Why, me! Mark snickers, but doesn't dare look back to see their face. He would never make his head a target. "I told you! It's not cowardly, it's a distraction."
He would never make his head a target, unless Asher keeps calling him a coward, in which case he has to look out from behind his spot to yell back at them.
"I'm being strategic!"
-
“ Yeah, and that strategy is being a coward ! ” Asher shouts back. When his head just barely dips out from behind the tree, they toss their snowball, the snow smacking against the trunk and sending ice splattering.
Crafting another snowball, they weigh it in their hand as they shift their own weight. Biding their time. They know he’ll leave hiding, eventually ! They just have to lure him out.
“ The brave knight is too cowardly to face his opponent ? Ha ! I laugh in the face of your cowardice, so-called knight of the realm. ”
They just have to keep calling him that word! No matter. He's not seven anymore, and he isn't going to let that get to him. Even as he shouts at them in return, "I'm not a coward!"
Mark's shoulders hunch in surprise at the sound of the snowball hitting the tree. "Knight of the realm...?" A role? "Well, perhaps this knight sees no opponent in someone who can't even name all his shampoos."
But he's not a coward. He'll show them! He runs from one tree to another, throwing a snowball at Asher while he's out in the open.
“ Then why are you hiding ? ” Asher taunts, lobbing a snowball between their hands. It’s only a matter of time before he breaks ! They just have to be patient.
They have to bite back a laugh. “ And what does shampoo have to do with knights ? I didn’t think knights had shampoo. ”
A snowball comes haphazardly barreling at them, and Asher barely manages to slide out of the way. It almost sends them stumbling, but a couple stumbling steps farther away manage to keep them on their feet. Maybe if they can slowly move closer …
“ You’re really stretching the whole ‘ not a coward ’ thing. Why, I don’t think you even have a plan at all. Hardly heroic. ”
@starywisteria asked : #6 - Person A falls hard onto the ice and Person B carries them home and takes care of them. [ Kitty be like "Beauty. Grace. *falls on her fucking face*" ] // [ prompt ] ~~~
“ Gosh… I’m sorry, Kitty, ” Asher bade with an embarrassed laugh. Returning to the sofa they’d set her down onto — after carrying her all the way back, to merit of their surprising strength — they wrapped a blanket around her shoulders and knelt on the ground nearby. “ Maybe I went a little too fast, hah… I get excited, on the ice. ”
Crouching by her, they rested their arms on their knees and looked up to her. “ Is your ankle doing alright ? Hopefully anything else will just be bruising … I’m afraid I didn’t really see what happened, just heard the aftermath. ”
To think, another skating friend had crashed on the ice ! A common occurrence, in honesty, for anyone who went onto the ice … but Asher couldn’t help but shoulder some of the blame. Maybe they should have stayed closer, acted as a balance for her !
“ Do you want something to drink, or eat ? It was pretty cold out there … ”
10 ice skating prompts
requested by: anon
Feel free to use and reblog!
#1 - Person A has never been ice skating before and Person B has to teach them how to do it
#2 - Person A actually didn't want to go ice skating with their friends, and then they also bump into some stranger on the ice, but this stranger turns out to be a welcome turn of events...
#3 - Person A has never been particularly great at ice skating but somehow skating in synchrony with Person B is no problem at all
#4 - Person A takes Person B ice skating because they know it's something B used to love when they were younger
#5 - Person A just went ice skating with Person B for the hot chocolate afterwards, and B happily indulges them
#6 - Person A falls hard onto the ice and Person B carries them home and takes care of them
#7 - Person A finds a crying child on the ice rink who has lost their parent. A helps them look for their parent until they see a very distraught Person B, looking around in panic
#8 - Person A and Person B are figure skaters and are preparing together for a big contest. The growing tension between them doesn't help
#9 - Person A and Person B are out together ice skating on a lake until they hear a dangerous cracking sound from beneath them...
#10 - Person A can't take their eyes off Person B while ice skating because the snowflakes just stick so ethereal in their hair and their eyelashes
Send “⛸️” for our muses to go ice skating together
Alternatively, send “the ice is right there” if you cannot see the saymbol

If pieces of candy have mysteriously ended up in people’s pockets, it definitely wasn’t them. Especially if those pieces of candy are held together by a bit of orange tissue paper, tied with a small bit of green twine. Happy Halloween !

send “ POST - IT NOTE ” for what my muse would leave yours in a post - it note message !
( could be left on their desk, on the mirror, on the fridge, etc ! )

@stageplayhero asked :
Mark has been in an ongoing game of secret present giver with Asher (or as secretive as he gets), so the fact that he’s shown up personally is quite a shock. Bright smile, and a package in his hands tied neatly with a ribbon.
“Hello there, old friend!” he says as he hands over the present. “Even older friend, now. So very old.”
The package is small, holding only a note. An official promise of a vacation on a boat, out at sea and away from all that paperwork. The teasing drops from Mark’s voice into something genuine. “I hope you enjoy it. Happy birthday.” (@stageplayhero birthday :0!!) ~~~~
Asher is quite surprised when they open the door to find Mark. They’d assumed he would try to run away ! At first, they watch with an air of skepticism — but then narrowed eyes widen at the sight of the box. A present ? For them ?
… They hadn’t expected anyone to remember.
“ Not that old … ” Asher grumbles, in a way that’s meant to be teasing … but they’re far more distracted by the box.
Taking it carefully, they manage to unwrap it … to find a piece of paper. “ Mm — ? ” A confused look as they took it out … and then stunned silence as they read it.
With a stride, Asher closed the distance between them, enveloping Mark in an embrace. Their face hidden from view, it might have been difficult to tell their reaction, were it not for the rarity of such a display. A tight embrace … and a quiet, muffled “ thank you ” against Mark’s shoulder.
… They’re already looking forward to it, with intent to figure out their next free weekend as soon as they go back inside.
( puts a party hat on as(h/t)er and gently nudges them onto the dash again )
Asher hums in thought, seemingly having to contemplate the question. “ Mm . . . No, I believe it’s just you. You’re the only one easy enough to assault in their own home. William is a much more difficult target, you see. ”
Their teasing smile turns to an amused smirk. “ A game ? I’d be delighted. ” Taking their feet off of the table, they lean towards it, setting the full deck back down. The last card is needed before they can shuffle the deck properly, after all.
“ You must be eager to lose more money. ”
Mark steps forward to his doom, sliding the missing card across to them. “That’s not fair. William is a soldier!” He’s not easy to assault in his own home! He’s just… tired. Yes, that’s it.
“Not this time.” He smiles as he sits. His confidence may be foolish at this point, but it’s not as if he can’t afford to lose a game to Asher. So long as he doesn’t get too sucked in. “I could have come up with an ingenious new strategy, and you would have no idea.”
Strategy. He should start thinking on that.
Asher shrugs, seemingly giving in … save for the teasing smile on their face. They have more important things to worry about than Mark’s bad reaction times — like his inability to keep his money in his pocket !
“ Mm, I can’t wait to see it in action, then, ” Asher says, a hint of sarcasm in their words. Taking the missing card back and adding it to the deck, they shuffle it between their hands, cards flipping masterfully with more flair than needed — but where else is Asher going to put their skills to use ?
“ Since we’re on your territory, I’ll be gracious and let you pick the game. ” Asher looks over to Mark, smiling in a way too innocent to truly be innocent at all.
If a certain dog gets some extra treats for I.nternational D.og Day, it definitely wasn’t them.
a thought. asher as prof. h.arold hill from the m.usic man.
i was thinking about this my entire walk definitely not because i was only listening to that musical the whole time so
asher would, tbh, make an excellent conman if that was where their career path had gone. the intelligence / quick thinking / knowledge analysis of a lawyer but without any of the morals, pff. plus i could definitely see them having been surrounded by con people where they grew up. if they hadn’t become a lawyer, who knows 🤷 maybe that’s where they would have gone.
if you don’t know the plot of the musical — conman goes between towns selling “ boys bands ” , collecting the money for instruments / uniforms / lessons and then skipping town without teaching them anything.
asher conman that goes between towns ?? but then they end up in a town that they actually change for the better and they meet someone they actually like ?? and maybe it makes them realize how they’re doing exactly what they hadn’t wanted to do as a job when they grew up ?? idk maybe it’s just silly but i’m thinking about it
