Kate opened the door. Room was as she left it. Mostly. Some things seemed a little out of place. A quick check confirmed her notes were still in the puzzle books.

She placed the box on the table, and went over to hug Will again. Breathing him in.

Comments

He beams down at her and settles back on the bed,

"Lord, ye're so beautiful when ye're that 'appy, love."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Nice to have a reason for being happy. Thank you. Love you, Will."

[will_scarlett]

"Love ye, Kate."

He smiles and leans back on the bed with a small wince and a grin.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Careful." She cautioned him, and stroked his hair.

[will_scarlett]

"Tis worth it to make ye smile so. Shall we 'ave some more cake?"

He turns to kiss her hand, it feels so nice to have her stroke his hair,

"Oh an Guppy an 'is lass Frogs are 'avin' a party an we're invited."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She nodded, "Sure, and oh they are? That's nice. What's the occasion?"

[will_scarlett]

"'ousewarmin'."

He leans over to bring the box between them and kisses her hair,

"Loved seein' ye so 'appy, lately, need more joy in our lives."

She went to slice off a piece, after finding some cutlery in the box.

"Hmmm... don't know what they have, but should get a little something for them then."

She then ate a piece of cake instead of replying to the rest.

[will_scarlett]

He eats some cake and rubs her back instead of commenting on what she's not saying since she seems to be doing that a lot,

"'e said they didna near anythin' but thought might be nice to bring 'em somethin' pretty for their 'ome."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She couldn't trust herself anymore. Part of the problem. Hard to trust others since she couldn't say too much.

"Maybe some nice glassware, or some flowers or a small piece of artwork then." She remarked, leaning against him as she ate her slice.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, somethin' pretty to make their 'ouse a 'ome. 'rhaps could go to New York an wander round there e'en 'ave a picnic in that large park."

He strokes her hair, just wanting to make her feel safe and sure again.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She sighed, "Have to be a different New York then. I'm Bound right now. I haven't seen the door since I got back here."

[will_scarlett]

That gives him pause, she's normally not Bound and hugs her,

"Oh aye, will think o'somethin' else then."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Just another sign of things being very wrong. She had an idea why. Maybe she could go around it, but felt there was a reason for it. She can't risk going home like this. Would cause problems with her teammates, and risk interference from SHIELD for sure. She could lapse and wake up in one of their prisons because of it.

"Yeah, have time at least."

[will_scarlett]

"Wish to do aught else this eve? Could run us a bath since that's always nice."

He hugs her a bit more, he loves her so much and its so clear she's hurting.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," She hugged him back tightly, her head nestling against his shoulder.

[will_scarlett]

"Or can just stay 'ere. I'm 'ere to listen whene'er, love. 'ere, I'll make us some chai, ye stay there."

He gives her a kiss and another hug before standing up and getting the kettle boiling and coming back to stroke her hair.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"I don't know what I can talk about anymore. What's safe."

[will_scarlett]

"Then dinna 'ave to talk. I trust ye, Kate, an love ye an will do all I can for ye."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She wanted to say that he shouldn't trust her. Even though that other self's been quiet for a while. Couldn't even hear her in her head these days.

Could be good, could be bad.

"The party will be nice. Wish there was some place to go. How's Sherwood been?"

[will_scarlett]

"Quiet for a time."

No matter how often she might say, he's not going to stop trusting her, he loves her too much.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Good. You all need it."

[will_scarlett]

The kettle starts whistling and he kisses her again and goes to pour out the water,

"Aye, we all do."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She sighed, "The one time I think having a memory like mine stinks. I don't want to forget everything like what happened to you. But maybe just pick key things... like that time away in that place with Branden."

[will_scarlett]

"'ave to take more time on the good things is all."

He reaches out to gently touch the necklace that's back around her neck.
