Primeval drabble: Earning Respect

Title: Earning Respect
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 245: Ethan Dobrowski. Part of my Dreams Of Yesterday drabble series. Thanks to Fred for looking at it for me.


Ethan scowled at the new arrivals, yet more useless idiots tagging along until they learned the ropes. He just knew Emily would want him to show them how to survive. What a waste of time, neither would last long travelling through the gateways. The weak always died and he wouldn't mourn them when they were gone.

His gaze narrowed as he watched Abby track and gather food. Maybe he had underestimated her, but the man was still soft, a liability. Ethan changed his mind the day James saved Charlotte from a charging creature.

He even missed them when they left.

Eeeeek! Great look at Ethan and how you worked Abby & Lester in. Now I'm burning to know why they left...

Thanks, I eeked at the prompt when I saw it ;) Glad you liked Ethan and the two wanderers. Um, if a prompt is willing, maybe we will find out. Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Ooh, neat idea, having them cross paths like that!

Glad you liked it, I was pondering how to get the prompt to meet the series ;) Thanks for reading.

Great drabble. I would like to read more about their stay with Ethan.

Thanks. Maybe, if another prompt fits telling more (or if a bunny bites, maybe even a longer fic?). Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Oh, I like that one. And just to echo what everyone else is saying, I'd like to know more about their time with the tribe.

Glad you liked it. Hee, maybe, we'll have to see where the prompts take us. Thanks for reading.

I love this drabble - and yes, more would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, glad you liked it. Hee, I think I'm sensing a pattern here ;) We'll see where the prompts go.

I like Abby impressing Ethan, even if she doesn't realise it.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-01-13 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, I'm sure Abby would impress him, even if Ethan would never admit it.

I imagine Ethan is very hard to impress, go Abby and Lester!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2012-01-13 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
*nods* Most likely. Abby and Lester FTW definitely. Thanks for reading.

What a scary look inside Ethan's twisted mind.
Awesome!

Thanks, glad you liked it.

Glad you liked it, I decided they had to meet up with him in the past. Thanks for reading.
