The movement picked up in Nate's vision, causing his his shoulders to stiffen. He lifted his head, casting another glance in the movement's direction. Two figures, moving away from a tree and through the small forest of headstones. He sighed, relief flooding his chest. Good. Just people, probably mourners or some of those kids who hung around here often.

His pace slowed considerable at that revelation, allowing himself to relax slightly. He cast a quick glance upward and frowned, cursing the overcast sky before starting to move again. He turned his head to the two figures, blinking at them before continuing on. They seemed to be heading the way he had come, intending to leave. Good. If he wanted anything it was to not really be bothered. He needed to get back to the house, get those books read. Look at his tapes from last night.

The wind blew hard in his face and he stopped, lifting a hand to keep any of the dried old leaves that would have surely blown off some of the browning trees into his face. Something slapped into his arm, causing his to twitch. It was a piece of paper a brightly decorated one at that. He grumbled before removing it, eyeing it with annoyance. A party. A one for Halloween at that. Maybe...maybe he should go. It had been a while since he'd been to a party. Not since his first semester at WSU. He smiled lightly at the memories and turned, eyeing the way back up and out of the cemetery. Why not? People who usually threw parties usually let people stay the night if they needed to. And it's not like he had work tomorrow. Hell he may even be lucky enough to get a ride out to his place. It was unlikely but it was certainly a better option than staying in the middle of the woods in paranoid silence with the TV on. With a sigh he stuffed the flyer into his pocket and turned, trudging back the way he had come.
