Primeval drabble: He Had Missed It

Title: He Had Missed It
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: Ethan Dobrowski
Rating: 12
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace.
A/N: For the P100 challenge 249: Hidden In Plain Sight. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series and continues from To The Rescue.


Ethan made a point of watching Lester from then on. Oh, he was subtle about it and no one noticed what he was doing. No one, except Lester himself who had quirked an eyebrow at him.

It was annoying, actually, when Ethan realised he had only seen what Lester had wanted him to see – the incompetence that hid the man's real capabilities. Ethan just couldn't believe he had misjudged Lester. OK, the rest of the tribe had missed it too, but that didn't make Ethan feel any better. He prided himself on seeing everything and he had missed it.

I like the thought of these two facing off against each other.

Glad you liked it, they are being very civilised about it at the moment, anyway ;) Thanks for reading.

Very enjoyable. Love Lester revealing only what he wants to and Ethan picking up on that.

Thanks. Glad you liked Lester being sneaky, but not sneaky enough to fool Ethan.

Oooh Lester, you need to watch your back now! Good drabble :)

It might be a good idea if Lester does *nods* Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Now I'm worried about what Ethan's reaction to this is going to be! *meeps*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-02-11 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Ethan's not saying ;) But I'm sure it will all be fine *nods* maybe. Thanks for reading.

Hehe, Lester is more clever than you, Ethan.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-02-12 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
He certainly fooled Ethan *nods* Thanks for reading.

Ah, Ethan has the measure of Lester now. Nice.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-02-12 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
He has. GLad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2012-02-12 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, I feel tension building between those two.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-02-12 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Possibly ;) I think that depends on the next prompt ;) Thanks for reading.

very neat!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-02-12 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, glad you thought so. It seemed an obvious way to go once I thought of it.

[identity profile] kristen-mara.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 09:07 am (UTC)(link)

Ooo - now is Ethan going to be grateful or go nasty...?

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
*shrugs* I think you will have to ask Ethan that question or see what the prompt is. Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] basched.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 10:07 am (UTC)(link)

Oh wow...I liked that...this drabble certainly put some lovely ideas into my head! Ethan vs Lester! Nuff said!! XD Can imagine how pissed off Ethan would be for misjudging Lester...and of course how delightfully smug Lester would be!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you liked it. Now I'm wondering if you've caught a bunny ;) Ethan hasn't told me what happens next he must be waiting for the prompt. Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] basched.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)

I've got the bunny by its ears and we're currently having a staring match. I might get something out of it eventually! lol

Thanks for writing!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, sounds like the bunnies I have, stubborn to give anything ;)

Your welcome, I'm still planning to continue this for as long as possible (this one is post 61 *g*).

[identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
ooh, this is turning into a batlle of wills!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
While, they both know each other knows, but we will have to wait to see what happens next ;) Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] lsellersfic.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh Lester! You can't help taunting him just a little!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-02-13 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, he's Lester, of course he had to taunt him ;) Thanks for reading.
