puffed his way up the mountain, his face flushed from the chilly night, though it was far more mild than it had been the previous one. The weather was just all over the place recently...

Finally after what felt like an eternity, Clivius reached the clearing with a heavy sigh of relief, and blinked as he saw she was already there. "Ah, hello!" he called softly, his glasses slipped down to the tip of his nose with his hands full. He carefully picked his way over to her and gently set down the basket and blanket, then stood the telescope up. "I'm sorry I'm a bit late; I underestimated how heavy all this could be," he chuckled.

Jumping about a foot in the air at Clivius's sudden appearance, Freylan stared at Clivius with wide eyes, her face more visible than normal because her hood had slipped away slightly. Blinking rapidly, Freylan tried to recover herself, flushing with embarrassment, and she quickly ducked her head, her hands flying to her hood to tug it firmly back over her face. "H-hello!" She squeaked, attempting to cover over her weird reaction. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Clivius's feet, and the telescope and thermos. "I-it's alright... It––it isn't that dark yet, a-anyway..."

Clivius tensed as he realized he'd frightened her, and he quickly made his movements a little softer, as if trying to make himself look less tall and threatening. His eyes had widened slightly as he noticed her hood was down, and the small glimpse of her face that he'd gotten before she tugged it back on had made his heart flutter like a trapped bird in his chest. Oh, he was hopeless, wasn't he... Clivius smiled a crooked smile, clearly a little flustered. "Mm, y-yeah... I just made it, huh," he chuckled, a small grin painting over his face as he clicked the legs of the telescope into place. "There we go. Now..." he began, reaching down to get the blanket with a soft grunt, then unfurled it on the grass, his cheeks pink. Maybe this was too much... "I-I thought we could sit on this, just... just in case it got dewey, or terribly cold... I-I don't know. I suppose it's a little like a picnic, haha, um..."

Freylan's hands slowly moved away from her hood as Clivius spoke, and she stared at the blanket for a moment. One hand brushed against the soft wool, and she smiled softly. "M-my family used to go on picnics, when I was young. Th-that's how I first learned the constellations..." Freylan trailed off, then carefully scooted onto the blanket, drawing her skirts up around her legs. She looked at the telescope, then at Clivius, her body trembling slightly with excitement. "U-um, may I look...?"

Clivius was bending down to smooth out the blanket a bit, and he sat down on it with a smile. "Oh, that sounds wonderful," Clivius murmured, inwardly a little bit jealous. He'd only recently become acquainted with the stars, and his father hardly approved, so he had to teach himself. Even so, it was a delightful thought, to think of a smaller version of Freylan--if such a thing were possible--staring wide eyed at the sky as her parents told her about the constellations. The thought warmed his heart, and he blinked at her question, smiling and nodding. "Absolutely. You just turn the knob on the side to change the focus until it looks clear."
