2 months gone... [post season 2, pre season 3]

If the dark shape of the man passed out at the foot of a tree not too far from the lake looks like he stinks, it is probably because he does. Too much wine, beer and mead; all mingled up with stale sweat, anger and heartbreak.

The wine helps him sleep. The beer pushes him over into being so wasted he doesn't care anymore. The mead, mostly, is for a change from the monotony.

The rest is thanks to the nightmares of a foreign land, a woman who wouldn't love him and that moment, just after waking, when you remember everything.

His skin is cold and clammy to the touch.

It's been a long day, but quiet, as thankfully the door stole her after being called the Sheriff for morning reports. Long enough that she was made to play song bird, before she was given The House of Arch to take respite in.

She spent the morning and afternoon there in the gardens with tea she hardly drank. When she finally grew sick of her own hiding, and the absolute necessity of the life that needed it, she forced herself back to Milliways.

To a dinner in the main room, followed by taking a walk around the lake. The lake was fine and so was she, even at the point when she realized the passed out person, and went to help. She only stopped when she got to about twenty feet from him.

"You can't be serious."
