“I thought they were going to kill me.”

He looked  his companion over, quietly puffing at his pipe.

“Won’ be th’ firs’ time ‘n this soorta occupation lad,” he pointed out. Certainly not something he enjoyed thinking about; each adventure threatened to be their last. Threatened to be Tintin’s last.

“Don’ worry too much aboot it though lad,” he said, patting his the boy’s shoulder. “Wit hoo smartcha are, I doot tha’ll happen anytime soon.”

Not while I’m around.

STarter with petitjournaliste

This wasn’t something he was expecting at all. Sakharine awkwardly held the door open, stunned silent. He was rarely in a state of not knowing what to do with himself. But here was Tintin, of all people, and he had no idea what to do or say. Maybe runaway and pretend he wasn’t there? But, he was shackled. Not literally, but he was on parole, but under house arrest. His every move was monitored.

And why was he here? Unraveling another mystery, no doubt, but what had Sakharine to do with that? or was he simply checking up on him?

What to do...?

He finally straighten up, cleared his throat and said “Well, what are you doing here, Tintin? Paying an old friend a visit? Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I am not allowed unexpected visitors.”

The Sword of Light || Closed

Will held a book in his left hand, pointer finger marking a certain page. In his other hand, Will held a newspaper clipping, writing slightly smudged from being handled too often, corners slightly frayed. Glancing up at the apartment address, he nodded to himself, definitely in the right place. Ringing the doorbell, Will waited patiently for someone to come answer, bouncing slightly on his heels as he waited.

An ad in the newspaper had brought him this far, asking for work, or more precisely, for anyone with a story. And of course he had heard of the famous stories of the great journalist Tintin, traveling the world, going on adventures. If there was anyone who would be able to find what Will was looking for, it would be Tintin. Still, Will was reluctant to let someone as clever as the journalist into such closely guarded secrets of the Light.

Then again, if he had any other options, he wouldn't have been at the door at that moment, small gasp escaping his lips, preparing to speak, grin spreading across his face as the door opened.

"Hello, I saw your ad in the paper," {Will began, waving the ad for visual effect before stuffing it in his pocket.} "I was wondering if you could help me find something."

petitjournaliste started following you

"Hey, dude! I'm Rex; what up?" The teenager grinned, waving a hand before he jabbed it back into his jacket pocket. He tilted his head, gave unwavering while he studied the newcomer. The way he was dressed reminded him a little of Gwen- in guy form, obviously. But he looked older.

"You're not from the Exposed news team, are you?" Rex asked suddenly. "Because last time we had a reporter in here..." Flashback to when Bobo had let out those E.V.Os, and he'd failed to save the day in front of the news crew, and potentially national television- instead letting Six take the spotlight. "..Well, it was bad." The E.V.O finished.

☂, ♨, ♟

☂ Favorite weather

Haddock has loved the rain since he was a little boy in Scotland, running into the rain and hopping into mud puddles (he wasn’t too fond of being stuck in bed afterwards though).

It’s something that has stayed with him well into adulthood, hence his attitude towards stormy weather in “Shooting Star”.

♨ Their cooking ability (or lack thereof)

Haddock’s fairly good at cooking, though it’s just basics like eggs for breakfast, bacon, fish... that sort of thing.

♟ If they like board games, and how good they are at ‘em

Haddock knows enough of basic strategy to be so-so at games like chess or checkers, though when pitted against Tintin he needs to REALLY put his nose to the grinder.But yes, he likes them well enough.

@petitjournaliste: “Late Birthday Present”

@petitjournaliste

He’d meant to give it to the lad as a Christmas present, but as he’d been in Liverpool at the time it completely slipped his mind, and he hadn’t even told Nestor about it. And of course yesterday was the best time to give it to the lad as well, but... well, things had happened as they are wont to (especially for them).

So instead he simply leaves the present by the boy’s door, a tag on the handle reading “Happy Birthday Tintin” in his usual cursive, before he went to grab his walking stick and go out for a stroll in the afternoon.

Considering how often the boy’d been shot--and framed, for that matter--a bulletproof case with a lock on it would be useful to the boy.

“…………………………………. Okay, MOST of it is hogwash.”

“I can bloody tell.” 

“Bloody nuthin’ can phase ye, can it...” Boy just stares at death so fucking casually that it occasionally got on the naval man’s nerves.
