[Porthos is usually in Samara - although perhaps not as much lately as he used to be, over the years. Sometimes he'll be gone for full weeks. Never for too long, though, in the end -- and he always does come back. But it's hard to say no when there are tasks to complete on behalf of the queen (and the fact that Porthos should be involved with the queen as some kind of guard is perhaps a little unexpected, or some kind of messenger). He's been back in Samara a few weeks now, though, and settling in again.]
[He's catching up with d'Artagnan while he's on his patrol, falling into step with him and not seeming too bothered by it all -- or too distracted, but perhaps his mind is elsewhere. There are complicated feelings on this for him, things he can't necessarily relate or confess to to anyone, in the end. It leads to a lot of internalization.]
[In the meantime, he's catching up with old friends, as usual.] Hey.
