                   ❛  i mean, you do look the part of a noblewoman,  ❜  merlin admits after a beat and it is very true ; one look at her would say as much, and not just because he’s spent years mending royal fabrics.  ❛  and it’s not uncommon for nobles to argue for no apparent reason  ——  but picking fights isn’t exactly the best way to blend in as a rich stranger.  ❜

“Exactly. Most of what people say is meaningless d r i v e l. I have much more fun planning games for people.” The tip of his tongue peeked out from the corner of his lips as she leans in closer. There is still a part of his mind actively keeping an eye on her, making sure she wasn’t about to take him for a mug and try to do something stupid like escape, but for now he was mostly enjoying the moment. Just because he was now a Dark One didn’t mean that the old Captain Hook didn’t exist anymore, he was still there. “A good pirate makes time for the finer things in life Lass. I’d be more than w i l l i n g to show you that the stories are very much TRUE.” A smirk graced his lips, letting the hook move away from her chin so that he could tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

       “it was all over your face - you didn’t have to say anything.” she bites her lip, her knuckles whitening as she clutches her fists while crossing her arms defensively over her chest. “look, it’s okay. don’t even worry about it, we can still be friends.”

“Well, you never said you did.”

"I can't believe I am marrying THEM."

"I want marry whoever I want!"

"You're not as bad as I imagined."

"No. NO! NO! NO! I am NOT getting married to YOU!"

"If you touch me I swear you will not live to regret it."

"This isn't quite what I expected."

"So... now what do we do?"

"I don't think I could have dreamed of anyone better."

"Let go of me!"

"You want me to marry THEM?"

"You can't make me go through this."

"I want to marry for love, not because I have to."

"I don't want to marry them. I want to marry you."

"Take me away from this. I can't do this."

"Will I like them?"

"What do they look like?"

"You can't keep me prisoner like this!"

"I don't care about your precious alliance."

"This is strictly business."

"I will never love you."

"Wow. I can't believe I'm marrying them..."

"I think I fell in love with you anyway."

"I would rather die."

"You can't make me love you."

"I love someone else!"

"Perhaps we can make this work."

"You're not my type."

"I'm nervous."

"I don't care if they like me or not."

"This is stupid. I don't want to do this."

"So you just sold me off to the highest bidder..."

"I can't believe how lucky I am."

"I paid a good price for you."

"You will have no children with me."

"So, we're doing this?"

    Sontarans. The word resonated through her head, bouncing around, looking for a memory that coincided with it, quickly realizing that she’d heard the Doctor himself mention the sontarans before,THEN realizing that she’d MET one before; Strax. She bit her lip in a fury against herself, the ‘man’ having slipped her mind what with Strax not being a particularly nasty creature towards her, she’d forgotten that at one point he himself was a bloodthirsty killer. It was at this point that she knew that possibilities two and three weren’t the case; the woman WAS telling the truth.  

    “And what’do we do if they FIND us? We can’t exactly saunter up to them and give them a kick in the nuts.” She exclaimed, fear starting to take her. Although if it came down to it she most likely would kick an alien in its babymakers were she fighting for her life.

“Well did you actually expect that I l i s t e n e d to people when they talked to me?” The hook was still resting under her chin, making sure that she kept her gaze TRAINED on him. While she might believe that he had some devilish plan for her, he hadn’t actually got that far with her yet, he was just enjoying watching her imagination run away with her. “It’s all part of the g a m e, Love.” He murmured, subconsciously leaning a little closer, as if she couldn’t already hear him, it wasn’t like they were in the middle of the tavern. “Can’t leave old TOYS lying around now can I? That’s just irresponsible.”

    “What does it say up there, hm?” The Doctor asked, cocking his head to the side, upwards towards the words reading,  

POLICE BOX

    “—-And, as someone who’s spent, oh, roughly 750 years of their life inside that thing I think I can say this with a clear conscience; you have the right to remain silent.” He said, flashing her a grin as he marveled over his comeback, despite in reality all it being was a diversion from the conversation, or another very long winded way of saying ‘stop insinuating that I want to make out with you, regardless of whether I actually do or not‘.  

    His expression did soften, however, as it relieved him to hear that she UNDERSTOOD and would comply to his emotions, perhaps only because him opening up about them in the first place was a rare occurrence indeed.

clara rolls her eyes, but she can’t suppress the giggle that escapes her. and that aside, his grin is STUPIDLY contagious, so she can’t help grinning back, eyes still gleaming with mischief. of course she noticed the change of subject, but she won’t bring it back up now. she’ll wait till later --- when it’s the worst possible time --- and t h e n she’ll continue talking about it. he hasn’t heard the end of this yet.

“c’mon, then. you want me to stick around? show me something AWESOME. if you’re up to the challenge, of course.” she says, grinning almost d e v i l i s h l y and looping her arm through his. despite all the teasing --- and despite her running off after hot blokes every time they land somewhere --- she loves traveling with the doctor. she wouldn’t trade it for anything, not now, not ever. not for all the hot blokes in the world.

i ship clara x happiness. 

but on a more serious note, the ships stated in my rules are just the first ones that came to my mind, so my ships aren’t limited to the ones stated in my rules. i’m always open to shipping, though that’s not the only thing i’m here for. 

THE MAIN THING ABOUT SHIPPING IS C H E M I S T R Y. always always always. like even with canon ships, if the writer and i don’t click properly, or it doesn’t feel like their specific portrayal of a character is clicking with my portrayal of clara, it’s unlikely i’ll be shipping with them. but also im a shipwhore so.
