Author's Note: Moffit was the hardest of the three to portray. I hope I did him justice.
Tully's thoughts turned to Moffit. He remembered when the Doc had first joined the team, it had been right after Cotter had been killed. He had been a little wary of him, especially after he had learned Moffit was a professor. He had also heard the English were rather haughty. But he wasn't at all what Tully had thought he'd be like. He liked and respected the Doc. He enjoyed listening to Moffit's lectures on the desert. He would tell him interesting facts about the desert or the tribes, which Tully filed away in his head for later use. Sometimes Tully thought Moffit didn't even realize no one but Tully listened to his discourses.
Moffit was witty and charismatic. He could always make a droll remark in the face of danger. But behind his witty comebacks, Tully saw the fear every time Hitch got hurt or Troy was a little rash. He was like a movie set with all its false fronts. Once you got beneath the façade of sarcastic remarks, you saw someone who cared deeply about his friends.
Moffit was a great leader, but different from Troy. He was more cautious and less willing to take unnecessary risks. He had called them "bloody idiots" the time they had rescued the dog.
Moffit was a ladies' man. Women were drawn to him because of his accent and charming ways. He was sophisticated even in the middle of the desert.
His use of proper English amused Tully. Moffit was forever constructing his sentences in inverted or mixed order. His command of the English language often made him seem out of place in the army.
Tully enjoyed being Moffit's driver.
