If you step through the front door of the Head Quarters, you find yourself emerging onto a wooden decked porch, wrapping around the building, overlooking the grounds spread out before you. Lanterns and potted plants decorating the porch decking. Looking to sit back and relax, enjoy the fresh air prehaps? How about settling onto the cushioned porch swing? A warm blanket already draped over the back in case you get chilly. Or perhaps you'd like to sit down and chat, maybe enjoy some refreshment outside. Why not take a seat at the porch table and enjoy the view? |

Gemma knew that from the moment she saw the porch swing that she had to get on it. t seemed childish but being outside and looking at the grounds was very peaceful for her. So there she was, swinging lightly while humming a little tune. |
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine...... | |

With what appeared to be a horde of people entering the actual room, Shawn paused on the steps and turned as he spied someone else sitting there. He was sporting a camera--of course he was--and had decked out in his mountaineer garb for a costume. Leaning against the railing and folding his arms beneath the camera, he waved and asked simply, "Hey there. Mind if I join you?" |

Gemma wasn't going to lie that she squeaked (yes squeaked) and almost lost her balance. She looked at the man who greeted her and grinned, "Oh hello! You sacred me for a moment!" she said while fixing her brown wig of her Dorothy costume. She was so lost in the beautiful view that she embarrassed herself to someone...again. "No I don't mind, I like company." she said, continued to grin happily. She held out her right hand while she kept her left hand griped on her 'safety line'. "My name is Gemma!" |

"Oh! I'm so sorry." Shawn's shock and horror was evident. "I didn't mean to." Putting his hand up in the air in a gesture of submission, he continued with a hesitant smile as she continued on. "Shawn." Shawn nodded a bow of his head, still smiling. "It's very nice to meet you, Gemma." He sat down beside her, and the two spent a short while talking, introducing themselves and discussing their apparent mutual love of their surroundings outdoors before they excused themselves.

Giselle felt weird if she wasn't working. For some odd reason, she didn't have any work to do here. She didn't even know what here was, truth be told. She just knew that there were people here and last night there had been a party- which she had pretty much avoided- and now everyone was kind of just...living here for the time being? Well, it was rather strange. Having already had her usual workout and her coffee, Giselle was quite at a loss for what to do. Reading seemed a good a thing to do as ever. The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe; her might be all time favorite author. Not bothering with the swing, she sat on the steps, her back against the small banister and began to read. |

Another day in the Auror Headquarters and Lara was really starting to get used to it, to like it there. It was alive, busy, so many people and so much to see, do... So many people to talk to. Again, Lara found herself waking early, dressing and tugging on a snuggly jumper before grabbing a mug of tea from the kitchens and heading outside to the porch. Seeing the porch swing empty, she sang onto the soft cushions, tugging the blanket draped over the back, around her. It was a little chilly. Then sipping her tea, contentedly swung back and forth slowly, gaze sweeping the grounds. |

Will had lagely kept to himself over the last few days. He couldn't explain why, but he had felt uneasy in the last few days. It didn't help of course, that Lara wanted to dress sexy for Halloween and he thought she didn't need it, but in the end he just gave up. The last thing he needed was for Kerrighan to have picked on Lara even more. When she wasn't attached to the guy's face. He grabbed a quick coffee on his way out, and sat beside Lara and stayed silen, staring at the grass. |
![]() Thanks to ANNA for the awesome sig! 5 Reasons I should accept Lara and the baby: 1) I am madly in love with her still 2) It is my baby after all 3) I am willing to pay child support, so why not go one step further and be a dad to the baby? 4) I am hurting Lara more than helping her 5) Did I mention I am madly in love with her and she is always on my mind? | |

Sipping her tea, Lara looked up with a small smile as Will joined her outside, coffee in hand. "Hey..." The murmur was quiet, a little wary... He'd been a bit off the last few days and she worried she'd done something wrong but wasn't sure whether to bring it up. Instead, shuffling closer, Lara silently rested her head on Will's shoulder, offering to share the rest of the blanket, the swing continuing to ... well, swing. "This is nice..." she murured. Peaceful. Just them. |

"Hey..." Will said softly as he sat next to Lara. His hand rested simply on her thigh. He felt tense and he had no idea why, and clearly it was affecting Lara too. That he was upset about. His terrible mood shouldn't be affecting her as well. As she moved up and sat beside him, he let his eyes close as he finished his coffee and dozed off. |

Lara watched silently as Will's hand rested on her thigh, a small smile on her face. It was a certain progression from the fact he wouldn't even sleep with her the other night. Not wanting to push anything, Lar had shuffled closer resting her head on his shoulder, comfortable, sipping her tea. She felt glad when Will didn't move away but instead dozed off beside her. Finishing her own tea, she set it down before drawing the blanket closer, closing her own eyes, just.... listening to the wind... the birds... voices in doors and her fiancee's breathing as he slept. |
