Summary
While Q isn’t one to mistake mere carefulness for something like kindness, he's sure that Bond is doing a fair job of toeing the line between the two. Had Bond volunteered himself for this as well? Or did someone along the chain of command decide that the logistics would sort itself out organically amongst all available agents and just leave the house keys out?
Either way, Q is glad. He’ll take whatever small amount of mindfulness that Six can spare, and for someone who has such a great capacity for violence, Bond can sometimes be so very capable of great kindness, too. The hands that are carefully removing Q’s favourite books from their box, the same hands that helped packed them in there – Q has seen them raw and bloodied, the skin scraped right off the knuckles and flesh cut down to the bone sometimes.
And yet.
And yet, here they are.
(A love story about people and places, in parts.)
