"I've not heard of casualties. Where does that name come from, anyway?"

[all7seas]

"Beckett's Mum? Named after the mythical and or legendary mum of one Admiral Beckett. One of your tyrants, Kennedy. I assume he had a mum at some point in his life."

[simplestgift]

There's a choked laugh. "Aboard Beckett's mum?"

[all7seas]

"Riding her like the devil himself were after us."

[simplestgift]

That gets a real laugh. "Clever. Wish I'd thought of it for...well. Buckland, perhaps, though he wasn't the worst." The worst are the ones he doesn't even want mentioned. "Or Hammond."

He draws a flask from his coat and tosses it to Jack.

[all7seas]

Oh God bless you Archie Kennedy: so much ill-feeling that you stuck by Hornblower's captaincy bid vanishes as Jack catches that flask.

"You...are a god...among men, Kennedy."

[simplestgift]

A soft chuckle, this time. He did stick up for your bid, Jack, and he did vote for you.

"You'll have to get better in time for our voyage."

[all7seas]

Ah--the voyage. He'd promised the lad, after all. And even though he less than ever wanted to sail with Hornblower...

"Right. Voyage. Soon enough, eh?"
