whoops

[notyetlegend]

Are ye done tweakin' th' icons?

Good.

[Deep breath.]

How can ya ship me wit' someone who's movie isn't even out yet?! It's bad enough th' other me told me to stay away from Jacks an' then ye went against it, but this? An' don't get me started on that right self-absorbed git who thinks he's good enough t' be Emperor.

Ugh, an' mum says I'm impossible.

Comments

[icefern]

Oh I can't be that bad, can I?

[notyetlegend]

All I got was a warnin' to avoid ye. So far th' mun hasn't done anythin' about that but th' opposite.

[icefern]

Well, maybe she knows something that you don't about having some fun.

[Give it a second--]

You do seem a bit uptight-- no offense, of course.

[Hand waving here. No offending the fire-haired princess!!!]

[notyetlegend]

[Snorts at the uptight comment. She's not her mum, Jack, jeez.]

Trust me, I'd rather be out havin' fun than be stuck inside learnin' how to be a princess. Ridin' an' shootin' I'd take over books an' history lessons any day.

[icefern]

And I happen to be the definition of fun, so doesn't that mean we should get along?

[C'mooon Merida! Don't yah wanna be PALS?]

[notyetlegend]

Somehow I don't think this was what me mum meant when she warned me about strange boys.

[Playful eyeroll.]

I guess it couldn't be that so bad.

[icefern]

Hey! I'm not strange, I'm a guardian.

[That's the opposite of strange, okay merida. get with the program qurl.]

The worst that could happen is you'd have a bit of fun away from your -- [Incoming terrible accent imitation alert] -- mum. And it's not like she has to know.

[notyetlegend]

Riiiiiight.

[That's not strange at all. She wrinkles her nose at the attempt.]

Och, th' last time I had a bit of fun away from her I got her turned into a bear, I doubt ye could do worse. [Beat] Well okay, I guess that's th' opposite of fun, but she's lightened up a bit.

[icefern]

Trust me, I don't have any plans of turning anyone into a bear. [Not yet at least.] And maybe she could make due with a little bit of Jack Frost in her life. Isn't DunBroch due for some snow soon?


[Jack. It's August. It's not even close to winter. Deal with it.]

[notyetlegend]

[You never know, Jack, especially around Mer who knows, you could turn into a polar bear. She raises an eyebrow and smirks a bit.]

It's supposed t'get a bit colder in a couple of weeks.

[icefern]

Really?

[ohno.herecomestrouble]

I don't supposed the princess would be looking to have a day off, would she?

[notyetlegend]

[Well shit.]

I think th' princess might like a bit o' a day off.

[icefern]

Not so opposed to Jack Frost now, right?

[8D look at the puppy dog eyes. you cannot resist.]

[notyetlegend]

Well...I suppose 'e's not so bad. Bit on th' cold side though.

[Ba dump chish.]

[icefern]

Oh, the princess can joke? Maybe my puns won't have an icy reception.

[nO.]

[notyetlegend]

Since it looks like we snowballed in this direction, it couldn' hurt.

[Mer, NO.]

[icefern]

Are you sure you can handle this avalanche? Wouldn't want you to get snowed in.

[STOP THE MADNESS.]

[notyetlegend]

Y'say that like DunBroch never experienced a freeze before.

[THERE AIN'T NO GETTING OFFA THIS TRAIN WE'RE ON.]

[icefern]

I'm just not sure the men will be able to weather the storm in those kilts.

[notyetlegend]

Och, m'dad survived getting his leg bitten off, I'm sure he'd be able to handle a bit o' frostbite under his kilt.

[icefern]

[There's a bit of stifled laughter--]

Not something I ever wanted to picture, but thanks. [A playful roll of his eyes before he continues] I'm glad I can be of service, anyway.

[And here's a sort of fake overly gestured bow]

Anything else I can do for you m'lady?

[notyetlegend]

[You're welcome for that mental image, Jack.]

Well, for one, don't call me 'm'lady'. You sound like a stuffy prince, m'lord Jack.

[icefern]

{An impish smile crosses his face-- uh oh. You should be scared now Merida.]

And what are you gonna do if I don't stop saying that?

Try to slam me against a wall and kiss me?


[.............suddenly you should have a better idea of who this really is.]

[notyetlegend]

[THE OTHER MER WARNED HER ABOUT THIS.]

Don't make me.

[icefern]

[COME ON YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS.]

Is that a threat?

[notyetlegend]

[ASHFMLD JACK]

It might be.

[icefern]

[OH LOOK AT HIM JUST WHISK UP EVER SO EASILY UP ON SOME COLD WIND.]

I'd like to see you try, m'lady!

[Can't catch him now~ ♫]

[notyetlegend]

Och, stop baitin' me.

[Psh. She's felt colder.]

[icefern]

[Don't mind as your hair gets messed up by all that wind then! :D]

Och, you're the one kicking up a fuss. I'm not doing anything.

[notyetlegend]

[Pfffffffffff. Do you know how hard it is to keep this mess together?]

Yer accent's terrible. An' yes y'are!

[immaculat]

I do rather enjoy these ships; you and that young man just above do make for a good one, I daresay.

[ Oh no we have a shipper on board!! ]

You simply must tell me of the open ocean once you set sail. [ ...Or not? It's entirely possible that they could be literal ships in her mind. It's simply that difficult to tell. ]

[notyetlegend]

N-no! No, m'lady, don't misunderstand. We're just...friends.

[She waves her hands a little frantically, then offers a curtsey as much as it disagrees with her entire being. She recognizes royalty when she's in front of it.]

No ships will be settin' sail as long as I have control over things, I'm afraid.

[immaculat]

[ The White Queen inclines her head in acknowledgement of the curtesy, continuously smiling in an airy manner. ] Oh...? Just friends?

Well, that is certainly all the more reason to set sail on another adventure together.

[notyetlegend]

[She straightens herself, unable to help raising an eyebrow. Is this lady serious?]

Aye. An adventure would be a fine thing to have with a friend. I doubt Jack would like bein' confined to a ship, though.

[coolestguardian]

I can vouch for the Jack thing.

What can I say? I'm irresistible.

[notyetlegend]

Well it's not my fault she's doin' this, so I guess someone has to take the blame. Might as well be you since you started it.

[Mer, plz.]

[coolestguardian]

Hey, hey, not my fault she can't stay away.

[Jack, we were the ones who tagged them.

Jack will conveniently ignore his mun.]

Besides, who can control their muns anyway?

[notyetlegend]

Ugh, you're impossible I swear t' th' spirits.

[THROWING HER HANDS UP INTO THE AIR.]

It's still yer fault.

[doubleroseknight]

Shipping woes, lass? Aye, in this, as with many things, our desires are oft at odds with those o'the mundanes.

[But Tam Lin can't help but be amused by it regardless.]

[notyetlegend]

Aye, shippin' woes. Y'don't have to tell me twice. I cannae get it through to her that I don't want this.

[That's right. Be amused at her expense.]

[doubleroseknight]

[Fae have something of a propensity for schadenfreude.]

Nay, y'won't, lass. 'Tis the way they work. [He chuckles, leaning on his spear.] Stubborn tae the end, they are, never listening t'reason. Once they have their grips on ye, it's best tae just go along with th'flow.

Y'never know, ye might actually find somethin' agreeable.

[notyetlegend]

[She sighs and rolls her eyes, hand resting on her quiver of arrows at her hip.]

Och, an' I thought me mum was stubborn as a mule. It's like me own person don't matter all o'er again!

[She had enough trouble with suitors the first time around. She's not going through it again.]

[doubleroseknight]

A bonny lass like yerself? Now that is a tragedy. [He teases, a sardonic grin crossing his lips.]

Our fates are rarely our own tae make, m'dear. [Clearly he doesn't know who he's talking to.]

[notyetlegend]

[Clearly not.]

Sometimes ye just gotta take th' chance though. I'm not exactly privy t'lettin' me fate be controlled.

[doubleroseknight]

A nice sentiment tae be sure. Though... What if it's yer fate t'fight what ye think is yer fate? Then ye'd be goin' against fate by doin' nothin'. [He's just teasing her now.]
