Lee Adama has a cup of coffee and a large atlas. He also has a table to sit at, but that's kind of beside the point. He's absently stirring his coffee as he studies the topography of a continent called 'Europe' with singular fascination. Come poke him, see if he jumps.

Maps are always fascinating and Will is a very good mood as he looks at it,

"What world are ye lookin' at, sir?"

[notagod_apollo]

Lee looks up and it takes a moment for his expression to resolve itself into a polite smile from his frown of concentration.

"Earth, sir. I'm trying to learn what I can for when we find the place."

[will_scarlett]

Will's never been called sir and he looks surprised before smiling and answering,

"Tis me 'ome, sir, if I could be o'any 'elp though I'm from farther in the past than many 'ere."

[notagod_apollo]

Lee shrugs a little. At least he's used to people being from Earth by now.

"I've no idea when in Earth's relative time we're looking for it. Um... our histories say our colonies broke apart some three thousand years ago."

He stands, offering a hand to shake.

"Lee Adama"

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, sir, tis year o'our lord 1138 for me, sir and I'm from England, Will Scarlett,"

Will takes Lee's hand, he's finally got the trick of shaking down after being in Milliways this long,

"Colonies, sir, like 'merica?"

[notagod_apollo]

Lee looks a little puzzled.

"I don't know what 'merica is, sir. I was born on Caprica... one of the twelve colonies... um... planets... Most people from Earth have never heard of us at all, so I'd be surprised if you would either."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, sir, so ye travel the stars then? I'm from Nottingham an in me time, farthest folks e'er travelled tis by ship."

The idea of travelling is space just amazes Will since its so far beyond his own world.

[notagod_apollo]

"Yeah. Used to be pretty much just between the colonies and out to the armistice line, but now... we're looking for Earth, even though most of us thought it was just a fairy story until a few months ago."

He looks down at his atlas, pointing at the little island.

"England's this one, right?

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, sir, tis England,"

The map's not too different from what Will's seen and he peers for a moment before pointing at a dot in the center of England,

"Tis me 'ome there, Nottingham."

[notagod_apollo]

He grins, a little satisfaction coming from that little identification.

"You've lived there all your life?"

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, sir, farthest way I've e'er been twas Lincoln. Think all that green's meant to be Sherwood."

Will's looking at the map again, tracing the green and smiling,

"Tis Sherwood forest, she keeps us safe though woulda 'xpected 'er to be larger on a map."

[notagod_apollo]

"I think it's all based on perspective. Things usually seem bigger in real life."

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, sir, would do it, just she's such a large forest, seems a wee bit o'green for 'er."

[notagod_apollo]

He smiles a bit.

"You love it very much, your home?"

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, sir, she's Sherwood,"

Will's got a complicated look as he turns to his door since oh he loves Sherwood but not what's happening around her.

[notagod_apollo]

Lee's almost wistful as he looks down on the map.

"I never really lived anywhere long enough to call one place home. Caprica more than others, I guess..."
