[ 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? ]

[Jill ceases the laughter to a quiet chuckle and then stops. Ahem.]

Sorry. I haven't laughed like that in awhile.

[It felt good.]

I'm sure the animals will enjoy having their own home.

[ If it had been anyone other than Jill, Will wouldn't have done something so silly in the first place. He wanted to make her smile, so hearing her laugh was a great result... Even if he did feel a little foolish. I was worth it. ]

Well at least you enjoyed it... I'm sorry little buddy.

[ Kneeling down and petting one of the startled animals as it poked its head out from its hiding to see if Will was finished 'singing' ]

Yea, it was getting a little crowded inside. It'll be nice for them to experience living in the wild... Or, well as close to wild as can be.

[ He was so caring, worrying about the animals more than himself. ]

[His big heart is one of the things Jill liked best about him. Though he might disagree, he had many good qualities.]

At least we can visit with them when you give me those fishing lessons.

[Things have been so crazy, they never did quite get around to that.]

[ He would definitely disagree with her. Clearly, his best quality was his singing voice!

As Jill mentioned visiting, at first he mistook it as her saying she wanted to come over to his apartment again, instead of what it was actually about... Those cute little critters. ]

You're welcome anytime. I think I still have some of your stuff? Or well, I mean, Winston might have brought over some of your stuff?

[ It was true! Ever since Jill played fetch with Winston and an ugly Christmas sweater, Winston had a thing for bringing over one of her boots or even her pillow or socks now and again. ]

Oh! Fishing, yea, I've err.... I've started to collect and dry it for everyone, if you're free sometime, I could do with a hand?

[When he mentions Winston bringing over her things, Jill raises her brow at the news.]

So that's what happened. I started to think I was becoming senile.

[At least she knows she hasn't just misplaced random things in random places.]

Sure, when do you want me?

[Jill can always manage to find time for him.]

[ Normally, he'd feel a bit more awkward mentioning that his dog was stealing his love interests belongings? It wasn't as if he'd trained him to do it! Winston clearly just liked being around Jill and having some of her things around obviously made the hound feel better? ]

You might be senile too, I have seen you talking to yourself on your patrols before.

[ Joking in his tone and he couldn't help the smile that started to stretch across his face as he teased her. Just forget the part about him watching her on her patrols... It's not like he stalks her or anything... ]

When do I want you?...

[ He had to think for a moment before his mouth went without his mind's consent. ]

Honestly? Whenever you're free would be great. Next week, tomorrow, an hour from now, yesterday?

[ That stupid expression on his face. A mix of nervousness overwashed with amusement. ]

[If Winston suddenly started taking just her underwear, Jill would be a little more suspicious about the dog and any training he might've received. But Will's not that bad...

The mention of her talking to herself does make Jill momentarily embarrassed.]

It helps me think!

[Has she done that in view of him? Well, maybe he saw her muttering to herself before approaching her.]

Hmm, I don't think I can do yesterday, but any of the other times are good. I can be there in an hour?

[If that's really what he wants.]

[ Oh Will is a little bad like that when he gets the chance to fuss over something or someone. But yes, he was, by all means, no pantie thief. Winston on the other hand? ...

Her reaction was perfect. Seeing Jill embarrassed, if only for a second, always made will feel like he had achieved something. ]

Hey, if that's how your professionals back home get things done, who am I to judge?

[ Still with mocking and a playful joke to his tone. Chances are, she probably hadn't done it in front of him at all. will being Will, he was at least able to assume correctly if she had or not. ]

Can you? Er, okay then. In an hour. It's a date... Er I mean it's er. Nevermind.

[ Oh and he was doing so well too! The odd nervous, bumbling mistake was inevitable after all. ]

I'll bet you talk to yourself.

[He seems like the type that would, even if she hasn't personally witnessed it. Or maybe he just has lots of conversations in his head. Either way! Maybe Jill was just the subject of his profiling expertise. She likes that he's smart, though.

When he gets flustered over his own words again, Jill smiles.]

See you in an hour.

[True to her word, Jill will head to the riverside within an hour to meet up with Will and give him any help she can provide.]

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.]
