I have heard the Arguments that Time has stopped at Home, and while the Idea brings me slight Peace, I do not believe I can rest here without Consequence.

Inaction is as much of a Crime as active Treachery, and I wish to Help in any Fashion I may. I am able bodied, well used to working in open Seas and under Orders. You shall find my Complaints very few in number, under Condition that any Action asked of me is given fairly, and does not impugn on the Rights of God’s Creatures or against Country.

If I may also inquire, I am still hopeful to locate a dear Friend of mine, a Dragon by the name of Temeraire— or perhaps Lung Tien Xiang. He is of black coloring with blue markings, in the Heavy Weight class and distinguishable by a unique facial ruff and tendrils. If he is occupied, or perhaps if I am gone when He arrives, let Him know that He is missed, that He must take care of Himself, and that William Laurence asks only for Him to be happy, even if He is not near.

[Combeferre would much prefer it if they did, but that is sadly not the case.]

Yes, we are. We are not so fierce as tales would paint us, most of the time, you need not worry.

[ he does his best to keep his voice polite, as nonjudgmental as possible, but it worries him deep inside that Temeraire has begun to hang out with professed radicals.... even moderate ones, if there was such a thing ]

I profess I know little of politic, and only pray that any sort of radical activity be kept among your own ranks.

[There is such a thing, there is one right in front of you. ...Well, on the video screen. Some others of his friends are much less so.]

I shall certainly endeavour to keep it so. I am not our leader, however.
