Bill Pardy is at a table tonight with a pie. It is of the 'some sort of berry' variety and while Bill isn't always a fan of fruit pies this one is quite delicious. As is evidenced by the several missing slices. Yes, Bill did start with a whole pie for himself. Don't judge!

He's about halfway through his third slice so if anyone wants any they better get one now because it doesn't look like he has any problems with finishing the thing alone.

Will's been outside most of today and Bill's pie smells good so Will tries to see the best way to get a slice.

He's not being sneaky per se just kind of quiet as he contemplates the pie.

It is a very good pie. Just look how quickly that third slice is disappearing.

And then it's gone and he's dishing out another onto his plate. He stops after doing so and smiles, "You want a slice?"

Bill doesn't always have the best 'cop senses' but he does have a great 'someone staring at my delicious flaky dessert sense' and so doesn't need to look around to know there is someone close by showing interest in the pie.

"Aye, smells lovely,"

Its kind of amazing how fast Will is sitting down and grabbed a plate from a passing waitrat, but he's a hungry kid.

Bill chuckles at the guy's swiftness and sets a piece down onto Will's plate after he has it.

"Oh, it's damn good. Got no idea what kinda little berries these are, but they are good." He emphasises the last 'good' because this pie deserves it.

"How you doin Will?"

After the first two bites are happily eaten, Will grins at Bill,

"Doin' well, 'ad a good talk with Lady Marian an tis good to be back 'ere after what's been 'appenin' in Nottingham. Though 'avena seen Molly since I got back, but 'appens at times so I'm na worryin'. 'ow 'bout ye?"

"Nottingham...how'er things goin there?" He asks.

"I'm doin good. Just business as usual back home an waitin for Luz to get back here. Eatin pie." He shrugs and takes in another forkful.

Will concentrates on the pie before he answers, talking about Marian got him thinking of all the troubles there, but also reminded him that at least they're not fighting alone,

"Should be a good 'arvest this year. Ye were able to sort things out with yer lady then?"

Hopefully Bill will accept that none answer as the pie dissapears more.

He will accept the answer if that's all Will wants to say on it, but he will also listen if there is more offered.

Bill nods his head, relief showing through even now about the mess with Eva and Raz. "Yeah. Yeah, me an Eva are good. Talked it out an all."

He chews thoughtfully and then rubs his jaw slightly where Will's last punch had landed, "Bruising didn't last too long either so I'm pretty well off after that night."

He's been talking a lot about hard times today and things are easier with Marian, but he's not sure he's ready to tell that story again,

"Glad to 'ear it, know 'ow worried ye were,"

The line about bruising gets a grin from Will,

"Aye, ye 'andled yerself well considerin' ye'd been drinkin'."

"Yeah Eva...she's great." He smiles as he thinks about her a moment then takes another bite of pie.

He laughs and shakes his head at the last comment, "Don't think I'd have done it if I hadn't been drinkin. But thanks."

"Why not, do ye ne'er just spar?"

Will grins at Bill's smile and prompts one of his own,

"Aye, so's Molly, feel lucky to know 'er."

Bill laughs and shakes his head, "Nope. Most fighting I do is either against drunks an the like while on duty or as a drunk here or when Luz is gettin me in trouble somewheres else."

He nods to what Will says, agreeing. "Lucky. Think that's a good way of puttin it."

"Aye, must be nice, times feel like I've been fightin' most o'me life."

Again Will gets quiet, thinking of Marian and life in Nottingham before smiling again,

"Aye, tis 'ow I feel that she cares for me an wishes to spend time with me."
