[Oz is sitting at the beach in Sector One. It’s one of the first times he’s ventured out and about since that class about werewolves and how to kill them. Right now he’s sitting in the sand close to where the surf is coming in, his pants are rolled up so that the water just hits his feet and ankles before receding again. He’s leaning back on his palms, eyes closed, face turned up in spite of the overcast sky. He looks very calm, as always – very peaceful, as always. But also, as per usual, what’s on the outside doesn't always match what’s on the inside with Oz.

He’s enjoying the quiet and his solitude. But he won’t turn away anyone who might come across him.]

[ Before Marina, Aidan had never seen a beach. He's still not sure if this one counts but it's become a dear place to him — a place for awakenings and parties, for birthdays and sunburns that have yet to settle down on his freckled shoulders. It's a good place to breathe and these days, he needs to do that more than ever before.

That's why he's down here. To settle down and breathe and maybe push some annoying thoughts to the furthest, darkest corners of his mind. Company is always welcome though and when he spots Oz, he can't help but wander over. ]

Hey.

	[Oz and Aidan have formed the tentative beginnings of a friendship. It's those few times in the other's presence that make it easy for Oz to pin-point that scent that is uniquely Aidan before he makes it over to him. Sorry for the creepy scent thing. He looks up at just the same time as Aidan says hello.] Hey. Enjoying the cloudy skies, the beach, or both? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Sniffing is totally cool, unless they're playing hide and seek. He's got nothing to hide. ] Both, I guess. It's nice out here... peaceful. [ Which is a welcome thing indeed. ] I didn't mean to disturb you or nothin', just wanted to check in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Peaceful is what I was going for. [He nods toward the sand next to him.] You're not disturbing the peace if you wanna join. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-02 12:52 pm UTC (link)
	Sure... alright. If you're sure it's okay. [ A little awkward but he sits himself down, careful not to kick the sand. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-02 12:55 pm UTC (link)
	The water isn't too cold either. [He bends a knee, lifting his foot to then dig his toes down into the wet sand where the surf is rising and falling.] You doing okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-02 12:59 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... 'bout as okay as I can be. [ That's a no. ] How 'bout you? Haven't seen you around in a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-02 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	I make a great hermit. [He agrees since he's been keeping incommunicado for several days. But he also didn't miss that round-about no.] About okay as you can be in light of... what? Imprisonment aside. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-03 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	Well, uh... I can't remember if I told you but a while back, I woke up with all these extra memories in my head. From back home, y'know? I've had a hard time gettin' back into th' swing of things since then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-03 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	[That makes two different people aside from himself who woke up with more memories. He's glad to know he wasn't the only one.] Memories not of the good kind, I guess? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-03 04:49 pm UTC (link)
	Not great, no. I, uh... I signed up as a relief worker in a civil war. They were short on people and I needed to get off th' grid for a while. Ended up helpin' th' medics a lot. [ So, you know. There's that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-03 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	[He nods. Understanding getting off the grid for awhile. He's done it before. He did it again the past few days.] Are you a medic? A friend of mine, Helen, just opened a clinic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-03 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	Nah, nothin' like that. Most of th' time I just helped holdin' people down. Didn't exactly have a lot of pain killers out there. [ But plenty of amputations. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-03 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	Ouch. What was the civil war over? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-04 11:36 am UTC (link)
	I, uh... [ Well, this is awkward. ] I don't really know. I mean, I kind of know but they didn't go into details and I don't speak th' language. They just... they needed help and I could help 'em. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-06 01:18 pm UTC (link)
	Stellar choice, helping just because it was needed. [ He gives Aidan a sidelong look. He likes him. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-06 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	You think? [ Genuinely curious. Most people don't. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-08 09:32 am UTC (link)
	[ He nods. ] Oh yeah. I'm definitely pro helping, especially if there's a void that needs filling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-08 04:34 pm UTC (link)
	Not a lot of people think that way. 'Least not where I'm from... they think it's stupid or risky or somethin' to go out of your way to help someone else. Even more so when you're not gettin' anything out of it for yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-08 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	I think those people are everywhere. Luckily my world also has a lot of people who wanna help... people who can make things happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-08 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	That must be nice... I mean, it ain't like we didn't have any of 'em. They were just hard to find. [ And he was pretty gung-ho about it. ] There's a lot of 'em here too, I guess. Plenty of people going out of their way to help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-08 06:13 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, here could be worse. [ And he knows that. He keeps reminding himself of it lately. Over and over. ] As far as prisons and the people in them go, we have all the luck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-09 04:47 pm UTC (link)
	Agreed. Never thought prison could be like this... almost makes me wanna stay. [ Less almost and more definitely. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-10 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	It's reprieve-like. [ He nods, then sobers a bit. ] Makes me feel selfish. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
