Ajedrez has managed to gain unbloodstained clothes from...somewhere. Except for the boots. The boots are hers. But the point is, she has gained clothes from somewhere and is sitting on the porch of the Cooper, staring off into the distance with a faint frown.

And, yes, there is a gun on the table next to her.

Habits die hard.

"Ajedrez, pleasure to meet ye."

He does his best with her name but it comes out rather strange with his accent.

"Oh AJ. And, pleased to meet you, too. You can sit, if you want."

"AJ, aye, milady."

Then with a good amount of wincing, Will sits on the steps,

"'ave ye only 'rrived recently?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Oh aye, milady, be ware the wanderin' wood."

"The what?"

Will looks around and points to the Aura forest, wherever it may be at the moment,

"That wood, milady, tis things in there that will 'ttack ye."

"You said wandering..."

"'as been in different places, 'ppears to move, milady."

"...well, fuck."

"Aye, milady, so dinna go in 'less ye've a weapon."

"I'm always armed."

"Aye, good, milady. Fell 'ere without a weapon so been gettin' what I can."

She winces.

"I had mine on me."

He looks down at the bandages on his wrists, "Aye, milady."

"One, at least. I had the other in my head, but I dropped it...I think."

"Oh aye, was strange the moment o'comin' 'ere."

"Si?"

"Fell, 'xpected to find myself in 'ell."

"I...hadn't thought that far. I just couldn't...it hurt."

"Spent a good long time tellin' me that's where I'd be goin' with my 'air that mark's me as the Devil's own."

The last words are carefully quoted in a voice full of pain and anger.

"Executed."

It's not quite a question.

"'anged for servin' Robin Fitzsooth or Robin 'ood, aye, 'anged upon the gallows till dead after I wouldna speak a word to 'em or scream."

"Good for you." And she means it.

"But ended up 'ere as Robin's 'orn filled the air an death seemed too close, now I bleed far from Sherwood's Green."
