Notes:
Poem is "Answering Vice-prefect Zhang" by 王 維 Wang Wei. The translation I used is from here. Laurence and Tenzing (and Temeraire) are very happy being "bachelors" together, thank you very much.
I scoured the Internet for my real Tenzing facecast, Saugat Malla (who is closer to Tenzing's canon age and is actually Nepalese), but he rocks some truly egregious facial hair that Tenzing would not be caught dead with. Remy Hii is very nice to look at, so it's not a loss. And of course Black Sails is the ultimate Laurence aesthetic, so... Toby Stephens, obvs.
