Title: Try Not To Get Anybody Killed…
Author: [livejournal.com profile] deird1
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 150 (May - "The Glorious Twenty-Fifth Of May", from Discworld)
Character: Wesley



Try Not To Get Anybody Killed…

Half of him wants to put someone else in charge of this.
The other half knows he’s the best one for the job. (Watchers always are.)

A small part of him is wishing he’d never come to Pylea in the first place.

Approximately one quarter of him is wanting to risk everything on a full-frontal assault. Take a heroic last stand!

At least a sixth is preoccupied with coldly assessing the troops – deciding who is expendable and who is not. The rest of him is hating himself for it.


Watchers don’t save everyone. That’s the job. (But they always try.)

The rest of him is hating himself for it.

And that's the bit that speaks volumes about the character. Wonderful.

Nice work. Wes thinking and re-thinking the attack and hating himself for having to lead these men into death is in character and well drawn in this tight piece.
