Gordon is finding the farm an incredibly relaxing place. He's pulling up weeds in the back yard, because it looks like nobody's done it for a while and he's not a man who can sit still on someone else's time.

It's odd; since they broke free of Gotham and he abandoned his city, he should be feeling worse. But he's not.

Maybe there was something to that invisible monster story after all.

He's humming, faintly, under his breath.

Will keeps steadily doing better, his back has been bleeding far less and he's looking forward to going on the expedition with Kate and Sam. So he smiles to see Gordon working and comes over,

"Anythin' good growin' in there, sir?"

"Oh aye, sir, in Sherwood, Tuck's got a wee garden."

Will is a little slow as he kneels down but he does move his hand in the earth a bit.

"Aye, sir, miss it a good bit, 'ome for me is Nottingham, England, in the reign o'King Richard, fell 'ere."

He's not sure what's weeds and what's not, but best to look down so this kind man doesn't see his hurting.

Since Will's not actually looking at Gordon, he doesn't see that look,

"Forgive my manners, I'm Will Scarlett."

He's slow to offer a hand, not a habit of his time and he's still wearing bandages on his wrists.

"Pleasure to meet ye, sir, 'ow long 'ave ye been at the farm?"

He does see a little of the doubt and something in Jim's eyes this time and Will focuses on the ground again. Though he's thinking, perhaps Jim is seeing how obviously broken he is, after all he's still healing and clearly broken.

"Been a while, sir. I've 'ealed up a good bit since I fell."

Well, then its just Will's own self doubt, he's got a lot of that.

Will's just going to look at the ground again and twist the bandage on his wrist, the one's on his back are less easy to notice now as they're a bit less,

"Aye, sir, 'fore I came 'ere."

"Aye, sir, tis at that."

Also not talking about what happened is good and he keeps weeding, looking over at Jim again, trying to figure out the kind of man he would be in Nottingham.

Which just makes Will quite nervous and so does his best to look innocent, he's kind of out of practice and his memories of being held are rather strong,

"Aye, sir, most folks seem nice just na like what I'm used to."

Will's just going to stop and twist the bandage on his wrist for a good bit,

"Um nay, sir, or e'en Nottingham."

His hand moves very quickly away from the bandage, "Oh aye, sir, forgive me, just a nervous 'abit."

The firm voice and the fact that Gordon makes Will feel a bit like he's been caught again means he's not sure what to do.

So he just looks down again, trying to think of away to not get into trouble again.

Which is easy enough, talking will just makes things worse, he's a good worker at least.
