[ VIDEO. ] never seen one without the other(s).
[ the feed starts to complete blackness — it resolves itself into a clearer picture of a leather uniform once aramis steps back, though he also just so happens to be upside down. at least aramis has learned enough in his days aboard the tranquility so far that he notices and fixes it a moment later, leaving it lopsided, but the right way around.
he steps back a little further, coming to stand next to porthos. they are both armed, swords strapped to their sides, and not in the ship's jumpsuits but rather in their leather uniforms.
aramis holds a pistol, considering it. his voice is thoughtful. ]
They do say I am quite good with these.
[ porthos, for his part, is still staring suspiciously at the sleek looking square on his end. but he lets up long enough to add - ]
Finest in all of France, I’d wager. The better to serve their Majesties, King Louis XIII and Queen Anne.
[ it’s a spiel they’ve been through before. aramis’ eyes narrow. ] Speaking of their Majesties — if they are here as well, rest assured that we will find them and not look kindly on anyone who has committed treason and harmed them.
[ there’s a gruff hemm of his throat, before porthos adds; ] And if you’ve done likewise with two men who go by Athos and D’Artagnon, it may not be treason, but we’ll be looking just as unkindly.
[ aramis smiles at that, cheerful almost despite the dangerous edge to it. ] To those who are likewise captives, we swear to aid you where we can.
[ and he tips his head. ]
( blue is aramis, black is porthos! musketeers in space, aw yeah!! )

Let us just say that you will not find a finer marksman in France, shall we?
video;
That is very bold of you to say, sir. Though it is a fine quality to have.
[ she is only saying what she thinks, and has no real idea that it looks like she is flirting. oh dear. ]
video;
( well, he could argue his own point, but he won't. and he delights in her flirtatiousness, even unconscious though it may be. )
video;
[ she was told that fortune can be considered a form of happiness and she has been pondering the matter since.
her smile remains bright, the hint of dimples just barely visible in her cheeks. ]
If they are, then you are quite brave, indeed!
video;
( he wouldn't consider fortune identical to happiness, nor bravery to boldness, but there are relations certainly.
but that would destroy his argument and the lovely flirtation they have going on, so he won't say as much. )
video; omg please excuse the lateness
[ she smiles at him, inclining her head. ]
Perhaps they are in this case, for I am happy to make the acquaintance of someone who seems to be so brave.
[ threatening an entire ship takes guts. and she can definitely appreciate that, in a way. even if his monarch is (thankfully) absent and everyone onboard is innocent of whatever happens to him back in france. ]
video; i'm on holidays anyhow!!
[ ah, the pleasure of being called brave by a beautiful woman. aramis appreciates it, even though the memory of anne calling him brave and kind is — somewhat bittersweet, dulling the pleasure. ]
video; i hope you're enjoying yourself! kind of like i'm enjoying this thread.
[ she means the compliment sincerely. ]
Such as yourself, sir. Given the unfortunate enmity that has existed between our two countries, I am thankful that this place renders such a meeting possible.
[ burying the hatchet would be too easy for kings to do. but her father had tried. and she would like to, as well, in his tead. her smile returns. ]
Would you like it if I showed you around? This vessel is truly a marvel.
video; i was i am i did yes good
he returns her smile easily now, the bittersweet edge of it falling away. ]
I would greatly appreciate it.
video;
she enjoys provoking genuine smiles out of people, and so she returns it with one of her own. ]
Then it will be my pleasure to assist you, Monsieur. When would be a suitable time for it?
video;
video;
We are in luck, as I do not think that I do.
video;
[ yes, he is using that word on purpose. ]
video;
[ terribly so, in fact. she gives him a bemused little grin. ]
video;
[ look at you, girl, all flirting back. ]
video;
[ look at her go, indeed! ]
video;
I hope so. [ with a hint of a bow. ]
video;
[ rather than hope. because he is far-removed from the conflict of her time. and from the enmity that has existed for so long between their nations.
that's a positive start as far as she is concerned. ]
video;
video;
[ the conversation seems to have come to a close, and so she gives him a flash of a smile that is meant to be friendly but can be considered out-right flirtatious. ]
Until then, Monsieur. I shall await you at the entrance to the Gardens at mid-day.
video;
[ he smiles back, tipping his hat — and then utterly fails to disconnect the video, so she will have to do the honours. ]
video;
Until the morrow, then. I bid you good day, Monsieur!
[ she does disconnect, after giving him one last smile. yes, having good, peaceful relations with the french is awesome. :D ]
