[ None of this is particularly out of the ordinary for Willie, recently. It's a different mansion (Barnabas can grant some time off, apparently), a different landscape, but it's the same fog, the same smell of mothballs radiating from every corner, the same sense of overwhelming emptiness that follows Willie from room to room.
So he escapes to the grounds, to the grass that seems to remain slick with fresh rain and mud. He grants himself permission to explore but makes sure to keep his hands firmly in his pockets, all too aware of what happened the last time his fingers got sticky. And for a while, it's nice to just exist, even if something gnaws a pit in his stomach or he feels something leering between his shoulder blades. It's fine. Normal. He's gotten used to it.
An entire hand lying on the lawn, attached to an arm leading beneath the earth, though, that's above his pay grade.
And that's what brings Willie hurrying back to the manor, glancing over his shoulder as he pushes his way through the door. He's polite, stamps his feet on the mat, and then makes a beeline for the first person who catches his eye. ] Hey, you — uh — know where there's a shovel or somethin'?
