Acrylics and Nightmares [Blu]

Henry Beaumont

Son of Aether

≋ While walking along the side of the lake, Henry stopped a moment to enjoy the silence and the crisp breeze, thrusting his hands in his pockets and closing his eyes a moment. He loved this time of year and enjoyed this kind of weather. It was comfortable, though maybe a bit too cold to go for a swim without the proper incentive. It was also a bit cloudier than he would have liked at first, but sure enough the sun broke through the clouds. He could feel the warmth of the sunlight on his face a moment before the sun darted behind the clouds once again. It continued to weave in and out from between the clouds as it often did on days like this.

To protect himself from the brisk weather, the boy wore a black NYU hoodie, something his mother had sent to him recently, as apparently his new step-father worked there as a professor of... something. It was zipped up a quarter of the way, making the white graphic tee he wore underneath visible. With that he wore dark jeans and his Nike high-tops; a casual ensemble for the chilly autumn day.

Henry's warm brown eyes opened once again, and suddenly he was no longer alone on the shore. A girl with long, tousled blond hair seemed to materialize before him. He had no idea how long she had been there, but she did not seem to notice him. Her back was to him, and she seemed to be painting the landscape before them. She also seemed kind of tense. He contemplated whether or not to alert her of his presence, but the last thing he wanted to do was startle her; cause her to mess up. He just kept quiet a moment and watched her paint, but pretty soon, he felt like a stalker. Henry ran a hand through his dark brown hair and shifted uncomfortably, unsure of what to do.
