[She sits quietly next to him, legs pulled up under her, watching the people go by. It's a bit crowded, and she shifts closer, ever wary. Not that she's the most educated on what could be stressful to people who've been through what he's been through, but a place like this has her guard up.
She's probably just overly concerned over nothing, though. He's been fine since he's been back. She's just... concerned. Maybe a bit overprotective after everything. Don't hold it against her, Liam.]
[He won't, Rose, He's acutely aware of your worry, but it's not bothering him at all.
At the moment, his body language is that of a greyhound coiled to spring after a hare before it's been released. He's leaning forward, elbows resting on knees, his hands passing his cane back and forth between them. If he'd let it, his foot would be bouncing like a spring.
He looks over at her and smiles easily, stopping his cane-passing game for the moment, the tossing-hand paused mid-toss, the cane caught in the other.]
[She does seem to relax a bit when he calms down on the fidgeting and tries for a smile. Smiling is good, and she shoots one back, relaxing into the bench, draping her arm across the back. He was alright, and she was alright, so that was... good. And certainly not indicative of a residual fear of abandonment or anything.]
I'm brilliant. Better than brilliant.
[A pause, and she perks up, glancing behind her, through the park.]
D'you smell candyfloss?
/ALL of them, and dammit now I hadta tag! but GOTTAGOBYE!
[He laughs and leans back in the bench as well. Still slightly wound but. Relaxed. If that's even possible.] Good, I wouldn't want ye to feel anything but.
[Liam sniffs the air when she mentions candyfloss, idly looking about for any sign of the telltale pink fluff. He doesn't see anyone around with it but that doesn't mean there isn't a vendor nearby.
He sniffs again, this time in that aloof way that means he might be teasing soon.] No, I'm no' detectin' anything distinctly candyfloss-scented. I think pudgy over there farted as he walked past though. [He inclines his head towards the rotund man that had just walked past.]
[She scoffs and elbows him gently in the side, stifling laughter with a cough which didn't seem to fool anyone.] Oi. Be nice. Blimey, can't take you anywhere public, can I?
[She chewed her lip and narrowed one eye as she searched the park.] I am absolutely positive I smell candyfloss- ha!
[She points to a vendor about fifty yards away, half-obscured by a fountain.] Losing your skills, Hawkeye. I'll be right back. I'm going on a quest for candyfloss.
[She darts in to press her lips against his cheek before shoving off the bench.]
[He's shifting the handle of his cane from one hand to the other somewhat idly, he's had it for a few weeks, one supposes he's getting used to the heft of it as he sits]
Ooc: long story short as I'm on an iPod: IED. Nerve damage to his leg, captured and held prisoner for about a year, recently rescued and readjusting to life, etc...
Okay so when did he serve? Where? Wasn't aware Scotland was in the Gulf
[He sits back, hooking one arm over the back of the bench, the other continues to toy idly with the cane.]
No, we didn't. And I don' mind at all. One of my mates triggered an IED wi' a football--er, a soccer ball, sorry--an' I was nearby. No' quite as spry as I used t'be.
ooc: This is sort of an alternate/futureverse for Liam, haven't decided if he'll be a copper here yet. He got captured after getting injured a year ago and was found and rescued (by US troops) about a month ago. I'm keeping his deployment location generic until I settle on a place, probably Afghanistan. And I might be taking a little artistic license with the battalion he's serving with and their actual deployments. I haven't researched everything completely yet (thus also why the generic deployment). The whole 'verse started out from a meme thread from the other day.
The US isn't the only military presence in the Middle East, UK troops have been there (and everywhere!) on and off for ages... Prince Harry was even deployed on the front lines in the last few years. Here's a Google search on Scottish troops in Afghanistan. Oh and here's an official site/page for the Black Watch Battalion, who Liam's with.
I don't mind sharing at all. [He sits back on the bench, draping an elbow over the back, and points subtly with the hand he's got resting on the cane.] Ye see tha' couple over there? I'm fairly certain she's tryin' to get 'im to commit to 'er, bu' he's pinin' over someone else.
