..And when the woman turned there he would be. A towering gentle giant with a long arm out for her taking. He hadn't meant to arrive and stay so still and ghastly, as though he were another tombstone himself, offering quiet eyes to her pain. But her hunched over frame so legions of that weight upon her and it raked at him, for he had always regarded this Fae as one of the sweeter notes to this land and it's regions. A spirit true and kind and genuine. He hoped from his black jacket his hand would be warm and his eyes not those of a stranger's.

The last he had seen of her was clear in his mind, as his eyes ran across her ocean blue locks. The last he had seen her they had been of ink, dark and in lushcious waves, framing that divine little face. She was so elemental, so feminine, so dastardly female, and though even as a distant friend he could appreciate her nuances, and could understand how Skyler, who albeit had not taken to Bernie so kindly for whatever reason that had been, would find her enchanting.

"Jewell", the gentleman offered, wincing a smile and extending his other arm. His coat whipped and flared about him. Descended dark angel.

Yes, he did remember that last encounter. His thinking then and now on her nature. He had plucked from his mouth a seemingly endless scarf of myriad colours and she had worn it gratefully. It had accented her colourful spirit, alive and vivacious. As vibrant she stirred as this blue shade to her hair, that he had never seen.

"I am here"

Out of nowhere and nothing, the King of Nowhere offered his embrace. He had felt urged to this place, to her provocation through this death. He had seen the enscription upon the Grave's head upon stepping out of the lines of tree, and knew then the immense loss she was reeling within and from. Trying to.

"Let me take you?

Bernie could stand like this for hours. For days. Awaiting her turn to face him. He had the patience of a mountain.

Yet, he could smell the wastelands of white sand and red skies. Purple clouds heavy with mist. He wanted to show her the Dreamwalk, as he had always meant to. He was not a man that was forceful, though he felt his actions to be sure in her case.

To heal now, to help. He was her Guide, the coachman for her Pain, if she would have it.

Jewell was often in her own little world when she visited the cemetery. She participated in an intimate, one-sided, conversation with Skyler, which was really with just herself. Regardless, it had her ignoring everything and anyone else around.

When she stood, her limbs stiff from sitting so long in the cold on the ground, and turned about she was reasonably surprised that anyone was there at all. She shrank back from the figure a moment before memory intruded on current grief and provided her with a name: Bernie.

She mouthed that name, grey eyes moving from the familiar face to the offered hand. She stood, somewhat guarded and unsure.

"Let me take you."

"Take me?" Her voice was somewhat raw sounding. She trusted Bernie, he had never given her a reason not to and had always been kind to her. Yet, this request made her nervous. Here, in the cemetery where she was so unguarded, Bernie had come upon her with an unusual request. "Where would you take me, Bernie?" Her caution carried through in her tone, her stance shifting somewhat like a scared rabbit ready to bolt.

The wind scuttled about their feet, tickled the leaves to chime in flutters. His hair streaked across his features as he watched.

"To Dream. Ponds of Reflection, love"

He smiled, warmly, his hand closing about her wrist, lifting her arm lightly, as if to beckon that mad, cool breeze unto her.

"Darkness can be tread. Wade through this and come out the otherside. I offer a stone as a step, Fae. I know you from the Day One of my Journey time here. You are good, and deserve as much"

He spun, slight, facing the east. Eyes dropped to his open palm and the slender chain within. It was a wreath of dandelions, and he crowned this Empress with it.

"I'm your escort. Coachman to the Ether, Jewell. Shine in this place, and that...", now facing her, holding her wrist lower, his touch so faint as if it weren't there, but it guided her outwards from the nestle of shadowing branches.

"Step into the Open"

A grin, dark eyes lit in mystic mayhem.
