Robert was sitting in Tommy's room, humming happily as he polished a pair of riding boots.

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 3:51 pm

"Hullo, Robert," Tommy said, exasperated as he came in.

by **Robert Bolt** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 3:57 pm

"Hello, Mr. Moore. You seem to be perturbed." Robert observed.

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 6:38 pm

"Why did I come to Xaviers again?"

by **Robert Bolt** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 7:39 pm

"Because you wished to be educated amongst your fellow mutants." Robert replied. "And because you didn't wish for the 'bloody Yanks' to take over the school."

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 8:36 pm

"Remind me to complain about the bloody Welsh."

by **Robert Bolt** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 10:42 pm

"I shall add that to your schedule, sir." Robert replied "And should I change the instructions to the kitchen for your dinner, sir?"

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 10:49 pm

"For dinner? What do you mean?"

by **Robert Bolt** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 10:57 pm

"I had instructed the kitchen to prepare Welsh rarebit, sir."

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 11:06 pm

"Ugh, yes, a switch would be good."

by **Robert Bolt** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 11:15 pm

"One moment, then." Robert said as he stood up, ran to the kitchen, and ran back "May I inquire as to the source of your anti-Welsh sentiment, sir?"

by **Tommy More** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 11:26 pm

"Oh, I just had a run in with one of the useless dafties. Just...I mean, in THIS day and age..."

by **Robert Bolt** » Mon Jul 02, 2012 11:41 pm

"In this day and age?"

by **Tommy More** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 12:12 am

"Exactly! In THIS day and age."

by **Robert Bolt** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 12:14 am

"Indeed. Have you devised a plan for putting the Welsh back in their place?"

by **Tommy More** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:17 am

"I'm afraid she's forced my hand, Robert. Abso-LUTE-ly forced my hand."

by **Robert Bolt** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 1:29 am

"How so?"

by **Tommy More** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 12:37 pm

"It's...it's preposterous. She had the GALL to challenge me to a duel. A duel! In our modern, civilized society."

by **Robert Bolt** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 2:30 pm

"How dreadfully uncivil of her." Robert replied "May I assume you accepted?"

by **Tommy More** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 2:31 pm

"Issued in public? How could I not. It would have brought shame along the family line."

by **Robert Bolt** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 3:34 pm

"Indeed. Will you require your pistols, sir?"

by **Tommy More** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 3:39 pm

"Yes, yes, yes, the pistols.

I mean...what has this country come to, Robert?"

by **Robert Bolt** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:00 pm

"I really have no idea, sir." Robert replied "Have you already located a second, and chosen the location?"

by **Tommy More** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:21 pm

"Oh, she has been HORRIBLE with the location. She suggested it in the bloody Danger room.

You'd best speak to whoever her second ends up being."

by **Robert Bolt** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:34 pm

"I will be honored to serve as your second, sir. Shall I try to find a location where dueling is legal? I believe that traveling France has not been an option for some time."

by **Tommy More** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 5:55 pm

"Legal, or a field of honor, I suppose."

by **Robert Bolt** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 6:09 pm

"I shall look into it."

by **Tommy More** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 6:13 pm

"Good man."

by **Robert Bolt** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 6:36 pm

"Is there anything else, sir?"

by **Tommy More** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 7:14 pm

"I suppose not, for tonight."

by **Robert Bolt** » Tue Jul 03, 2012 7:21 pm

"I'll see you in the morning, then."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 5:21 pm

Some time later, Janice knocked at the door.

by **Robert Bolt** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 5:48 pm

Robert opened the door. "How may I help you, miss?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 5:50 pm

"I was wondering if Tommy was in? There's... ah... some nasty business to discuss."

by **Robert Bolt** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 8:38 pm

"Indeed. By chance, would you be Mrs. Stanton's second?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 8:20 am

"If we're really doing this, I guess so."

by **Robert Bolt** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 3:12 pm

"In that case, it really is myself that you should be speaking to, and not Mr. More. Would you care to come inside?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 3:24 pm

"Alright, then. Should probably introduce myself. Janice Gilbertson."

by **Robert Bolt** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 3:51 pm

"Robert Bolt." he replied "If you could follow me to the drawing room? Would you care for some tea?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 4:01 pm

"Just some water would be fine, thank you," she said as she followed him.
