OOC: Sorry for my absence. I was finishing up the semester, and then family issues popped up. I’ll be active again soon.

        he’s usually the bearer of bad news, and for some reason he’s looking down at jonathan and holding back a moments laugh. So, he just presses his mouth in a line,  ‘  i dare not give you the actual chance of survival, but for the sake of your sanity, we will say it’s about fifty-fifty.  ’

Jonathan’s lips pursed together for a moment at Ardeth’s words. Fifty-fifty? He shrugged. “Better than the odds in a game of cards, and I’ve been known to win a round or two,” he boasted, masking his unease concerning the situation. “I’d say that’s a decent chance.”

Respects and New Bonds ||  Leonard and Johnathan

Leonard felt his throat start to choke up and tears start to form, but he dared not let them fall.  He was a Lord, damn it, a strong, loyal nobleman who’d served his country and then some.  Not some bawling orphan on the side of the road, too young to hold up his britches.  So instead, he scratched his nose and looked around a little bit.  “I’s a right shame we couldn’t save his.  The war doesn’t end when the guns stop shootin’ or when people sign treaties.  It just…doesn’t end.”

Jonathan’s eyes dimmed, and he nodded. If only there was some way they could have prevented Nigel’s death. For not the first time, the Englishman wished he could bring people back from the dead. Nigel, his own parents...all wonderful people and gone too soon.

“It doesn’t,” he agreed, eyes cast downward. “Soldiers go back home, but never completely and not always all of them.” He thought of the man from his company whom had lost a leg, and swallowed. “Not all of them.”

I can't believe that it’s when I’m over on my Jonathan blog and working on drafts that Holden decides to reemerge only to go Dad Mode on Anon.

I'm typically over on my multi blog nowadays, so feel free to IM me over there.

“I’d ask what you’re doing here, but I can kinda guess.” There was a brief pause before he spoke again. “so, what did you do?”

"Perhaps not, but it’ll at least be worth something, right?” Jonathan swiped a thumb across its golden surface. “Given we survive, I mean.” He swallowed.

I'm considering moving Jonathan to my new multimuse blog, but not sure if I should. On one hand, it’d be easier to lessen the amount of blogs I have, and I’d have more than three muses on that blog. Plus, the Mummy RP fandom isn’t all that active, so I’d have other muses to work while waiting. However, it’s also nice to have blogs solely for one muse.

Respects and New Bonds ||  Leonard and Johnathan

Great, introduction made.  Now what?  It had been so long since Leonard had met anyone new.  The last person was probably the scullery maid’s husband, and that wasn’t really someone he was going to be on daily conversational terms with.  This Carnahan fellow would be, at least for a little while.  “I, I served with Nigel for a little while.  He always had a joke that was just on the indecent side of conversational, always made things a wee bit brighter.”

Jonathan noticed the other man’s brief hesitation before speaking again. Ah, this one’s not much for conversation-not surprising given the circumstances. He gave Leonard his undivided attention. Listening to the man share his connection with Nigel brought a soft smile to Jonathan’s face.

“That was Nigel all right. I didn’t get called into service until the last year of the war, and Nigel was in my assigned company. He made the transition easier. Saved my life once, too.”

[i-hate-mummies-blog1]

I was looking at the script for the Mummy (still need to read the whole thing), and found this. Trouble just kind of follows Jonathan, guys.

okay, the exchange after a disastrous stag night would definitely be something like this @liifegambler

It was always sad to hear of the passing of a good man, and Nigel McKentish had been just that.  A brave man, a true soldier, an honorable Scot and a strangely good flautist.  That was what Leonard remembered about the man, anyway, that and the way he’d saved so many by patching them up, even without being an actual medical man.  There was no way he wouldn’t pay his final respects to a man so brave and snatched from life so soon.

So Leonard went.  Frances had stayed behind, knowing this was something her husband had to do on his own, regardless of the potential shock involved, and anyway, Maggie was nearing her first birthday.  Better the two ladies of the house stay at Fairbairn Hall while Leonard said a goodbye.

There were people he knew there, at the service, as well as people he didn’t.  One such man seemed to be moving in his direction now, as the solemnity of the situation demanded only quiet speech.  “Leonard Fairbairn,” he offered, omitting his title for now, extending a hand as he got ahead of the whole socialization thing.

It took little effort to convince his sister he was off to visit an old schoolmate in Scotland and congratulate him on his upcoming nuptials. It was a lie simple enough to explain away. Jonathan could easily list off five reasons to end an engagement. No, a cover story hadn’t posed any difficulties in invention or implementation. The War had damaged enough, and he wouldn’t have Evelyn feel its impact if he could help it.

He arrived in town the evening before the funeral. Sleep hadn’t come easy that night, but he refrained from getting a drink down at the pub near his inn. Drinking could come after. Nigel deserved better than him showing up hungover.

At the funeral, Jonathan spent some time trading small talk with the familiar faces, but excused himself once the subject turned to what happened upon the return to civilian life. He found himself walking toward a man off to the side of everyone else.

“Jonathan Carnahan,” he returned, shaking Leonard’s hand.

jonathan carnahan is one of the best written slytherins ever though like he believes in self-preservation and he takes what he can whilst giving the bare minimum back and he sort of runs around confused by everything going on around him but he just sort of rolls with it and he manages to get out of situations by manipulating the people involved and slipping through the cracks

but like the key thing about his character is that he’s still a good guy and he still loves his family and protects his friends and he’s a bit useless but that’s okay because he’s also really clever and sneaky and people underestimate him he’s so great

“Here, I got you something to drink you looked as if you needed it.”

[i-hate-mummies-blog1]

“Do I really look dehydrated, old mum?” Jonathan asked, accepting the drink. He’d just returned from yet another unsuccessful dig, but didn’t think the heat exhaustion was that obvious.
