New episode so of course the muse comes back out to play

[loveisnotenough]

You dare to forget about my return to that idiot box you watch, and yet you come crawling back to use me for your entertainment once more? You're lucky you realized what tonight was - I do rather admire the informative magical properties your box possesses.

If you're expecting me to make a grandiose speech about how I'm a changed woman, you can forget it. If I've learned anything tonight, it's that my words are weak on the ears of the people. It's time to act.

Tip: don't make any wishes. Just don't.

[loveisnotenough]

Duly noted, darling. If anything I'm going to enjoy bossing Will around for a bit.

[heartlessknave]

I ain't believing any of it.

[loveisnotenough]

Seeing is believing, isn't it? Stick around, Will.

[A mask of smugness quickly overtakes her.] Oh, that's right - you haven't got a choice! I'm your master now.

[heartlessknave]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. My worst bloody nightmare, that's what this is.

*SCREAMS INCOHERENTLY BECAUSE I JUST FINISHED THE EPISODE*

[loveisnotenough]

Oh, grow up. [More of that posh, practiced accent is slipping away into her original voice] This could be a whole lot worse, you know!

I CAN'T EVEN - I HAVE NO WORDS AND I JUST SFDSDFADAS

[heartlessknave]

[It is true. It could be oh, say, Cora but we are so not going there]

I suppose. I still have me body parts.

Mostly.

ME EITHER I WANT IT TO BE NEXT WEEK ALREADY. I JUST- UHGH I NEED A MEME TO CHANNEL FEELS

[loveisnotenough]

[She gives him a side-glance.]

The only ones you deem necessary, apparently.

ME TOO, MAN! OH THIS SHOW

[heartlessknave]

Me heart's better where it is.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I SAW SPOILER PICS AND SCREAMED

[loveisnotenough]

Where no one can touch it, you mean.

[She exhales slowly, arms crossing in front of her chest as she takes a seat.] I'm beginning to think you have a point.

[heartlessknave]

No one can touch it and I don't get screwed over again. That seems like a fair trade to me.

[loveisnotenough]

It's a tempting idea.

And you don't think you're missing out on anything else because you've given up on taking a risk?

[heartlessknave]

You mean missing out on the risk of having me heart stepped on again and watching someone leave me for some upper class twit? Yeah, I'll pass.

[She purses her lips, nose briefly scrunching in that way she always tended to do when she was trying to hold her tongue. Back in the Enchanted Forest, it was a frequent occurrence when she was trying not to speak ill of (or to) her mother.

She's trying to bite back every possible defensive retort - how he wasn't a twit, she didn't love him, it was just a business arrangement. Not to mention the biggest mistake of her life...

But all she does is huff.] Yes, I suppose that's one example.
