The hour chimes in the shadowed corridor of the Royal Navy dormitory. Hood does not move from the center of the room, encased in satin and sheer nylon. The usual elegant drape of her uniform is replaced by the cling of a blue bunny top, the weight of fluffy ears bowing her head. Prince of Wales stands before her, satisfaction a cold light in her eyes. Prinz Eugen lingers near the doorway, a hand covering her mouth, but her amusement is audible in every stifled breath. ‘One week,’ Wales announces, her voice smooth as polished steel. ‘You will report to Bismarck’s quarters each evening. As her attendant. In that.’ She gestures, a dismissive flick of her wrist. Hood’s jaw tightens. The air tastes of perfume and quiet cruelty. The joke, it seems, is binding.
