Signing the papers, Will smiled as he took possession of the keys to his new place. It was gorgeous, bigger than his previous home and with more room to grow into. And it had land and beach access, both of which was important to Will. But more importantly it wasn't a bachelor pad, it was a family home and that was something his campaign wanted him to promote as something he was looking towards. It didn't matter that his marriage to Corry had fallen apart, this was about looking towards the future.

Taking out his phone, he texted a couple of pictures to Ed and to Trina, before sending it out to Essie and Corry and a couple of others. Smiling, he pulled up the drive before climbing out of his car. Untucking his shirt, he pulled it off over his head before heading down towards the beach where he could go swim if he wanted to. He'd invite everyone over tonight maybe, have a beach barbecue and get settled in.

That sounded perfect. A new start, a new beginning. Just what he wanted.



OOC: BARBECUE AT WILL'S NEW PLACE. EVERYONE IS INVITED. HIS NEW PLACE IS GORGEOUS. COME PLAY.

"Both. It looks lovely, your new home. I just wanted to -" Will was always too wild and friendly for Aoife to know how to react to it.

"I guess I expected it to be more a Cabot event than a Will party, handler of the prickly pear. I don't want to ruin the fun you and all of your friends no doubt will have."

She gestures at the gift left. "I didn't know what to get you."

[willcabot]

"What kind of party is a Will party?" Will asked, picking Aoife up so her feet were on top of his before he waddled forward into the party proper and carrying her the whole time. Like a rather cheerful blonde penguin. "I don't need anything, just friends coming to eat and have a casual drink."

[aoife_coombs]

"Half to completely naked people, getting drunk and fr- William!" He was acting like she was still a child and it was embarrassing, even though it made her laugh and feel happier than she has been in a long time. "I'm in a pant suit!"

[willcabot]

"Excuse you, I am running for mayor you know. I have to have a little decorum." Will said, carrying her back into the party where all of his guests were either wearing clothes albeit a little more casual than Aoife or where in his pool and casually talking or hanging out. No one drunk or out of control or naked at all. "There, see no wild debauched party. But the jacket has to go. You can keep the pants."

Will pressed a cheek against her cheek teasing. "For now."

[aoife_coombs]

"And that's why -" Being so close to a man made her body go all tingly, even though the man was almost close enough to the family to be viewed as a member of it. I miss you, Isaiah, I miss you.

"Are we sure we walked into the right house?", she teased. "Or is everyone high on drugs? I never know where those wild siren parties may end."
Rolling her eyes, she shook off her jacket and offered it to him. "Where does this go?"

[willcabot]

"Into the barbecue pit..." Will began taking her jacket from her fingers and lifting it above his head before she could protest. Grinning at her, he held it a loft and waited to see if she would try and get it back. Like when they were all kids. Keep away never got old when you were eternally a child at heart.

[aoife_coombs]

"You're threatening a weather witch next to a fire. I never thought I would discover how a fried siren looks like." She crosses her arms. 
"I know you have a lot of cheek,  future mayor, but I also know you would never consciously destroy someone else's property. It isn't how you are. Please take my jacket out of the smoke before I have to let it be taken to the cleaners, William. "

[willcabot]

"Looks and tastes delicious," Will replied, holding the jacket aloft but away from the smoke. He was only teasing after all, he wasn't about to burn her jacket even if he personally thought it left lots to be desired. Aoife was a beautiful gir- woman, she deserved better. "I'd ask what the magic word is but I think that's tempting you too much."

Will leaned over Aoife to drape her jacket carefully onto to a chair. Standing straighter, he brushed a kiss against her cheek. "Only teasing, okay little weather witch no need to barbecue me."

[aoife_coombs]

"The Cabot boys are all so incredibly cheeky and I thought Ed was the worst of them, but you're coming for his crown." She smiled into his kiss. "Thank you for having me, Will Cabot. What kind of presents have you already received?"

She pulled the chair back a little far away before sitting down. "I don't think I would have even managed to, if I would want to. So many sirens here, and I forgot to wear my wardens."

"Where do you think he learned it from? I am the- the eldest now." Will began voice trailing a little at the reminder that his brother wasn't there to share it with them. His younger brother and youngest were around somewhere but Alex was happy in Atlantis and Henry... he missed his older brother every day. "A couple of bread knives, couple of pieces of gaudy artwork, a naked statue or two, a lot of alcohol."

Smiling, he rubbed Aoife's arm before giving her an entirely charming and disarming smile.

"Don't worry I'll protect you from our charms."

[aoife_coombs]

"My apologies, William." Uncareful thinking on Aoife's, her mother would have been disappointed. More disappointed than in her usual state, anyway.

"Bread knives and naked statues? Do people think that you're moving to campus soon? What horrible gifts, and I say this absolutely objective. Although I can understand a little how challenging it is to find a gift for the man that has almost anything."

She looks up at him from under her bangs. "You better. I don't want to be the start something between witch and water."
