Favorite Scenes Between...Buttons & Auntie
Just a quick one this week. Buttons and Auntie only have a couple scenes together, but I enjoy their interactions.
When Auntie approaches Buttons on the Red Flag in 2x02
First off, the “red sky at morning” backdrop is ominous but lovely
When Auntie says, “But then you probably know that,” (she’s searched for him “far and wide,”) I love Buttons’s response and the stare he gives her: “Best not assume we know anything at all, ma’am”
I like Anapela’s super-dramatic whisper on, “Be gone, wise demon. Await for me above”
When Auntie gives Buttons the spell book in 2x02
Another great reaction shot from Buttons when Auntie says, “I see you've adopted the form of a humble man, sea witch”
His looks during these scenes are so good, because they’re so plausible for both Sea Witch Buttons and Non-Sea Witch Buttons Acting Like He Knows What Auntie’s Talking About. We get our answer a bit later, of course, but in this episode, Ewen is playing Buttons’s responses straight down the middle
I like Auntie averting her eyes from Buttons as she offers him the spell book, telling him, “Take it, thou demon. Use it wisely”
Omg, I love Buttons’s, “Oh, aye…Ohhh, aye!” while he looks at the book, his eyes getting wider as he unfolds it. He’s so happy!
