James scrambled to his feet as the door shuddered behind him, his eyes searching for another exit.

“That's a fucking dragon!”

James shot the woman an annoyed look as she repeated herself. “Quite. Now, is there another way out of here?”

The woman glared at him again before shrieking as the door buckled under the creature's assault. “No, there bloody well isn't.”

James glared back, it was just so typical to be blamed for something beyond his control. He noticed the manhole in the floor and sighed, his suit would never survive but... well, did he really have a choice?

Better the suit than his skin.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
True, but James is very attached to his suit ;)

That icon is very apt.

Thanks for reading.

He's such a peacock.

I know ;)

How much is he taking off? For reference... *innocent*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
James is not looking impressed, nor is he buying your *innocent* expression ;)

[identity profile] misa-ffection.livejournal.com 2013-04-19 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
It's not my fault he's tasty.

Or that I've seen him naked.

I was impressed... *smirks*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-19 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely tasty.

James is wondering if he's got a stalker *vbeg*

[identity profile] misa-ffection.livejournal.com 2013-04-19 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't dare, Alex would kill me...

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-20 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, although in this series, it would be more likely Abby (on Connor's behalf) ;)

[identity profile] misa-ffection.livejournal.com 2013-04-20 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
True.

Eww! Needs must, James! *g*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
James agrees with the ewww. He's firmly hoping the next prompt helps keep him out of the sewers ;)

Thanks for reading.

*g* Terrific excuse to get him out of the suit, yeah?

Love his reaction to the woman's shock. Lester version of 'keep up'.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
*drools* at that thought. Although I think he's prefer it if Connor was the excuse ;)

*nods* Lester doesn't do shock ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] kristen-mara.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 10:54 am (UTC)(link)

LOL and ooooo - good luck with the trip downwards, you two *G*


[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, James is hopeful he can avoid the trip downwards.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] judithjohn.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 11:07 am (UTC)(link)
Very Lester!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, glad you think so.

[identity profile] nietie.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwww, poor suit! *g*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* James' suit is quivering in fear ;)

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] freddiejoey.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Nicely done. <3

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] dreamer-98.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, poor James has to ruin his suit. :( But he doesn't really have a choice.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
James is not looking forward to it and is hoping that the next prompt will save his suit ;)

Thanks for reading.
clea2011: (Lester suit)

[personal profile] clea2011 2013-04-18 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
He could feed the woman to the dragon and make his escape. Then he wouldn't ruin his suit *g* Just a suggestion, seeing as she's not being very appreciative about getting saved :-)

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, you are mean ;) The woman is refusing to be a damsel in distress, although you are correct about his suit. Lester is now looking thoughtful ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] joshinator.livejournal.com 2013-04-18 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee hee for the suit!

Great drabble. :)

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-19 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Poor suit ;)

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

[identity profile] aunteeneenah.livejournal.com 2013-04-19 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Come along, James, stop dawdling. You need to rescue Connor so down through the manhole you go.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-19 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
But... but, his suit ;)

James is hoping the next prompt will save his suit.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] 47eleven.livejournal.com 2013-04-19 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
This series rocks!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-19 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
*blushes* and *bows*

Thank you very much.

[identity profile] natchris.livejournal.com 2013-04-19 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
*gives Lester a good long hard stare and a determined push*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-19 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Lester is not amused, certainly not about the push ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] flaccidduck.livejournal.com 2013-04-20 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Cannot wait for the next prompt to see how the suit and of course Lester fares!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-20 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Lester is equally concerned for his suit and is hopeful that the next prompt saves it (and him).

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Aw, his poor suit! Trust him to be concerned for it. *g*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-21 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
His poor suit is whimpering in terror ;) Of course Lester's going to be concerned for his suit, he's Lester.

Thanks for reading.

Hee, poor suit! *g*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-22 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
James is still not amused and is very worried about his poor suit ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] stealingpennies.livejournal.com 2013-04-23 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)

That damsel really is grumpy! Poor James - having to sacrifice the suit.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-23 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* She is rather grumpy, isn't she. Poor James is not happy about his suit.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] lsellersfic.livejournal.com 2013-04-27 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Poor Lester!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-27 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It has definitely not been a good day for poor Lester.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com 2013-04-28 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh dear, James' day just keeps getting worse and worse, doesn't it?

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-28 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
James quite agrees and he's glaring at one of the culprits ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] eriah211.livejournal.com 2013-04-29 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Who cares about the suit?!! *flails*
Well, obviously Lester does, or he wouldn't be Lester ^_^

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-04-29 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Lester, of course ;)

Thanks for reading.

[personal profile] samueljames 2014-03-03 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
None of us would fancy the sewers but it's better than the alternative.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2014-03-03 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
James isn't quite sure it is worth the sacrifice of his suit.

Thanks for reading.
