"And not a bad singer, as well. And only partially flattery, there," she smiled.

"I see your point. But the parts of you that are of Ireland have more experience with this idea."

"I'm in Ireland's blood. I'm the one who refused retreat. If you look for me, I can be found."

Will smiled. "Of course."

"I was afraid of your wild side, at first. But I came around, eventually, to your idea of fun. Again with the beating people over the head until something sticks."

"You have people who care about you here. It can be a comfortable place to spend a stretch.

Will cocked her head slightly, not quite getting Sam's drift. "Yes? I don't want to sound like a brochure, but I quite like it here."

"I'm not sure you'd find lying about all day comfortable, no? Some people are comfortable sitting on cushions. Some people are comfortable running through the woods. Some people are comfortable in a spin cycle in a washing machine. To each their own, yes?"

"I'd take it. A guide to help me along the path.

I wouldn't mind a warm bed to come home to after harsh days, but that role is taken."

"I'll admit, in this particular case, it's because she forced my shifting -- she needed a suit, and bent me to her will. Not that I regret it, or that it wasn't fun, just...

I wouldn't. Sneak in anywhere without your permission. Especially when I'm telepathically blocked."

"I tried that, once upon a time. Several once upon a times. It never...really worked.

Are you saying...you want me to try?"

The corner of her mouth slipped into a smile. "Oh, I'm sure I wouldn't prove much of a challenge. But trying might be...an interesting diversion."

"I'll keep that in mind," Will nodded, mock-solemnly.

"Anyway, thank you. For coming. It was good to see you, if only for a bit," she said, getting to her feet.
