Summary: Jan and Methos talk ... with a little help from Loki


It still made Jan nervous that he could feel Benjamin’s presence almost every time he left or returned to his room. Surely the other immortal could feel him too and what if he passed any information about his habits he learned from it on to McLeod?

He still hoped that Benjamin was more neutral than on McLeod’s side, but he was an immortal ...

Whatever Benjamin’s intentions towards him were, though, Jan couldn’t let them keep him from his shooting practice. He steeled himself and walked out of his room.

Jan shook his head, but couldn't completely repress his laugh. Same old Benjamin.

"Then, I think we'd better change into dry clothes before someone sees us. And then make sure we aren't here when Miss Heerkens cleans this floor."

Methos nodded. "Let's do that," he agreed. "And spend as much of the day outdoors as we can so we won't accidentally walk into her at the worst possible moment."

The word outdoors reminded Jan that he still wasn't sure how far from the house he could dare to go.

"Where exactly outside where you thinking of?" he asked, his hand on the doorknob.

[old_and_wise]

"Away from Ms. Heerkens' eyes, I'd say." He thought for a moment. "Maybe the village?"

[jan_skovasja]

The village? With another immortal - even if it was Benjamin ... No!

"I'd rather not leave the grounds," he said. "Not with McLeod and Dawson here. I don't want a fight."

Should he suggest the shooting range? Was he good enough to let Benjamin see him shoot?

[old_and_wise]

Methos barely suppressed a chuckle.

"Dawson would cut off his own hand before he cuts out any of our heads. And Duncan didn't even take my head when I offered it to him on a silver platter. You're very safe from fights with both, no matter where you go."

He sighed.

"But oh, well, okay, the grounds it is, then."

"I'm sorry I'm so troublesome," Jan apologised. "But I just can't bring myself to suddenly trust strangers."

Then he darted into his room to change quickly before they were caught after all.
