"I was just relieved once they married." A voice says from the trees. A hooded Ranger, the gold oakleaf of retirement around his neck, comes forward and embraces Will warmly. "Congrats, Will."
"Thank you, Halt." Will grins. "Glad you finally made it."
"I almost didn't, knowing you were commander."
The two laugh heartily, then Will turns to the current Rangers-in-duty. "This is Halt, my old mentor. He taught me everything I needed to know. I know some of you know him, while with others this is your first Gathering."
Halt just stands there looking grim and foreboding, shooting a glare at Will, who in turn just smiles. "While Halt looks grim and cold, he's actually quite the softy."
"Softy? I am certainly not!" Halt says with an air of indignation.
Will smiles and shakes his head.
((I'll never get my character into this.... I'm having too much fun with these two. :xd: but maybe after the Gathering.... and I need to refresh who my character is.... Oh! And am I doing Halt and Will okay? I'll take any advice.))
