[ james is used to private charters, small luxury planes with every convenience of a hotel right there and personally catered to him and whatever other members of mi6 he happens to be travelling with. these expenses are rarely spared when operations are important enough to have them on a mission that doesn't require immersion; this is routine exchange, practically security detail for bond as he accompanies Q to a rendezvous of sorts. so bond has taken to blaming the quartermaster for their being in first class on their way to istanbul. eve mentioned something about it possibly subduing his phobia, 'small charters crash much more often than commercial planes,' she said, as it that would make the whole thing any less ridiculous.
of course, seeing Q squirm has more than made up for the inconvenience. ]
Don't over do it, there will be no armrest left for the landing.
[ he speaks softly, all the other overhead lights around them off, as not to disturb the others. Q is entirely right in assuming there's a smirk on his face and he doesn't bother hiding his amusement in his comment.
the flight attendant steps over a few moments later with a tray and hands off two drinks to him. he smiles at her, dripping with charm and a lingering gaze (shared, of course) before she walks away to help another guest. bond places one of the glasses, a martini naturally, in front of Q before taking a sip of his own. Q had been mid-freakout when she came around the first time taking orders so bond took the liberty. ]
