Dictated;

[lightbranded]

Its nice to have spring weather again, isn't it?  

[Will pauses awkwardly in his dictation.  Even after so many months in the castle he still found it uncomfortable to admit what his loss was.]

I was thinking that it would be fun to go for a walk in town.  But I don't do so well with going places alone anymore.  Would anyone be willing to go with me?

I'm heading down right now.

[And with that Will closes his journal and starts walking towards the lobby.]

[Peggy was waiting for him in the lobby, with a bag ready for the purchases she hoped to make in town.]

Will, ready to go then?

[ Action]

[Will finishes zipping up his jacket and grins.]

I am, that. Let's go.

[ Action from here on out]

[peggy_carter]

Excellent.

[She set out at a leisurely pace to not rush him.]

Did you get caught up in the spirals that seem to have caused the latest stir?

[lightbranded]

No, I heard about them over the journals. But for some reason it seems like my room locked me in for the entire time.

[peggy_carter]

Rather glad of that, for you. It was strange and in some aspects even frightening. It seemed they took over everyone's minds.

[lightbranded]

I think I would have rather seen it for myself, all the same. It was rather upsetting only being able to keep track of things through the journals.

[peggy_carter]

I can understand that, though I for one am glad you were safe during it.

[lightbranded]

[Will shakes his head.]

There really isn't much need to worry about me.

[peggy_carter]

I knew a man who was twice my size and weight and a soldier beyond the feats of normal men and I still worried about him. It's a gift I have.

[lightbranded]

Will offers her a sad smile. He was never quite sure how to explain what he was to people from other worlds. Or even to the people from his own world who knew nothing of magic.

He could not die.

He's never had reason to test that, but it was a knowledge that always lay in the back of his head. And that always made him feel vaguely uncomfortable when people worried over him. He always wondered if it wouldn't be better if they saved the worry for someone else.

"I suppose its a gift a lot of people have. But it is not bad, I think."

[peggy_carter]

No it isn't, even worry in vain is a show of not only caring but of trust. Even if I worry I can trust enough that someone I care about can take care of themselves. It reminds me that we are stronger than we think sometimes.

[lightbranded]

"Loving bonds," Will says clearly.

"They are the things by which people worry about each other. And sometimes they can be more powerful than anything else in the universe."
