Hee, that must have been fun to write. It just had that air of mocking, and that's always fun to write. It was certainly fun to read. It also made me laugh a few times, which I absolutely love. THat stupid Duke! How did such an imbecile come to ruin their plans? It seems wrong, somehow. I think it also showed a lot of insight into his character, the way he found it strange that Christian could write something while it was being performed - that really shows how little spontaneity and passion there is in his soul. Ugh, I hate him. I really liked the constipated weasel line - made me crack up. Very creepily written, well done!

Oooh, good good. Perfectly Duke-ish. *grr* Don't you just HATE him?

Though you gotta love his singing voice.

Just gotta.

This is wonderfully written, I must say, and very true to the Duke's character. Well done. Keep up the good work.

good writing, perfect characterization. i loved it.

Not bad. :) I liked the "constipated weasel," LOL! It was interesting, although I have forgotten about the Argentinean and the maharaja...forgive me.

Beautifully written. Dark...creepy...but just great!

that was excellent! u sent chills up my spines from his...well...chilling descriptions! please write more (not necessarily more duke stories though ;D )

"He had never realized that the bedroom eyes made him look like a constipated weasel."

That is a good line!

"He had never realized that he bedroom eyes made him look like a constipated weasel."

:snorts: Pretty close to the mark there. . .

I really liked this. It describes the Duke's mindset perfectly. . . glad to see that he's not completely dense after all. Beautiful, concise, flowing writing style. It works wonderfully in the context of the movie.
