"Elisa?" He asked, raising an eyebrow slightly and disregarding the things he said previously. "A friend?" He needed more information. Did Zyra know about this? Was it a girl? Maybe it was just a friend? Or… Nigel couldn’t possibly have a girlfriend could he? "And where did you meet this person?" He said, his full undivided attention now on Nigel.

[nigel-casimir]

"El-isa." He repeated, nodding at his father. "Yes, a friend." Nigel looked at his father, now slightly confused at how off topic that conversation had gotten. "I met her in the park... We got coffee and now we've been making whale puns ever since... Listen, is that a yes or a no on the money?"

A Strange Lunch Date || Nigel and Anna

[fixthishandinhand]

"It’s a long story… She says she was…" Anna brought her hands up to do air quotes. "Protecting me." because she still didn’t understand… not that Elisa had even tried to explain. "From what? I don’t know! But… We’ve been talking more lately… sort of. More than before…" She shrugged, muttering. "Not that it takes much to beat nothing." Under her breath. Of course she wasn’t really that bitter about it. It was just painful to think of all those years she’d missed with her sister. "It is! And it’s really really boring to be all alone.” She made a face of annoyance and disgust at the idea of being alone again for very long.

"I like white chocolate, and dark chocolate. But milk chocolate is my favorite. We always have it in the house. It’s one thing Elisa and I can’t live without!" She giggled. It was just as necessary as milk in anyone else’s house for the two young heiresses. "It could be, but you’re good… so far." She gave him a warning look that was ruined quickly by giggles. "For talking to my sister, being her friend. We look out for each other. And if you’re here you must be close… so I must approve." She said as if it were the obvious answer. "C’mon! To the kitchen!" She said, taking off down the hall, skidding a few feet in socks after a running start before looking back at him and waiting for him to catch up.

[nigel-casimir]

"Elisa is odd." He told her while shrugging and grinning, "I like her though. We have lots of fun. I um, I'm honestly even considering making her soup. She likes soup, right? Personally I love soup and I feel like it takes a special type of person to dislike soup, but I'd still like Elisa if she didn't like soup. She's nice to have around." Nigel made a face, trying to stop his rambling. "Maybe I should knit her something instead of make her soup, what do you think that she'd like more?" 

Nigel just nodded along with her while she rambled about chocolate. "Chocolate. Got it. I can keep that in mind." He grinned while she giggled, shoving his hands in his pockets while she watched her, when she gave him a look he did his best to keep a straight face before simply grinning. "I'm glad that you think I'm good. Yeah, I'd say that we're pretty close." He just nodded again before trailing behind her, looking around while he moved, "I'm coming, I'm coming."

Saxon nodded, expecting as much. “Well, I can’t give you anything if you don’t tell me how much.” He sighed deeply as he sat down in his chair. “Now, what are you going to use it on?” 

[nigel-casimir]

"Enough for some food then, cigarettes, paint, sometimes I like to buy random people on the street lunch, so there's that, Elisa might like to go out to dinner at some point." He shrugged, "it's a never ending list. Maybe I should get a gym membership." Nigel paused and looked at his father, still keeping a completely straight face, "that's a joke by the way."

She gave him a questioning look and then laughed. “Who doesn’t like pretzels?” Her eyes wandered around the park. “There!” She cried, pointing to a booth. “I see pretzels.” Her eyes twinkled mischievously. “Race you there?” She asked, then she was off, running towards the booth, laughing as around her passerbys gave her bewildered looks. 

[nigel-casimir]

Nigel blinked a few times when she started running. Nigel was not a runner, it wasn't that he was out of shape, he just didn't run. Or do anything that was particularly physical. Sighing, he started after her, not all that impressed at this point. When he caught up to her at the pretzel place, he did his best to try and regain his cool. "I don't really run... Just, for future reference."

A Strange Lunch Date || Nigel and Anna

[fixthishandinhand]

"She didn’t talk to me for years… I’m just happy she’s out of the house, even if I like spending time with her." She shrugged a bit. "I don’t know what she does, we’re still kind of… getting used to sharing again." She wasn’t sure how much Elisa had shared with the boy, but Anna wasn’t really in the habit of lying so naturally the truth just rolled off her tongue before she realized maybe Elisa hadn’t explained how they’d grown up.

Anna grinned and clapped in happiness. “Yes! We’ve got chocolate too. If you like chocolate, if not… you don’t belong here…” She said with a serious face that lasted all of 0.2 seconds before she grinned. “Plus if you’re Elisa’s ….friend…?” She eyed him in a manner that suggested she wasn’t sure what to call him. “You have to have my approval.” That much she was serious on.

[nigel-casimir]

"How did you live in the same house and never talk?" He asked her while looking a mixture of shocked and impressed. That was a feet, he made a mental note to never do anything that would cause her to get angry, he didn't feel like going years without talking to her. He'd become a very sad Nigel. "Sharing is always good. So is communication and human interactions. And food and water. All important for survival." He told the girl while nodding.

"I love chocolate, so long as it's not white. Chocolate wasn't made to be white and white chocolate isn't even real chocolate like things. There's no cocoa beans or anything even like it." His expression didn't change at all when she seemed to be trying to figure out what exactly he and Elisa were. If Elisa and Anna wanted to talk about it, he wouldn't mind. At the moment though he had no idea. "Approval is good, I feel like eating lunch together would be awkward if you didn't approve of me... For something.  I don't know what I'm being approved for, but I like it."

Awkward Myths || Nigel and Colette

Nigel loved the library, he loved the books, he loved the learning, he loved the quiet, he loved when he wasn't yelled at or kicked out for being loud. He loved it all. He never read the same book twice and rarely even finished the book he started reading, he simply enjoyed the feel of a book in his hands and the way the paper floated between his fingers as he turned the pages. Today he was hanging around the Mythology section. There was another person there too, one of the female type. He'd seen her before. More than once in fact, she seemed to enjoy the library too. He held the book close to his nose while he peeked over the top. Discretely, not, sliding over to her and watching her for a moment. "So Apollo and Artemis are not hooking up like I first thought. Turns out they're actually brother and sister, and she's sworn off men. So... That's a game changer." It might have been an odd way to start the conversation, but Nigel felt like it was a good ice breaker. He moved the book away from his nose ever so slightly and looked at her while turning the page. "Also, Artemis is kind of a bad ass. Which is great. Although women in Greece and the like have always been treated differently than the women here. I don't know why though, what was the point... Oh yes, I think it's great that she's a bad ass because a lot of people never respected women in history books and the like, so this," he poked his book while looking over at her, "this has got it right." He leaned forward, looking for some type of title on her book before leaning back again and standing up straight when he didn't see it. "Reading anything good?"

A Strange Lunch Date || Nigel and Anna

[fixthishandinhand]

She giggled when she actually got an amused sort of reaction at her joke. Normally the puns she made were only appreciated by her sister. Other people just gave her that really sort of look. “Yeah… sorry..” Who was he? Anna liked him already he seemed nice at least.

She couldn’t help but laugh at his impersonation of Jello. “That’s me!” She grinned widely. “Hey- Why don’t you come in and have lunch here? You can wait for her and our cooks can make anything even jello! I ust think they need to wait for it to set first… so it might be a bit… but we have anything else! And Elisa will be back sometime!” Plus Elisa trusted him enough that he was showing up here so he was definitely someone to get to know.

[nigel-casimir]

"Your sister is making me sad." He told the girl while putting his phone back into his pocket after he'd sent a message to Elisa. "What would she even be doing without me? Does she do fun things when I'm not around?" Nigel did fun things without Elisa too, just this morning he'd been knitting, but he was still sad he didn't know where she was. 

He look at the house curiously for a second before shrugging and nodding. "Sure! Why the hell not? We'll have our own fun without her." She had to show up eventually, even if it took an hour, Elisa had to eventually come home and if she didn't he'd just leave. For now getting to know her sister seemed like a fun pass time.

A Strange Lunch Date || Nigel and Anna

[fixthishandinhand]

Anna was home alone, she wasn’t sure where Elisa was, but it wasn’t home. Which Anna didn’t mind at all. Her sister was getting out of the house and that was good enough for her. What the strawberry blonde didn’t really expect was when a knock sounded on the door to their rather large house. “I’VE GOT IT!” She called, not that anyone else made a move for it when Anna was home. Sliding down the banister she landed on her feet and kept running.

However she slowed as she heard a voice calling for her sister. Something else she hadn’t expected. Tossing open the door. “Sorry, don’t be crabby but Elisa’s not home. How do you feel like Jello by the way? Are you all… wiggly?” She giggled. She knew what he meant of course. But that didn’t stop her from making the joke anyway.

[nigel-casimir]

Nigel rocked back and forth, keeping his hands in his pockets while he did. When the door was tossed open he watched the stranger for a moment, automatically knowing that it was her sister Anna. "Crabby. Ha." He grinned at the girl while running a hand through his hand and looking around. "She's not here? Oh... That's, awkward." He made a face while looking down at his feet. 

When he heard her next comment he grinned and wiggled a bit for her before pulling his phone out of his pocket. "I guess I should go track her down then, I'm starving. It was nice meeting you though, I'm assuming you her sister, Anna. I'm Nigel."

A Strange Lunch Date || Nigel and Anna

He'd been on his way to buy some lunch when the idea came to him, lunch date. It was the perfect date in his opinion, lunch could be anything. It could be light, it could be a big meal, you could have dessert, you could decide not to have dessert. Anything you wanted. His footsteps turned in the direction of Elisa's house, rather then the center of town and he smiling slightly to himself. He wasn't exactly sure if she was his girlfriend, but he was leaning more towards yes than no. They did things together, they ate together, he bought her things, they had inside jokes, all the things that boyfriends and girlfriends had or did. 

As he jumped up to her door he knocked on it a few times, shoving his hands in his pockets while he waited for an answer. "Hey Elisa," he called while his knuckles hit the door again, "whale you go to lunch with me? I'm feeling kinda like jello, but I don't think most places serve that, so I'm up for anything."

Bean Bag Toss || Halloween || Nigel and Emily

[iknow-myroots]

Emily had only been at the carnival to see if she could wheel her new cart of fresh fruits and vegetables around as everyone enjoyed themselves. She wasn’t one to really enjoy customs such as this, and preferred the solitude of her home. Still, she knew good business when she saw it, and she figured there had to be some people who preferred healthy foods over candy. 

However a certain booth made her stop in her tracks, and only because she was very curious as to what this guy was doing. She was sure that this was a bean bag toss booth, but with all of the pumpkins surrounding it, she could easily get it confused for throwing pumpkins. That was certainly not okay.

She walks over to the man in charge of the booth and makes sure her cart is tucked behind her, so no one can trample it. “Excuse me sir, but is this a bean bag tossing booth or a pumpkin throwing one?”

[nigel-casimir]

Nigel wasn't the type of person who needed others to entertain him, so when he found there wasn't a lot of people around the fair he amused himself with the bean bags. Juggling, tossing them in the air, trying to balance them on his nose. He'd gotten to three when he heard someone approach his booth. "Shoot." He said while letting him drop and turning to smile at the woman. She didn't seem to be someone that he'd met before, so he decided that an introduction would be best. 

"Hello," He said while holding his hand out to her, "I'm Nigel. Do you want to play?" The man gestured to pumpkin cut out behind him and he grinned, "You can bring home a baby pumpkin if you do." At he question his eyes widened and he looked at the table of pumpkins, not liking the idea of someone throwing them. "Please don't throw my pumpkins." He said while holding up the bean bags, "Toss these instead."

The Perfect Sweater || Flashback || Nigel and Saxon

[ashiningnewera-istiptoeingneare]

"Work is not a place for little boys but when you’re older you can come and work with me." He said, "I know you wouldn’t but you need to learn and you can’t learn anything at my work." Other than not to trust someone when they say they’re ‘good’. Saxon smiled and ordered that for Nigel plus rocky road for himself.

[nigel-casimir]

Nigel sighed and snuggled tighter against his father while frowning. "Okay..." He said sadly while looking down at the ground, which now seemed to be very far away. "Do we have to go back to Mommy now?" He asked while watching as the woman came back with both of their ice creams.

"And you’re here because you’d like to fix that? By borrowing money?" He sighed lightly, placing a hand on his head. "Nigel, you need to learn the value of money. Perhaps you could make something with all that clay and sell it?" He suggested before sighing once more. "How much do you need?"

[nigel-casimir]

"Well. Yeah." Nigel nodded and looked at his father with a shrug. There was really no other way to ask for what he wanted. Sure, he could've added a few more fancy words and a please or something, but this was just as good. "Yeah I'm looking for some money. If you don't mind too much." He shrugged, "No, I don't think that I want to sell my clay. That ruins the fun of it." Nigel shrugged his his father's question ad glanced around. "I don't really know."

Bean Bag Toss || Halloween || Nigel and Open

Nigel had a thing for pumpkins. Nigel had a thing for most things actually, but pumpkins were something that he loved a little more than others. He had a habit of buying large quantities of small pumpkins and carving little faces into them. This year was no exception, and now each room in their house had at least one little pumpkin. Even Victoria's room had a little pumpkin with a grumpy face carved into it. 

At the moment Nigel was playing with the bean bags at his booth. It was a simple game, you just tossed the bean bags though the holes in the giant pumpkin that he'd painted on a piece of wood. If you got two of the bags through holes you walked away with a mini pumpkin of your own. The edges of his table had little carved pumpkins on them and the rest was filled with uncarved ones. While he waited for people to come play the game, he stood carefully juggling the bags and humming to himself.

Darts I Kara and Nigel

[princessoftheprideland]

She rolled her eyes lightly. “I don’t need him to do stuff. “But she took the dart anyways. She aimed, taking Nigel’s words into consideration and hit the target the first time. She smiled brightly and picked up another dart. Bullseye. The last time she concentrated a bit harder, careful in her aim. She threw the dart and it hit the target straight on. She cried out in joy and smiled. “Thank you!” She said to Nigel. “And um… sorry about the whole irritableness earlier.” She muttered. “I was a bit aggravated not that it’s any excuse.” She looked up. “Let me buy you a snack… to repay you for the lesson.”

[nigel-casimir]

"Of course you don't." He grinned at him while watching the darts. When she let out a cry of joy he started to laugh, not being able to help himself. It was kind of adorable. Even if she'd been a bit grumpy before this, he wasn't going to be mean to her. Sometimes it was easy to get annoyed at places like this. "Hmmm, a snack you say? Well. I'm not going to turn down a snack. Do you like pretzels?" 

[mxrmadus-deactivated20150410]

  “Oh gosh are you sure?” She creeps up upon her tip-toes to see if any casualties were there, luckily none. No blood, no bruise, well.. hopefully there would be no bruise; it seemed okay.

    She quickly put down the basketball, pretty much intent on never picking it up ever again for as long as she lived. That thing was dangerous, now she never thought a girl of her stature could be intimidating until now.. 

       ”I don’t have ice, but my hands are quite cold so I could like kind of use them against your head?” 

[nigel-casimir]

Nigel just nodded while he blinked a few times and rubbed his head. "Yeah yeah. Really. I'm positive. Just promise that you're going to leave the ball on the ground from now on and we'll be okay." The words were only half a joke, this girl was somewhat dangerous. If the wrong person walked by while she was trying to throw, if she'd hit anyone else in his family, other than Kaleb, she'd be dead right. "I'm trying to help you, not be mean." 

At her next comment he couldn't help himself from laughing. She was sweet, a little innocent, a little dangerously nice, but that was good every once in a while. "I'm fine really, you don't have good aim and I hate to tell you this, but you don't have that hard of a throw either."

A Not Quite Girlfriend Introduction || Nigel, Elisa and Saxon

[icecoldqueenofisolation-blo-blog]

She was nervous to say the least. She’d never met anyones parents of course she had never been in a real relationship before. She wasn’t even sure if this could be considered a real relationship. They’d been on a few dates and kissed a few times but he’d never called her his girlfriend or even said they were dating. Relationships were weird. The butterflies in her stomach were getting worse and she hoped he’d get here soon. How had Nigel even convinced her? She wasn’t usually swayed but this was important to him that she meet his father so she’d do it. She nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat as she listened to Nigel. Had he said he loved her? She felt the heat rise to her cheeks and she was about to say something when the door opened and in strolled Nigel’s father.

[ashiningnewera-istiptoeingneare]

Saxon had been back from a meeting with another whining brat he had to tolerate because of their ‘talent’. This one wasn’t too bad. He’d seen worse. So he wasn’t in an awful mood but he certainly wasn’t in a good one either. He strolled into his office expecting to see possibly Nigel. He caught him from the corner of his eye. “Hello Nigel.” He said, remembering Nigel’s commentary from before. He looked over and saw a flash of blonde. He looked up and saw a girl sitting next to Nigel looking nervous. Had Nigel kidnapped her? She did look frightened enough. “-and Nigel’s-” He wasn’t sure what to say. “-friend.” He finished. Did Nigel screw up? Did he need Saxon’s help to fix things? Then he saw it…. the way that she looked over at Nigel as if for support and the subtle trace of color in her cheeks. Had she been blushing? What had Nigel said? He’d never taken Nigel for a womanizer frankly he was surprised Nigel talked to girls at all. He sat down behind his desk, looking once more between the two. “Care to explain?”

[nigel-casimir]

"Hello." Nigel replied instantly while looking up at his father and smiling. At his father's awkwardness me pulled a face and looked at Elisa. "Girlfriend... Girl who is friend... girl... friend... eh." He looked to Elisa, now completely flustered because suddenly remembering her name. "Elisa. This is Elisa. We're visiting. Saying hi... You know... Stuff." Nigel tried not to make things too awkward as he reached over and gave Elisa's hand a small squeeze. He hadn't expected her to be quite as nervous as she was and frankly it was making him nervous. He just wanted everything to go smoothly so that Elisa could meet his father and mother and sister, than they could walk around and do whatever they wanted without suspicion. Was that too much to ask for? He just wanted everything to go smoothly.

A Whale of a Time (Storybrooke Ball) I Elisa and Nigel

[icecoldqueenofisolation-blo-blog]

She nodded and took his hand. She glanced up at the sky. “I don’t think they could have picked a prettier night.” She smiled at him. He seemed a bit nervous and she wanted to help. She blushed and looked at the ground. “I- um… thank you.” She grinned. 

[nigel-casimir]

He smiled while looking up at the sky as well, "I have to agree with you there. It's beautiful." His eyes fell down to her and once again his mouth moved faster than his brain. "And so do you.... Wow... I'm sorry. I'll just shut up now. I'm really making everything awkward. Sorry." He made a face and mentally winced at his words. "Oh, um, fair warning, I probably should have mentioned this before, but I'm not the best dancer. Sorry about that too..."
