Archie? Are you busy?

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th noprevaricating August 16 2011, 03:42:05 UTC

What's the matter, Selphie?

[It's not a great night, but he has to be sure something's not wrong. Horatio's a mess, even though he doesn't look like a mess to everyone.]

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th boomchucka August 16 2011, 03:43:24 UTC

He's not all right, is he?

[It's more a statement of fact that a question, but Selphie has to be sure.]

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th noprevaricating August 16 2011, 03:47:40 UTC

[There's a long, long pause.]

Mister Bush was a very dear friend to him. He-- [Archie's voice gives out briefly, and he begins again.] He is his first lieutenant, back home. No, he is not all right.

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th boomchucka August 17 2011, 14:45:53 UTC

You don't sound all right either.

[Now she's worried about both of you.]

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th noprevaricating August 17 2011, 17:23:36 UTC

...Well. That may well be the case, but we'll both be fine. Mister Hornblower will see Mister Bush when he goes home.

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th boomchucka August 18 2011, 02:06:30 UTC

And he'll see you as well right?

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th noprevaricating August 18 2011, 02:08:47 UTC

[...He hadn't even realized he'd slipped there.]

It's...not easy to explain.

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th boomchucka August 18 2011, 02:32:19 UTC

But you're his friend too. Of course he'll see you again.

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th noprevaricating August 18 2011, 02:34:11 UTC

[To lie to such an honest soul seems too wrong. Archie just stays silent, letting out a quiet breath.]

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th boomchucka August 18 2011, 02:37:21 UTC

Archie?

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th noprevaricating August 18 2011, 02:38:58 UTC

It...isn't easy to explain.

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th boomchucka August 18 2011, 02:50:17 UTC

I've noticed that a lot of things aren't to be honest.

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th noprevaricating August 18 2011, 02:58:55 UTC

Well, I... [Telling her makes him slightly vulnerable to her, and he doesn't like putting a young person in that position. Back on the Renown, it had been his responsibility to be taken seriously by juniors. And everyone else, but juniors were the most important, especially the ones learning to be officers.]

Mister Hornblower comes from a time three years after me. A time when...when he isn't going to see me again.

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th boomchucka August 18 2011, 03:01:14 UTC

Three years after...

[Selphie's blood runs cold and she stares at the journal in shocked silence.]

Archie...

[voice/filtered 100%] August 15th noprevaricating August 18 2011, 03:11:58 UTC

[Quietly:] These things happen sometimes, Selphie. I'm very lucky to be here.
