Will returns from Atton's world, bloody and slightly limping.

Atton healed his leg but he still has many cuts though the hardest things are what's he's remembering.

He's so tired but a couch by the fire is reached and he finds a blanket pulling it around himself as he watches the fire.

Oh, Will!

He looks much worse for wear; but that happens to a fighter like Will, on occasion. His world is serious and dangerous.

The black cat approaches, slowly.

[will_scarlett]

He's not even aware of the cat, slightly shivering as he rubs at his wrists and looks into the fire, trying to be in here though its hard.

[ostro_goth]

The cat comes closer and looks up at him, giving a little 'mroar?' in question.

[will_scarlett]

The sound gets through and he offers a hand to the cat though his gaze is farther away.

[ostro_goth]

The cat comes closer, and touches his nose to the hand.

[will_scarlett]

Will looks down almost seeing the cat and gives a barely working smile, more of a grimace,

"Day, cat, ye've found the warmth."

[ostro_goth]

'Mraow,' the cat says, sitting by his feet and looking up.

[will_scarlett]

The cat is absently petted, "Na seen ye 'fore, cat."

[ostro_goth]

A cat is not expected to understand that, much less to answer.

He just leans his head against Will's leg.

There's another blanket placed around him, and then warm arms enfolding him in a hug for comfort and reassurance. She didn't speak to him, just letting her presence be known for support and love. Also a kiss to his forehead.

[will_scarlett]

He shifts so he's in her arms, his head on her chest as he rubs and rubs at his wrists,

"'ad chains for 'oldin' men. Can feel the bite o'iron."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She rubbed his back, and stroked his hair.

"Shhh... don't have to talk. You're stronger than that." She started to rock him a little.

[will_scarlett]

There are lots of smaller cuts over his body but he just moves into her touch,

"Aye, lived."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Will check into that later, but right now she just held him.

"You did. You're still alive." Another kiss to his forehead. "I love you. You're strong and brave, Will."

[will_scarlett]

"Couldna break, needed to 'elp Atton."

His voice is small and breaking as he moves into the safety of her.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She hadn't heard his voice sound that bad, and it hurt her deeply. Knowing how much pain he was in right now. She hugged him tighter.

"I know, and you did. You did really well."

[will_scarlett]

"Got 'urt but took down the one who 'urt Atton. Ne'er saw the face o'the man who 'eld the whip."

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy is up and over there pretty quickly.

"You okay?"

[will_scarlett]

Will doesn't look up at first just curls tighter in the blanket,

"They'll na 'urt anyone else."

Guppy will be able to see that Will has lots of smaller injuries from mutant claws and his leg was healed up again after being hurt.

[guppy_sandhu]

Guppy looks at the wound, then frowns slightly.

"Was Atton with you? What's happened?"

[will_scarlett]

"Took down those who would 'urt 'im, saved 'is brother. Just made me 'member."

Then he curls up more in the blanket, his eyes drifting to the fire looking for answers there.

[guppy_sandhu]

"Will, where's Atton?"

He puts a gentle hand on Will's shoulder. "Come on, let's get you checked out."

[will_scarlett]

"In a ship, gettin' 'is brother an family to safety."

Will flinches slightly at the touch,

"Aye, claws that ripped."

[guppy_sandhu]

"This was in his world?"

Guppy had assumed it was Will's world. But... now he recognises the claws.

"... He promised he'd come get a first aid kit." he says, in a strangled voice. Then he swallows everything, the fear, the panic, the fact that he didn't get so much as a note... he knows he can do that without his medication, but it's a fight.

"Are you coming with me or am I going to carry you?" His voice has a slight tremble, but everything else is down to business now.

[will_scarlett]

Will looks at Guppy and slowly stands,

"Aye, they willna 'urt anyone else 'gain. Will ye 'elp me stand, I'm tired."
