Happy Hour

[will_scarlett]

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.)

"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."

[will_scarlett]

"That's somethin' but its 'ard that its na in 'er control."

[onceholyknight]

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

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, bein' able to 'ide aids a lot an 'avin' those who'll protect ye."

[onceholyknight]

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."

[will_scarlett]

"I'm afraid I dinna know who that is."

[onceholyknight]

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

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, I know Molly's 'ad great trouble with the Fair Folk. She must be doin' badly if she's goin' to 'em."

[onceholyknight]

"Harry has had links with them since he was young, and his mother before him. I think the Leanansidhe might have taken up her training in his place."

[will_scarlett]

"I see, I wish 'er safety then as the Fair Folk are tricky an powerful."

[onceholyknight]

"I appreciate that. I wish I could do more for her, but... sometimes you just have to let someone find their own way."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, an isna easy or simple."

[onceholyknight]

"Nothing ever is." He takes a sip of his drink. "And this is very good."

[will_scarlett]

"Glad ye like it. Let me know if ye wish for 'nother,"

He spots another customer down the counter and nods to Michael before going to help them.
