[William had not smiled since he arrived. Which was no great feat. William Bush rarely smiled. But seeing friends again - he could safely call Archie Kennedy a friend - was usually met with happy grins and laughter. Unfortunately, the circumstances out weighted the levity.

'Till now, of course. William was hard-pressed to keep from beaming. Familiarity in an unfamiliar land.]

Lovely. She's just - [He nod a few times. Liking his choice of words from before.] lovely.

Who started?

[Because clearly the ship couldn't have been built in the time frame you'd presented earlier Horatio. That was just impossible.]

God as my witness, William. Two weeks.

[For a moment, Horatio Hornblower was grinning.]

Archie designed her, and we had a crew helping us build her. A shipwright... Don't ask me how he did it, but, by God, he did it.

Two weeks?

[William Bush laughs a little in disbelief. He walked about the deck, in Horatio's vicinity - simply because he wouldn't presume to go any further. He may not have believed Horatio about the time but he wouldn't argue it here. Not now.]

I'll be damned.

Two weeks.

[He knows how remarkable it is. Horatio smiled very, very faintly over at William.]

She could do with some guns, but I doubt the Malnosso will give us those. Unless they send us back into battle.

By God - [He cuts himself off in favor of being silent. Simply taking in the ship and falling a little in love himself.]

Damn the Malnosso, I'll make them myself if we have to.

[Horatio can't help but give a quiet laugh.]

I think a few residents here would protest.

Would they now?

[It sounds more like 'are they important?']
