WHO Will Scarlet, Wrath, Saint Patrick
WHEN Friday morning
WHERE The immigration assistance office
WHAT Will trying to be Normal
WARNINGS none

Will woke far too early for any respectable person. He'd been having a very odd dream where Tuck was locked in a shed and banging to be let out, but when Will opened the door he was the Sheriff, who vomited blood and then tried to eat him. Just as the villain had overpowered him and was about to chomp down on his fingers, he woke up.

He paused in the doorway of the bathroom. The room was very cold. They'd installed a portable cooling unit in there to stop the ice melting so fast in the summer heat, and Tuck was wrapped in a sheet on top of and under sealed bags of ice, only his face poking out. Will had fought in both world wars, he knew what a rotting man looked like. Aside from the unnatural colours, Tuck's face stayed with an attitude of repose (if a little dehydrated and stretched), which gave Will hope that his absence wouldn't be for so very long.

In the mean time, what was he supposed to do? Stand around and wait for something to happen? He didn't even have Luna to talk to, as an impartial observer who could call him on his bullshit and tell him to get his arse into gear. He stood in the kitchen and drank two cups of coffee, and then decided he had to go to work today.

He left a note for Francis, and headed out. Alan had brought him a suitcase of clothes, so at least he had something fresh for the day. He enjoyed walking in the early morning warmth, hands in his pockets and earbuds in his ears, and it helped centre him. He needed to take exercise more often. It helped a lot.

When he got to work, he clocked in and went and headed into the office, giving Wrath a little nod and wave. "Hi. What've we got going on today?"

"Oh! Oh my goodness, yes of course!" Patrick said, upset at himself for not thinking of it first. He fumbled at his pockets for a moment before pulling out his phone and writing himself a memo. "I will do that the very second we go back upstairs! Don't be sorry for asking, I'm sorry for not asking!"

He was going to say more, but Wrath emerged from the heritage centre and walked over towards them, her eyebrows raised. "Are you two making out?" she asked dryly.

"Ah, not yet," Patrick joked. "I'm trying the slow woo. I did shoot him with confetti."

Wrath snorted and then she just sat down on the bench, wedging herself between them and resting her head on Patrick's shoulder. "Your person is gonna be pissssed, making out with other people like that!"

"Ah yes, best not to ever upset Famine," Patrick smiled fondly.

	"Hi," said Will, shifting over a bit so Wrath could fit in the gap better. "I have plenty of people to make out with, I don't really wanna bring that shit to work, you know?" Of course Patrick of Ireland was dating Famine. Who else would he be dating? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wrath reached out to pat Will's shoulder. "Ah, very smart you. I decided you can do all the work today so you can be distracted. That's fucking amazing of me, isn't it?" Patrick just smirked and hid behind his mocha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just outstanding," Will deadpanned. "You're so thoughtful." He laughed a little, and sipped the last of his coffee. "Thank you, for real thank you. I just haven't been able to focus much lately and it's been difficult. I probably shouldn't have come to work today." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's alright," Patrick soothed. "Stay if you like, though if you want to go, of course you can do that too." "We can do shit all together if you want," Wrath offered, in an uncharacteristic show of selflessness. "Or I could take you to my stable and you could ride my horse! She's the fuckin best and her name is Lady Groot!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's been a long time since I last rode a horse," Will said. Maybe it wasn't such a terrible idea. "You guys are okay with blowing off work in the middle of the day? Just for me? I can't let you do that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't have any appointments today," Patrick was quick to assure Will. If he had, of course he wouldn't blow off work, but he was appointment free. "And Wrath would blow off work for an oreo." "I'd get mad, but it's true," Wrath laughed. "Let's go visit some horses," Patrick smiled at both of them. Work bonding was totally an acceptable use of work time! (Reply to this) (Parent)
