A list of puns related to "Battle Of Adrianople"
After WW1 why did the greeks not occupy adrianople, i'm aware the turks had beaten back the Greek anatolian campaign but adrianople is 8km from the greek border and had a large greek population so it seems an effort would have been made to keep it in greek hands. Also the border was drawn at the Ardas potamos river so was it just geographically decided that Turkey got adrianople?
"Where are the reinforcemints"
It was against all odds
That someone being >!Carlos!<.
The scene is the two of them in the graveyard after Dresden has buried Murphy.
This isn't a full-fledged fanfic, just one conversation that I wish had gone differently. I wish that Dresden hadn't treated Carlos as An Authority Figure, but as a good man trying his best to navigate an impossible situation. Here goes:
Point of departure:
> ββThe Council has spoken,β he said, just as tiredly, and turned to go.'
βWait, Carlos,β I said. He turned his head slightly.
βLook,β I said. βI get it. Youβre playing Council politics now. And of course, they made you come and deliver the news. Maybe they hoped Iβd start a fight and you could bury me right here. But Iβm not going to bite. Not today. I'm too tired, man.β I shook my head.
βYouβre right, Iβve gotten mixed up with some dangerous people. If I hadnβt, maybe we wouldn't have survived. And yeah, Iβm not telling you everything. Maybe that's for the best. When people get close to me...β My eyes traveled to the open grave.
βI miss Murph, Carlos. She was my best friend. And the thing about Karrin was, sheβd always give it to you straight. If I was really going all dark side, sheβd slap some sense in me. It hurts losing a friend like that.β I looked at him. βTwo friends, I guess.β I sighed.
βYou already know Iβm going to keep doing my thing here. Iβve got obligations, and Iβve got people who need me. And if the Council has something to say about that, they know where to find me. And, if it comes to it, I think you have a sense of who will be standing by me,β I said, gesturing at Michael. Carlos shifted uncomfortably.
βBut forget all that for a minute. At the end of the day, youβve been a better friend to me than I have to you. Iβm sorry man. You deserved better, and I owe you for that. I know you donβt trust Harry Dresden the man. So thatβs why Iβm saying this as the Winter Knight: thereβs an imbalance between us. And Winter pays its debts.β That got his attention. I took a bean out of my pocket.
βYouβve put your chips down on the Council. I can respect that. But you know full well that Peabody wasnβt the only person working to bring it down from the inside. So to you, to make things square between us, I offer exactly the same thing I offered Donald Morgan when he called: shelter, if things go sideways. If you need a haven, come find me, and I promise to hear you out. And if you just want to talk to someone about it, someone whoβs not in the thick of it, the
