*goes to read*

Aww Granby, poor baby.

"Thinking it best not to risk further harm to the neckcloth" lol, SAVE THE NECKCLOTHS! Laurence would, you know.

Granby doesn't need a valet, he has Laurence! Actually, Laurence would make a good valet, he would always make sure his "charge" looked presentable and dressed appropriately. Kind of like Jeeves, who always finds a way to get rid of the offending garment, shoud there be one. Or like that valet in Downton Abbey, who was scandalised and hurt when Cousin Matthew dressed himself (the horror!).

YAY \0/

:D

Off course he would. They can't be wasting their precious neckcloths, now can they?

Lol, Laurence would totally be like Cousin Matthew's valet! And he'd go chasing after people with their neckcloths if they forgot to put them on because, say, their ship is on fire:P

The only thing I know about Jeeves is that I have the theme from Jeeves and What's-his-name on my iPod, because it was on one of your cd's. If that is the same Jeeves? I really like the theme anyhow.

Just because your ship is on fire there is no reason to look like a uncivilised barbarian.

From Jeeves and Wooster yeah, which is based on P.G Woodehouse's books. Jeeves is pretty much the quintessential valet who knows everything and quotes random poets and makes up plans to get Wooster out of trouble (because Wooster always in trouble, mostly other people's)

True. A real man dies with his neckcloth on.

I kind of felt like reading those books after you talked about them today. Or maybe watch the show, it's easier.

Poor Granby! I confess I hadn't considered dressing. Iskierka will just have to help him. I see no possible obstacles to this...

He's not allowed a valet though, unless it's a very badly trained one. Aviators have to dress all rough and casual, so as to be sure and scandalise polite society (and make Laurence flail in mixed company). ;)

No obstacles at all. Apart from being rough and casual like any good aviator his clothes would also have a stylish torn and burnt look. He'd be a given success at any dinner party:P

Thank you:) I wonder if Granby used to get into this much trouble before he met Laurence and Temeraire (not to mention Iskierka)?

Ah, poor Granby. ;_: (Mrs. Novik, why must you torture him so? Do you want him to wear a neckcloth forever? xD)

Such a cute fic. <3

Thank you:D Sometimes I think Novik created Granby just to torture him... I can't blame her, though, it's so much fun:P

She just loves him too much.
Quite fun, the poor guy. xD
