Sneak Peek - Musketeers fic
“Don’t worry, we got a plan!” Porthos yelled.
“Thank you, now we can all be deaf together,” Aramis griped. “Athos, as soon as that door opens, Porthos will take out the sentry. I’ll get his gun and you can have his sword, and we’ll fight our way out of here. D’Artagnan is standing by with the horses out of sight. Got it?”
There was a pause as Athos stared at Aramis. That was the plan, in its entirety?
Weakened by over a week of captivity, their escape relied on his ability to even hold a sword, let alone wield it against an entire castle of enemies, side by side with a blind man aiming a gun?
Good, then. He’d been a little worried they’d come bursting in half-cocked without any ideas for getting back out again. Athos nodded.
Aramis huffed. “Porthos, is he saying yes or no?”
Grabbing Porthos’s shoulder, Athos gave him an exaggerated nod and pointed to Aramis.
“Oh, eh… he says yeah, Aramis. About whatever you said.”
