Mun just had overdue canon review. Canon is A&E's Hornblower series.

I don't know why you're griping about how much it "hurts." You didn't live it.

What's more, I'm not sure I'm quite as excited as you are by the prospect of being chased by a werewolf in the next few months. ...Yes I know you like action, but it's not your skin on the line, is it?

For what it's worth...I'm not really keen on the idea, either.

Yes, I...was given to understand you don't normally chase innocent boys around. No hard feelings, then?

[ a hearty, skeptical laugh. ]

A werewolf, eh?

Only three nights out of the month.

Not my thing really, no.

I'm cool if you're cool.

Perhaps "cool" isn't the word I'd choose, but no hard feelings. And if I hurt you?

[Because nothing is going to happen to Wellard. Nothing.]

Are you certain this isn't just a man a tad too fond of his spirits, lad?

[ sharpe has seen a few men turn monstrous under the drink. and others who didn't need it at all. ]

While I've known many a large, hairy monster given to incomprehensible snarling, no. It's a werewolf.

Impossible. No such beast -- not outside of children's tales.

Understood.

...Not saying I'm a fan. [but he's not saying no, either]

As you say. How's the war going?

...I'll try my very best not to.

[He'll probably get nowhere close, frankly, but nothing is going to happen to Wellard.]

It goes as it always does. Some brass-buttoned bureaucrat needs something done and the doing falls on me. There's no end to it. Or none as I can see.

Fair enough.

Easy enough, giving orders when your neck isn't the one getting the chop.

Or your back the leather.

[ most of sharpe's little 'missions' took him well out of his traditional place in the army. without the duke's personal interference, he probably would have perished under punishment by now. ]
