William hasn't found any more doors to Milliways for about a week and he hasn't quite been looking, it was too confusing with good food, nice people and then Wade.

This morning he's only thinking up about saddling up Les and checking the fences now that Mark's off to school. The little healing vial is tucked away in his hiding place alongside the drawing of his Pa that Wade did since he's not sure what to do with it.

When the door to the tack room opens onto the Bar, he stares at it for a while before walking up to the counter and asking for some coffee. He's not quite sure how he feels about being here, but he's here now.

Tiny tag who needs to wake up: William Evans

"I haven't met anybody from my world, dead or alive, in here," Urquhart says. "But there are a few dead people here. We can go to other people's worlds for a few days, but otherwise, this is our afterlife."

[not_his_pa]

"Its not a bad place to be dead?"

[scots_wolf]

"No," Urquhart says. "I may have deserved hell according to conventional belief, but I didn't get it. This is a very good afterlife. I have met good friends, interesting enemies, and the loveliest red-headed woman ever."

[not_his_pa]

"Hope my Pa made it to Heaven," He should have.

[scots_wolf]

"Then you'll probably not see him here, will you?" Urquhart says.

Despite Saffron and Moist and everything -- heaven, this is not.

[not_his_pa]

William nods, he didn't want to think about his Pa since he hopes his father wouldn't be disappointed in him.

[scots_wolf]

"And I can't tell you what it is like to be dead, either," Urquhart says. "I just found myself here, feeling just the way I've always done."

[not_his_pa]

"Not sure I'd want to know."

[scots_wolf]

"Have you met anybody in here that you know?" Urquhart asks.

[not_his_pa]

"Yeah, Ben Wade, he got my Pa killed."

[scots_wolf]

"You know about rules in this place?" Urquhart says. "Not that I care about them, but it would be a pity if you got in trouble with the Security people here."

[not_his_pa]

"Wade mentioned somethin' about cells."

[scots_wolf]

"No violence, no business from home, no nakedness in public places," Urquhart says. "Wade is probably number two, if you get into trouble here."

[not_his_pa]

"More likely one too."

[scots_wolf]

"Not worth it, in any case," Urquhart says. "Unless you want unlimited time to read books."

[not_his_pa]

"I won't do it,"

He couldn't do it in Contention.

[scots_wolf]

"Good," Urquhart says. "You'll still have books, and time for them."

[not_his_pa]

"Yeah, thanks again,"

William opens his mouth to say something about making it up to Urquhart but then stops.

[scots_wolf]

"Yes?"

[not_his_pa]

"Nothing important," He'll figure something out on his own.

[scots_wolf]

"How about another round of coffee?" Urquhart suggests.

[not_his_pa]

"Thanks, yeah,"

Bar also provides a biscuit with some egg and bacon in it.

[scots_wolf]

Urquhart has oatmeal, very Scottish.

And then, they just have breakfast.-
