this night, walk the dead in a solitary style (for Lara)
Spencer doesn't have many choices in the way of clothing when it comes to digging up the local cemetery. This certainly isn't something he's ever done before, nor is it something he ever thought he would do but for reasons he still can't quite explain to himself, here he is. He's dressed in the closest to all black as he could manage--his coat is a little too big for him but it always has been, it had been an early birthday gift from his mother before she'd died--and equipped with a messenger bag full of books and a shovel.
It's getting to be dark out and he can't see anyone else around but he feels more out of place than usual as he waits for Lara.

He has no idea whether they'll actually find this supposed spellbook they're looking for but the thought that it might really exist has Spencer rocking on his heels, buzzing with nerves and excitement. He just hopes that they don't get caught.

He knows that's not true, couldn't possibly be, but even if it was, he's not sure he'd mind it all too much. It's a valuable thing, he's realizing, not to have to go about life hiding who he really is.

She looks at him sidelong. "So who else do you know or suspect of witchcraft or being another species?"

He meets her eyes, his own widening a bit at the question, and he shrugs. "Is this the part where I'm supposed to shake my head and act like I have no idea? Because if people are trying to keep things like that a secret, I wouldn't want to betray anyone's trust. Unless you already know everything there is to know about anyone, which I wouldn't put past you, by the way."

"Keeping all the names in one place certainly comes with some risk, if the wrong people were ever to get their hands on it," Spencer agrees. "Besides, I imagine there are some people who don't want to be found out, not even by other witches or sirens."

"You're right. Plenty of people. Better to keep it all in my head I think." She smiled at him. "And I realise I just messed up there. Please keep Val's situation to yourself until she or her sister mention it. They won't mind you knowing but...just in case."

"Don't worry, Lara, your secrets are all safe with me." She knows that, he thinks, and it's why she had been so quick to tell him the truth about herself. She could have passed it off as a trick of the mind, a strange effect of the mist, but she hadn't. "Having you be the one to tell me these things, it's-- well, it's helpful. I'm not sure how well I'd have taken it from someone I respected less."
