Primeval drabble: Chivalry Is Dead

Title: Chivalry Is Dead
Author: knitekat
Word Count: 100
Characters: Helen Cutter, James Lester, Jon Lyle (OC)
Rating: 15
Disclaimer: Primeval belongs to Impossible Pictures. Certainly not me. Writing for fun and will replace. Lyle belongs to Fred, no matter what Lester claims ;)
A/N: For the P100 challenge 310: The Age Of Chivalry. Thanks go to Fred for looking at this for me, cheers m'dear.


Helen limped as she paced. She was injured, dirty and dishevelled with her clothing torn and stained, but she refused to rest until she'd checked the entire cell for a way out.

She leaned casually against the wall when she heard footsteps approach, her weight off her bad leg as she waited for her captors.

When the door creaked open to reveal Sir James Lester, Lieutenant Lyle on his heels, Helen's lip curled. “I see you haven't muzzled your pitbull.” She lifted her hand into view, showing off her discoloured fingers.

“Well...” Lester drawled. “The age of chivalry is dead.”

Lester really hates Helen, doesn't it?
Nicely done.

Not sure I'd go as far as hate, but he does want answers from her.

Thanks, glad you liked it.

*g* Unfortunately for Helen, I think Lyle would consider her 'insult' to be a compliment...
Good one.

*nods* Lyle definitely would.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Very apt!

Thanks. Once I had the idea, it was too good to ignore.

Well deserved, HELEN!

Helen is not looking amused ;)

Thanks for reading.

LOL! Good work Lyle! *g*

Heh, what a great use of the phrase! It seems Lyle's been very naughty, but then, so has Helen!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-14 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you liked it. Hee, Lyle is grinning, Helen isn't ;)

Thanks for reading.

This sent a bit of a shiver down my spine!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-14 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, good?

Thanks for reading.

It's a bit late to ask for kindness, Helen *growls at her*
Great drabble!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-14 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
True, but Helen wasn't going to let it go without mentioning it.

Gad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] dreamer-98.livejournal.com 2013-04-15 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Such a Lester answer, although it's difficult to be chivalrous when it comes to Helen. Very nice!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-15 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, glad you liked Lester. I think Helen knows something Lester wants to know.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Excellent!

*bows* Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com 2013-04-15 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, I sense this conversation isn't going to go well!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-15 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* I think you're correct. Helen isn't going to be willing to answer any questions, even with Lyle's 'persuasion'.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] stealingpennies.livejournal.com 2013-04-17 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)

Great! Love indomitable Helen an Lester's corresponding snark.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-17 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
*bows* They do spark well off each other.

Thanks for reading.
