Adama tried hard not to grin. He had become used to what seemed to him the ridiculously stiff necked nature of some of the people he had met in these Isles, but Horatio had to win the prize for pomposity. *giggle* another perfectly wrought phrase. I have no restraint. It’s so true as well. *Awards hh prize*
Horatio cleared his throat loudly Shades of book!horry. I remember his ‘ha-h’ming’ over and over again
A sudden, uncharacteristic flash of resentment flared in Lee’s eyes at the mention of mutiny and told Horatio far more than he needed to know. This was no ordinary officer; whether he had been a party in sedition himself or had been subjected to it Hornblower couldn’t deduce, but distress was evident along every sharp plane of Adama’s face. And this tells us so much about lee; the depth of character and torment. Though it’s mean to JAMIE I do like when his characters have these hidden depths of conscience or contemplation. It adds so much.
He was gratified to find that Adama had picked up an awful lot of words on the vessel that had rescued him - including the names of the primary sails and ropes - and understood the general principles involved in a ship making its way by wind power alone. He’d be a good student – clever guy just like the real JB.
Besides you wanted to pretend I was him. Maybe one more night with him, even just sleeping, is what you need." I hope that hh will one day REALLY love him for him, not because he looks like ak, you know?
They had truly broken the mould when they made Archie Kennedy. Indeed, in all his incarnations.
Horatio lay awake for a time, his thoughts racing, his hands clenched together. Again, perfect characterization. He does this often (well when not with his true love AK)
Lee rolled his eyes, a blush colouring his cheeks. “They’ll have forgotten everything by the morning.” Oh I like this about lee. It makes him most endearing, a little shy and then: “And you, Horatio, were you impressed?” Lee curved his lips into a teasing smile. He’s back to his playful self. Such a great character.
He was surprised that Hornblower could have spent almost ten years fighting at sea yet still suffered from sea sickness. At least his Viper training had given him a strong stomach; he felt perfectly fine, and had been from the moment he’d set foot on the ship. Fortunate man. And yeah, I do wonder how they dealt with it in reality b/c I have the impression people don’t know if they’ll suffer or not until actually on a boat, like altitude sickness.
He was far from fine, Adama could tell by simply looking at him, and he was worried, but he would allow Horatio to maintain his pride. Oh how sweet, now lee is worrying about him. What a pair
He could find no words, nor actions, with which he could properly express his gratitude for having been accepted by Hornblower. One day he would repay that debt. Oh I love lee. He’s so amazing in this. And thank you so much for this!!! So good so good. Words aren’t adequate and never could be.
