emma_in_dreamIn *Post Captain* Jack and Stephen argue over a woman. Jack calls Stephen a lying bastard, and they agree to duel.
Even when they are in this state, they still care for each other. Jack sends a note saying: 'Captain Aubrey presents his compliments to Dr Maturin, and begs to say that an expression escaped him yesterday evening, a common expression to do with birth, that might have been taken to have a personal bearing. None was intended, and Captain Aubrey withdraws that word, at the same time regretting that, in the hurry of the moment, he made use of it. The other remarks he stands by.'
How I love this most slashy of series. (BTW: Obviously they make up before they duel).
