for belle (@resolutevalor) | ‘ 🌲’

❝ are you always this stubborn? ❞ the grinch marched behind belle impetuously. a tight pout crossing his features, long fingers swaying with the way he moved. how could he have allowed some naive girl to take the reins and boss him around? this was his neck of the woods . . until it wasn't.

❝ y'know, if you had just listened ta' me instead of follow that silly useless map in yer' hands . . maybe we would've found what you were lookin' for. now you got both of us lost. ❞

『 🌈┊✧･ﾟ:*✿ 』 dorothy grimaces a little at the "welcome" mat that greets her as she arrives to the grinch's door ( buzz off ! ) regardless of that though; she still knocks gently. waits for a handful of moments. knocks a little bit harder...harder...even harder until she's just shy of banging on the wood before it finally opens. if he didn't come within the next minute or two she would have indeed left.

❝ oh um --- ! hello mr. grinch. forgive me but i just wanted to stop by and give this to you ? princess ozma and i are inviting everyone in oz to attend a three-night banquet in the emerald palace. she's still fairly new in her role && she's eager to connect with her subjects, hear all of your concerns, and answer any questions you might have. she would have come here with me but she's come down with an awful sickness. ❜❜ she holds out a small scroll with an emerald ribbon tied around it's middle.

why the grinch opened the door, he couldn't tell you. if it made him feel better, at least he regretted it the instant that he did. the alarm system was torn down years ago, since he got sick of it going off and startling his peace and quiet. from now on, he decided to just rig traps — but somehow, this little auburn-haired freak waltzed right past them.

there were bags hanging heavy beneath his eyes, for no reason at all other than his health aging faster than he was. his pursed lip tightens, accentuating that pout, and hunching over slightly to remember who dared to address him.

the glare is diverted to the scroll in her dainty hand just before he can laugh in her face. once snatching the rolled paper from her, grinch wastes no time unveiling the contents of an invitation, nearly ripping it from his clumsy handling.

a nasally wheeze erupts from him as he stares at the elegant ink on paper.

❝ oh, me? you serious? ❞

in an abrupt moment, his face directs towards the girl, and his look of amusement had faded. ❝ why? ❞ he snapped gruffly. narrowing his gaze yet again. ❝ i'm not interested in being some . . guest of honor, a spectacle, a zoo animal, or circus monkey . . unless i'm getting paid. ❞

the scroll is then tossed behind him, and then he straightens up.

some people who knew the grinch's habits, would be surprised to find him in this position. contrary to popular belief, he did enjoy a bath every now and then . . but not when he was abruptly sodden. by the hands of someone else. and yet again, fulfilling someone's amusement at his own expense.

heavy, matted fur is shaken out by his drooping ten-inch fingertips; droplets of water going everywhere.

❝ well, this isn't something i particularly asked for! ❞ he exclaimed gruffly. rotten teeth bared in annoyance. ❝ pray tell, how this helps me — and if i get a turn? ❞

this wasn't the first nor will it be the last time someone was pushed into the water. like she said, it was like an initiation. it's not like the mermaids were around to drown anyone either. it was safe enough. "no one does. hence the pushing." at least he didn't have wings like tink did. those would weigh her down too much. "it shows that you can actually take care of herself. if you can't swim, you won't survive here. but you did it." at least he could swim. "if we get someone new, you can push them in all you want." she crossed her arms over her chest. "i wouldn't recommend doing it to peter, though. he has the lost boys on his side." and her too.

he huffs.

❝ and pray tell, why this is a requirement anyway? ❞ the grinch once again shakes his wet fingertips off. ❝ y'know, i know plenty o' other survival skills. i bet i'm useful in other ways, rather than merely cosplaying mermaid for you people. but i usually don't have a reason t' provide services for others . . not when they don't spot me. ❞

❛ well, what’s so strange about that? ❜

snatching the book from kelsey's grasp. grinch's lip tightens in its pursed form, glaring at her. it wasn't out of hatred, but rather the bitterness that built up from his past over time. he couldn't help but see himself in her — the weird, quiet kid, who got picked on for just being themselves. no matter how old he was — or she was — that would never go away.

❝ what's weird is you . . bein' holed up, like a little mouse! you don't do anything else, nothing interesting, no hobbies, besides have your nose in a damn book, do you? ❞

it just came out. he didn't mean to sound so… cruel. maybe he'd turned into the type of person that tormented him, because of all that undealt with anger.

❛ what are you doing out here by yourself? ❜

an owlish, dumbfounded look. he found her inquiry rather amusing, considering what he was . .

❝ do i look like i belong amongst society? ❞ the rhetorical question comes out rough. much like the way he looked. then he gives her a once over, assessing ( or judging ) her presentation. ❝ ya' look silly. what are you, camping? little field trip to find sasquatch? ❞

❛ you’re about as intimidating as a butterfly. ❜

the grinch didn't like being underestimated. and who was this hag to tell him he's not intimidating? what could she do that made her so brave?

he'd bare his teeth, extract claws. little, they were, but at least he had some. black stumpy things.

grinch would lean in, curling extensive fingers as a threat.

❝ you have no idea what i am capable of, deary. i've eaten creatures bigger than you! ❞

@fleas-before-beauty liked for a starter with tinker bell!

"if you're trying to get an apology out of me, you're not getting one." tink wasn't sorry for trying to push him into the water. there wouldn't be a point. she'd rather have no apology at all than a fake one so she figured he'd be the same way. "it's like an initiation. everyone does it." except her. and peter. but they do it to everyone else.
