"Avon is dangerous; it would be safer for all of us if we got rid of him."

Avon stopped in the corridor when he heard Tarrant's statement. He looked around the corner quickly to see who Tarrant was speaking to. He saw Cally and Tarrant sitting on the couch on the flight deck. He carefully flattened himself against the wall and listened.

"You mean it would be safer for you," Cally replied. "This is Avon's ship, you won't take it away from him without a fight."

"Vila said the same thing, then muttered something about you never allowing it. Why are the two of you so willing to follow Avon?"

"He is our friend."

"Avon doesn't have any friends. He despises Vila and ignores you."

"He loves Vila." Cally noticed the incredulous look on Tarrant's face. "Oh, not like that, as much as Vila may wish otherwise. No, Avon respects Vila's talents and in his own way, he trusts Vila."

"And what about you?"

"Avon and I came to an understanding not long after I came aboard Liberator. We are...friends."

"Ah, you're lovers."

"No, not anymore."

"Yet you are still loyal to him."

"Yes."

Avon had heard enough, he turned to leave then remembered why he had been going to the flight deck. He grimaced and turned back toward the flight deck. "Cally," he called as he descended the steps. "Could you go talk to Dayna? She seems a bit upset."

Cally turned toward Avon. "Where is she?"

Avon gave Tarrant a sharp smile as he spoke. "She is doing her daily target practice, using a picture of Tarrant as her target."

Nice. I have to confess I'm not very fond of Tarrant, although I sometimes pity him.

[arenee1999]

I don't like Tarrant much at all.

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Not a fan of Tarrant then, are you? Hahaha. I have to admit, I loathed him when he showed up, but I warmed to him eventually. Quite surprising, really. Although he does still grate on me quite a bit, hahaha.

Anyway, it's great to see you ficcing, and I'll take whatever bit of A/V I can get. I rarely get my ficlets betaed either, though this one could use a bit of polishing. (But I am also a bit of a grammarnazi, so you can just ignore me. XD)

Ah, what gave it away? LOL

Like I said earlier, I'm not the best writer. Feel free to point out my mistakes.

I think my dislike of Tarrant stems from his obvious lack of understanding of the subtleties of the personalities that surround him. He seems to take all things at face value: all things are what they appear to be and all words are meant as they’re spoken.

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Oh, just a feeling. XD

And, I'll send you a Private Message with a little note on grammar. <3

I love it. I would, since Avon, Vila, and Cally and Dayna are my favorite characters (more or less in that order), and I like Tarrant about as well as they do in this story.
(Also, by the way, I love all the icons in this thread. And I love your Quotes.)

[arenee1999]

Thank You, I'm glad you liked it :)

Ah yes, my quotes. They are from my three favorite snarky men ;)

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

Yes I can see an early Tarrant trying to sway the rest in supporting him to get rid of Avon.

Nice little ficlet and I liked the little hints of relationships in the background.

You have some gorgeous B7 icons and you've picked quotes from my three favourite snarky men too *g*.

[arenee1999]

Thanks :)

Two of my B7 icons were made by the lovely jinxed_wood, the third one I made.

Avon, Spike and Methos are wonderful aren't they?

[arenee1999]

Yes, I think Tarrant would have realized almost right away that he would be better off without Avon.
