There was a collection box on the main desk inside the Seamen's Mission. Bodie fed loose change into the slot, coins chinking coldly against the bottom of the tin

Oh so nice.... I love it. Great moment! :D

[kiwisue]

Thanks for commenting - I'm pleased you liked it!

The lads still able to surprise each other with seemingly atypical behaviour. I enjoyed this, thanks.

[kiwisue]

I saw this as early partnership - Bodie being all 'front', in particular.

Glad you liked.

[cornishcat]

Yeh, I saw that too... but never Bodie intimated an awareness of their partner's personality traits, so they were still at the stage of being shocked when one or other acted out of character.

It amazes me how complex drabbles really are. *g*

So much said in so few words! A lovely piece of writing.

[kiwisue]

Aww! You are very nice - thank you!

I love how a seemingly mundane moment reaches back into the past. And the "minting" of their partnership is a great word choice for this piece.

[kiwisue]

Thank you! 'Newly minted' was practically the last phrase I wrote - I had about 5 words - too many - saying much the same thing, and then the 'penny' dropped (sorry).

I was saving this one... and worth it too, twas lovely! I love Bodie touching his past like that... (but d'you know I've never heard of the Flying Angel, even though I've come across seaman's missions before - how odd... so thank you for that too!)

[kiwisue]

Thank you ! And I meant to reply ages ago but I have been swamped with RL. Can't wait until after Easter is all I'm saying:)
