[ Since the City seemed to be back to normal again or at least it was whole once more, Will had decided to come out of hiding. He'd been held up in his apartment, eating very little and trying not to exert much energy. He'd never really been all that good at fighting, so he left hunting monsters to Hannibal. Now that he had access to the other side of the City, Will had spent the last few days working on a little project of his.

He was down by the lake when the video feed came on. Sleeves rolled up, sweat sticking curls of hair to his forehead and there was a healthy layer of dirt covering him too. A small axe he'd borrowed from the armory, some homemade rope, and stacks of wood he'd already scavenged or cut down. He was making a small hut to use when out fishing originally but had extended the project upon some thought. ]

Almost done... I er, my apartment was becoming a little over populated... What with all of these fellas , Winston, myself and Hannibal all living there so... I mean, I'm not exactly okay with the idea of people adopting them... I'd hate to think some of you tried to eat them after claiming them so... So I've built a little habitat for them. Please, please respect it?

[ Will turns his phone around, letting you see the 14+ Fennic fox and pair of Nugs he'd rescued when the demons arrived. He'd made a very small compound for them, much like a chicken coop and run. A few small huts for them to take shelter in and a small fence to hopefully keep things out. It was right next to his fishing hut too! So he could keep an eye on them of course. ]

I'd say you're all welcome to come and keep them company, they like to play... Er, you're also welcome to use the trapper shack too, but I mean, I'm there most days catching fish anyways so... Yeah.

[ Awkward as ever he cuts the feed. Closing his eyes and sighing. He'd forgotten to ask if anyone wanted to help him build it up a little bigger or to see if he needed permission from the Gods to start with. Oh well~ Never mind, right? ]

It's part of my job, actually.

[ Smirking as he spoke. It was true! When Jack left Will unattended and completely alone at a crime scene, Will would close his eyes, mentally walk around and act out the murders. Often Will would find he'd moved around a little and even spoke out loud as he investigated. That and he was a little crazy after all.

Seeing Jill smile at his embarrassment seemed to dull it down a little. Making him feel less awkward and more accepted. He nodded and bowed his head. ]

In an hour it is.

[ As he waited for Jill to arrive, Will took to laying down on the grass. The small foxes and shy nugs thought this was a perfect opportunity to dive bomb him, using him as a climbing frame or something to nibble on to sharpen their teeth. Will didn't mind at all, he enjoyed knowing the animals were comfortable enough to abuse him like so .]

[Jill got her things together and headed out the door to meet Will at the spot by the river. It was nice doing things other than patrols. It made her feel a little more like she had a normal life in this place, even if nothing about the place was ever normal.

When she arrived to see Will covered in playful critters, Jill couldn't help but laugh at the sight.]

I guess they forgave your singing.

That or they're trying to kill me with cuteness because of it?

[ Will sat up, a fox rolling down his chest and into his lap, where it decided to spring up and leap off of him, maybe kicking him a little in the groin as it did, his expression winced into an unpleasant look- though he played it off well, giving a cough and drawing his legs up, knees to chest. ]

I might be in a little over my head this time... I have a problem when it comes to collecting strays.

[ He laughed, moving to stand and meet Jill properly. ]

[Jill managed not to laugh when one of Will's foxes bounded off of him. As he rose to greet her, she smiled at him. Yes, Will does have what some might consider a problem when it came to taking animals in.]

Everyone deserves a home.

[So she can't really fault him for it. Especially when he takes such good care of them.]

What can I do to help?

[ How kind of her. No, really, Will appreciated the fact that she didn't laugh as the small fox almost crippled him with a low blow. Even if they all bit him or snarled at him, Will would still look after them with such dedicated love and kindness. He really did have a problem taking in strays... People too, not just animals. ]

They do. I just want to make sure they're happy and safe.

[ Smiling as she asked what she could do to help. Will came to stand back up and dusted himself down of dirt and grass. ]

Well, for a start, we need to make sure they're all marked. I soaked some vegetable leaves and flower petals to make a kind of natural dye. we just need to get a little on everyone's underbelly. That way I can tell which ones are mine from any wild ones we might attract.

[When Will got up, Jill's lips quirked in amusement again at the sight of him. She lifted her hands, pausing a moment to be sure it was fine before she started to brush her fingers through his curls and dust some of the dry grass from his head.]

Okay, sounds good. Just tell me what to do.

[She'll follow his lead.]

[ Will shifted towards her hands gladly. Letting her brush the dry grass strands that stayed behind and tangled to his curls. It felt nice anyway, Jill's hands in his hair and Will smiled at the sensation for as long as it lasted. ]

Are you any good at tackling and catching?

[ As he said this, one of the foxes made a mad dash past Will, who soon turned and chased the animal towards Jill to catch. It would be easier if one herded them and the other grabbed them. One at a time. ]

[Jill quickly got the picture, and luckily, she was pretty agile. One had to be to survive a zombie apocalypse. When Will rushed the little fox toward her, she swooped down and grabbed hold of it. Tightly enough so it wouldn't escape but not so it would get hurt. The last thing she wanted to do was injure the precious critter.]

Got it!

[ Of course she would be good at this. Why hadn't he asked for her help sooner? Smiling as he quickly came over, pulling a little pot of the homemade dye from a pouch pocket of his trousers. Dabbing the ends of his fingers into it before smearing a little on the foxes underbelly. ]

There. How does that look? Subtle but obvious... If that, makes sense?

[ Tilting his head, trying to get a look and make sure the marking was alright. ]

[The fox looked kind of cute with the bit of color on it.]

Stylish. I don't think he'll mind. Or she'll mind.

[Whichever is correct. Once the fox was marked, she let the little guy go.]

Stylish, huh?

[ Right then, as Jill was rendered helpless, on account of holding a precious little fox, Will decided to make Jill looked just as stylish as the fox.

He slowly and without seeming obvious, moved his fingers to point behind Jill. His expression looked concerned and he managed to keep it up for as long as it too for Jill to turn and look. ]

What the-....

[ Quickly! Will smeared a little of the dye, just on the tip of Jill's nose! He feigned a look of surprise then as if it was by mistake. ]

[Jill, ever alert, was easily fooled by what sounded like a warning. She made the turn of her head, only to be struck by Will with a bit of paint! How cruel! And she was worried about zombies when the real danger lurked right in front of her!]

Hey! If I wasn't holding this little guy, you'd be in for it, buddy.

[Be wary of her revenge, Will! It will strike when you least expect it.]

[ Always expect the unexpected, Jill! Especially from Will! He couldn't help but laugh. Held his hands up in surrender as he took a few steps back from her. ]

Oh, I'm shaking in my boots.

[ Far too amused by the situation. Will wouldn't mind her payback anyway, he kind of assumed she'd try and get her own back on him at some point, but he'd probably forget about it before long. ]

You should be. Just remember this if we get around to having a training session.

[Then Jill will have plenty of opportunity to get her revenge on Will. Self-defense lessons can be dangerous. Remember that!

With a smile, she put the critter into his pen so he can rejoin his little friends.]
