After around 30 minutes, Will started to come back completely to this reality. Halt had been talking softly to him, making sure he wouldn't drift away in his flashbacks again. His fingers were still combing through Wills hair, making his brown curly hair all frizzy and poofy. But Halt didn't care about that, it has helped Will come back to this reality and that is what mattered the most.

Will wasn't talking though. Halt was a little concerned about that. Its been an hour since the episode has started, so why wasn't he talking? Why wasn't he asking him 2 questions at the same time?

Suddenly, Will coughed. Halt snapped back from his thoughts and looked at Will. His eyes where open now, Halt saw. They where blood shot, and his eyelashes where clumped together. The innocent, brown eyes stared at Halt. These eyes had seen way to much the past hour, he thought.

''How are you feeling, Will?'' Halt asked, without knowing if Will was woken enough to talk. Maybe he was in shock..

"I'm c-cold''

''I will get you some blankets, I will be right back okay? Stay here and if something is wrong, just call out for me.'' As he said that, he stood up. Will needed blankets. So he would get some blankets.

He searched for some blankets, and ended up with 3. The first blanket he found was Halts favorite, because Pauline made it. And he knew Will loves it too. Maybe the smell would help him recover faster? The other 2 where made by Will himself.

A few weeks before, around 6, Will had learned how to knit. Lady Pauline had thought him, when he was injured and couldn't do anything for a week. But it became an obsession. He started knitting at night. In the morning. Whenever he had time. And within a week, the whole ranger corpse got a custom made blanky from Will. So of course Halt got one too. His was pink, with yellow stripes in between, representing Halts ''childish behavior''. But Halt kept saying that he hated it and wanting to throw it away, but in secret, he loved it. It was his favorite, sharing the 1st place with Paulines of course, and he slept with it every night. But in top secret because if Will or Crowley would find out, it wouldn't be a good day for him. So, he would sleep with his blanket under another blanket to hide it.

And the other blanket was custom made by Will for himself. It was blue.

''I got some blankets for you Will, just try to get some sleep if your tired. I will stay with you for as long as you want me to." He gently placed the 3 blankets on top of his shivering body. Will closed his eyes, just like Halt had told him to do. ''It's the blanket from Pauline... I love it. Thank you for picking this one, Halt. It makes me feel even s-saver.''

''Im glad you like it, Will. Now go on, get some rest. Because when your all cleared up, you'll have to do your chores again.'' Halt said.

And with that being said, Will smiled. He was safe, with Halt and with his favorite blankets.
