[PLUG] The Thin Line: Meet Estvan Silverbrush...
Read "The Thin Line" in its entirety here! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11633727/
I was pondering my next move, when I heard the sound of polite clapping from high above me. There, perched in the rafters of the structure, was a rather smallish fox. He was looking down at me with, it seemed, an air of detached bemusement.
"Oooooooh, we've studied Gramerye, haven't we? Nice little effect, there. Are you sure you wouldn't want to set up, say, a little stream of fire?"
I glared up at the ceiling, and managed to bite back the first five or six answers I had in mind, going with a benign one. "Good morning. Am I addressing Mr. Silverbrush?"
He held up a finger. "Let us be precise in these matters. You are addressing a fur that, at this point in time, chooses to be known under the name of Estvan Silverbrush. How do you do? And you are?"
"I am Corporal Westersloe Winterbough, of the Mossford Garrison."
The fox tilted his head, in the annoying way foxes do when they're trying to figure out something you're saying.
"Are you certain that's your name?"
"It's the only name I've ever had."
"How drearily conventional. You must have lived a shockingly dull life to be known by only one name. I, myself, have been known by at least a dozen or so names. I change names when the mood strikes me. Try it, sometime. Oh, to be sure, there'll be the problems of paperwork, and I'm sure that will tie up your little Empire in knots, but then, bureaucrats are so lacking in imagination."
