TAKE ME TO CHURCH
i worship like a dog
at the shrine of your lies
i'll tell you my sins and
you can sharpen your knife
offer me that deathless death
good god let me give you my life Moving to Shara had been a spur of the moment decision, and there were days that Erik found that he rather hated the decision. Out of all of the places he could have ended up in, he just had to pick the city with barely a cent to its name. Wrong, actually. It seemed that the poor were incredibly poor, and the rich were filthy rich - though he'd happily accept being wrong if it were the case. He'd made a deal with a shop keeper some time ago that he'd grow some seeds into fully grown flowers, if he could keep a few for later. Later had come, and the flowers weren't going to possibly grow any more than they were already. After spending quite a long time trying to actually find the shop, when he finally arrived, though, it seemed as though the shopkeeper was busy. Instead, he chose to poke around, look through the wares even if he wasn't ever going to have enough money to actually buy anything. Without thinking, he spoke to the person whom ended up next to him - Erik figured he must have simply walked too close. "Interesting little place, isn't it?"STEFAN FINLEY, here u go friend. |

| stefan didn't like old town. he rather hated looking at it, actually. not in the way that nobles would turn up their noses at grime, but in the sense that it represented a part where shara's vision did not touch the people. it's not often that he gave his opinion to his superiors, but stefan often wished that the capital would extend its eyes down to its roots.
sometimes he wonders who he would look like if he hadn't perfected the stern line along his jaw and the temperance in his eyes. would he be selling fruit by the stalls or reading the daily sermon in the churches? he doesn't know. he just does not wish to be this world's burden.
but that will never be. he gave up his right to shara a long time ago.
gardening is constructive. plants contribute to their environment's vitality simply for existing. if only human existences were so certain.
his fingers ghost over the packages of seeds that he can afford several times over. their corners are slightly fuzzed, but when stefan unfolds the flap, he can tell that none of the seeds have been crushed.
a man speaks, but stefan does not turn. "i don't work here, you know."
except he does. he works in every inch of sharan territory. he does not smile at his own private joke. not anymore.

He can't stop the muscles tensing in his body when he registers who the voice is from. There's a brief moment, when time really does feel like it's come to a stand-still, and it's all Erik can do to close his eyes and silently count to himself. Calm. He's certain his mind is simply playing more tricks, it's the only thing that makes sense. He left the desert, miraculously, and he wasn't meant to meet this fate so soon. Too soon. It's a projection, a hallucination. But when he turns his head, a questionable smile on his face to cover the suddenly faster beat of his heart, he realizes that is not the case. He doesn't know the man's name, but he's seen him before. It's the monster hunter, his champion, and he is here to finish the job. Except, instead of piercing Erik's heart for sure this time, he's looking at seeds. Is he toying with him? Is this a test? Is he really this cruel? Erik clears his throat. "I'm aware." Somehow, his voice stays steady. It doesn't give way to fear, stays completely even as he even manages to give the man a grin. "I wouldn't plant those right now." He pauses for a moment, mind skidding to a halt. He can do this. "They wouldn't make it through the season."Just a normal chat, a moment he's clearly been anticipating. It is time to trick the man into thinking he is still dead. STEFAN FINLEY, bye post template srry not srry. also im r l y sorry its long redox but i had too bc wow erik feelings. |

| the world goes on. stefan had learned that a long time ago. it gives him comfort in the spaces where he can find none.
"can i help you find anything?" the little girl's voice comes from behind him, from a lower height than what he's used to. "no. i already know what i want." out of the corner of his eye, he can see her nod slightly. she leaves to attend to someone else.
"every farmer would know that preparations take place the season before, and not the first day of spring." stefan takes three of a different packet. "but you're no farmer." if he was, then he would be requesting seeds in bulk at the front counter instead of mulling over packets in the back with stefan. deflecting questions is the specialty of any decent spy.

the girl's voice from behind the counter causes erik to jump, and he can't keep himself from heaving a sigh when he realizes that she is not talking to him. just to the more-monster-than-man next to him. his mind refuses to stop reeling, as if it's a good idea to carry on a pleasant conversation with the man who tried to kill him all those years ago. "no, i'm not." he bites his lip, busies himself with looking at more seeds. "never been settled down long enough to try." a farmer would be a nice profession, and probably the only thing he'd ever be good at. "i, uh, garden, actually." he reaches up and scratches the back of his head - a nervous habit. "it's kind of relaxing." faintly, he realizes he's beginning to babble. he hopes that Stefan just turns and walks away. STEFAN FINLEY |

| stefan isn't an amateur, though it didn't take a professional to read the mood here.
"what's making you nervous?"
he puts his hand on erik's shoulder, an intentional invasion of his privacy. it's not a comforting touch. stefan doesn't know how to perform those, even if he tried.
"there's nothing to be afraid of here." except for stefan, really. but nobody's been able to discern the half-dozen knives hidden in his coat or the faint smell of gunpowder that he just hasn't had the time to wash off today. not unless they were that good. "i suppose it's good that gardening is relaxing for you, then."
