There's a pond! Or a little bit of sea, anyway. It's weird.

Though perhaps not as weird as the big earth bunker. Claire met the girl who made the big earth bunker. There was sarcasm, and lots of suspicious question. Claire doesn't think she's liked much in that quarter.

But now she's nowhere near the big earth bunker nor the house with Sylar-who-will-be in it, and out by the pond, sitting near the edge as she re-reads her book on Evolution.

Mr Muggles is crouching at the edge of the pond, occasionally barking at it.

"But show that Robin's a 'ero, aye?"

That's what counts after all in the end, that's the truth that counts.

"Definitely a good guy," Claire confirms, and this time she grins again. "All of you."

More blushing and fiddling with his bandages,

"'e makes us better men, milady, shows us what's possible an gives us 'ope. Wasna for 'im, I'd just be a thief an na doin' 'nough for my family."

"Sounds like a good man," Claire says, then laughs.

"I can't believe you know him. That's amazing."

"'e's Robin, an I'm from Nottingham, milady so course I know an tis an 'onor servin' with 'im."

Oh guilt we missed you, more blushing, fiddling and guilt all at once, Claire gets it all.

It's kind of weird and Claire doesn't know how to deal with it.

"What's he like?" she asks. "Really like?"

"'e's Robin, milady, 'e's kind an full o'laughter an we all wish to do what we can to make 'im proud o'us."

Will's not good at describing people, he tries but its Robin, its complicated.

Claire grins. "So are you a great archer like him?"

Blushing with a smile this time,

"Nay, milady, I'm a decent archer but tis few who can come close to Robin."

"That's another thing that the stories get right, then," Claire says.

"Tell me something you don't think I'd know."

Pretty girl asking him about home, more smiling,

"Na sure, milady, um Tuck doesna know 'ow to brew properly an I'm as good as John with a staff."

"OK, those I didn't know," Claire agrees. "Is it true John joined you because Robin knocked him into the water?"

"Aye, tis true an we fight rather a lot. Me an Rob are the only ones who can fell 'im."

"Well, the stories say he was huge," Claire says.

"Go on, what other stories have you got?"

"Wouldna call 'im 'uge, milady, but aye 'e's bigger an wider then I am, but still falls just as sure as any man."

"Yeah, you must be pretty good to be able to do that," she admits, impressed.

"Well, I'm a thief so quicker then 'e can be an know 'ow to use 'is size 'gainst 'im."

"He isn't a thief?"

"'e's an outlaw, milady, but I've been a thief since 'fore I became one o'Robin's men."

"You don't have to call me that," Claire finally says. "Just Claire is fine."

Will blushes again, "Aye, m..Claire, just tis 'abit is all. What's yer 'ome like?"

"Like this," Claire says with a shrug. "Only with fewer monsters destroying the world."

"Oh aye, so guess all the modern things I find strange an normal for ye."

Claire nods. "Yeah, but you're not the only person finding it strange.I already gave Sokka the tour of the kitchen."

"'avena met 'im yet but Jona didna know 'bout things either an think Tom's world is closer to mine then anyone I've talked to so far."
