The door was opened to Sherwood, Will's Sherwood, and she already had her hood up on her cloak. She shouldered her belongings, and her blue eyes flickered up toward the raindrops coming through the tree leaves. She stood still for a moment, and just breathed in the scents of the forest. Willing her breathing to calm and slow.

"They're too far from my side, you can get it," she countered.

She did wiggle her butt under his hand a little though.

"Its na that big a place, love, ye're just bein' lazy."

So he tickles her.

"So are you... ahaha!" She laughed some more, and tried to roll to the side.

"Can't get up if you don't let me."

"Ye're on top."

His logic will prevail.

"You're tickling."

Poke.

So there.

"Na right now an ye're still on top."

"Fine," she got up.

Watch out Will, there was a towel getting thrown at you!

Somehow it was in the basket, Will just grabs it out of the air and cleans himself up. Then hugs her and gives her another kiss,

"Guess we should 'ead back to the Bar soon."

"Guess so, but I want to come back here for longer sometime. When the weather's better for it. Ok?"

"Oh aye, 'rhaps after the tax. Just well tis 'arder to just be 'ere than yer 'ome is all."

Kate nodded as she peered back in Will's eyes, "I know that, I'm not going to expect to be able to check email and text people here. But I want to understand your world too."

"Isna as complicated as yers though, just Nottingham."

"So why hide it? Or are you hiding me from it?"

"Na 'idin' anythin' just tis less o'Nottingham. Dinna 'ave as much to show ye is all so ne'er quite sure what to do."

"See who needs help? Being a tourist gets old anyway."

"Always someone needin' aid 'ere."

He pulls her into a good strong hug,

"Love ye, Kate."

"Well I want to help here too. With you."

She hugged him back.

"I love you, Will."

"Aye, I know, love. Forgive me for bein' foolish just wish ye to be safe an well an yerself."

"Will? I am myself. It's me. No one else is here."

She touched his cheek.

"I promise."

Even as a brief thought popped into her head.

Tick tock. She didn't tense, or reveal anything on her face though. Slight tension around the eyes, and that's all.

"Just me, and I can defend myself."

"Aye, I know. Just worryin' more than I should."

Her face softened, and she kissed his forehead, and then his mouth for a moment.

"You usually do. Kind of sweet though."

"Love ye so much an 'ate seein' ye 'urt is all."

"I know, I'm fine now." She smiled and kissed him again.

He kisses her gently and wish quiet passion before stroking her face,

"If ye're e'er na, tell me."

"I will. I mean it. No more hiding."
