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.

Temeraire seems to be quite taken with them, so it isn't surprising that they would want to welcome you. I don't believe there are more than ten, however- though that does mean they still outnumber us.

[He has his own reasons for not being particularly fond of the French, but they aren't as acute as Laurence's.]

Less than ten— it is not so terrible.

[ he'd be making unhappy cow noises right now if he weren't in polite company. ]

They are pleasant, and quite amiable. I suppose it's natural Temeraire would have taken a liking to their company.

[ but it's troubling and Laurence does feel a pang of jealousy, not that he'd ever admit it ]

It could certainly be worse.

[Unhappy cow noises flatter no one, sir.]

Yes, they are amiable enough. But I am sure Temeraire can give you a more thorough report of them.

[He has kept an eye on them, but he keeps an eye on everyone. Temeraire knows them better.]
