[death_glare]

Set within the world of thefarshore, William's daughter from his mortal life, Abigail, has suddenly arrived. Assigned as Grell's new shinki, the 4 year old girl has no recollection of her former life, her passing, or her father.

This will serve as the master post for all threads related to this plot.

[ Grell has guessed why William is running from her, yes - but that is precisely why she'll pursue after him. Privacy be damned; she'll merely teleport to the other side of said door!

Opening her mouth to address him, she cuts herself short - instead, reaching out to place a hand over his chest. Her own eyes are emotional, damp and reddened, as sympathy seeps through her every feature. If he won't resist it, she'll throw her arms around him, to pull him in close for an embrace. ]

[ There's no effort given towards rejecting Grell's embrace. Instead, William allows her to cling onto him, while his own arms remain at his sides. He really doesn't need to ask, as he can tell just by the brief look he got at Grell's face, that she must have seen everything. Still, the words come out anyway. ]

You named her, then?

[ Burying her face against his shoulder, she takes a shaky breath. ]

I'm so sorry, Will - I truly didn't know, when I'd called you...

[ Yes, her answer went without saying. She's much more concerned about his wellbeing, at present, and she's far too emotional to make proper sense of what to do with herself. ]

This entire thing is unfair to you. She should be yours, and I've-- oh, goodness, you must hate me.

[death_glare]

No.

[ His response is almost immediate. ]

I would rather she be here with you. I won't have her in my temple with that demon slinking about. Besides, I...

[ There's a shaking breath as he pauses. His eyes shut, his shoulders slump, and cheek manages to rest itself heavily against the top of Grell's head. ]

...I don't think I could bear watching that scene again.

[ The reassurance simply leaves Grell astounded- with a sharp breath, she blinks back more tears. Having him reciprocate in that embrace, even minimally, has the reaper turning her head to curl up more closely against him, however; arms shifting across his back so that her hands may press into him with some comfort. ]

Thank you for trusting me. [ She mutters softly, after allowing a few moments to pass. ] I'll protect her with my life, Will, I swear it.

[death_glare]

I know.

[ Odd how an action he usually finds beyond irritating from Grell is suddenly calming to him. He remains in the embrace for nearly a minute before finally pulling back. ]

Was she alright after I left?

[ That lingering fear of leaving her alone has him glancing towards the door. ]
