Considering the discussion on [info]indeedsir, I might just end up having to have Jeeves take a ready distraction and exacerbate it, just so that Bertie has his hands full.
*cough* I have no idea of what kind of discussion you might be referring to. Not at all. *shifty eyes*
Jeeves strikes me as the kind of guy who clings to propriety and duty like a security blanket.
That is very true. I like the notion (put forward in a fic a few days ago) that Jeeves is using his valet-status as a persona of sorts. I'm not going to such lengths as suggesting that he's a spy/super criminal or anything, but I do believe that Jeeves *must* be hiding something behind his rather stiff exterior. Not neccesarily something evil, just his humanity. That's what I like about Stephen's take on Jeeves (which I know was neccesary due to the lack of Bertie narrative); he comes across as human.
Bertie, otoh, is so expressive and unafraid to show himself and how he's feeling that he's the perfect foil for Jeeves. I really think that Jeeves would be attracted to that forthrightness, along with the good heart, and Hugh Laurie looking absolutely adorable and edible at the same time as Bertie.
Amen to that. Bertie needs Jeeves, that much is obvious, but Jeeves needs Bertie too. They balance eachother so well.
