Happy Hour

Since Richard's return, life has changed for Will and he's still not certain what to feel of his new world. Once the king reestablished himself, he and his court have gone to rule as Robin goes between them and the work of healing Nottingham. At court, Will or John have always been by his side just as they are his stewards at Locksley and one of the other men who remained is there too. None of them quite fit, but its an honor for the king to hold Robin in such respect but even Robin doesn't find it simple to step back into the life that was once his. Marian is his wife and together they continue to bring hope, but for all that everything is better, there are shadows and memories from the bad times nearby.

Today Will has been trying to make sense of maps and charters with Allan and Tuck to figure out how to settle a land dispute that was put on hold by the Sheriff's abuses. He opens the door of the library in his new greens to show he is still Robin's man with ink on his hands and stares before going to the counter with a sigh, "Been too long."

In return he gets a napkin and smiles before moving behind the counter to find some specials and look for familiar faces. He wonders what's become of Marlowe, he would understand that even a happy ending is complicated.

Happy Hour
Promised Land Martini
Happy Ending
Gunfire
Whiskey
Wine
Rum


Once the special's are carefully written, being a steward has put his writing and reading to good use, he pours himself a generous measure of one of the good bourbons and sits down on the stool.

(OOC: Open until the next Happy Hour goes up. Will is officially through the main plot of his canon.)

"He's probably the most intelligent dog I've ever met", Michael tells him. "He understands every word you say. And I haven't seen it myself, but the children tell me sometimes he glows blue."

"To say the least", he agrees. "We have protections of our own on the house, but only against supernatural threats - and of course, Mouse is warm and solid for Maggie to lean on. Or sleep with, we've reinforced her bed."

"And it's as important for her to feel secure as to actually be safe", Michael says with a nod.

"Time and constant reinforcement, I think, are the only ways to do it. She still wakes in the night more often than not."

"I think it does too. We've made sure she's never completely alone unless it seems like she wants to be - and even then, somebody's never far away."

"Our home is as safe as it gets." He looks grave, though. "But Harry - Molly's mentor - has disappeared, and I worry about her."

"I will. She still asks after you sometimes, but... she hasn't been coming home as much lately."

"As best she can on her own. But I'm afraid the White Council will start hunting her again if he doesn't come back."

"There might be some who were fond of Harry and would take her on - if the Council would let them. I have a hunch the one who's supposed to be leading the search for her isn't trying as hard as he could be."

"It is. She does have an exceptional talent for veils, so there's that."

Michael nods. "She does have that, too. She seems to be associating with the Leanansidhe, which... I don't quite like, but she is a powerful ally."

"One of the Fae. And as unpredictable and dangerous as any of them, unless you can get them to give their word."
