Oh, Claude, you little scamp, didn't your mother ever tell you not to bother policemen? Tell me something, are bantering scenes between folks like these two gentlemen as much fun to write as they are to read? I hope so. I guess the Company must need to have some decent international contacts, to deal with situations much like this one. Hopefully Jean will see fit to help out Claude now.

Hey now, to be fair, it's not like he went up to a police man going "Bother. Bother. Bother." It's not his fault the police decided to do their job.

Well I don't know just how fun to read they are, but...they are a heckuva lot of fun to write ;)

Hopefully Jean will see fit to help out Claude now.

I would say it wouldn't be much of a story if he didn't, but it still could be. So. Hm.

Thank you!

Naturally, but you know he's getting a kick out of messing with them anyway.

Rest assured, they're a lot of fun to read. Just like watching a well-made action/spy movie where everyone knows more than they're saying and there are conversations going on beneath every conversation. Fun times for sure.

XD

Well of course he would. He's Claude, how else is he going to get his kicks?

Hee, it makes me unreasonably happy to hear that.

Awww I *loved* Claude and the French police! That was highly entertaining, I can really picture it easily, specially the part with the handcuffs! Poor Jean, it's hard to be a cop who has to deal with the Company. ;)

visiblemarket March 23 2009, 18:35:34 UTC

Well, it could be worse. Think of poor Matt and Audrey dealing with Bennet. That's absolutely no fun at all, there. At least Claude is awesome to hang out with ;)

Thank you!

Ah, I forgot to comment on this yesterday, even if I've kind of already commented. *laughs* I love this scene... it's always great to see Claude in full sarcasm mode. I think his getting out of the handcuffs and this line were my favorite parts:

“Of course,” he waved his hand magnanimously, willing to let it go. “You only got yourself brought in to see me because making an appointment would’ve been tiresome, and because you are too moral to escape police custody even when you are given the chance.”

Aw, well, you know. I love comments. But you did give quite detailed ones so I am fine, either way.

I'm trying to figure what Company!Claude I like better: full sarcasm mode Claude, or the, um, other Claude that will show up later in this. Hmm. Food for thought.

Thank you!

“Didn’t get myself arrested at all.”

“Of course,” he waved his hand magnanimously, willing to let it go. “You only got yourself brought in to see me because making an appointment would’ve been tiresome, and because you are too moral to escape police custody even when you are given the chance.”

“Know me much too well, you do,” Claude gave a brittle grin, and leaned back in his chair. “Should probably kill you for that.”

That entire exchange is just perfect. You've got such wonderful voices here.

Aww, thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

“’s all right with me, mate, they’re your cuffs to lose,”

Love that line, such a Claude way of looking at things.

“Right, so,” Claude sighed. “Came back to my hotel today and found myself sans partner, avec mysterious assailant. Took two shots at him, missed the second. Got away before I could restrain him.”

As is that, you really hit his voice in this one, nicely done :)

(Yes, I answered this comment ages ago! For sure!)

Thank you, though! Glad you enjoyed it!
