14 ⚓ Voice ⚓ Recovering honor and lordship in his own domains?

[hearrrtofgold]

Raise your hand if you didn’t die.

In the spirit of supportiveness, if anyone’s still messed up from that port I’ll take over your heavy lifting.

[Private to Francis]
[Temporary pairing, Duke repeats to himself. Temporary. No one’s expecting him to graduate the guy this month. Which is good because he’s not sure he could – he doesn’t like Francis, thinks he’s an ass. In and of itself, however, that’s not a crime.

Even being a politician is not, honestly, a crime. Usually. And Duke has weathered stranger things -- it’s not like anyone asked him to warden Arla.]

You like to talk. Want to do that, or should I just ask if you need anything then back off?

My last clear memory was of wanting to take shelter; I thought I heard voices gabbling in french, and I was seeking out some crevasse to hold. I do know I didn't attack at all. And I remember that she lunged for me; I saw that clear enough, because her dress was glowing.

Private

Did you catch anything the voices said?

Her dress was glowing. [Of course it was.] Had she been violent before?

I didn't catch anything; I thought it was French, and I don't have any French. It was some gabble. But I was sure that it was the enemy.

She'd seemed civilized enough the rest of the time we were together, I don't know her much beyond that.

And I've got virtually none. But if you remember it someone on board might be able to translate.

I'm not surprised.

...Are you going to talk to her?

[Bush has as little chance of remembering the whispers that drove him into the dark as a man has of recalling birdsong and echoing it accurately back, and thinks the notion ridiculous.]

I am going to talk to her warden and tell him she may have my pistol, but what ought I to say to her?
