Thank you! And no worries. I'm the worst about commenting so in turn I am very understanding that other people also often feel this way (even if they're not).
Thank you! He is very smart. Especially when you consider that Horatio wanted him on the Hotspur and in command of his flagship. Even Hornblower's complete meltdown on the Lydia wasn't about Bush's competence. If Hornblower weren't so preoccupied with thinking he's terrible, I think we'd get more of him mooning over how great Bush is.
I hadn't decided on where to put in him Texas. I kinda liked the idea of him being an Austin boy. Although I was taking some inspiration of me growing up with a number of children of people involved in the oil industry who hailed from Dallas when I plopped him down in Texas. To be 100% honest though, I hadn't made the Bush connection in my head re: Texas Bush's. You'll just need to imagine the *headdesk* I did when I read your comment. Now I'm going to have to write something about that - even if it's just a line or two. And the whole not being able to cope with the weather was another significant inspiration for making him Texan.
:D I hope to write more in it. It's actually been a little bit of an escapist project for me.
