❝     oh,   you’re  right,    i’m  so  sorry.    not  a  thief     ———     a  fancy  thief.     ❞        sarcasm  drips  heavy,   framed  by  polite  smile.    and  just  as  suddenly,   it  drops,   replaced  by  a  renewed  scowl.        ❝     i  asked  you  a  question.    you  still  haven’t  answered.     ❞

flynn  wrinkles  his  nose  at  the  other’s  laugh.      the  scowl  becoming more  of  a  pout  though there  is  still  no  effort made  by  the  man  to  remove  his  head  from  the  other’s lap.    ❛    it’s  bloody  russia,   of  course  i’m  cold  i  don’t  think  i’m  ever  not  cold.    ❜      

arching     a     brow     at     him,     she     remains     firm     in     her     disposition.     “     i’m     not     using     you.     in     auradon     people     do     nice     things     for     each     other     without     expecting     something     in     return.     it’s     called     being     selfless.     ”     turning     her     nose     up     with     a     wry     smile,     audrey     glances     him     over,     “     i     tell     you     what,     if     the     bird     lives.     you     get     your     jacket     back.     everyone     wins.     ”

“       i   do   too.       ”       she   matches   his   tone,   soft   hum   leaving   her   lips   from   the   kiss   to   her   shoulders.       “       are   you   saying   you   like   the   idea   of   when   me   missing   you   ?   because   if   you   just   say   so,   maybe   i   will.       ”       quiet,   nearly   silent   if   not   for   the   beating   of   her   heart   and   she   leans   closer,   enough   to   press   a   kiss   to   the   edge   of   his   jaw,   not   quite   his   throat   just   yet.   the   topic’s   grown   a   bit   too   real   for   her,   too   heavy,   and   she   makes   up   for   it   with   the   softness   of   her   kisses.

❝       ———    i  believe  we  differ  on  the  meaning  of  “fine.”       ❞          a  single  brow  cocks  atop  her  gaze,    something  not  far  from  amusement  glinting  within  the  amber  depths  of  pirate’s  eyes.    she’s  no  stranger  to  seasickness;    it’s  impossible  to  avoid.    even  the  most  steely  seafarers  can  catch  themselves  ill  at  the  hands  of  the  sea.    mouth  parts,    a  laugh  manifesting  as  a  light  huff  of  air.          ❝       if  you  must —    at  least  have  the  decency  to  do  so  off  the  side  of  the  ship.       ❞

❛    oh  shut  the  hell  up   ❜          flynn  reached  up  to  swat  at  the  other’s  hands.   a  scowl  settled on  his  lips  as  he  was  tempted to  move  his  head  from  the  other’s lap.       ❛      i  think  you’ve  told  me  you  hate  me  enough  times  that  i  remember  now     ❜

flynn. 

❛    i’m  okay  with  that ,   ❜          fingers  grasps  onto  the  last  piece  of  the  bread  as  the  other  practically forces  him  to  accept  it.          ❛   cause  then  that  means  less  years  having to  look  in  the  mirror and  seeing  wrinkles and  hopefully  i  wouldn’t  have  gone  grey  yet.    or  at  least  not  too  bad      ❜          

❛   ——   well,    i’m  not  saying that.    i  tend  to  have  a  crush  on  all pretty  people.  .      ❜        he  raised  an eyebrow     ❛     oh  is  that  my  type??    know any  cunning  con  men  you  can  introduce me  to?        ❜

What would you do to ensure justice? You know full well I don’t speak of lofty ideals and courts and magistrates, dearest. What would you do to those that hurt you? If I dropped them in your lap, what would you do? What kind of pain could you possibly inflict upon them? You are right to do so. You are right to want to do so. Ignore the screaming, dearest, you are the hand of justice now, and they hurt you. Do not look too closely at their faces, dearest. You are within your rights. You spell out your own rights, now. Are you happy about it? Are you certain that this is the right person you hold by the hair? Does your anger hurt less now?

❝    i think i can be the judge of what’s a waste of time or not,  thank you,    ❞      cassandra all but snaps,  her grip tightening on the collar of his shirt.   if one of the guards come by,  they’ll surely brush her aside.   take over,  as if she can’t get the job done herself,  even without the uniform.   better she handle this quickly & efficiently    ———    besides,  it’s a rare case that someone approaches her for help.      ❝    that money went somewhere,  &  you were the last one in the shoppe.   so spit it out.   where’d it go,  thief ?    ❞

“     i   don’t   pout   !     ”        she   does.   and   she   hates   that   it’s   clearly   become   a   joking   matter.   adjusting   over   him,   she   settles   comfortably,     “     i’m   not   scared   of   losing   you,   i   just   think   i’d   get   BORED   WITHOUT   YOU.   there’s   a   difference.     ”     pad   of   her   thumb   lightly   traced   over   his   bottom   lip.  

he’s  trying  to  back  away  from  her  and  it’s  all  the  more  suspicious.   she  sees  the  wallet,   she  sees  how  familiar  it  is.   blue  and  the  embellished  crown.   dimitry  tries  to  kick  it  away,   but  mal  manages  to  pick  that  up  before  it  goes  too  far,   stuffs  it  somewhere  safe   —-   some  where  the  con  man  won’t  be  able  to  snatch  off  of  her.   “   yeah,   sure  you  haven’t.   ”

“     oh,   you   don’t   ?     ”     she’s   unconvinced,   brows   still   furrowed   yet   her   lips   gave   herself   away,   the   slightest   twitch                  GHOST   OF   A   SMILE.   manicured   brow   arched,   discs   flickering   over   his   features,     “     i   don’t   like   being   messed   with.     ”     tongue   clicked   at   the   roof   of   her   mouth   before   she   was   skillfully   placing   herself   over   his   lap,   legs   bent   on   either   side.   digits   lightly   brushed   through   tufts,   tugging.      “     why   do   you   do   it  ?     ”
