Seventeen Bells: [WRITTEN/ACTION]

[simplestgift]

On July the 4th, 1776, one Horatio Hornblower was born in Kent.  If you see him, bid him many happy returns.  He will most likely grump about it all day and act ungrateful, but don't allow it to discourage you.  He does appreciate it, he simply does not know it.

[For most of the day, Archie will be running around trying to furnish a bedroom in the house for a new housemate. He'll end up in the library, Good Spirits, the grocery store, then finally the Battle Dome, mostly staring in bewilderment at the controls before deciding this is too scary and leaving. At some point, he'll also take a walk in the woods, rain or no rain, in shirtsleeves and waistcoat but no coat. After a while, he'll get back on the journals.]

If you wanted to surprise someone dear to you, to cheer her up when she returned from being kidnapped, what would you do for her?

Of course not. Outdoors, then, so long as she's up to walking.

[Or he might carry her.]

There are plenty of nice spaces around and about within easy walking distance.

That is true. A lovely walk, then, on a clear day.

Possibly with short but not-too-terribly obvious stops for breath.

Pausing to admire the weather, you mean.

Re: [Written]

Exactly what I meant. Just couldn't recall the words.

Thank you, Giles.

You're most welcome, Kennedy.

[...] And I hope things go well. For the both of you.

[Even Angel's presence hasn't been enough to detract from his worrying for Dawn - if anything, it's increased it. But having Kennedy around, asking such questions...well, it helps.]
