“I admit I wasn’t quite sure what to get you” rarely did the harlot’s voice betray lack of CONFIDENCE, back so seldom arched as anything but that of a QUEEN. but this was no mere GIFT. this was a mark of the SINCERITY of her affections, the FONDNESS she had for this emerald-eyed cull. & so she handed him a package of INCONSPICUOUS nature, yet concealing a compass of FINE SILVER, his name engraved in ELEGANT script. (it only took a BIT of persuading) “so you may always find your way back to me”
James’s voice caught in his throat at the sight of the silver trinket SPARKLING up at him. A gift fit for a KING; it must have set her back A MONTH’S WAGES to purchase it for him! Strong fingers brushed the charming lettering of his name before EMERALD EYES landed on the gift-giver, free hand beckoning her closer, LOVE in his gaze.
‘ ‘ It’s as BEAUTIFUL as the woman who gives it to me. ’ ’
Lips murmured the words into her ear as James allowed Esmeralda to settle on his lap, wrapping his arms around her to pull her INNATE GOODNESS closer to him. The gifts he’d given her before seemed MATERIAL & TRIVIAL in the light of the thoughtfulness of hers, he only hoped she wouldn’t think the same of him.
He made a great show of tucking the compass into his pocket closest to his heart, fingers brushing the simple posey ring he’d concealed there earlier with NERVOUS ANTICIPATION for the question that would PRECEDE its presentation. He kissed the back of her hand as he rose, pulling her to the doorway of her chamber as he did so. Fingers of his free hand grasped his basket’s handle as they exited the House, a handsome picnic packed for the day’s excursion.
‘ ‘ Come now, we have the whole of Christmas ahead of us and I intend to make you a present of the entire day. ’ ’

The stage was laid out before him, a trio of SCARLET LIGHTS transforming the show floor into a proper THREE-RING CIRCUS, ready for the arrival of the RINGMASTER. SEQUINS & SATIN filled his frame of vision as he stepped into the welcoming THRONG of performers, clad in RUBY RED. His words RANG through the crowd, ENRAPTURING the show girls and boosting his own confidence. GLITTER & LIGHTS threatened to blind onlookers-- A TRUE SHOWSTOPPER.
Derek opened his eyes, a SMUG SMILE settling onto his lips. Yes, Razzle Dazzle would be a highlight of this production if the DOUBLE CAST director and actor had any say in it. A SWAYING OF HIPS from his peripheral caught his eye, smile BROADENING when he focused on the source of the movement.
‘ ‘ MS. HART, in the flesh. ’ ’
Miss De Sevilla was offered a WOLFISH SMILE, used to DISTRACT while her director and co-star slipped his arm around her waist, leading her to CENTER STAGE.
‘ ‘ You’ve been practicing your choreo. ’ ’
A STATEMENT, not a question. Derek Wills didn’t suffer SLACKERS, and he knew well enough that Esmeralda was not one to SHIRK HER WORK.
He pulled a CHAIR over, positioning it right behind Esme and sitting in it himself, patting his leg as an OPEN INVITATION to his lap.
‘ ‘ Let’s see you run through We Both Reached for the Gun while we’ve got the time. ’ ’

❛❛ …Esmeralda, señor. ❜❜
The pretty young starlet was the PICTURE of demure obedience as she gave a GRACEFUL CURTSY, no different from the SCORES of other actresses ( harlots ) that peopled the FINE theatre. This was just another PART TO PLAY, pleasing the AFFLUENT patrons that supported their fine art so OPEN-HANDEDLY. ( she wasn’t fooled. the productions were no more than a finely-wrought MASK for the girls’ real means of employment, though it’d be an insult to their DELICATE GENTILITY to handle the coin that bought them THEMSELVES. ) So, summoning all the charm her dear Ophelia of this evening had LACKED, Esmeralda parted a smile ‘pon a pair of theatrical-rouge lips, stepping only slightly nearer this GENEROUS BENEFACTOR OF THE ARTS, skirts whispering like hushed murmurs of the STAGE.
❛❛ what SERVICE can I do you, mm ? ❜❜
Easy waltz was INTERRUPTED, though, radiant smile CRESTFALLEN as she caught but a GLIMPSE of the brown-haired boy stood in his shadow. James? What are you doing here? ( he didn’t need to watch her ply her WICKED TRADE, the one man who seemed to hold her in a FAVORABLE ESTEEM. To him, I am an ACTRESS. surely he could wait upstairs ——— after all, it wasn’t as though it was going to TAKE LONG, with a man of such decomposition. ) But it would hardly be PROFESSIONAL to divert her attentions from the intended cull, so other than a few FLEETING GLANCES cast his way, she could hardly have given the impression that she even knew Norrington was THERE. ( at the very least, that was how she IMAGINED it. ) More likely, every LASH trembled with longing for the man she was leaving behind, as she took this officer ( something grand. an ADMIRAL, perhaps? ) by the stiff woolen arm. I’ll be back soon. Soon, I promise. SOON.
‘ ‘ Marvelous-- quite MARVELOUS. ’ ’
DEEP VOICE rumbled in his wool-clad chest, seemingly PLEASED with his hussy of choice. The Admiral turned over his shoulder to catch the eye of the BOY behind him, appraising his son with a more CRITICAL EYE than he had used to choose his NIGHTTIME COMPANION.
‘ ‘ Is she not the most BEAUTEOUS CREATURE, James? ’ ’
The young Lieutenant’s face was a carefully maintained mask, TAUT & RIGID. His father had SUSPICIONS of him being UNNATURALLY-MINDED, else he would not ask such questions. ( Else we would not be here at all. ) Lawrence meant to TEMPT him into MANHOOD, and yet unknowingly had chosen the only woman James could have seen himself lying with for his own self. ( While Mother is to wait at home, ever the OBEDIENT PUPPET. )
‘ ‘ Quite beauteous, Father. ’ ’
James’s words were addressed to Lawrence, but emerald eyes never strayed from the actress’s upturned face, trying to convey his APOLOGY silently.
Lawrence’s stretched patience was wearing thinner still at his son’s SLOWNESS, eager to get to the TASK AT HAND.
‘ ‘ Come now, don’t DAWDLE, make your CHOICE, boy. ’ ’
A DELICATELY-MADE blonde made her way to the trio, having spotted an UNADORNED male arm. ( and attached to such a pretty boy, too! ) Jacky looped her arm through the young Lieutenant’s elbow with a FLIRTATIOUS & FOXY GRIN, realising TOO LATE that it was Esmeralda’s young scholarly fellow, ( surely he isn’t interested... )
She opened her mouth to make her EXCUSES and slip away to a more willing partner, but James’s hand had already CLOSED over hers, eager to get away from the sight of his father CLUTCHING Esmeralda to him.
anytime you reblog something loa related that just says Lawrence my brain immediately goes to Lawrence Norrington and it takes it a full 5 seconds to reset
Honestly if you just searched “Lawrence” in my blog it’d be a pretty wild mixture of “Look at my new historical fave and his gorgeous 1960s faceclaim!” and “ANYWAY Lawrence Norrington was the ABSOLUTE WORST™, the Scum of the Earth”
(No tags bc mobile, but they would say #anyway lawrence norrington can eat my shoe, #f*ck that guy and the ship he rode in on)
