He (Ioan as Pip) reminded me of young Horatio a little; he was sort of artless and good and had pretty curly hair. O.O The bit I saw, anyway.
I do love H/A, but I also have Bush love, so I feel a bit in limbo over it. I went straight from Retribution to Loyalty without book-Bush exposure so I was all WOE HORATIO, and WOE DEADARCHIE at the time. But I read this fic that was Bush/Cotard that I just really enjoyed and they make me a bit squeeful. I get the Bush/Horatio, though. I really love the idea of the lieutenant and the Captain and the trust that needs to be built up there. Plus, annoyingly like Bush's sisters, I have an urge to fuss a bit and pair him up with someone. Only, a man. XD
Bloody Maria - what I disliked most was how much Horatio did NOT want to be marrying her. That was no good for either of them...he didn't even get Pellew's joke about women. And Horatio himself saddens me - how changed he is. So tightly and relentlessly focused on his ship and the war, and when M'Man Hammond sees the kid blown up and starts screaming? And Horatio is all STFU please. I like him as a Captain; in some ways you can see Pellew's influence, but unlike Pellew, Horatio is generally clueless about emotional matters. And really, the sense I got from him was that he wouldn't be all that bothered were he to be killed in action.
Did you notice the part where he told Maria (I think?) that for a while now no one had cared whether he lived or died etc? It's interesting to see how he judges that.
Your sister sounds cute, but like she might not want to be called cute. XD I wish they'd made more episodes, too. :/
