Tell us about your favourite secret your muse keeps!
// The one sinister secret he has. It’s not light-hearted at all, it’s really dark, and it’s something he has never told anyone because he and a bunch of others made a pact years ago. It’s an internal struggle for him, really, because he is righteous and believes the truth should finally come out (and that they should have long done so), but also knows it will jeopardise his job and the jobs and lives of everyone involved even after all this time.
Is your muse a good liar? What about actor?
// Yes! Not a good actor, but he is good at lying. No blushing, no hint on his face. He can lie straight to your face without you noticing. It’s due to his job, really, because he even has to lie to the PM sometimes (okay, it’s easy to do so because the dude is slow).
// Oof. Depends. Loyal to his country? He would give his life for it. Loyal to people…? Technically, yes. If you have Gareth Mallory as your friend, you can bet your ass he will stay by your side through thick and thin and support you.
However, relationships…well, there was this one incident when he and a Second Lieutenant fucked in the stables while he was married, so…let’s say, he is not proud of this.
Other than that, he did have plenty of short-lived affairs in his life, even with female Ministers or others’ wives…
What is your muse’s most embarrassing secret?
// There isn’t much that manages to embarrass him, however, one thing he keeps secret and is too afraid to admit to anyone (not sure if you can say it is out of embarrassment; perhaps partly, though), is the fact that he sometimes sees one of the men who captured him in Northern Ireland. It doesn’t happen often anymore, but occurs occasionally; in the supermarket, on the street…
He has learned to live with it and won’t ever admit it to anyone out of fear they will call him crazy, or want him to see a therapist.
What is your muse’s most light-hearted secret?
// He steals the expensive biscuits whenever he has a meeting with the PM in Downing St. It’s become somewhat of an open secret among a few of the MI6 employees, so he usually has to steal enough biscuits to give them to them. That normally happens very hush-hush – he just stands in front of Moneypenny’s desk and wordlessly empties his jacket pockets before going into his office with his own little stash.
When word gets out he meets with the PM, the excitement of some cannot be contained, to the confusion of others.
Does your muse write in a diary? Describe.
// No, just kidding lmao He doesn’t have a diary he writes his innermost thoughts into; however, he does have a planner (which is mostly written into by Moneypenny), and used to have one throughout his time in the army as well. Sometimes he jotted down notes like, ‘saw Cleopatra again today,’ or, ‘had ice cream with M’.
He still has them.
