A/N: I don’t know what I’m doing, but felt compelled to try anyhow. Sorry for the apostrophe spam, I was able to stop myself from changing ‘can’ to ‘kin’ though. Didn't use 'yay' or 'allus' either. *sigh* F/b appreciated, but be kind. Scratch that. Be honest. *braces*



Startin’ to feel like I's always on lookout. Not that the view's much: hot, dry, dusty, dirty country; s’all worn out, damaged. Do’en smell good neither. Soldiers on the march ... well. Ya get tired of the stink. Food's bad. Pay's late.

But there's tea an’ a fire at night; Dan's tunes, Harper's tales. Good lads. Mostly. Trust ‘em beside me in a fight.

Sharpe's an odd 'un. Hard 'n mean; fightin', always fightin'. The French, officers ... women. An’ us sometimes. Always for us though, ‘alf 'is fights is for us. Ya can follow ‘im, though. Ya can follow Sharpe. Yeah.
