It takes a funeral to make you feel alive

His blue eyes looked around as a knot began to form within his gut, shuddering lightly as another chill ran down his spine. This place was explainable and right now he was unsure whether he would want to come back here or not. He tried to distract himself, keep himself calm and looked to her. He tried to focus solely on what she was doing and not the odd feelings he was having right now about this eerie place. He watched her lay out the ingredients, tilt her head back, and listened to the words she said.

It must only be the first part of what she had to do as she began to dump the soil into the water of the alter. Lights began to flicker in the alter making his blue eyes widen and he looked around to see if anything would appear, expecting some spirit to appear or something. Her speaking again drew him back to her seeing how calm she seemed to be as performing this. The Lavender was next in being spread within the alter's water. Then Serene seemed to see something off to the side and he looked in that direction. He couldn't see the same that she did, but something had to be going right by the emotion she was showing.

Her mother must be in their presence and he was glad that things seemed to be working out so far. She continued on and finished up her ceremony. He wasn't sure what to say or do so he remained quiet until Serene was ready, giving her all the time she needed.

"Talk." & 'Think.'
