Cecil went to the gardens front to go to his favorite spot in the entire school. The sunsets are particularly amazing and with the small lake in front of the docks. This was his place of silence and peace that he came to when things got a little to much for him to handle. His black locks of hair blew side to side in the light breeze which filled the air and his crimson red eyes looked out on the horizon where the sun was just about to go down.
(flashback)
"...afraid of his own shadow...."
(end)
"I wonder how he's doing." Cecil thought to himself with a deep sigh. He missed his roommate Vincent a lot and the room was much more lonely without his company.

The quietness of the garden was broken by the soft noise of footfalls, someone's shoes making making a quiet clack everytime the connected with the pathway. Pale blue eyes roamed over the gardens, taken in the familiarity of it all... And then a person. One he knew well. A half smile broke out onto the teen's lips.
Almost six months. That was how long the beserker walking toward Cecil had been gone. He hadn't even told him goodbye or mention it in the passing, something he was ashamed of now...
"Cecil."

Cecil knew that voice... that accent! It was... "Vincent?" he returned as he practically flipped to face his friend from the setting sun. His red eyes dimly lit up by the sound of his friends voice and the sun's brightness glowing within them. "Where've you been?" he added in the ironic meeting of the person which he was just thinking about.
Birds flew overhead as night fell and the windblown trees quieted their whistling and rustling in the breeze. The golden and blood red sky turned to a midnight blue within minutes of their greeting.

The teen who stood before him was indeed Vincent, though he looked slightly different than before. Already pale skin seemed to give off a white-ish glow like he had been inside alot, and his tall figure seemed lankier than before. The smile remained as the other turned to greet him, and the silver haired teen stepped forward to wards his roommate, one hand hidden in threnchcoat pocket and the other down by his side.
There was a short silence after the question was asked. "I went back home." He replied quietly, telling the truth, but not the whole. That was a discussion for a place away from prying eyes.
"I"m sorry I left in such a rush.'

Cecil had his hands in his own pockets. (Two of a kind, huh?) "Oh, well I'm glad you're back." Cecil replied with a serious nod. He had missed Vincent, but there was a lot going on besides this wonderful event. The boy's crimson orbs narrowed in a slightly sad way when he thoguht back on something, debating with himself on whether or not to tell Vincent or not. In way way though; it was half of his business anyways and on one hand, he had a right to know, but was it his responsibility to say anything?
"..You're not as good as a friend as you say you are....."
Cecil could tell that the other discussion on why he left wasn't appropriate at the moment and let it slide until they got back to their room or some place else. A small smile tugged at his lips as he remembered some of the adivce he had given him earlier on in the year. "You seem paler somehow." he added.

The smile on the silver haired teen's face became slightly fixed, and the happy light didn't seem to reach his pale blue eyes this time. Looking away from Cecil, the berserker clenched his hand around the silver cross he had, it's chain wrapped around his wrist. Figures he would notice that...
"I Probably am." He mused, looking out into the velvet night once more before turning back to his roommate. This conversation was going nowhere, it seemed. As much as he wanted to relay what happened to his friend...
"Let's go for a walk, I need to get re-introduced to the academy"

Cecil nodded and walked up closer to Vincent. "Right." he answered with a slight shrug and a small grin. Where should he start? It's been so long since he had seen his friend that beginning where they left off would be a little hard- though with their luck, it wouldn't matter much anyhow. "So," Cecil started up after a few minutes of silence, "how've you been, since its been around six months since I've last seen you."

Vincent matched his strides to the other boy's not watching him as he spoke, but at the scene around them. It seemed almost like paradice after confinement. "Well..." He started slowly, reaching up to push bangs out of his eyes. Hm, what to say. "I have had worse moments in my life."
A slight smile touched his face again at his own choice of words. It wasn't exactly true... He would tell Cecil the whole story later.
"And yourself?"

Now was the time to decide whether he should tell Vincent or not. After what's been going on, how would his friend take the news? It was such a confusing subject, he had to avoid it at all costs til he knew it was the right time to say. "Not much," he replied in that famous impassive tone he carries, "many adventures, lots of training, countless infirmary visits.... but not much." He chose to joke around at least a little, even if it wasn't hinted in his voice. He'd hold off the news with Dali until later that night.

Vincent caught the barely joking tone, causing a ghostly smile to cross his face. Cecil was holding back as well. There would be an interesting story swap soon... The berserker stopped suddenly again and turned to look at the other boy.
"I think we should continue this conversation in our dorm... That is, if i'm still your roommate?"

Cecil nodded. "Of course you are. You were only gone for a while. I mean- they can't kick you out unless you leave for good." he said. "Besides, I hd to tell them to hold off until next year before they got another person in the room...though it wouldn't be the same." He gave a shrug and they went to their dorm room... the way it was when they left it.
