"And what about me?" for DANNY this time, poor man

What About Meme? (Because certainly that’s never been done before right)

He hadn’t even realized that he’d said anything at all. Danny McKie spoke when it was necessary, but the majority of the time? He was very content to be silent when other people were around. Alone, however, he was equally content to talk to himself. Perhaps that’s why he was so startled to hear another voice pipe up unexpectedly.

Still clad in the apron and holding a dripping whisk, Danny stared at Eilidh as if she had three heads, and took far longer than he’d have liked to realize that she was expecting an answer.

“You...” He began, scrambling, “Are a welcome guest. And...” He glanced to the whisk, and ultimately outstretched it toward her, “A welcome taste-tester?”

"And what about me?"

What About Me? Meme

What she wants to say is that Eilidh is unlike anyone she’d met before and then some. She wanted to say that Eilidh is what those cheesy indie films wish their heroine was like. Molly wanted to tell her that she’s only brave enough as she is these days because Eilidh found her at just the right time in her life, and made her realize it was okay to want more. She wanted to tell her that watching her sketch and draw and ink was like watching a composition of rare music.

When it comes out, it sounds a lot like,

“That ass though.”

And somehow it’s less gay than everything else she’d intended.

Lee,

Fuckin’ lost my phone. It’s super gross out today, so I left an extra hat and gloves for you if you wanna grab some coffee or whatever. You might want to...there’s none in the house. Or food, really. I need to go to the grocery.

I think I ordered pizza for us tonight. Maybe. I think maybe it’s that I meant to get a frozen one.

Anyway have a good day

Molls (ps can you look for my phone?)

“No kidding.” Mumbled Molly in return, her chin resting on her arms as she folded them on the bar before her. She couldn’t help but remember the time she and Eilidh had gotten into an argument about fairy tales and romance novels, and she had uncomfortably had her eyes opened to the hypocrisy of it. How it’s simultaneously shoved in people’s faces from their youth, and told to be shameful later in life. She’d learned the harsh truth about lending her heart out to another.

And yet, knowing all of this, Molly couldn’t help but yearn for it. She wanted that connection, even if she was afraid of being known, in her way. Even if it felt as though her heart had been torn from her chest.

She reached to pick up the shining engagement ring, useless without its intended finger, and spun it on the bar top until the low lights glinted blindingly off of it.

“S’pose I should get rid of this, then.” Balancing it on the knuckle of her index finger, she extended it to Eilidh. “Want it?”

‘ Don’t pull that face, it doesn’t suit either your good looks or your complexion. ’ [could be literally any verse lol]

Witcher Meme

“I can’t help pulling a face--this is my face, and it’s the only one I’ve got.” She continued pouting (although, if asked, she would vehemently deny the fact that she was pouting, how dare you). 

“...I just don’t see why we can’t go back to pet the dogs. They’re in that dumb pet shop all day, they deserve at least a little bit of love.”

( CHIN ) grabbing mine’s chin. [I feel like this happens a lot in the pirate verse. Molly is distractable and there are SO MANY possible distractions lol]

In the Meme Vault

She’s confused at first, eyes widened as her captain took hold of her chin and forced her their gazes to meet. What had she done? It only took a few moments for her to realize that she’d been babbling on for the last five minutes about--hell, she didn’t even know anymore.That was the point.

Flushing, she offered a sheepish smile by way of an apology. 

“What did you need from me, again?”

[secondhandmckie]

"What you need it to get off your arse and go somewhere new."

What does Molly need?

“I’m not on my arse, thank you.” Molly mumbled, attempting to busy herself with sorting through donations. This was a song and dance she had come to expect from Eilidh at this point--even if Eilidh did have a point in it. She’d barely been away from the town, let alone the state...let alone the country. But she couldn’t just go.

“I’ll go. Someday. It’s why I have those jars--someday, I’ll go.”

"Everyone here tries to reassure me, and I'm fuckin' sick of it. Pardon my language," she added, quickly and insincerely, as she glanced at the regal woman beside her. A woman who didn't know her and would have no reason to hide her true feelings about the war. "What do /you/ think? Do they have a chance?"

@eilidhink

There’s an arch of the slim brow as Aurora regarded the taller woman, hardly blinking at the use of colorful language. After all, it wasn’t for her to say what was acceptable in Queen Molly’s kingdom. Rather, Aurora was simply taking time to analyze Eilidh in her way, gauging whether or not she would actually appreciate the blunt truth. 

“When King Alan was on the throne, it was even less guaranteed. There is a chance.” Aurora finally replied diplomatically. Her attentions returned to admiring the roses, lovingly attended to in the gardens. Fingertips brushed across the petals as she considered her next words. “Just as there is always a chance of failure. War is a fickle thing, but I feel as though you already knew that.”
