Summary
"Let me rephrase," ART croons. "Why do your internal systems list the expected length of a full recharge cycle to be four hours and recommend weekly adherence? Specifically I'm wondering why this would be the case when I've only ever observed you recharging an average of three hours every two weeks."
Oh. This is a caretaking thing.

Summary
"Given what he has done with the barest civility on my part, I cannot think what he would do with the least encouragement."
“Oh, no?” said Granby innocently, a sentiment that provoked a raised eyebrow from Tharkay over his glass, and in Laurence, a strangeness in the pit of his stomach.

Summary
Post canon. Laurence has retired from active service, and his young charges are striking out on their own path in the world. He may not be their captain anymore, but that does not mean that they do not need his support and advice, something he is very happy to provide, even from afar. As he encourages them to take their happiness into their own hands, they teach him to allow himself be happy as well.
Or: Five times Laurence’s children wrote to him for advice, and one time he received advice from them in return.- Language:

Summary
No man liked to call himself superstitious. Ask any sailor and he would tell you that while others may have been worthy of that definition, he was a creature of reason, and his rituals were a tried-and-true method to assure safe travels, wealth and speedy advancement, unlike their irrational beliefs.
In which Laurence prove himself a little more peculiar than Granby first thought, much to his delight.
