Admiral, you naughty thing, there are numerous items missing from my cabin since its restoration, and you will return them. I cannot be expected to finish a novel when you're making off with bits of the manuscript.

If you wanted so badly to read it, you might have simply waited for the new chapter along with everyone else.

Maybe the Admiral is trying to tell you something? Either that or he doesn't appreciate a motivational morality tale.

Ah, ma jolie petite critique. I wondered when you might appear.

I don't speak French. [But he's probably going to go to the library to look up what the Marquis said.] And I'm simply disappointed that I didn't get to hear the end of your highly unbelievable story.

He called him "My pretty little critic" I think.

Then perhaps I shall speak it more often.

Crane will boggle a little at that. XD

It would prefer not. It's rather patronizing.

Then we are on even ground, persimmon.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I'm sure. Are you going to start your project again or just let it go?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I've little reason to stop; I made a promise.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Despite the fact that the Admiral has more or less disapproved of its existence?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

That's a silly assumption to make.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. He must have removed it for a reason. [Which makes Crane want to read it more.]
