As soon as I saw the word 'Duck' I knew that fandom I'd be writing in.
Here it is:
"May I clarify something, my dear?" Ducky put his teacup down.
"Sure, Duck." Jethro mentally crossed his fingers and inched closer to the door.
He'd only popped into the kitchen to raid the fridge before he returned to work on the extension Ducky had talked him into building onto the back of Reston House, so that Jethro didn't have to do his woodwork in the basement.
"You don't mind not working in a basement, do you?"
"Course not, Duck. I'd have said. Anyway, it's safer me being up here. I don't have to worry about you falling down the stairs."
All well done! spikesgirl58, I also must confess unfamiliarity with Grimm, but I found your work engaging and clever as always!
Here is mine, and I was a silly rhyme machine today.
“May I ask you to clarify the failure of the raid?” “Well, sir, it’s all quite simple. Our golf course trap was laid…” “You used the new explosive ball? Did it not find the cup?” “My first drive went off to the left, in the rough it was hung up.” “Then Illya hit a slice you see - his drive was not perfection - So, to allow another try, we’ve asked for an extension. “My ball was hit an inch too far; the shot was very poor. But I’d have missed my partner’s head had I not said ‘duck!’ but ‘fore!’”

Thanks! It's a lot of fun, but you need to be able to handle the violence and the storylines.

Napoleon stirred his cup of coffee, straightened his inbox, moved his desk calendar an inch to the left, and sharpened three pencils.
His partner wasn’t deceived by the delaying tactics. “Mr Waverly expects our report by five, and he isn’t known for granting extensions.”
“I need to clarify the details in my mind before committing them to paper,” Napoleon said loftily.
“There’s no wording that will obfuscate the detail that the raid was an abysmal failure.”
“That’s not the part I’m working on.”
Illya snorted. “Not even you can make your unplanned swim in an odoriferous duck pond sound dashing.”

I had a feeling that would be the case!
Good point, Jethro. Stairs are our age can be dangerous! :D
Good job.

Thank so much. I appreciate you reading in a fandom you are unfamiliar with.
You hit a hole-in-one with yours!

And I always enjoy the opportunity to see a well-flexed vocabulary!
