Something Nautical and Fascinating
Title: Something Nautical and Fascinating
Author: [info]cruisedirector
Rating: PG
Word count: 100
Characters: Killick, Jack/Stephen
Rum to: Killick, again!


"What is the weather gage?"

Killick looked from Captain Aubrey to Dr Maturin. He suspected that the doctor remembered every nautical term which he had ever learned. But playing at lubberliness gave him a reason to consult with the captain at all times of the day and night.

Killick knew, too, that he was not the only one to suspect. "On the cloth," he complained as the captain smiled, distracted, letting ink fall to the table. The steward could only hope to divert the others in turn when Captain Aubrey took up the challenge:

"Shall I show you again, Stephen?"

Thanks! I'm not sure even I believe that Stephen wouldn't be more subtle, but then, how could a man that smart really have NO memory of nautical terms?

Hee! That would be so funny. "Why I do declare Jack I seem to have forgotten what the weather gage is again. You know how confusin' your fancy nautical words are for li'l ole me."

This was excellent.

Hee hee hee, that fake-Southern-belle drawl is almost exactly what I was thinking too.

Loved this. Sneaky Stephen, and protective Killick. Yay!

ah! this made me so gleejoyful. Stephen is the sweetest sneak alive. And I bet Jack also suspects but enjoys it too much. I loved this a great deal.

I'm picturing Stephen batting his eyes - ever so slightly of course. And there is nothing better than a faithful steward helping things along....
