The Usual Place
by Elim
There are a small group of officers
standing in a
small storage room, in HQ. Most are smoking and
passing around a couple of bottles of wine Captain
Darling had managed to have lost before reaching
the General's table. He had even managed to
scrounge enough glasses for everyone and a few
chairs. The boxes usually filling the room were all
pushed into the corners, giving the men just enough
space to comfortably move about in. There was even softly
playing
music.
Most of the men were talking in small groups, eyeing each other
up
to some degree. There were a few
standing close enough to touch. Every now and then
a pair would excuse themselves and leave. But,
Darling was nervous - to such an extent he was
having trouble concentrating on the discussion he
was having with a couple of old friends. He'd twitch
and jump noticeably whenever someone new would
come into the room.
He refused to admit he was worried, but it was
clear to the rest of the men Darling was fretting. He
knew exactly how dangerous the mission Blackadder
had been sent on, though Darling was reasonably
certain that Blackadder would find a way around
any little difficulties.
Then Blackadder finally arrives, looking harassed and
worse for wear. A Lieutenant gives him a glass and
fills it with wine from the nearest bottle. He quickly
sees Darling and heads straight over. Without
looking at any of the other men in the small group,
he kisses Darling.
"Darling."
"That's Captain Darling to you, Blackadder."
