Don't need to rest?

Hi! I'm Matthew, your friendly local music teacher; here to teach you music! ...................................................................... In FTL I was Prince Phillip, on a quest to save my princess from a deep sleep... thankfully I didn't have to do it alone.

Long Time No See || Philip & Belle

[keeperofthelibrary-blog]

Belle raised an eyebrow at the sound of her name on his lips. “Oh, sure.”  she replied calmly, pretending she hadn’t heard it. “Follow me.”  She couldn’t help but smile. Philip’s having a kid? Cool. She slowly lead the way to the section he desired. “Um, congrats by the way. On your child. Are you excited, to be a dad?” she asked, hoping she wasn’t prying too much.

Once they arrived at their destination, she flashed him a grin.”Okay, here you go! Now, do you mean baby books as in books for babies, like Goodnight Moon, or books about babies, like.. parenting type stuff?”

[princephilofderp]

He followed her past the rows of books, his fingers gliding over the spines hoping the right one would just magically fly into his hand. At her question he nearly choked on air, going a little red. "Uhm, well, that might be a bit premature. But thank you. I'm not preg--I mean we're not pregnant." He wanted to add, not yet anyway. The truth was, he was more than ready to be a father. It was all he had dreamed of after he had found Aurora. Even though they weren't in their palace in their own land, his main desire was to settle down and be a family- to live their Happily Ever After. "I'm hoping soon though. Maybe." 

He smiled back at her, before shrugging. "I think...  parenting books might be a good place to start. You know, fail to prepare, prepare to fail and all that." Parenting was different in Storybrooke. It wasn't like back home where a child had a wet nurse and team of servants to care for its every whim, it was going to be down to him and Aurora to make sure this child was properly looked after and happy, and the thought terrified him! What if he did something wrong? How did prams work, and nappies, and baby bottles and how did one build a cot? 

[deactivated-blog]

Oh yes! Get one, and then we can set them up for a play date! I can even tell you how to teach him or her to hunt mice around the apartment. I haven’t had a rodent problem in years.

I do have my moments. 

[princephilofderp]

I'll have to ask my wife and see what she says! I bet she'd like an interesting pet though-- maybe I should buy one for her as a surprise! Where does on even get a snake from in Storybrooke anyway?

Long Time No See || Philip & Belle

"Ahh." Belle sighed and stretched from her spot behind the counter in the library. She’d been slipping tomes into their proper places all morning, and she was getting a little sleepy. So, she’d taken a break…which had turned into a nap. She was just about to head back to her drudgery when the door opened and she was greeted by a pleasant ding. She looked up to see a surprisingly familiar face. "Hey!" she called. "Phili-" Oh. He probably doesn’t remember me. she realized. “I mean, hi. Can I help you with anything?”

[princephilofderp]

Phillip had run all his errands for his day off which had left him listless and bored. He'd listened to music, bought groceries, even done some cleaning and yet it was still only mid-afternoon. He decided to wander around town and see if there was anything that he could take his mind of his boredom when he had noticed, perhaps for the first time since arriving here, the library. He knew better now than to question the goings on within Storybrooke, especially now he knew the truth, but he decided that a library was perhaps one of the least sinister things to walk into on a perfectly ordinary Sunday afternoon. 

As the little ding of the door notified the owner that he had entered the premises he looked up as he recognized her accent. Her voice. Her face too. It took him a moment or two to recall the exact whereabouts of where they had first met, his Storybrooke self and his real self conflicting. Was it just him or did she recognize him too? He faltered for a moment before deciding to go down the safe route and pretend he hadn't noticed anything. 

"Uhm, hi, yes, hello." He paused, trying to think about why exactly he was in here. "I'm not sure really. I was just.. well, I'm wondering.. do you have any..." He looked about, wondering how to phrase the question without making gossip about himself and Aurora. But this was Belle! She broke his curse when he was transformed into that terrible monster. He trusted her, whether she remembered her past self or not. "I was wondering if you had any baby books, Belle?" he continued on, with more confidence, not even noticing he had used her name because he had just been thinking about it. 

[deactivated-blog]

Of course! They just have to remember they are animals, but they have to be delicate with them. But yeah, they’re safe. Viper can even play fetch if he’s in the mood. 

A Quest -lets out a laugh- Okay, Camelot. I would rather imagine it as an Unexpected Journey to good grades. -winks- Or at least a survivable semester. 

[princephilofderp]

[looks seriously impressed] Wow! You're kind of really making me want a pet snake now....

"Survivable Semester"; I like that, you know. That's really very wonderfully put.

Ooooooh, good question! Does True Love's Kiss count? 

[princephilofderp]

Send me a symbol and I'll answer;

★: If I seen a shooting star, what I would wish for over anything else.

☠: My biggest fear.

✈: Where in the world I'd most like to go on holiday.

♠: What I would say to you if I were to die tomorrow.

❤: Most romantic thing I've ever done.

♔: What I would do if I ruled the world for a day.

☾: Am I/Have I ever been scared of the dark/monsters.

♧: An item I keep that I think brings me luck.

❥: What I honestly think about you.

[deactivated-blog]

  I’d love to. Just as long as they know they’re not really toys. Last time I went to the elementary school with them, half of the kids cried and the other tried to use him as a jump rope. And then they were like “Why is your animal biting my precious child?!”, as if he hadn’t just committed animal cruelty.

Me neither. I’m happy I’m all done with that, but most of them are desperate. I felt so bad, I even tried to pass by the college and talk to the professors, but most of them were more bitter than Gold.

[princephilofderp]

....Yeah, I'll probably have a word beforehand to stop that happening. I think I might get fired if the kids get so out of hand they get bitten for their trouble. [pauses] it is safe, isn't it? I mean, to let the kids pet them? 

I guess it's tough being a teacher for older students! But yeah, it's tough but I'm sure they'll get through it. They just need to think of it as a... a quest! A quest for success!

OUAT : Parallels - Sacrifices ↳ 2x01 & 3x15

[deactivated-blog]

  They do! I remember when Viper could fit around my wrist; now he won’t stop trying to be a belt around my waist! 

I can imagine. There’s a couple of kids who’ve come by asking for charms to help with their midterms.

[princephilofderp]

Gosh, that's amazing! I do love animals, you'll have to bring them in for show-and-tell one of these days because I bet the kids would love them too. 

Oh gosh the stress is mounting isn't it?! I don't envy them one bit, to be honest. But I think I feel almost as stressed as them- I do want them to do well, after all! 

[princephilofderp]

Viper’s nearly five, but Silk is an Iguana and he’s three years old, the little twerp.

How’s the lessons coming along?

[is about to squee loudly but remembers he's a prince so stops himself just in time] Iguana, I knew that! They grow up so fast...

Oh they're going fine! I think the kids are looking forward to spring break though. 

[deactivated-blog]

  YES I DID! 

They were asleep all winter!

[princephilofderp]

[smiles at her] How old are your snakes now? 

I bet you missed them so much! 

[deactivated-blog]

My babies are awake!

[princephilofderp]

DID YOU SAY BABIES? :D

Sunday Mornings| Phillip & Aurora

[hadmyfillofrest-blog]

Aurora had grown used to waking first since she and Phillip had gotten married. Since being awoken from her curse, she’d never particularly slept much, and the fact her sleeping problems had carried over into her Storybrooke life meant that they still seemed to plague her every now and then. She slept far better with Phillip’s arms around her, but she still more often than not was awake long before he was, greeting him with breakfast or a kiss on those mornings when she didn’t want to move from his side, hardly daring to believe that her happy ending was finally happening.

This morning, however, she was slow to wake up, pleasant dreams of home keeping her asleep longer than normal. Almost determined to fight against the early morning sun she could feel on her face for a few more moments of sleep, she was only half aware of Phillip cuddling closer to her, before a few moments later, she finally gave up trying to fight her way back into slumber.

Turning her head, she opened her eyes, blinking a few times to allow her eyes to adjust before realizing that for once, Phillip was the one watching her sleep with a small smile on his face. She smiled softly into the gentle kiss he gave her, shifting a little so she could see him properly.

"G’mornin’ to you too."

[princephilofderp]

He smiled as he took her in her appearance; she was a beautiful now as she would be later when she was up and dressed. Phillip raised a hand to smooth back some hair that had fallen across her forehead. 

"Hello." He grinned at her, pressing his nose against hers in an eskimo kiss before leaning in to kiss her again properly. As much as Phillip loved being active- horse riding, sword practice- there was nothing like a lazy morning in bed with your legally wedded wife, who also happened to be the love of his life. In fact, he could happily lay here all day, night, week, month, even year if it meant he could be next to Aurora. Especially if it meant he could be in bed lazily kissing Aurora all the time, which was his favorite activity. 

"Do you have any plans for today?" He asked, thinking of getting the dvd player and that they could have a duvet day eating ice cream and pizza watching rom-coms that Phillip absolutely enjoyed.

I'm in the mood for an adventure

[down-n-dirty-security-deactivat]

  I am a travel agent so I sell adventures. The only problem is, no one seems to want to travel.

[princephilofderp]

That does sound tough. No one wanting to get out of our little town? 

I am looking for an adventure closer to home though. Any ideas? 

[bennysgonemad-deactivated202104]

Someone thought it would be clever to deface my shoppe.

[bennysgonemad-deactivated202104]

  Not really, but I’m never one to turn down company. How’s everything in your life, Matthew?

[princephilofderp]

Then my company you shall have! Oh you know, same old same old. [smiles and tries to place Benny from the enchanted forest, but no memory springs to mind] I have my lesson plans for the week all sorted for once though! How about you? Apart from your shoppe face, I mean. 

[princephilofderp]

But it doesn't seem like there's any to be had.
