[ Will has been fiddling around with the settings on his phone, hoping that he's managed to make it anonymous. It doesn't say it's from his device so hopefully, it doesn't show that it's from his device to those reading. ]

Are there any medics available to do house calls? I know where the clinic is, it's just getting there that might be a problem.

[ He's not been doing so well lately, the fits and seizures have been more violent, as well as the huge amounts of time he can't recall... Not to mention the only doctor that's seen him so far seems to have vanished. Will doesn't trust easily so it's hard for him to admit he might need help.

An after thought pops into his head. Seeing as how his apartment is full of fennec fox and nugs he saved when all those demons apeared... ]

Also, out of curiousity. Do we have any vets here?

Comments

[pellameno]

I'll bring you some. I've got a garden here that's producing very well, we have plenty of food to share. My best friend is here as well and he's an excellent cook.

[ And for the first time since he came in, Pell looks around again at the various animals Will's collected. ]

What have you been feeding your pets?

[feelslikeimspilling]

Oh, no really! There's no need! You've done so much...

[ It would be nice, though, there's no denying that. Will hasn't had a good, hot meal in a long time. Anything that he finds that looks remotely good to eat, he gives to his pets. ]

Fish, for the most part, and any tinned meat that doesn't seem too gloopy.

[ It was embarrassing really, a man such as Will, eating leftovers so his dog and the pack of foxes he saved could eat better. ]

[pellameno]

No, I'll bring you soup. It's nothing. Just give me a minute to rest.

[ And possibly he'll be feeding Will from time to time from now on. Just to make sure he's eating. Flick always makes enough to share. ]

There are fish in the water here?

[feelslikeimspilling]

Well... Thank you.

[ Will kind fo did need someone to look after him a bit better. The very few people who he knows would make an effort and help, he'd always turned away and put on a brave face. Pell didn't seem like the kind to take no for an answer when it came to people's well-being. ]

Um yea. I was little apprehensive myself at first. I'd been told they were monster fish and all sorts of nasties. I had a word with Hope about it... He assured me all the fish were edible.

[ Before Jill gave him the fishing rod as a gift, he'd been using a homemade net and old techniques to strand fish along the bank. ]

I er... I could catch you a few if you want?

[pellameno]

[ Pell brightens at the offer, nodding excitedly. ]

I'm planning a party for a friend of mine -- her coming of age birthday, and she described some of the food from home to me. A lot of it is fish based, I think it'd be really special if we can pull off a traditional meal.

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Oh God, a party? Will felt a little uneasy at just the mention of it. All those people, all gathered in one space, being social... It gave him goosebumps. Hopefully, if he could just help collect some supplies for it, he could drop them off before the party itself and not have to have anything to do with it. ]

If you can find someone to cook them, then I er... I mean...

[ Rubbing the back of his neck, anxiously with his good hand. ]

... I could get you as many as I can? Might be some seafood too, I've never checked for shells before now.

[pellameno]

[ Pell notices the change in Will's mood, and moves to reassure him. Don't worry, Will, you don't have to come to a party. ]

Flick can cook them. Just catching them would be a great help, we'd have no idea how. A net, I guess you'd use?

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ What a relief! You could even see the heavy sigh he let escape. ]

I mean you could use a net, but I have a rod.

[ Will was an exceptional fisherman! It was something he took pride in. He'd never lost a fish from his hook to this day and he was certain he could catch as many as there was to offer. ]

[pellameno]

[ Poor thing. Pell used to be scared of crowds too, though, he thinks he can understand. And really he'll take all the help he can get with Emily's party, he wants it to be special. ]

Really? I've never seen one before.

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Perhaps one day he'd let Pell inside his mind, see if he could ease some of Will's troubles and fears? It was good to know he wasn't expected to show up at said party, but at the same time, he felt as though he'd have been overstepping his mark to assume he would have been invited in the first place! ]

Haven't you? I have one here, it's pretty plane but it serves me well.

[pellameno]

[ Poor Will. He would have been invited, maybe will be properly later, when he doesn't look so skittish at the mention of a party. Hannah's overseeing the guest list but being such a big help, Emily might want to meet Will at some point. ]

If you're able to feed all these animals I'm sure it does. Can I come with you when you go fishing? I can help carry things, if nothing else.

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Don't be offended if he refuses, or, best case scenario he'd show his face then vanish when no one is looking. It's about the best you can expect from Will Graham. ]

Heh.. I er.. Well...

[ A smile, a kind of curious double take and then a nod. Will wasn't used to people actually wanting to spend time with him. ]

Yes of course! I didn't think you'd be interested.

[pellameno]

[ Pell's smile is gentle in response to Will's surprise. He doesn't understand why the man seems so isolated, when he's only been kind so far. Troubled, obviously, but that doesn't speak to his personality. ]

I'm interested. And thought you might like some company -- I garden alone all the time but it's nice when people stop by.

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly, a small flicker of a smile flirting on the corner of his lips. Will had very strong feelings when it came to privacy, being alone and socializing. He preferred the company of his dogs, dog's didn't' ask if you were okay or try and get you to talk, whereas people did that constantly. ]

I can teach you... I guess that way I'd be more talking at you than with you...

[ Under his breath he muttered the second part. If it was teaching Pell something new, he wouldn't class it as being social, and that way it was acceptable. ]

You'll have to show me your garden sometime. Maybe I could supply you with fish in exchange for a very small plot. For my animals, not me.

[pellameno]

I'd like that.

[ Lucky for Will, Pell is one of those people who's comfortable with silent company. He won't push the other to talk or open up if he doesn't want to. He makes no promises about contact, though... that he seeks out more than he probably should. ]

You can come by whenever... it's on the riverbank right across from Delight's temple. And it produces enough you can have for your animals and you. I already share with some friends and there's still plenty.

[ He finishes his water and breaks off one last piece of chocolate, setting the glass and remainder on the table. ]

I should get out of your hair now, though, let you rest. Can I check in on you tomorrow, maybe we'll work on figuring out what's wrong with your head?

[feelslikeimspilling]

[ Will watched as Pell finished his chocolate and set the rest of his water down. He was feeling exhausted himself, Lord knows how Pell must feel, what with the strain that healing puts on him.

The offer of more food for both him and his pets made Will blush a little. He wasn't used to such kindness and from people he hardly knew. Daring to take a look in Pell's eyes, as awkward as he must have looked, Will paid attention to all the little details. Pell's offer seemed legit, he seemed honest and true, it was refreshing. ]

I think I'll take you up on that offer. Once I've caught you some fish, I'll come have a look at what you've got growing there.

[ Nodding, with a small coy smile. Yea, it was probably best for Pell to tp leave now, Will was already starting to feel a little overwhelmed by all the light conversation. ]

Tomorrow sounds good. I'll er... Look forward to it.

[pellameno]

...I'm glad.

[ For all those things. He stands from the couch and tucks the rest of his supplies back in his bag, lifting it to his shoulder. ]

I'll see you tomorrow, then, Will. It's good to have met you.

[ He lets himself out quietly, hoping the man gets some rest. ]
