Description: Among and besides the white tombstones of Arlington National Cemetery (which is less than a mile to the north of the Headquarters [Pentagon]), different ones can be spotted. These are made out of stone and the letters that express the information on them are uneven and messily carved. Besides some of these rudimentary tombs rest dry or withered flowers, presents, some of them even have new flowers regularly, when they can be found. Some names are legible, and some aren't. It was a truce between the tracer and the carver that didn't always end well.

The land the Graveyard sits on is shared space that doubles as a pasture. Included are a few dozen chickens that roam about on their own, as well as a handful of wild pigs, goats, horses, and various other livestock (all with a minimal and sustainable population). Most of the scraps and spoiled leftovers usually end up going to the animals, but the animals are slaughtered regularly to maintain their population. These animals are regularly attended to and watched over by a small pack of dogs that protects the general vicinity along with several armed patrols. Much of the waste is used for the crops that are both grown at Arlington and the courtyard located inside of the HQ (Pentagon).

Ishade walked in, moving amongst the tombstones, knowing exactly were his brothers tomb was. There wasn't a picture on it, as they hadn't had any ways to take it.. but still, ishade had made sure he had enough drawings and sketches from him, even if they were made in dirty charcoal, it was better than anything.

He sat down besides the tomb, resting his side and his head against it.

"Hey... Lu, I hope you're doing well, wherever you are. " ishade sighed, smiling softly. He noticed the last flowes he brought were dry and withered, he would have to find more. He wanted to find more.
"You won't believe what happened yesterday, it... it was crazy. And don't worry as I tell you what happened, because I'm here so I'm safe, I was in danger but it all ended well. For me at least."
Another sigh, he fiddled with his hands nervously, imagining his brothers worried face. He always worried too much.

Ishade rubbed the little nub where his pinky used to be and continued talking.
"I went out to scout around No Man's, like I do every day, but as soon as I got to the main road... huff. I saw a couple of people, nothing unusual, you know how No Mans is. There's always a rogue or two, like we used to be." Ishade smiled softly, remembering those times, before the dogs...
"Then, I suddenly heard a gunshot!, Oh god it scared me so much, I hid behind a car. Well, a cars carcass.. the rest of it wasn't there. But as I was saying, I hid inside it, inside the car. And suddenly I hear another two gunshots, or well, rifle shots because the girl who suddenly put her rifle against my side was a sniper, I think. "
Ishade made a pause.
"So there I was, with the barrel against my side and suddenly she demands to see Ulric. Can you believe that?, she wanted me to lead her here, to Ulric... I don't even know why she thought that would have happened. Even if I had agreed, a sniper would have taken her out from the pentagons roof!. Pft... " he chuckled " Anyways, somehow, I managed to put the gun away and knock her out. I honestly don't remember how I did it very well, it all happened so quickly... " sigh " But I-I could have died, if only she had decided to shoot me from her hideout, so I think I shouldn't scout alone anymore. I will take someone else with me. I promise... " He remained in his place besides the tomb. Telling his brother about the rest of the day.. avoiding Ulrics topic, just in case, and because Lukias most likely already knew about it by the time he died, he always found out about everything.. Ishade never knew how.
 
Once ishade was done, he stood up and said goodbye. He had to pass by his quarters to pick up his brothers rifle and some Ammo, and then he would go scouting. Hopefully not running into anyone dangerous.
Ishade left the cemetery.
