Canon: The Three Musketeers (2011)

[ As always this one's mundane is pining for more castmates. As always the duke is really not particularly interested. ]

As... always the company you would have me keep is peculiar, if I may say. Especially since you rather appear to lack the time to... entertain them. [ He clicks his tongue, and flashes a lopsided grin at nobody in particular. ] I have other engagements I would much rather keep, and I doubt you'll be able to procure them. Why not spend the year with more... fruitful endeavours, eh? [ A brief smile. ] Well, I'd best take my leave and pretend I've... given food for thought.

[ Because that worked so well the first fifty times. ]

Other engagements, mmm?

[airshipswank]

[ He smiles, and shrugs idly. ]

Anything in my power, to... keep myself busy. [ And here, such a deep and lamenting sigh. ] I do wish you were still one of them.

[soldierfirst]

I imagine there's quite a few in your power by now, and that very few of that number truly realize it.

I am quite sure that something amenable to us both could be worked out.

[airshipswank]

[ A chuckle. ]

Ever the flatterer, aren't you? Well, you'd not be wrong...

[ Oh, but enough about them. ]

And what... would you propose?

[soldierfirst]

We both know I speak nothing but the truth. Can you blame my choosing flattering words to shape it?

[But yes there are much more interesting topics to discuss, and one of those topics is right here in front of him.]

A stroll down Baker Street, if the public interests you. A place more private if it does not.
