A/N: For the P100 challenge 226: Sarah Page. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series and yes, its angsty again ;) Thanks to Fred for looking at it for me.


Connor just picked at his meal and as it was his favourite James felt he had the right to be concerned. What had Burton done now? “Connor? Interesting day?”

When Connor just grunted, James felt his concern increase several fold. “Connor?” He winced slightly as his tone, part worried and part demanding.

Connor finally looked up at him. “You never did say how Sarah died.”

James quirked an eyebrow, so that was Burton's game. The bloody bastard. “Burton?”

Connor nodded and looked down at his plate.

“He's trying to put doubts in your mind, love.” And James knew he'd succeeded.

***

Connor nodded, he might be rubbish at figuring people out, but he'd realised that. “I know, but I...”

“But it's bothering you?” James asked with a look that Connor interpreted as both understanding and annoyed.

“I know he's lying, James.” Connor quickly answered. He trusted James... so why did Burton sound so convincing. Connor sighed, shaking his head again. “I just... wondered.”

“How she died?”James sighed softly. “Burton's right. It is my fault.”

“No!” Connor couldn't believe that.

“He is.” James' voice was firm. “I should never have allowed her to go on that rescue mission. On any of them.”

Ooh, yes, definitely angsty! And grr at Burton!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

It had to be angsty as MAI is set S4 (or 5) and Burton had to stir. Thanks for reading.

[samueljames]

Oh, poor boys but good angst.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm sure the boys will get through it. Glad you liked the angst and thanks for reading.

[darkhorse-99.livejournal.com]

Burton's such a perfect bastard. Loved the angst.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

That's how he's writing himself ;) The angst is never far away. Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

MAN! You weren't kidding. Excellent use of the prompt. At least he knows somewhere in that brain of his that Burton is manipulating him. Poor boys. *huggles them*

EDIT: I thought I was going to have to poke you soon if you didn't post more from this series. :-) I'm glad you posted. *Puts pointy sticks back in the cupboard* :-P

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

It had to go angsty with the prompt. Connor does know not to trust Burton, but he can't help wonder... I'm sure the boys will sort themselves out. *joins the huggle*

*watched pointy stick carefully* I'm still aiming for 1(+) drabble a week in this and the other drabble series. *paws crossed that I managed it*

"I'm still aiming for 1(+) drabble a week in this and the other drabble series."

I think you've done fairly well so far. I'm just impatient. LOL

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Sorry, you'll have to be impatient, next prompt isn't until Tues ;) And then I need to think of something. *vbg*

[tay-21.livejournal.com]

Heehee! Just so long as you keep posting. I'll just be over here in the corner close to the cupboard with the pointy sticks. :-P

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*meep* ;) The plan is to keep going for as long as possible (this one is post number 33). Invests in padlock for cupboard ;)

[tay-21.livejournal.com]

Careful! As I think it's the same cupboard that I'm hiding in with the chocolate waiting for Fred to start posting S&S. :-P DON'T LOCK ME IN!!!!!!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Hee. Don't worry, I'll make sure you're supplied with choc and let you out for S&S ;)

[tay-21.livejournal.com]

LOL! Oh dear. :-/

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

;)

[jooles34.livejournal.com]

Oh eep and sniffle. Nicely done.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*passes tissue* Thanks and don't worry, the boys will be fine (probably).

[fredbassett]

Great use of the prompts :)

I am still in awe about how you're continuing to fit them all in so organically.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks and thanks for looking at it for me.

This one I'm trying to keep linear (doy started off in the middle anyway). I had a meep moment with the prompt as this is set S4 or so, but I'm determined to continue for as long as possible (drabble post 33 and counting).

[cordeliadelayne]

Poor boys!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* I was mean to both of them. Thanks for reading.

[auntypam.livejournal.com]

*HugsConnor/Lester* *smacksBurtonupsidethe head* Great drabble! So much angst in so little words...

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*joins in the hug* The boys need hugs and Burton definitely needs a smack. Thanks, glad you liked it. The angst bunny wanted to play ;)

[fififolle]

Bah! Bloody Burton, sneaky bastard. let me at him!
Great drabbles.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Burton has to be the sneaky bastard. Go for it, Lester and Connor will cheer you on ;)
Thanks, glad you liked them.

[talliw.livejournal.com]

Bloody bastard, indeed. I hope Burton won't succeed with his plans.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* don't worry, the boys are on to him. Thanks for reading.

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

Angst alert! Damn that Burton, trying to prise Connor and Lester apart by using Sarah in that way!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

The angst bunny is always lurking ;) And Burton is always going to meddle and try to prise the boys apart. Bad!Burton. Thanks for reading.

[celeste9]

Oh, poor Lester! And Connor. That was very sneaky and rude of Burton.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I was mean to both of them. *nods* Burton is up to something. Thanks for reading.

[kristen-mara.livejournal.com]

Poor Sarah. Poor Connor. Poor James. Trifecta of angst!

Great use of the prompt

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

*nods* I was mean to all of them. Thanks and glad you liked it.

[lsellersfic.livejournal.com]

Poor Lester. He would blame himself terribly.

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Lester would, even if he couldn't have stopped it. Thanks for reading.

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

meep, poor Connor and Lester. Don't let him get to you!

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

I was mean to the boys again. I'm sure the boys will be fine. Thanks for reading.

[eriah211.livejournal.com]

Poor boys, and poor Sarah *growls at Burton*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I was mean to everyone. *joins in growling at Burton*
