As sad as the statement is, Will wasn't happy often. No, fear, regret, and sorrow normally filled his days and nights. He preferred not to get involved with many people, it was just better that way. If he had no one to let down or be let down by, then it reduced the emotional turmoil he would have to endure or inflict. It was nice, it truly was, being around the two women, they made him feel carefree and dare to let his emotions move freely through him. It was dangerous and exciting and Will wanted to fee like this more often.
"I'll take good care of you. You've never been on a real hunt until you've been on one with a member of the Graham clan!" His excitement still raw and true as he smiled wide and nodded to confirm. "No harm will come to you and I assure you I will let you get as involved as you wish."
As Margaery asked her question about the pup, Will found himself wanting to give in to her. He wanted to let her have her way and bring the pup to the hunt, despite it not being for the best, he didn't want to break it to her that it wouldn't be for the best. So, with a heavy heart, Will gently shook his head. "I'm sorry but it just wouldn't work. She would be too small to make it as a hunting dog anyway, she's the run, albeit a cute runt, a runt all the same. She's still of an exquisit breed and would produce some fine hunting hounds, but I think being your company and protector is her calling in life." The statment was something Will was jealous of, he only just realized that as the words left his mouth. The idea was a silly notion. That someone like him could be with someone like her! Obscene!
Ah, hooray for good old Olenna. Her offer to mind the pup put Will's mind at ease. "There then, all sorted I'd say."
He could sense something about her, it was as if she was trying to protect him? Yet Will couldn't' quite put his finger on what it was that the Queen Regent wished from him. It was troubling and he didn't want it to spoil their evening. So, in a bold sort of request, Will sucking in a breath and puffed out his chest. "My Lady." He addressed Margaery. "After tea, would you be so kind as to escort me around the gardens? I've never seen some of the flowers I spotted in bloom before. I'm very curious as to how they smell."
