Charming, Rick Charming

Hello people of Disney, the name is Patrick Charming but everyone calls me Rick. I was born to British parents in France so I speak both flawlessly. I spend my time as a divorce lawyer in London. I'm happy to help out my friends, stop by sometime.

How could I know what I wanted, you just sort of sprung this on me? I’ve planned as far as dinner this evening, I guess I should have been planning what you would be doing when your lease was up too?

I find it interesting how you think I sprung this on you when I’ve been staying here more than I’ve been staying at my apartment and I did propose to you almost a year ago. Because by my reckoning that makes this conversation a long time coming, but clearly you’ve been trying to pretend that those things didn’t happen.

Oh.*closes book and sets it aside on the arm of the couch* Well I suppose you should do what you’d like in that regard dear. It is after all where you’ll be living. *shrugs and smiles a little clearly confused at this subject*

No. *pinches the bridge of his nose in mild annoyance* That’s not an answer. I need to know what you want because frankly I’m starting to feel like you don’t know what you want and part of me takes issue with that.

That seems like an entirely personal decision dear. I thought you quite liked your apartment, Cass had it fixed up so nicely. They’re not raising the rent are they?? 

Originally posted by watsonlove

No they aren’t raising the rent, but I’m not sure I see the point in paying for that apartment when I’m staying here with you and the girls 75% of the time. Really what I want to know is do you want me to officially move in or not? You know how I feel about you and the girls, but it is your house and I think you should have the final say.

*looks up from her book* Yes, dear. The girls and I just got back from the grocer about half an hour ago.

Good. I have a question I wanted to run by you. The lease on my apartment will be up next month. Neither Cass nor I are really using it anymore and I was wondering if you thought I should renew the lease or not.

….What planet do you live on?

I’d like to think I live on one where people don’t kill each other over a city block.

wendy-waiting:

I agree dear…But Rick..I have a favor to ask you. I haven’t been feeling well lately and I need a potion, I have all the supplies and the spell, but you know how these things go. Would you please brew it for me? 

You haven’t been feeling well? Is everything alright? Of course I’ll brew it for you, but I’ll be the first to admit that potions are not my strong suit. Which potion do you need me to brew for you?

Some do have to kill don’t they? Surely those who do see it as a matter of predator and prey. The lion isn’t demonized for killing the gazelle, they probably draw a similar comparison. 

I refuse to believe that they have to kill, I’m sure that they could stop before they kill the person. I don’t know for sure as I never have nor will I ever find myself in that position. But until I’m corrected, I will continue to hold that belief.

wendy-waiting:

Some people don’t quite value life the way we do…. Turns of the moon cause killing for sport for some. And there are others who’s concept of mortality is completely skewed. *shrugs & sighs* It’s terrible, I know. 

I can almost understand for those who have to get their food source from humans, but they don’t need to kill to get it. They either think that humans are toys, walking snack boxes, or insects to be exterminated. It’s deplorable.

I certainly hope not!! I’d loathe to think you and I are the only two practicing practical magic. 

I just don’t understand how it’s not a last choice for people. One would think that taking a life would be something to avoid at all costs.

[just-a-charming-guy]

That doesn’t automatically resort to killing people? Because that seems like a rarity among townsfolk today.

Why does everyone have to have a “turf”, what ever happened to live and let live?

Rick the sorcerer

Rick was born to a sorcerer father and a human mother. When he was little, he couldn’t understand the dislike his father expressed towards his sister. It was only when he got older and found out what he was that he understood. Sorcerers only have sons, so his sister was not their father’s biological daughter.

His father was raised in the old ways and always looked down on witches for being an inferior species. Rick grew up hearing that rhetoric from his father, but he was always skeptical of those beliefs. He became a lawyer, but he did not join the family business like his father wanted. Instead, he devoted his career to helping supernaturals who had been shafted by the system. He is non-confrontational by nature, but his desire for knowledge constantly leads him to seek out new spells. He doesn’t believe in using dark magic, but he does understand the need to have lethal spells in his repertoire.

Happy Mother’s Day || Wick

[wendy-waiting]

Wendy had imagined the moment she would be proposed to all her life. Over the years the vision had changed. At one point it had been a tall man with bright sky eyes on bent knee. In another it was a man with a bouquet of sweets,  a man with ginger hair or a man with a Harley that rumbled as she rode on the back of it. Now there she was being proposed to and all she could do was ungracefully choke on her chicken alfredo. “Wendy, will you marry me?” was drowned out by coughing. Couldn’t she have just waited to take the bite? Couldn’t she have just been done? No, she had to go back and poke at the scrap of chicken on her plate. It had to be extra chewy. It had to be bar none the most embarrassing experience of her life and ruin the sweet sentiment this sweet man was bestowing upon her. How bad must it look, poor man asks her to marry him and instead of answering she becomes so shocked she begins to choke on her dinner. The fit ended after an eternity, but her humiliation flushed her cheeks in a semi permanent stain. “I’m sorry.” She shook her head unsure of what exactly she was apologizing for; her lack of grace or her answer. Rick was looking at her torn somewhere between concern and confusion. Would she marry him? It took Wendy a moment to collect her thoughts, scattered as they were, like wisps of a wind blown dandelion. She blinked, “I appreciate your offer and I couldn’t imagine a better father for my daughters.” Wendy began rather diplomatically, trying to keep her thoughts in order.  “And I know things between us have moved slower than molasses on a cold winter day and that I am not always the most emotionally present partner.” Her speech had picked up the pace, she was losing her grip now. “I suppose I just need time to think, and I know that isn’t an answer. It just feels so sudden, even though I know this is years in the making and there’s nothing sudden. You probably need time to think too. OH what am I saying? I just…just..” Her voice trailed off. “I love you.” She added, which was a rare statement. Vulnerability wasn’t Wendy Darlings strong suit. This situation felt rather raw and continuously chafing to her. “I am so sorry I just need a moment to think.” 

[just-a-charming-guy]

Rick was patient as she tried to organize her thoughts and he gave her a small smile in response before reaching out to take her hand so he could brush a gentle kiss across the back of it. “If we’re being perfectly honest, I wasn’t expecting an answer when I asked.” He started before standing up to clear the plates from the table. “The last thing I want is for you to feel pressured into giving me an answer when you aren’t ready.” He added, turning to face her after placing the dishes in the sink. “This was...” He trailed off, trying to find the correct words to express himself. “My intention was to let you know that I’m ready when you are and I’m content to wait as long as you want. I just didn’t want to sit around with both of us waiting until the other has the courage to ask. The offer will remain open until you tell me to get out of your life and when you’re ready...if you’re ever ready, all you have to do is say yes.”

Wendy shook her head looking across the table at the dinner he had refused to let her help cook. Of course she tried to help, but Rick would have none of it. This is your day, he’d told her. So Wendy did what any good mother would do and stood in the door way offering gentle suggestions. ”Rick you’re too good to me.” Wendy smiled looking down at dinner. “I would’ve been more than happy to at least help make the salad. I know how you feel about cutting onions.” She shrugged and swung her feet gently under her seat. A very childish thing of her to do. Grown women don’t swing their legs under the table. Wendy was happy though. Happier than she had been in quite some time. And besides her feet didn’t quite reach the ground anyways . “You didn’t have to do all this, dear.”Wendy looked up from their meal towards him, for once not trying to contain to what extent she was feeling. “Thank you.”  

[just-a-charming-guy]

“I did have to do all this, not only are you a fantastic mother to two girls with no father, but you also mother everyone else you know. Allow me to at least show a little appreciation to try and thank you for all that you do.” He replied giving her a quick kiss on her cheek before pouring them both a glass of wine and sitting down across from her. They ate and made pleasant small talk and gradually the glasses emptied and the plates were bare of food. “Wendy Moira Angela Darling,” He started after they had stopped eating, “You have done well raising your two girls by yourself and I know you have expressed that they don’t need a father, but I have a small request to make of you. You know that I love you and that I adore your daughters and I would like to help you raise them. I would like to be their father. Wendy, will you marry me?”

Happy Mother’s Day || Wick

Rick had placed a bouquet of roses at her spot on the table for when she woke up and a card that he helped the girls sign. After a day spent with the five of them at the London zoo, Rick had Wendy’s brothers take the girls out for dinner. He had made Wendy’s favorite at home for the two of them and had turned off his phone so Cass would stop being obnoxious and texting him...or at the very least so he could more easily ignore her. “Happy Mother’s Day Darling.” He stated as he dished up a plate for her and set it at her spot at the table.
