Darlin' tha's me specialty

❛ I’m pretty, but I ain’t dumb. ❜

“I never said anythin’ of tha sort, darlin’. Whaddya take me for, a Prince?”

“Thank ya.” He wet the thread to make sure it would stay together, slipping it through the eye of the needle and tying it off as she’d demonstrated, humming to himself softly. He continued the stitching she’d started, keeping it as even as he could to what she’d done already.

“Like this, yeah?”

“Yes, just like that. Keep in mind different fabrics will act differently. For things like leather you’ll need a stronger and sturdier needle so it won’t rip or break. Somewhere in my old things you could actually take a few of those sewing supplies, a sewing machine and what not to make it faster.” She suggested. Evie wasn’t staying on the Isle and therefore she didn’t need it anymore, as much as she wasn’t fond of Harry, he took care of lots of other kids on the Isle, giving them a better shot then they were on their own.

[ticktockmenace]

Harry grinned, nodding.

"A' course. Thank ya fer the advice." He snips the thread, handing her needle and the excess thread back.

"I'll make sure ta check tha' out sometime." He could use the extra supplies, Jonas had lost another scarf and was complaining to anyone who would listen (only Harry) about it.

“This is true. I don’t mean ta be rude but… you clearly know my reputation, but I haven’t tha foggiest idea wha’ yers could even be.”

“A’ course. Anybody in tha crew’s allowed ta, if they wanna. If somebody wants ta make food why would we stop ‘em?” Harry grinned, patting the rope and stretching his arms above his head. He then shoves the rope onto the floor and picks up his hook again, humming.

“Want me ta lead tha way?”

Catherine was starting to like the idea of this more and more. Perhaps she could also help out who ever the cook was on the crew, at the very least she’d be helpful around her, with Harry teaching her the small things and her already made skill set.

“Yes if you don’t mind.”

[ticktockmenace]

Harry grins, wide and easy, and begins heading out towards the chip shoppe.

"I don't mind at'all, love." He stretches again, back popping this time. The way he relaxed afterwards says it was a good thing.

[ticktockmenace]

“Back then, I lied when I told you I didn’t love you. You needed to move on from me– I needed to protect you from me.”

“Oh, but love, tha’s not… I can’t jus’ do tha’. I don’t move on, ya know. Jus’ stew in it. If ya need yer space I understand, though. I’ll be here, if ya need me, but I understand.”

[scarredfeathers]

Harry huffed, squeezing her arm lightly.

“I s'pose.” He mumbled, and motioned around.

“D'ya like yer class?”

“I do.. mostly I’m just happy to be here at all”  Jewel murmurs, with a nod, “You… do you like your classes?”

[ticktockmenace]

"...they're okay. Remedial Goodness is a bore, but I do like learnin' me history from somebody other than me da an' Mister Smee." Harry thought a little more, but couldn't say he remembered much about his other classes. He was... not the best at actually showing up. What was the point?

[ticktockmenace]

❛ What makes you think that? ❜

“…hmm?” Harry frowned, and tilted his head. “Yer gonna hafta be more specific, there, Lils.”

[braidedlily]

ticktockmenace:

“It’s okay ta be selfish, sometimes, Lils. It ain’t a crime ta look out fer yerself.” Harry felt the need to point out.

“But if yer set on doin’ this I ain’t gonna stop ya. If ya ever need my help, I’ll be here.”

“This is auradon, where putting others first is practically an unspoken law” Lily shrugged, but she was grateful for the offer of help anyway

[ticktockmenace]

"Lockin' tha villains on an isle a' their own filth and keepin' ev'rythin' nice ta yerselves is pretty selfish, I think. But maybe tha's jus' me." Harry grinned.

[ticktockmenace]

“This is why I don’t let myself fall in love.”

“Me? I’m why? Oh.”

[braidedlily]

ticktockmenace:

“Alright, sweetheart? Can you tell me if you’re allergic to any pain or headache medications?” The nurse had a few bottles of pills in her hands, but Harry tried to think if he’d ever gotten any medicines like those before.

“Uh.” He looked at Lily for help, not sure how to answer.

“Isle kid, so unknown?” Lily said, as she looked over to Harry, an understanding smile on her face, meant as a hey i’m here for you kind of way.

[ticktockmenace]

The nurse nods, puts two bottles down, and grabs a glass from a cabinet to begin filling it with water. Once she has that, she gives the glass to Harry and wordlessly has him hold out his hand.

"Sweetie, I'm going to give you two of these, and you're going to swallow them with the water. They should help with your headache, but if your vision gets blurry then we'll need to keep you here for observation, all right?" Harry popped the pills into his mouth before she was finished talking, drinking the water belatedly when she mentioned it.

[ticktockmenace]

❝ I’m gonna throw you out the window. We don’t even have any windows in this room…I’m gonna carve out a window and throw you through it. ❞

“Sure ya are, love. Can ya even pick me up ta throw me?”

[superpoweredbuds-a-deactivated2]

“You are! You’re pouting.” She smiled wide, and poked his arm. “Personal space is for losers, you’re not a loser. You’re just a weirdo.”

[ticktockmenace]

"Nah. 'M not. 'M jus' not smiling. I'm allowed to be intr'spect've an' shite. It ain't a crime." He grumbled, flushing a little at being called out. "'N' 'm not weird neither. Ev'rybody else is jus' diff'rent."

     Hearing the pirate’s voice made Guinevere jump, and she quickly dried her eyes.Crying was a sign of weakness, she though there was no one around, yet the Hooks never ceased to surprise her. She gave a small snort and took another breath of smoke, hiding a sob she nearly choked out. “Don’t feel up to i tonight, sorry.” The gray-eyed girl replied bluntly.

[ticktockmenace]

"Oi." Harry dropped into a sit next to her, mop draped across his lap.

"It ain't a bad thing to cry. If ya gotta, ya gotta. Cryin' jus' means yer emotions're too much an' yer lettin' 'em out. Cryin' inta somebody's stab wound hurts a great deal, try it sometime if ya get tha chance." He advises, smiling a little.

"Ya wanna talk about why yer cryin', er would'ya rather not?"

[ticktockmenace]

❝ I’m gonna throw you out the window. We don’t even have any windows in this room…I’m gonna carve out a window and throw you through it. ❞

“Sure ya are, love. Can ya even pick me up ta throw me?”

[superpoweredbuds-a-deactivated2]

“Yeah sure, walk and talk.” She elbowed his side gently and walked with him. “Yeah, most of the time I want to throw you through a wall or something.. And that’s when you’re on my good side.” She winked at him, running her fingers through her hair.

[ticktockmenace]

“I jes’ have tha’ effect on people, yeah? They can’t handle how great I am an’ just gotta get rid a’ me as soon as poss'ble.” Harry grinned, ducking away from her elbow with a laugh.

[superpoweredbuds-a-deactivated2]

“You really do have that effect, but not for that reason.” She laughed and shook her head. “You’re just so.. Annoying. Sexy, flirty, and annoying, a weird combination. However you are more annoying than the other two.”

[ticktockmenace]

Harry pouted.

“It ain’t tha’ weird. I look good an’ I know it. Dunno where tha’ annoyin’ thing came from, though.” He wasn’t sulking, what were you talking about?

[superpoweredbuds-a-deactivated2]

“You’re weird, I think the annoying thing might be part of how you have no regard for personal space.. Not that I mind much, but yeah.. Alright.. Are you pouting?” She smirked and poked his cheek.

[ticktockmenace]

"Who needs pers'nal space? What's tha' point a' keepin' ta yerself?" His pout grows.

"Mm. Nah. I'm not, of course."

[ticktockmenace]

“Back then, I lied when I told you I didn’t love you. You needed to move on from me– I needed to protect you from me.”

“Oh, but love, tha’s not… I can’t jus’ do tha’. I don’t move on, ya know. Jus’ stew in it. If ya need yer space I understand, though. I’ll be here, if ya need me, but I understand.”

[scarredfeathers]

ticktockmenace:

“Oi. I wasn’t wrong. I just needed ta make sure.” Harry argues, blushing. “An’ I’m still new around here. I ain’t got all my bearings yet.”

“It’s fine, I was just teasing” Jewel answers with a shake of her head, and a small smile, not minding in the slightest, she wouldn’t mind being lost on school grounds with him

[ticktockmenace]

Harry huffed, squeezing her arm lightly.

"I s'pose." He mumbled, and motioned around.

"D'ya like yer class?"

❛ Oh, is that a challenge? ❜ @bitinsxars

“Obviously, love, are ya deaf?”

[bitinsxars]

Vatari crossed her arms and watched him. “ So whatua gonna give up when I win ?” A small smirk grew on her face.

[ticktockmenace]

“In tha unlikely event tha’ I lose this scrap, sweet, I’ll give a tha coat off me back an’ me hat.” Harry grinned. “If I win, ya gotta do me shift at tha chip shoppe. Cleanin’ tha floor an’ all.”

[bitinsxars]

“ Your jacket is going to look great on me ” Vatari winked before putting her elbows on the table handing out her hand. “ how are we going to settle this , pirate ?”

[ticktockmenace]

"How's a race sound? Whoever makes it ta Curl up 'n Dye first wins?" He offers with a grin, wiggling his fingers.

[descendinghearts]

“’M a fan a’ anythin’ edible.” Harry shrugged. “But we tend ta have a lotta fish an’ a lotta clams.” He tugs more of the rope close, moving a little faster because he was getting bored. “We also have plenty a’ slop an’ I’m sure Cook won’t mind lettin’ ya inta tha Chip Shoppe’s kitchens if ya wanna look at ‘em yerself.”

Fish and clams were pretty easy to work with. She learned because it was one of the few things on the Isle you could get decently fresh. Now it would depend on other things she could get her hands on and if she could work in the Chip shop she’d at least have a decent place to work. She worked faster on the ropes too looking forward to actually cooking something the others might like. She got to cook a lot and eat her own food, but having other people taste it would be new.

[ticktockmenace]

Harry ran his hand along the rope, pulling it so there was only a bit of slack between them.

“Ya looking forward ta seein’ tha kitchen?”

[descendinghearts]

“Yes actually, I’ll be able to use it often?” She asked. A place where she could  do her baking and cooking and wouldn’t be judged or yelled at for it. She helped finishing the last bit of rope.

[ticktockmenace]

"A' course. Anybody in tha crew's allowed ta, if they wanna. If somebody wants ta make food why would we stop 'em?" Harry grinned, patting the rope and stretching his arms above his head. He then shoves the rope onto the floor and picks up his hook again, humming.

"Want me ta lead tha way?"

Harry pulled a section of cloth he’s supposed to be mending back into a shirt, shrugging slightly at her questions. “I only know the one way, and aren’t ya s'posed ta knot it after yer done? I hadn’t ever heard a doin’ it afore.” He knew he didn’t know much, but he’d thought he’d known… some things? At least?

“Sometimes, but when you plan to work faster it’s better to knot the thread before so the knot keeps the stitches in place.” She spoke taking the fabric between her fingers a moment.

“So see how there are larger gaps in the weaving of the fabric compared to some, that means your stitches will likely need to be wider apart, too close and it will tear easily.” She spoke pulling open her bag and grabbing a mini sewing kit she always carried with her for quick fixes.

“Do you want to see first or try first?” She asked

[ticktockmenace]

“’M a ‘monkey see, monkey do’ sorta guy. Show me, if ya don’t mind?” Harry offered, handing her the cloth with a slightly crooked smile. “I think I get what yer sayin’, but a demonstration’ll help me understand how ta fix what I’m doing wrong.”

[soimamisfit-blog]

Evie could understand needing to see it. Before she learned the basics she’d have to draft her patterns, now it was almost so second nature that many of the dresses didn’t need them. She pulled out a thread putting it easily through the eye of the needle and making a small knot at the end of the thread trimming the excess off.

She then folded the right sides together a moment before starting a couple of back stitches being careful about the length keeping them even as possible. She could have gone faster but that would have defeated the point of doing it in the first place.

[ticktockmenace]

Harry watched, interested. It was always fun to watch an experienced person work.

“Oh, I think I got it. May I?” He didn’t take tje fabric back; it was her thread, and he’d let her cut it off before doing it himself.

[soimamisfit-blog]

Evie nodded a moment snipping the thread after tying a knot before handing him back the fabric as well as the needle and thread

“Here you are.”

[ticktockmenace]

"Thank ya." He wet the thread to make sure it would stay together, slipping it through the eye of the needle and tying it off as she'd demonstrated, humming to himself softly. He continued the stitching she'd started, keeping it as even as he could to what she'd done already.

"Like this, yeah?"

[13thsonofatraitor-blog]

As their eyes met, it was as if time stopped and only pain replaced it.

Had Caerwyn had a ever so slightly higher pain tolerance, he would have been able to handle it. But since he didn’t, his body slumped, his consciousness slipping through the cracks. In another act of misfortune, instead of falling in any direction of safety, he fell right off of the dock, into the water…

[ticktockmenace]

Harry clapped a hand over his eye, snarling in pain. Of course, he didn’t have time to dwell on that much, since Princey there fell off the dock and into high tide waters. Harry didn’t know if there were sharks or crocs or even octopi out there, but he jumped in after anyway. Couldn’t let his… soulmate die just after meeting him, now, could he?

[13thsonofatraitor-blog]

Lucky for the pirate, the prince didn’t try to pull him down (even by accident). He wasn’t, however, helping him either. He wasn’t even coming to, yet…

[ticktockmenace]

Harry grit his teeth and dragged the prince back towards the surface, toward the lowest part of the dock so he could drag the prince back up as well. He was muttering to himself through the pain still radiating from his eye. Christ, getting salt in it hurt like hell.
