An explosion? That's your motivation? To be honest I'm not sure whether I should feel impressed or concerned.

[ He pauses, feigning a moment of deep consideration as his lips quirk into a wry smile. ]

A bit of both, perhaps. [ His smile widens just so, because come on who wouldn't want to make some absurdly grandiose escape via fire? ]

Well! I trust you'll make it a good one.

sssiiiiirrrrr

Good Mundane,

Glad though I am to be held in your high esteem, I am... concerned about your intentions for me.

Do not forget that I am first and foremost, an officer of His Majesties Royal Navy. I have a duty to my country and to my captain, and I cannot have you pursuing some alternate commission for me beyond the navigations of the heavens! Not any more than I could stand idle while you linger upon your indecision of my fate.

Will all due respect, you could offer me no landscape so wondrous as the sand and sea of the Indies, no adventure so great as the war on France, and no duty more honorable than my service to my country! I must insist that you allow me to return to it at once!

Now please, let's have no more of this talk. I wish to return at once to my ship.

Yours
Lt. Horatio Hornblower

...You're passing up Horatio for me. I've seen a lot of crazy in my day, the lot of it you already know and I don't care to discuss with a lady anyway, but this is at least in the top three crazy things I've seen. Oh of course people like me, and of course you like me, but really... Horatio has always been so close to your heart, I already know you're so much LIKE him that it strikes me...really odd.

I'm not opposed to playing there, with you, making new friends, being social on a social network. I understand about ten percent of how it all works, mind you, but I'm open to it, very open. I only wonder if you know just what you're getting into, I suppose?

Look, if you'll have me, I'll come running because it will be nice and because you could use someone who ISN'T Horatio or like him, and isn't miserable all the time or anything else.

I only wonder, is this really, really what you want? The closest thing to your heart?

See first that the design is wise.

Is writing this fool what you'd call wisdom?

Current Mood: contemplative

[A laugh bubbles up that he has to suppress.]

You're never going to make up your mind, are you? I say I've made my peace with it, but if you must insist on dithering about it, at least have the consideration to lessen your load elsewhere. You've made it clear you are too busy, or at least too flighty, for everything you've committed to, so stop committing to it and leaving me with nothing to do. That is the condition if you want to bring me back one day. I'll never cooperate otherwise.

Well, it already seemed to be making everyone quite miserable, but I never thought I'd have my life threatened for not marrying someone else instead. Buffy hates it, therefore Jack hates it, and despite what he says, Horatio hates it as well. Good God, let us not speak of Norrington, the poor fellow.

Please, be frank: my personal happiness aside, are you sure this is a good idea?

simplestgift

I don't believe facing fears makes a brave man out of anyone. It only makes us afraid. No matter, your cause was lost for you long ago.

...Please, do not do this. Do not ask me to do this.

simplestgift

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?

Dear Mun . . .

I think we have issues.

In regards to some pretty bleak plotting.
