* SIREN // SONG.

they told her she was art. h e a r t b r e a k i n g, breathtaking. like a butterfly trapped in a hazy addiction, shining like shimmer pearls painted from her tears.

Theo could relate; the past events truly had his head in a toxic cloud of equal parts fear and doubt. “Perhaps we’re all a little… off, lately,” he suggested gently, fingers drumming against the handle of his cart. At least he didn’t actually collide with her - Gods, he wasn’t sure if he could forgive himself for injuring someone, no matter how out of sorts he had been feeling. “You’re sure you’re alright? I mean, relatively speaking, of course. Cereal in tact?” 

"are we all?" remarked the brunette before she just tried to shrug it off. if only she saw it on the news instead of passing by the city square during the time they were taking the body down, then it wouldn't be so scarring. snapping out of her thoughts once more, her eyes darted to her cereal box and nodded her head. "yeah--just need to find some milk to pair this cereal with. got any suggestions?"

a brow lifted as he stopped after her, wondering what information she would have that her parents had already not disclosed. of course, there was also much that his own parents downplayed. “for now, your secrets are your own,” he began as they continued walking. “but whatever they are, for reasons you must already know of, my parents would not let go of this betrothal so easily.” they had already contacted many other kingdoms before they had even told him of their plans and when they finally did, he knew how desperate they were. draco had excepted his betrothed to be a prince or princess just as unsightly as he but as far as he knew, althea seemed rather normal if he did not count the incident at school which felt like ages ago. he assumed whatever she wanted to say had to be connected to that.

"for now--" the princess trailed off as they continued on their steps, a small chuckle falling from her lips as he reiterated that his parents wouldn't easily let go of this betrothal. "just how badly do your parents want to get rid of you?" althea joked, though the same could be said for her as her own parents have been wanting to marry her off for awhile now as well. but some rumors that surrounded her made it difficult to find a match. since they were supposed to get to know each other before this was announced to the public, she found herself asking, “how come you’re not seeing anyone? not to stroke your ego, but you’re a prince and you’re not exactly bad in the eyes.”

“but not many pirates are so keen on sharing,” he added. the ocean may be vast but so was a pirates greed and ambition, he wondered which one could outweigh the other. sammy saw them as redeemable qualities although that was unlikely a shared opinion in auradon. “but it’d still be fun. been awhile since there’s been ah good sword fight.” despite his natural clumsiness, he actually had a very good sense when it came to sword fighting.

"but isn't that just the way they live?" althea mused out loud. didn't pirates fought with other pirates or was that all just stories they were told as children? at the mention of sword fighting, she let out a chuckle as she took another sip from her drink. "well, not everyone carry a sword around here but there are some classes that offer sword fighting? i'm not that good with a sword, but i've tried it a couple times before."

Food couldn’t cure everything. But damn if it wasn’t at least a decent start to any healing process. Theo had been in the store for only ten minutes, yet he’d already stacked his cart full with varying fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, you name it. Even a few savory treats had been added to the pile, necessary for satisfying the occasional sweet tooth. He’d been so engrossed in the list he’d printed out that he nearly knocked into a passerby - nearly. “Oh, sorry! Didn’t see you there,” Came the quick reply, a lightly nervous laugh ghosting past his lips, followed by, “Guess I got a little lost in my shopping,”

the gruesome scene in the city square was still etched in her mind and frankly, she just wanted to take her mind off of it. though she didn't have a weak stomach, she couldn't say she has seen anything as barbaric. how can anyone truly be capable of such things? walking aimlessly in the store as she cradled a cereal box in her arm, she nearly ran into someone's cart, which finally made her snap out of her thoughts. blinking back a little, the princess looked up at the male and gave them a tight smile. "not your fault. i wasn't looking where i was headed anyway."

draco watched the scenery as they walked, waiting for the princess to speak first. all this ceremony was years beyond being outdated. they may be royals but he knew that his parents would never consider doing this to his siblings. at least, he had been sure of that until now. it seemed as if he always got to see the ugliest side to them and now he feared how much of that they would dare to show to his siblings. bringing himself out of his thoughts, he glanced over at the princess. “i do,” he said honestly. despite his reputation, draco was a man of duty and honor. he may fuel the rumors of his kingdom out of spite from time to time but otherwise he always did what his parents asked of him. “i will do what is asked of me but if you choose a different path, i will not stand in your way.” that would be up to her own family and kingdom to deal with. for himself, he never expected a happy ending so he was willing to at least hope for an agreeable one. they may never truly love each other but he would still care for the woman that was meant to be his wife and act the role of the perfect husband to the best of his abilities.

draco's answer was far from unexpected, even with the rumors that surrounded him. royals were raised in a manner that they were bound to their duties to their families, something that a lot of people couldn't see. truly, they had it easier than others, but at the same time, all the responsibilities that come along with it can also get tiring. althea's eyes wandered over to the prince as she paused on her tracks, voice softening as she stated, "i do not want to disappoint my parents either, but there are things that you must know if we go through with this--" however, she wasn't exactly planning to disclose that story at the moment as she began to start walking again. it wasn’t exactly known to people that didn’t have close ties to her family and even to those who knew, they were swore to secrecy. althea could just imagine his parents pulling the plug to this betrothal if they learned about that.

I really, really like ‘In Rainbows.’ But I also really like 'OK Computer’ as a sort of flipside to that. 'Reckoner’ is my favorite, just my favorite Radiohead song. That, 'Idioteque,’ and 'Pyramid Song’ are my top three.
