Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense

"I'm very sorry Captain...seems I wasn't watching where I was going."


Honor in 'OBS.'

And several paragraphs later...
"My, that was a little sloppy of me, wasn't it?"

Roseandheather,
Oh gosh...here comes the sofa again. She's rollong her eyes at me my better half. But I can't help it. You crack me spleen.

Ditty. Dame Esyelle stole my heart too. The chemistry between her and Honor was wonderful. Didn't know two people could get on so well. Wasn't 'OBS' a glorious read?!

Dame Estelle is a fiendishly clever human and I have dreams - actual dreams, I tell you - of Honor and a fair number of furry bodyguards trotting off to the Talbott Quadrant to offer their furry, lie-detecting, bodyguarding services to our diminutively imperious Imperial Governor and her cohorts in the Quadrant. The possibilities, I tell you. The possibilities!!

(Basically yes, I loved the Estelle-Honor relationship in OBS to absolute pieces and sweet Tester but would I love to see them together again.)

Commander!
Oh my, I do like the way your mind works. Honor and Dame Estelle together again. That would be, would be, would be... breath self... ingenious. Hey, perhaps we can kick it upstairs to the powers that be.

And those dreams of yours. It's not nice for officers to show jealousy, but I am green with envy.

May I share them with you. Can I huh can I huh can i huh?!
And yes the possibilities!

They are excellent dreams and believe me, I wish I could share them. Alas, I don't even get to decide when they come. Which means I spend an unnatural but perfectly understandable amount of time re-reading the Talbott Quadrant books and basking in the glory of Matsuko and Khumalo and company. :D

The one liner of all time, "Oops".

@roseandheather,

Yea. Really special for me too. Relationships were forged of steel in that read.

@ Aleyoops,

"Oops" has been said a few times. But I will never grow tired of hearing it. Can't you just see Shannon's face when she does it? I have a niece who does the "oops" thing uncannily well! Busts my rib. She is only 12-yrs-old and loves the Honorverse! She insists on having them all in hardbook. Good taste she has.
