Notes
[attr="class","aramisworldmid"]
His heart was beating rhythmically, blood rushing through his bloodstream. A background drumbeat to the music thrumming through his ears. Rain, snow, wind or even a combination, every single early morning when the sun barely peeked through the trees and over the rooves. A shadowed morning where the cold hugged bare limbs, digging in, but fading the longer he ran. Everything in his body played in a rhythmic chorus with each movement of the body. The thud of his feet upon the concrete was a mechanism with consistency. Between each rotating step, the count would remain the same.
[break][break]
In and out, breath was taken as he traversed the block without a care. The morning routine meant the world to Aramis. These moments where his body worked as a singular, solid machine and upbeat music thrummed as a background base track to the enthralling sensation. After everything, these moments became blissful for the former officer. The report back in Ontario led to the forgoing of typical habits solely because of concerns over his safety. Even heading down to the local grocery store or buying Tim Hortons became impossible because of the nerves that wrought his body.
[break][break]
The constant passing of familiar vehicles with faces expressing contempt for his very existence; as though morals were an audacity. The morning jogging session became a way to clear his head. He undoubtedly needed it after everything that happened through those difficult days. Within his world, Aramis could reflect on everything and gain benefits in health. The man was focused forward when it happened. A loud honk startled him and threw everything off. Through the evening, it rained, a slicked concrete and startled steps failed to properly regain purchase. The jogger fell back into the grass with a soft 'oof' and his chest heaving from the incident.
[break][break]
He remembered when they honked outside his window, an idle threat and a check to verify if he was home. A long sigh escaped his lips as the vehicle rushed by and a cat lept startled over a fence. For a time, he breathed, allowing his body to settle. The music was paused and Aramis removed an earbud as he settled for a moment.
[break][break]
"Geez," he mumbled in an exhale, his body gradually settling.
[break][break]
There were no grievances to the driver. They were merely attempting to keep the cat safe by warning it. Alas, as his mind ceased racing with the realities of those eerie memories, he realized the wet grass soaked him. A sigh escaped him as Aramis came to terms with the situation. His shorts were soaked, his body was growing cold and there was half his jog to handle. Press forward or turn back, comfort would not be returning any time soon.

MONTHIt was early in the morning, and Arus was already out for his morning run. As the years have gone by, Arus had grown to appreciate the value of a routine. It allowed him to maximize the limited time anyone had in any given day. It may seem a bit monotone to most, but his life has only gotten easier to with the advent of the routine. He rose from his slumber at 6:00am, threw on some running gear and was out the door within five to ten minutes. He settled into a decent pace as he followed the dirt road from the teacher's residence, through the campus and off into neighborhood. As he made his way through the neighborhood, his mind started to race backward in time. He had gone backward to when he was just a senior at Panacea Academy. It was early in the morning, just like today, and at the time he was on the way to the athletics field. He was scheduled to have a bit for morning practice with the tennis coach. The plan was to work on his control of the ball with his backhand, but something else caught his attention. Standing outside of the Silverbranch dormitories was a girl with long black hair flowing down her back. She caught his eye because she wasn't just standing there doing nothing. She was staring straight ahead, paintbrush in one hand while the other was braced against an easel. She seemed to be painting the trees and how the rising sun was hitting them in the early morning. She looked to be lost in some trance and Arus was simply admiring her level of concentration when she broke away from the trees and glanced his way. She greeted him with a warm and wide smile. She waved over at him and was going to say something when the sound of a horn broke Arus's reverie. The sound pierced through the veil of his memories and hoisted him back to reality, where he immediately stopped running and glanced in the direction of the sound. He looked over in time to notice a car turning the corner. With a longer look he noticed a cat scurrying off to the other side of the road and he quickly surmised the situation. It was just someone trying to avoid harming a little creature. He mentally shrugged this aside and was about to settle back into his run, but stopped when he noticed a man on the grass by the street. He was a bit damp from the grass and Arus wondered for a moment could his assumption about the cat being the cause of the honking be wrong. A bit curious, he decided to jog on over to the man. He reached the man within a few seconds and inquired, "Hey, you alright? I didn't see what happened, but I heard it. You didn't get clipped did you" |

Hope you don't mind me saying Arus looks vaguely familiar to Aramis! Since Aramis does security at Panacea Academy, I figured it he may have seen him in passing. If it's an issue, just lemme know and I can remove it. ^-^
[attr="class","aramisworldmid"]
Breathing was all he needed to ease the spike in heart rate. Early hours tended to be peaceful, but there was always motion in life... People needed to head off for errands or work. Between the sounds of jostled trees were footsteps, Aramis' attention straying from his panic and toward the source. Somebody was around to witness the startled mess of a moment he ended up in. Already, the green-haired man felt the creeping sensation of embarrassment slinking over his shoulders. The sounds and his reaction made the situation seem worse than it was. Almost awkwardly panicked by someone seeing, or at least, hearing the car affair, Aramis picked himself up.
[break][break]
Extending the concern of somebody who happened across his momentary distress was unnecessary. Bad memories were not matters that required tending to. Everybody from those horrible nights was in a different province and he found himself safely in British Columbia. As the security guard spoke, his hands quickly began brushing off what debris he could manage. However, the wet spot would be something he could not handle until later to his chagrin.
[break][break]
"N-no! I'm fine, sorry," his words left in a hastened mess. "It just startled me... Guess I should have been paying more attention, eh?"
[break][break]
The green-haired security guard scratched the back of his head, an action of embarrassment as he gave an awkward smile. Getting startled by a honking vehicle to the point of falling into the grass was a little embarrassing... Tripping over oneself in fear was something Aramis thought was working out of his psyche after the RCMP training and duties. Not long after those words, his expression shifted, recalling the cat that was honked at. The incident was caused because the driver wanted to avoid hitting the small animals. A soft 'hmm' escaped Aramis before his eyes returned to the concerned citizen.
[break][break]
"Uh... I think it was okay, but did you see the cat? That's why there was a honk," Aramis explained, voice quieter than before. "I don't think the little guy was hit..."
[break][break]
The cat, a grey tabby, had been quick to scurry over and leap off the fence. There were no yelps of pain or something similar, but assuring the animal's safety mattered too... regardless of his uncomfortably soaked shorts... Between the fence and the dark-haired man, Aramis' golden eyes shifted before finally taking in the person in front of him. Dark hair and matching eyes of the same colour and... he was vaguely familiar. Visibly, there was little of particular note for the time, but regardless of his reaction... Aramis appreciated the stranger's attentiveness. If the worse had happened and he was clipped, knowing there was help was a relief.

AugustArus was relieved to hear the man tell him that he was fine and not hurt in any way. Outside of the dirt and muck he gained from falling into the grass, it looked like the man was doing just fine. He looked around for the cat that the man was talking about and spotted the cat jumping over a fence and avoiding the streets. Arus returned his gaze back over to the man, "I'm glad everything is alright. I thought you took quite the tumble." He glanced down at his wristwatch and checked the time. He figured he would be running a bit behind schedule now, but he couldn't be bothered by it much since he was checking on a human being after all. He wanted to continue his run, but he didn't think leaving someone behind when they could be flustered is a good idea. There was probably nothing wrong with the guy, but it would allow his mind to rest easy to ensure this guy made it back to his place. He started doing some mild stretches with his arms and neck for a bit before he looked back over at the man. He inquired on the guy, " Well, I think I should run along side you for a bit. Just to be sure nothing was wrong or if anything might happen to you." He paused for a moment and smirked as he extended his hand out, "I'm Arus by the way. I'm just trying to make sure you're all good and if you're cool with it, I can jog with you for a bit to make sure everything is really good before we go our separate ways." |

The stranger was benevolent, which Aramis greatly appreciated. People willing to take time out of their day to verify the health of others deserve to be commended... Yet, an awkward nervousness remained instilled in the security guard. Being an individual in need of assistance was somewhat odd to him... For years, back in Ontario, he fought against the waterfall to help people. To solve crimes and bring people closure while the negative work environment moved against him. A long exhale left him as Arus spoke again, the green-haired man nodding slowly in agreement.
[break][break]
"I appreciate that you came to check on me," the security guard responded, voice quiet, but levelled. "I hope the... incident? Yeah, incident, didn't interrupt what you were doing though."
[break][break]
Halfway home and soaked from dew, specks of mud and grass clinging to the wet fabric. The autumn breeze chilled through, nothing severe, but enough to prompt a shifting on legs. Moving muscles could generate warmth and gradually, Aramis wanted to return to motion, as though hoping to regain the warmth lost. Before he could move on, the dark-haired man surprised him and it showed. A gentle 'oh' left his lips when it was mentioned the man wished to run alongside him. Would it be too far out of the way? Either option would be fine since he was halfway through the morning jog.
[break][break]
Finally, at the introduction and reiteration, Aramis smiled and took the dark-haired man, Arus', hand. While the cool hair was giving a bit of a chill, giving Arus the option would feel right.
[break][break]
"Aramis," he said, returning the introduction. "And sure... I don't mind... But which way are you heading? Maybe we can make the routes overlap. I can go back the way I came or continue... I'm halfway through my jog anyway... I just don't want to... uproot your plans too much. It isn't your fault after all."
[break][break]
To give Arus an indication of direction, Aramis pointed. The green-haired man was merely going around the block to receive his daily exercise. As he waited for Arus to provide an answer, the security guard fished his phone from his pocket. The music was shut off, and Aramis grabbed the charging case for his headphones. They were promptly taken out of his ears and returned to the case and his pocket. Theoretically, they would be talking while they continued down the path.

MONTHArus gave the man a slight chuckle at his attempt on trying to pass off the fall as an incident. He understood it was an attempt to make light of the situation and overall the situation was very minute. After all, no one was hurt. Unless of course you counted the outfit of the green haired man, which ironically now probably would match with his hair color now. Arus was glad the guy decided to accept his offer of running or walking back together. He hasn't really had time to venture off campus much since he moved back to Panacea and he figured making acquaintance of anyone would be the right step forward for him. He followed Aramis in cutting off the music from his phone and placing his earbuds back into its case and letting it slide back into his sweat pant's pocket. His eyes followed the path Aramis's finger pointed towards and he was glad to see it was on his way back to campus as well. Without really wanting to wait around anymore and wasting time, Arus started walking and waited for Aramis to catch up before he answered him. "It's actually fortunate that we're heading in the same direction then. No uprooting is going to happen now, so let's just take it easy and make our way back." While o their walk, Arus was still looking around at all the houses and buildings along the road. His nostalgia was starting to run rampant, but he calmed it down by taking a deep breath and letting the conversation flow from him. "Honestly, it still sort of baffles me that this place has hardly changed since the last time I was here. I can still remember going for my morning runs down this very route, oh so long ago." A small smile stretched across his face as he turned his attention to Aramis, "So what is it that you do? Wisteria city has its wonders, but most people don't go running on this side of the city often. |

The dark-haired man's benevolence made the transition into companionship easier for Aramis. Embarrassment may linger around him, thick and weighing, it lifted from a lack of dwelling. Lingering on the darkened thoughts of his time in Ontario was unnecessary if they pushed beyond Aramis' stumble. Items properly stowed away, Aramis' focus shifted to the direction Arus decided. The former officer was quick to follow behind Arus, working on adjusting his pacing. He was unsure how much the dark-haired man pushed himself on these outings, thus, Aramis adjusted his to match his kindly acquaintance.
[break][break]
Training camps emphasized the importance of physical health for officers. While the occupation was a different vein, Aramis was determined to be a fit and capable security guard.
[break][break]
"Very fortunate. Glad I could continue then," Aramis answered with a broad smile.
[break][break]
Direction hardly mattered, but proceeding down the planned route removed any chance of the estimation being incorrect. Despite the soft chill of the breeze, exercise played a crucial part in his work and life. As they continued through the beautiful neighbourhood, Arus surprised Aramis, his eyes returning to him. The dark-haired man lived here and left? When the question arrived, the green-haired man answered a little differently, assuming his acquaintance would not mind.
[break][break]
"Wait, did you live here before and leave? Funny enough, same as here," Aramis began, leading into the answer to Arus' question. "My parents live in the area. I only came back to Wisteria City recently, and currently live with them. At the moment, I actually work at Panacea Academy, not as a teacher. A security guard."
[break][break]
There was always a slight pang of guilt for living with his parents despite the extenuating circumstances of his return... The threat to his life made leaving the province he moved to a necessity. The endless risks in staying outweighed the embarrassment of returning and moving back to his parents' home. Regardless, Aramis refused to lie about the situation, thus, he allowed his gaze to go wayward for a few brief moments. A glance away in slight embarrassment over the reality of his circumstance. He was mid-twenties and living with his parents... and it was not how he imagined his life panning out.

AugustArus wasn't too surprised Aramis was an employee of the academy. With how prestigious the school is and how prominent it is to the city of Wisteria, it wasn't too hard to believe that their employees were everywhere throughout the city. Honestly, it was a little bit of a mental relief for Arus. He wasn't exactly the social type of person, but he definitely probably would become a hermit if he couldn't find anyone in Wisteria to get him out of the house. Maybe this acquaintanceship with Aramis would be just the thing he needed to set up a foothold in this new chapter of his life. He nodded his head as a physical response for Aramis to know he was listening. "Oh, well thanks for keeping the academy grounds safe. I haven't had too much contact with the security team on the campus grounds, but I'm sure you guys are doing a fantastic job. I haven't really heard of or been in any incidents from when I was a student till not as an employee." He wanted to make sure he praised Aramis for his job. Being a teacher is a tough beat in the world, but being seen as a glorified "rent-a-cop" by the world can be a tenuous profession as well. He wasn't exactly innocent of this either. He remembered his time as a teenager at Panacea. He had several run-ins with security when it came to curfews and other delinquent actions. He has since grown out of those antics, mostly. "It must be kismet. I work for the academy as well, but I am a teacher. I'm one of the English teachers and this would be my first year teaching at the academy. Before this, I doubled in writing and ghost-wrote for a bunch of authors. I haven't published anything myself, yet, but I never had the time to sit down and work on a manuscript. My family's business keeps me too occupied to do much outside of what I've done currently. Hopefully, that is up for change. I've moved back out here to Wisteria and left the brunt of the business work to my older siblings as I choose to figure out the next chapter of my life." He paused for a brief moment, as they waited for a light to change at one of the intersections before crossing over to the other side. Once they were across and potential traffic accidents were no longer a threat, Arus continued speaking, "You mentioned your living situation. I'm not one to judge, but I think the idea of coming back to a place of comfort is something we all do. I mean, I came back. Panacea and Wisteria itself left such an indelible mark on my life that for some reason, when I needed a place to figure out what my next move in life is, here I am." He spoke the last part of his statement while lifting his arms up and trying to encapsulate the city around him. "This place was such a critical part of my evolution as a man, it just made sense to come back, you know?" |

Security work was a chosen profession given his experience as a law enforcement officer. The green-haired man was certain people appreciated his efforts. Most would appreciate it considering he was keeping the school safe from harm while others would grumble endlessly about authority figures... However, being immediately thanked for his efforts summoned surprise from the young man. Appreciation was unspoken, only properly stated once he finished processing a visitor or helping somebody who had a security concern. A gentle smile lit Aramis' face as Arus continued to speak, and additionally brought some enlightenment.
[break][break]
The man worked at the Academy, suggesting Aramis may have seen him in passing. It would not be the first time vague recognition managed to bring about confusion. The green-haired man gave a quick nod.
[break][break]
"We try, I just hope it is enough," he said, a content sigh escaping his lips.
[break][break]
The progression of the conversation led to further nodding along to show attention. An interesting life appeared led by Arus, one with artistic endeavours in writing, assisting in a business before settling into becoming an English teacher at Panacea Academy. Overviews were something Aramis avoided for the time being. A close encounter with being murdered by his fellow law enforcement was not something he was keen to detail, especially with the case pending. Speaking too much meant ruining prosecution if it managed to get far enough to ensure a court case. Thus, he merely allowed the man to talk.
[break][break]
As they reached the crossing, Aramis moved in place, refusing to cease the rhythm of his daily exercise. However, the notion of the next chapter was a notion he understood thoroughly.
[break][break]
"There's always one, eh? But it sounds like you have worked some interesting jobs. I used to be um... a member of the RCMP myself," he reciprocated the sharing, quieter than Arus.
[break][break]
His living situation was not particularly complex. After his parents heard about their son being shot, they leapt at the opportunity to return him home for his safety. There was a whimsicalness to Arus' explanation of things. Something poetic in some aspects when considering life and the world around him... The circumstances of Aramis' return were entirely unknown to him. The darkness of the situation was merely a blurring fog encompassing Aramis. Regardless, the security guard appreciated the sentiment and flashed a bittersweet smile.
[break][break]
"Yeah, you could say that. It's poetic to think about it that way," he answered, voice quiet. "I appreciate Wisteria for everything, and I imagine you do as well with how you speak."
[break][break]
Places raised people in a different, environmental sense. Wisteria City, for Aramis, was a representation of those days spent in innocent bliss. From back before he viewed the world's darkness firsthand and experienced it. There was an unbeatable sense of safety in Wisteria City, something that allowed him to feel relief finally.

MONTHArus lifted his head up and stared off into the distance. A smile lingering on his face as his mind quickly flashed through several moments of nostalgia. Words could not quantify the experiences he had while attending this school or being in this place. Everywhere he looked, everywhere he went, the energy leftover from memories of the past seemed to simply swelter up within him. These feelings he was experiencing was normal for anyone who came back to a place with this degree of cardinal feeling attached to it. Aramis's words rang true. It was poetic for him to be back here at Panacea, but also in the capacity of an educator. The teachers of Panacea were instrumental in helping him evolve over the years he spent here. He was a kid. Angry at the world and thought he was dealt an unfair hand, but he learned otherwise. The world wasn't out to get him. Each and every individual experiences life in a multitude of ways and each of those pathways is riddled with challenges. A crucible, some might say, of experiences that feel as if you are being persecuted by the world. It takes time for some to realize this isn't the case, but when you're that young it sure does feel like everything is out to get you. These tough times is what Arus wanted to address for his students. Being a teenager is hard. It is even harder when the child has no guidance, which is what convinced Arus to take the job at Panancea. He wanted to give back and help out the next generation of students through such a tumultuous time in their lives and maybe make a difference. Arus's eyes lingered on the horizon as the gates of the school came within view. He turned his head and gave the man a quick salute, "It was nice to meet you, Aramis. Circumstances of our meeting was a bit surreal and overall comedic, but I'm glad to meet someone I could speak with. We should keep in touch and check in with one another to make sure we survive watching over these children." He held out his hand for a handshake and in his other hand he reached out with his phone, "Almost forgot. Can't keep in touch if we don't exchange contact information."He waited for Aramis to enter his information before taking his phone back. He gave Aramis a quick saluting motion with his hand before starting down the pathway back to his residence on campus. |

Lemme know if this is a good ending point, I am assuming yes, but would rather be sure. <3
[attr="class","aramisworldmid"]
There was a semblance of peace as they walked down the sidewalks of Wisteria City's outskirts. After the abrupt startling honk, everything appeared to morph and calm. The cold still permeated through Aramis' clothes, but the discomfort was limited given the provided distraction. As they talked, Aramis noticed Arus's manner of speaking. There was something about the man's diction and phrasing that showed Arus' occupation. It was intriguing to listen to. Throughout Aramis' time in the RCMP, he noticed varying mannerisms and dictions that intrigued him. Even as their interaction closed, there was brimming with pleasant wording as the man spoke.
[break][break]
"It was nice to meet you too and sure," Aramis answered, more casually.
[break][break]
The offered hand was taken into his, and the security guard did not mind the professionalism of the action. There was little concern, handshakes having been subjected to those commonalities in his world. The offered phone raised brows, but confusion quickly shifted to a broad grin. With little effort, Aramis entered his contact information into the device before returning it to Arus.
[break][break]
"Hit me up any time," he spoke nonchalantly. "Have a safe rest of your walk."
[break][break]
The green-haired man answered with a nod to the half-way, returning it in a hand gesture. For a moment, he watched Arus leave, before jogging the remainder of the sidewalk and heading back home.
