[ this time abigail is the one left speechless. it's not the "i love you", she's heard that and it's heartening every time she hears it. but she's not unaware of will's reticence to act fatherly toward her because of

reasons.

eventually, perhaps too late, she murmurs, ] Okay.

[infomodder]

I'll send Frederick a message along the way, too.

[In a murmur that matches her own exactly, pulling back to look at her face.]

So you don't have to worry about anyone else, got it?

[He wants to stay, just like this. He wants to be grounded here, to ground Abigail in return, anchor them both in safety...but it's only a matter of time before he comes knocking. Nowhere is safe for them now, not like it had been. His heart hurts, heavy in his chest, but his feet aren't the same. That smile loses it strain and Will detaches. His trip from her room won't be rushed...as soon as he gets out the door of their home, however, that will change.]

[ her head bobs in an unsteady nod, already worrying about many other anyone elses. anyone else they've ever spoken to. april and grey and thomas.

april.

her chin quivers but she nods again, pushing out a slow and shaky breath. ]

Yeah.

[infomodder]

[He stops at her door for a moment, staring. He keeps that calm as best he can, but she knows. She must know the potential outcomes. Will might as well be leaving for war for all he might return, or return in damaged condition.

One last look, that's all. He raises a hand, wiggling his fingers in a goodbye wave that's weak but better than nothing, and he's gone.]
