Churning
Title: Churning
Author: [info]cruisedirector
Rating: PG
Word count: 100
Characters: Stephen, Jack
Rum to: Dr M, if he can keep it down.


The violent pitching of the ship made the contents of her doctor's stomach heave as well. Had Jack been there, he would have hidden a knowing grin and asked whether Stephen needed a basin; but Jack was on deck, working with the crew to catch their prey, while Stephen was trapped below with his unhappy patients.

Stephen could not afford queasiness, for few things upset wounded men so much as seeing their physician in the throes of weakness. Miserably he swallowed the bile in his throat, vowing that if he were to be sick, it would be on Jack's boots.

Those bats are everywhere! You can't go to sea without being threatened by them apparently. *g*

I volunteer to clean the boots if he'll let me take them off him.

Another excellent dribble, thank you.

I had no idea so many people had a thing for the boots, or I never would have threatened them. *g* Thank you!

I'm sure the boots are designed for all sorts of disasters at sea. And Killick is used to having to clean them!

It should be in the Articles.

Article 37:
If any person in the fleet shall see fit to be sick upon or into a superior officer's boots, he shall suffer death.

They'd lose an awful lot of able seamen during bad gales and bouts with native food, wouldn't they?!

I love how when Stephen is sick and peevish, he's half-angry at Jack here. Ah, l'amour.

LOL! Well, it is of course Jack's fault that Stephen's spending half his life at sea, since Stephen can't live without him. *g* Thanks!
