Seventeen Bells: [WRITTEN/ACTION]
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.]
[Filtered away from Grell, 44%]
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?

[With that, he pulls a package out from under the coffee table and hands it to him. Inside is a very beautiful regular journal and gorgeous fountain pen with refills.]

Both his lieutenants.
...How things should be.
Then, though, Archie offers the package. Horatio has to smile.] Archie, there was hardly need to-- Thank you.
[He takes a seat to open the package, and his smile grows.]
Thank you.

His expression takes on a teasing lilt as he examines the journal.] No witchcraft about this one, then?

[action]
Thank you, Archie. [He sets both down to rise again and pull the man into a half hug.] It's perfect. [Exactly what the private, thinks-too-much captain needed, actually.]
