It's raining drabbles!

I thought I was done, but then this little bunny hopped into the room and demanded I do something about it.

So, here you go - one more drabble, pinned to the presentation board.



Elaborate

By preference, Bodie carries a Browning. He could sign out any other gun, but this is the one he wants. He explains to Doyle that the Browning has history. When Belgium was overrun in 1940, the Germans began manufacturing the gun for their own army. Belgian workmen sabotaged production lines and smuggled the plans to Canada…

Doyle pretends to fall asleep.

Bodie finishes his story anyway, because he knows Doyle is still listening. And because when Doyle’s eyes are closed, Bodie can look as much as he likes.

“You’re a romantic,” says Doyle, later.

“You have no idea,” replies Bodie.

You just keep drabbling if you continue to come up with gems like this. All unsaid and crystal clear at the same time.

Sheesh, you must have bunnies hopping around by the hundreds. Love this one too - so much said in so little words. And it's so perfectly, beautifully them. Keep 'em coming!

Love this. Bodie really is a romantic in his own odd way.

Oh nice... and Bodie is a romantic... *g*

Aww.

Sweet but not saccharine.

This is wonderful! It's got a sort of haiku-ish feeling about it, the way you use the rhythm. Bodie verbose when he needs to be, succinct when he needs to be. Doyle doesn't know yet, in this instance, that Bodie has romantic feelings about him? Hope he finds out soon!

This is lovely, Rebel. It really works for me, hints at all sorts, especially that 'later' comment, yet is so subtle and just, gorgeous. Love it when you get the bunnies hopping into your room!

I think Bodie is a romantic. And Doyle likes it that way. Bodie loves important things: Doyle and his weapon. Thanks!

getting the rhythm right is one of the trickiest things about drabbles ... I agree, and you got rhythm *g*

That's brilliant! And complete within so little lines. Fresh & crisp.
As for the gun, is the gun the Germans were producing than from these constructions the gun that was called Luger (whereas the one that was produced from the smuggled plans was called Browning)? I'm not sure but I think that was a gun invented in those time... probably I got it all wrong. Have to do recherche if I want to keep myself as fit as Bodie in gun history, I suppose.

Hahaha... very good. Love the way Bodie thinks. LOL You know, me thinks Doyle knows he is looking. :)

Thank you, and thank you for sharing!
