Ooh, chilly -- me likes. And, not necessarily OOC at all (though I'm not especially a Will-specialist -- well, heck, I'm no character specialist at all, lol...). I can see post-AWE, eternally-CotFD Will accepting Elizabeth going with Jack, if that's what she wishes, or even encouraging her doing that, if that seems to be a good thing for her in her current situation (whatever it might be) but I don't see him (Will) being such a pussy-whipped martyr that he'd still run to her help in every instance. He has some more edge to his character, that's for sure.

I had to read this twice again and I really like this Will now O__O. A bit cold, actually; all business, matter-of-fact, no overwhelming emotionalism. Mmm, a powerful figure...
