A worried Halt
Warnings: One or two bad words
Spoilers: none
Will was asleep in a chair on the porch of his cabin. It was the middle of the day, and there was nothing else to do. So Will thought he would just catch a few hours of rest. He had been kept up all night by the sound of Ebony howling.
Halt quietly walked down the little path that led to the cabin. His cloak was wrapped around him, and his cowl was covering his face from view. He saw Will asleep in a chair.
Loosing his senses, thought Halt.
Halt then quietly walked down to the porch and stood right in front of Will. He then threw back his cowl and stared at Will. Most of the time when you stared at someone while they were asleep, they would sense a staring presence, and would wake up.
Will was still oblivious to his former teacher's sudden presence.
Halt continued to stare at Will, with his face just inches away from Will's.
How could Will be so careless? Has he forgotten his training? Someone could easily come up and slit his throat before he could even wake up. Thought Halt.
Halt became annoyed with Will and belched loudly, echoing off of the trees and causing a flock of crows to fly off in fear. Tug looked over and whinnied loudly, curious as to what kind of abnormal noise just erupted from his masters' throat.
Halt then just became frustrated and he raised his hand, and slapped Will across the face as hard as he could.
"Oww! What the hell!" screamed Will as he massaged his now red face. It was already starting to form a giant welt. Will slowly regained complete consciousness and slowly studied the slim, cloaked figure in front of him. He realized it was Halt.
"Morning sleeping beauty. Sleep well?" asked Halt in an innocent tone.
"Halt! Damn you! I tell you, Damn you! Jerk, that hurt!" yelled Will in an aggravated tone.
"Yeah okay, whatever. Anyways I'm in the mood for coffee. Let's go get some in town at Jenny's restaurant. Okay? Yeah come on let's go lazy." said Halt. Halt obviously had a bunch of energy. Will was still mad at Halt.
"Fine jerk, but let me get my cloak first." said Will as he rubbed his eyes.
"Erh.. You're wearing it." Halt told him.
Will looked down and realized he was, in fact, already wearing it.
"Oh."
"Will, what has happened to you? You've lost your senses."
"Shut up, I'm tired."
"Sure you are, now come on lazy bones, let's go." said Halt. He was now bouncing up and down waiting eagerly for Will to hurry up.
Will started heading towards Tug, but then was stopped by Halt's voice.
"Oh come on, let's walk. You've become lazy, you need to walk."
"I'm tempted to slap you." grouched Will.
