War Drums

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as classroom space for the University. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for University students on a meal plan. The old library has been bolstered with college textbooks.

"Oh, I don't mean that I'd do literally anything. I just don't think you've got it in you to ask me for a bridge too far, or something i'd otherwise be opposed to," he laughed. "Just not in your nature."

Will paused for a minute, regarding Sam. "What do you mean by that?"

Will thought for a minute.

"You said, earlier, that you were worried about your girlfriend treating you like you're made of glass. So, maybe you can understand it when I say that...people treat me like I'm..."

He paused again.

"People treat me like I'm other people. People treat me like I'm Joe the mailman or Bonnie the dentist or something; just another regular person, walking up and down the street. Like the same rules apply to me as they do to other people. Like they'd take advantage of me, or that they'd hurt me or that they'd somehow break some unwritten rule that keeps society whizzing on by.

I'm different, and the way I've coped with being different is steering into it. In accepting that I'm different. Not better, not worse, just...different. It took a long time, but, you know, time is one thing I've had plenty of.

And I'm back at square one now, when it comes to other people, but that's OK. I've got all the time in the world.

So if I seem...accommodating, you're basing that on...on a scale which maybe doesn't apply to me so much. Maybe doesn't really fit who I am and what I do. Maybe doesn't really...matter to me as it does to other people.


...That got deep for the music room. Apologies for rambling."

"But you can see where people wouldn't really know the line is, aye? You're willing to do more for people than most people would. A lot more."

"I do," Will nodded. "It's a different paradigm.

I think I can be trusted to say when it's too much, though, aye?"

"Is that advice to play things safe from the Morrigan?" Will grinned.

"It's not a Morrigan thing, it's just..."

"I don't like finding out I've hurt you after I've already done it, Will."

Will's grin stayed in place, though it was clearly a little more forced, now. "That's just kind of life, to a certain extent. You bumble around long enough in the kitchen, and some eggs will be broken. Life goes on."

"Then my work here is done," Will said, sliding off the piano he had been sitting on. "You're getting pretty good -- keep practicing, and I'm sure you guys will hit the big time in no time."

"Yeah, because gigs are usually free from hecklers, I find," Will laughed. "Especially the metal scene."
