    Summary

    He may never have been allowed to be an Englishman, but Francis Crozier proved to be a man made for the Arctic.

    Whilst James’ own body failed him utterly at the moment he had greatest need of it, Francis bloomed as much as a man could under the effects of scurvy and suspected lead poisoning. Who could say if it was the drying out, or the constant exercise, or some innate property of Francis himself that drew forth in the presence of wrecked and desperate men. The man still had all of his goddamn teeth, which James found particularly vexing. But for as long as they were on the ice, Francis’ color was high and he threw himself into the harness with vigor - which made what followed their return to English soil all the more worrisome.

    Summary

    “Help me get him to a boat,” says Fitzjames, looking up at them and jamming his hands under Crozier’s arms as Jopson moves to take some of his weight. Crozier lurches forward away from them, scattering rocks under his boots.
    “It’s nothing.”
    “Francis, you’ve-”
    “Help me get back onto my feet.”

    Summary

    One is that the very first thing Francis Crozier says to James Fitzjames over a steaming cup of tar-black coffee, his hangover pulsing unpleasantly in the pulp of his teeth, is this: “I don’t play anymore, I compose.”

    And two, the very first thing James Fitzjames says to Francis Crozier, snowflakes caught in his hair, unblinking and smile only faltering for a split second, is this: “Well, I look forward to working with you all the same, Mr. Crozier. It’s an honor, really.”
