(Also, in watching NCIS I have realised that very few people on US TV these days seem to have freckles. What's with that? Just about every north american Chris and I have met is all "omg! freckles! awesome!", so how come that isn't reflected in Pretty TV People looks? /sidetrack
That. Is very odd. You're right. Damn us for not being represented as part of Pretty Peeps United. Or something.
I have seen quite a lot of people almost fetishise the freckles attraction - I mean, I have some, but Chris used to have a lot more, and people would always comment, and it's something you get made fun of for here sometimes, but it seemed like it was super-desireable in the States, and yet - doesn't show up on telly much. Go figure.
And now you have to write a story in the style of a Georgette Heyer, because clearly it is crying out to be done. So here's help - probably not the kind you wanted.
1. "When you become excited, my dear Rodney, you remind me of an agitated sheep. Quite irresistible, believe me."
2. "Well, I'll be damned!"
"The prospect" said John, bored "leaves me unmoved."
3. "If you can contrive to come out of what would appear to be a catalepsy, assemble the few wits God gave you and attend to me, I trust I may be able to allay your brotherly anxiety"
4. Rodney made a sound rather like that of an infuriated kitten, and flounced out of the room.
5. John was conscious, not of a burning desire to fold him in his arms and kiss away his melancholy, but of irritation.
Don't tempt me further! It's already too tempting! (Aside from, you know, the fact I really don't know the period well enough to ape it for more than a paragraph or two.)
1. *DIES* I just. Oh god. You win forever.
2. *snickers madly* That? Could be CANON.
3. Nggggggggh.
4. *snickers* And again with the exceptionally canon feel to it. Oh, Rodney.
5. And double so for that. *is tempted ever more, despite her best intentions* *shakes fist in your direction!*
You hadn't, but I sort of took a leap and figured you would be. *grin* And so I understand! I guess I clearly just needed to wait for the right time to get into them, because last time I tried I so could not, and this time it was far easier.
