puckishly: (when i'm eating toast i like to be)
Puck glances round, trying not to broadcast his wariness too clearly.

Of all the trouble they have faced since leaving Ankh-Morpork-- not least of which being the paranoid patrician who necessitated their leaving in the first place-- somehow, Puck never thought it should come to such a pass as this.

He glances to Havelock, despite how little it shall profit him.

Nothing can aid him now.
puckishly: (attention span)
It has been some time since he's wandered out of doors.

Well, out of doors here. He is seldom anywhere else on the Disc, the Grand Sneer being the winding and tedious journey that it is. But it's a pleasant enough night, as such things go: The stars shine with passing brightness, and the earth beneath his feet is colder than it was.

He cannot shake a feeling of unease.
puckishly: (aroo?)
As Puck exits into the bar proper, he cannot help the slightest twinge of trepidation.

Not that you'd know it from the way he's whistling.


... What?

No.

That's it.

Stop looking at him.
puckishly: (you look better in red)
He has literally no idea how long he's been without the ability to leave this form, since he hasn't much head for reckoning time to begin with. But now he realizes things are coming to a point when something really, really must be done.

He writes Lilly a note:

My dearest bride,

I would speak with you, if you have the time. I've two bottles of rather good wine (though not Atlantean), and Havelock shan't be nigh for some time.

An it should please you come upstairs, my state is very dire.

I remain tremendously yours,
Puck


That done, he climbs the stairs, disarms Havelock's traps on the door, and settles onto the bed to wait.

If Lilly doesn't answer, he can drink himself into a mild coma.
puckishly: (Default)
Puck, who has woken rather early having frankly not slept all that much, prepares to greet the inevitable day.

Is this enough water?

He'd thought it was.

He does hope Havelock isn't cross.




... But if he is, it will likely be at least a little bit hilarious.

"And I wish to hear not a word from you," he notes to the portrait.

The painting sits balefully on the wall, keeping a sulky silence.
