Will was looking out the window in the new hideout, thinking things through.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 5:48 pm**

"Not a bad view is it" Simon asked, not having announced himself before entering the room. "Not as nice as the old place but still, not too bad all things considered."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 5:51 pm**

"N...no, Si... no, you've got good taste..."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:12 pm**

"What's the matter?" Simon asked, seemingly preoccupied with some papers in his hands.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:16 pm**

"Hrm? The, uh, the matter? No...nothing, Si...everythin...everything's arlight," he said, smiling a fake smile.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:21 pm**

Simon just raised an eyebrow at Will and said nothing, giving him that look that came whenever Will tried to lie to him. Which wasn't often.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:22 pm**

"W....wh....what?" Will said, super-nervous.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:25 pm**

Simon's expression remained as he looked down, slowly and carefully folding the papers before tucking them into the inside breast pocket of his suit jacket. He then proceeded to remove the jacket entirely and tossed it onto a nearby chair, crossing his arms in front of his chest before staring at Will again.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:26 pm**

"...you left me..." he said, meekly.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:29 pm**

"Oh pumpkin." Simon shook his head slowly. "You know I wouldn't abandon you. Look at my clothes, my tools, my body. I take good care of everything else I own, don't I? Why would that change with you?"

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:30 pm**

"Did I displease you? Is...it's something about this universe. It's...grimy. It's just..." he shuddered.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:38 pm**

"Will honey, did you ever stop to think that the only reason I would leave you alone is because I know you could look after yourself?"

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:45 pm**

"But I can't..."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:53 pm**

"You're here now, aren't you?" Simon said, gesturing with his hands and tail.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 6:58 pm**

"Y...yeah..."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:01 pm**

"And Will honey, you can turn into diamonds if you want to. You're indestructible and unstoppable.

"I would like to think that, if I need to, I can assign you tasks for you to complete on your own."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:02 pm**

"Yeah, but you didn't TELL me..." he whined.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:12 pm**

"Think of it as a test, Will. A test you passed."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:17 pm**

"..I passed?" he said, a spark of hope firing up.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:23 pm**

"Well, yeah. You were left on your own with just your wits and Belial's savagery. You still managed to get the job done and not only get back here undetected but bring him as well. I'd say you did an excellent job."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:30 pm**

"....we wanted me to bring him back, right?" he said, with a sly smile.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:32 pm**

"We may still have some use for him." Simon smirked.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:36 pm**

"I dunno...he frightens me. Sometimes."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:50 pm**

"Me too. But he's very, very powerful. If we harness that power, we can accomplish a lot."

Simon stepped a little closer, placing his hand on Will's shoulder. "And it's always good to have someone on standby to take the fall, should we need one."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:52 pm**

Will nodded, leaning into Simon's hand.

"...plus, he tastes nasty. I don't think he showers."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:53 pm**

"Well then, I guess you'll have to stick to someone you know tastes good."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:57 pm**

Will nodded. "Someone who takes care of everything."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 8:04 pm**

"Who takes good care of everything they own. You included."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 8:04 pm**

Will nodded, and sighed, happily.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 8:13 pm**

Simon reached up and messed up Will's hair.

"There. Feeling better?"

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 8:22 pm**

"Much," he said, leaning into Simon.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 8:29 pm**

"That's my little pet." Simon said, hugging Will with his tail.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 8:53 pm**

"Arf," Will grinned.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 9:05 pm**

"Don't tempt me into crafting you into a little puppygirl. I've seen things here. This universe's internet is... interesting."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 9:09 pm**

"Just this universes?" he said, smugly.

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 9:14 pm**

"Oh, the things I've seen. You'd be big in Japan."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 9:19 pm**

"That's only when you choose to take me places..."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 9:27 pm**

"Well we've been trying to keep a low profile, even more so now. And baby, you turn some heads."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 9:39 pm**

"I don't HAVE to...," he grinned again. "I can hide all SORTS of places..."

Posted: **Thu Jun 09, 2011 9:42 pm**

"But you're so much fun when you're incredibly eye-catching." Simon said quietly.

"But I suppose I could be convinced to try something new."
