Being held 'captive' was proving very, very, dull. Not that he was hoping for torture and cruelty, he was pleased to avoid all that, but he wouldn't have minded a little excitement. Just a smidge... That morning though everyone at the tavern was brimming with excitement, chatting away about some fight and the return of the queen.
Seemed he might be going home today.
They had breakfast as always, but Q played closer attention to Willy this morning, wondering how this would play out. Would he bring Bond here? Would he play up the whole captive thing? Would it be more the same?
He wondered if everyone was alright, from Hex to Harry, and all those in between he'd come to think of as friends or even family...
"Are they coming here, or are we going to them?" he asked after a moment.

Date: 2024-02-17 02:08 am (UTC)It wasn't just love. Bond understood his needs in a way no one ever had. James knew what he needed and when he needed it. Knew how to center him when he started to feel lost. Bond knew that even when he was being mouthy, it wasn't cheek, it was how Q expressed his love. Bond just understood.

Willy considered him a moment.
"But...are you?"
no subject
Date: 2024-02-17 02:46 am (UTC)Q visiby reacted to that, angry at first, then upset.
He said nothing though, turning away and deciding not to speak again until he had to.

Date: 2024-02-17 02:59 am (UTC)It made him think he'd have a use for Nyx aboard the ship after all. Salt water was terrible for the laundry. A nymph's magic, though. Perfect.
"Harry," he called as he approached the man in the main hall. "They aren't here yet? Where is everyone? Do fae sleep the day away?" he grumbled nervously, looking more dashing and polished than he ever had before.

Date: 2024-02-20 11:21 pm (UTC)"Are you suggesting I don't need you, after all?" Bond asked, taking it as a compliment whether Harry meant it that way or not.

Date: 2024-02-21 12:02 am (UTC)"And that's where you come in," he smiled, a curve that was utterly heartbreaking. "We'll get him back."
no subject
Date: 2024-02-21 07:20 am (UTC)“We will,” he said, mouth set in a determined straight line. Then added, “I’ll do the talking then. But I’m sure you looking pretty will help.”

Date: 2024-02-21 06:55 pm (UTC)He sauntered forward, a placid smile on his face.
"You have come for what is yours," he said. "And now that the king is dead and the prince home, you may have it."
He stepped out of Q's way.
no subject
Date: 2024-02-21 07:07 pm (UTC)There was no way it was that simple, and Q seemed unsure as he started to step towards Harry and Bond. When the fae seemed to make no move to stop him, he walked a little faster.
no subject
Date: 2024-02-21 07:51 pm (UTC)He wa standing just slightly in front of Bond, and so when Q approached, he instinctively reached out and took his hand, pulling him in. Relief evident on his face, despite being wary.

Date: 2024-02-21 08:17 pm (UTC)Willy watched the reunion, pleased to see everything seemed to have worked out. He desired no ill will, nor did he desire a good-bye, so with a wave at the trio, he turned to walk away.
Leaving behind him a touch of magic. Enough for good will, happiness, and whatever love may already exist. That, he knew, was enough for men to diregard a fae entirely.
"Good to have you back," Bond told Q, not a moment of thought given to the departing prince.
no subject
Date: 2024-02-21 08:21 pm (UTC)Q was a little surprised when Harry reached him first, but settled against him and held on in return. Even more shocking was when Bond seemed to embrace them both.
"For the record, while that abduction was not entirely unpleasant, I'd prefer we avoid that sort of thing in the future," he said, holding the pair tightly and allowing himself this moment of comfort.

Date: 2024-02-21 08:40 pm (UTC)He glanced at Bond. “You got all dressed up for nothing.”
no subject
Date: 2024-02-23 07:19 am (UTC)"Not for nothing," he said, then turned that smile on Q.
"To celebrate."
no subject
Date: 2024-02-23 07:32 am (UTC)Q did, indeed, melt a little.
"Early in the day for celebration," he said, not really noticing the way he naturally settled in against Harry's chest.

Date: 2024-02-23 08:55 am (UTC)Bond nodded in agreement.
"Are you alright?" Bond asked then, concern furrowing his brow. "Has that fae been...tolerable?"
no subject
Date: 2024-02-23 01:45 pm (UTC)"He was infuriatingly pleasant the whole time," Q assured them both. Which must have been frustrating for the fae and quartermaster both, as Q did like to pick at people a bit- Even start a quarrel on occasion.

Date: 2024-02-23 07:49 pm (UTC)"All's well now," Bond assured him, rubbing Harry's back a bit and then giving him a pat. "Why don't we go back to the ship? No need to test the Queen's hospitality now..."
Bond was quite diplomatic, it seemed, because what he really wanted to do was drag them both back to his quarters and lock the door.
