Dying in a lecture? I'm bored too haha. (Or not so haha bc eah not funny)
What could I be asking... ?
Oh. Favorite animal encounter/story in the Aubreyad series? (Apart from the sloth of course)
And
What animal(s) would you bring onto the ship to annoy the f out of Jack?
Ohhhh we're bored buddies, then!
That's a lovely question! I really loved the wombat who tried to eat Jack's hat withing first 4 pages of the Surgeon's Mate? I would have to check!
And I really liked Jack swimming with a seal! In The Letter of Marque!
Which animal would I bring aboard to drive him completely bonkers?
A PARROT. he would definitely not like things she would like to say-
