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.

When she finally sleeps, he allows himself to close his eyes though his dreams are restless.

She woke up briefly sometime in the early morning, but stroked Will's hair before settling in to doze more against him.

Once he finally sleeps, he doesn't stir for a long time instead just holding her tightly.

She finally wakes up properly sometime around noon or so, and nuzzled against Will, kissing his cheek.

[will_scarlett]

Blearily he opens his eyes and kisses her,

"Morn, love. 'ow'd ye sleep?"

"Morning. Mixed. Better later on." Her earlier dreams were of her held down, and some of her traumatic memories mixing together. The later ones were calmer, standing on a shoreline ones.

"Aye, good. Think tis some food in the basket an sounds like the rain's lessened."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Her stomach rumbled a little.

"Good." Definitely hungry now for breakfast. She got up, and headed over to the basket to pull out some items. thermos of tea, some biscuits and scones, also sandwiches and fruit, cheese.

[will_scarlett]

He stands up beside her, giving her a hug as he pokes the fire awake,

"I'll 'eat the tea up. Ye look a bit better, love."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"A little bit. Some sleep helped." She hugged him back, and smoothed some hair back from his forehead.

"How are you?"

[will_scarlett]

His answer is take, use his knife to toast a scone over the fire,

"Well 'nough, more worried for ye."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"I'll be all right. Just needed some time away."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, course, what do ye wish to do?"

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. Just be here. Offer my help where I can actually do something good for a change."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, o'course."

It hurts so much to see her like this and he sets to work eating as the tea is finally reheated.

Bitter smile, "Even though getting chased by cops will be familiar now." She munched on an early apple.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, well think we can keep that from 'appenin' too much."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"I'll be fine. At least they don't have cars or guns yet here."

[will_scarlett]

"Nay just blades an bows."

He keeps eating, rubbing her back and trying to think of what they can do that will help her but also not be too dangerous.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She leaned against him.

"A lot easier to deal with, and be on more equal footing."

Kate munched on some bites of sandwich and added, "I want to get used to being here anyway. Make this a second home, you know?"

[will_scarlett]

That makes him blush and give her a much truer smile,

"Aye, just as I wish to know yer New York better."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"I know, but now we've been to my world longer than yours. Hardly seems fair you know?"

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye. Well na sure if goin' to Nottingham is the safest place, but there's a family was thinkin' 'bout checkin' on."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She smiled back, "Oh? We can do that today. Who is it?"

[will_scarlett]

"Just one o'the wee ones 'as been sick an Tuck gave me some stuff to so I can check on 'em. Also whate'er we dinna eat will do 'em good."
