Current Location: Cooper farm

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'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."

"Well, that's no good." Gordon goes back to his weeding. "Lucky you're here now, then. This place seems to be mostly benevolent."

"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.

Gordon is a cop with every smidgeon of his being. You could never look at him and think anything but 'cop'. Poor guy.

"Kansas, anyway. I'm not sure about the rest of the place yet."

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."

"Yeah, I bet," Gordon says mildly. "Not much like Sherwood Forest, huh?"

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

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

"Stop doing that, you won't heal right," Gordon says firmly. "Leave the bandages alone."

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

"Find better nervous habits," Gordon says, still firm and vaguely parental. "I took up smoking." Never quite kicked it.

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.

Gordon is happy to silently garden; he gestures vaguely at a patch of thicker weeds for Will to start on if he wants, too.

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