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.

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."

"So you're not alone at least," Claire fills in.

"It's not that exciting, really."

A slightly painful shrug, "Tis different is all an na 'nough trees at all."

Claire cringes a little at the awkwardness of the shrug.

"What did you do to your back?"

And back comes the awkward,

"Um well, got caught by the Sheriff an 'e 'eld me for three days an um.."

There is no good way to say in the English language to say and flogged me till I bled, so he won't, now she'll get all quiet like Jona did.

"Oh," Claire says quickly, cuttin ghim off before the 'um' can be followed by awkward silence.

"Sorry, shouldn't have asked."
