perhaps i love too much.

        ❝ and some confusion, monsieur. ❞ this is, fergus thinks, one of those times it is better not to ask anymore questions. he feels that way when milady talks about her medicine, sometimes, though he trusts its result, and the more he tries to understand, the more he does not. fergus has never been particularly educated.  ❝ you...know this man? ❞ the man --- the doctor? --- introduces himself, and for a very long moment, all fergus can do is stare.  ❝ i am fergus. fergus fraser. i’m sorry, the doctor? i know somebody who goes by this. there’s more of you? ❞

        ❝ i...do not think i have heard this at mass. ❞ fergus doesn’t speak latin, after all, and if he is honest, the man’s words are confusing.  ❝ you’re human too. ❞ it sounds a little more like a question---but then, has he not met someone who is not human? has he not seen...wonders he can still scarcely believe? fergus is, he has to admit, happy to have both of his feet firmly here, where they belong.  ❝ i suppose so, yes. he didn’t look scottish. ❞

        ❝ i do not mind change, really. when i was a lad, i thought everything was an adventure. and i had milord there. ❞ for the most part, at least; not all the change in fergus’ life has been about where he has lived, but he grew from a boy into a man with his father far away, and that was, perhaps, harder than moving countries. fergus has always considered home to be where his family is, for as long as he has had a family.  ❝ and marsali and i married in the west indies. it has been...quite a journey. ❞ he considers himself as scottish as he does french, but fraser’s ridge is full of scots. it is almost like lallybroch, like home. better, for milady is here, and murtagh, and now a sister, too.  ❝ i’ve never had a sister, but i think i like it. ❞ if faith had...but she did not, and discovering a sibling at their age must be very different to growing up with one.  ❝ milord is...the best father anyone could ask for. and we have many more cousins, in scotland. ❞

c&j have been in-laws since he and marsali married in season 3 and grandparents since the middle of season 4 THIS IS NOT A NEW THING JUST BC BREE AND ROGER ARE GETTING MARRIED ADOPTED CHILDREN ARE JUST AS FUCKING “REAL”

        ❝ i don’t know what you are talking about, m’sieur. ❞ he thinks this is a game. he thinks monsieur balfour is playing with him. but thinks is not the same as knows, and if there is food on offer, fergus wants to be sure. his stomach is bottomless.  ❝ you’re never a bother. where is this food? ❞

        ❝ i don’t know, but it is what happened. what does homo sapiens mean? ❞ he’s not entirely sure he’s supposed to have spoken, but he has anyway. fergus frowns.  ❝ i---i don’t know. my height, maybe, he looked rich. ❞

        ❝ there is someone in the house! ❞

perhaps i love too much

        ❝ i am telling you, he was a complete stranger. he just...walked up and gave me the bag. ❞

        his irritability is, naturally, immediately forgotten.  ❝ what? no, no, no, i am hungry. i’m always hungry. ❞

        ❝ i just want an easy life. what’s wrong with that? ❞

        ❝ whatever you’re going to ask, the answer is no. ❞

bonjour please like for a starter!
