Gillette starts at the touch, reminding himself not to turn a comradely hug into anything more illegal. At the sight of Groves, things fall back into perspective; particularly as he's smiling.

"Oh, nothing much," he says, and does what any normal man would do - he shoves Theo's arm away, surrupticiously taking the opportunity to touch his hand as he does so. "I've been making friends in my usual way. I just called out Edrington to duel, and he refused me, the bastard.

But tell me about you. The doctor's news was good? Tell me it was."

The false bravado falls away, and with it goes his smile. He hadn't realized how hard this would be to say. "Um. That's what I came over here to tell you.

I don't know much more about my cut than I did before. Dr. Maturin couldn't discern anything just by looking at it, except that the salve you brought is probably making it worse, but he can't tell for sure unless he sees it." He takes a breath, having spit everything out all in one.

"But that isn't even the beginning of the bad news, Andrew. I talked to Kennedy after Maturin, and he said that he and Sparrow had read that... that we only have ten or twelve days before this thing I have takes hold. He also said that whatever ship attacked that one," he gestures out towards where the cursed ship had been, hours before, "is harbouring the witch, and that they're Spanish ( ... )

Andrew closes his eyes briefly and breathes out, feeling a terror he'd barely dared acknowledge leave him. Suddenly the worst insult in the world is bearable; forgettable, unimportant. "Oh, thank God!" he says, fervently. "I thought you were going to die. I thought we had days, and you'd be gone, and you'd either have killed me or I'd have killed myself, and that'd be the end to us. But it goes away?! Thank God ( ... )

"You mean you won't lock me away like a raging dog?" He clasps Andrew's hand in a manly, non-lover-like way and shakes it a little. He then proceeds to take an over-cautious look around the deck, across to the Euryalus, and then he quickly steps forward and kisses Andrew lightly on the mouth, stepping back again before he can get carried away with himself.

"Couldn't we just skip the whole dinner thing?" Even before Theo finishes speaking, his stomach pipes up in protest, rumbling loudly. He grins sheepishly. "Perhaps not."
