I've never shot a living creature. But I could.
I think I'd be good at handing a guy his ass, especially if I've got a tough woman teaching me.

Sounds like you could do some damage.
I think you would, too. If you have some free time while we're regrouping, we can train.

[ It's dark, but some rustling is heard. Eventually a light flips on and Killian Jones appears before her on the screen. His hair is gray around the temples and streaks as well through his hair. Some wrinkles here and there, but for the most part he's still himself. Clearly all the drinking for hundreds of years didn't hurt him too much in the long run. ]
It appears as though somethings have changed, Swan.

[ it takes her a few seconds to focus her attention on Killian, too busy at first with the items she's picked up to help sort through the damage to their house. it'll be fine, all it needs is a little cleanup and a few coats of paint -
but once she actually bothers to look at the screen, the change is... well, it's graying hair and some more obvious lines she wasn't expecting for at least a few years. he doesn't look the same, but it's more how sudden the change is that throws her off, not the pirate himself.
because if she's honest, the pirate's aging pretty damn well.]
Wow. You're...
[ help her with an adjective before she finds her own!]

Dashingly defined?
[ He is not going to say old because it's just going to make him nervous and angry. Not angry so much as nervous because suddenly he's quite older and not just in a number. He's now got the definition to show it. ]
If you bloody well say old then I'm sleeping with the dog forever.

Relax, I wasn't going to say old.
[ let's pretend that she wasn't a syllable away from saying just that. she smirks, though, recovering quickly.]
Besides, you've always been that.

I simply look older, Swan, I'm not senile. I know fully well how your sense of humor is.
[ He married you. He's aware of you having no mercy at times. ]
You've always thought so.
[ Killian smiles. ]
Who would have thought I fared this well with the life I once led?

Let's hope you don't keep aging and catch up with all those invisible years.
[ they stopped him at the right point. she's not sure she's ready for 90 year old Captain Hook yet.]

I shudder the thought.
[ Though if they're being honest if those years did catch up he'd likely be in the ground without a doubt. He just doesn't vocalize that. ]
You are a devil little aren't you? But I was very aware of what I was marrying.

And you never seem to go a day without reminding me of who you married.
[ if she's honest, she's gotten used to it. sometimes she even refers to him as her husband unprompted, when he's not around. it's a little strange, yet it... works.
which might as well be a statement on their entire relationship.]
I didn't realize we'd be growing old together so soon.
[ but she is headed home, since she thinks she needs to see this in person for it to be anything even approaching real.]

You make that quite impossible by simply being yourself.
[ It's true. Yet he doesn't say wife as often as he wants to. He's comfortable being her husband. Eventually she might be as well. ]
I was always older, love.
[ From the start. ]
You however are quite spry.

How much older was that again?
[ and now she's officially enjoying this.]
Funny how it happened to you, and I've remained unscathed.

You haven't changed much, either. And the ways you have...
[ are surprisingly kind of attractive when she thinks about it as something to look forward to, instead of something real in the here and now (it's not permanent). when it's time to age, they're supposed to do it together, and it's not supposed to be this drastic.]
Let's just say it works for you.

[ Killian tilts his head for a moment and smiles slowly. He's well aware of what "it works for you" means in Emma Swan's world. That's the best compliment you could likely ask for. ]
You're quite fond of me like this aren't you, Swan? I can see it in your eyes.

I haven't seen you in person yet.
[ but that's not really a no, and Emma knows it.]

What do I get if I'm a bad lass, Killian?
[ things she never thought she'd say to a rapidly aging pirate.]

[ He wasn't expecting her to fire back at him with that. Mostly because she usually rebuffs his "attempts". He doesn't mind. Perhaps he's unprepared, but he doesn't show it. That's certainly how you get defeated by Emma Swan. ]

Still not seeing where that's a punishment.
[ if she's a little thrown off by him accepting this so easily, like hell she's going to show it. that must be one hell of a sex life he's been missing here.]

Leave it on for now.
[ there are other options, sure. but it has its uses. ones she's apparently never shied away from.]

Well, I'd be faster, but someone keeps distracting me.
[ she's doing the best she can while continuing to discuss this with someone who's figured out how to keep her attention. he's only slowing her down, it's his own fault.]

I'm distracting you am I?
[ You gave him too much there, Emma. You gave him the keys to the kingdom by admitting that he was distracting. ]
Love, that's nothing. [ He lopsided grin. ] I think I'll go ahead and get a few steps ahead.
[ Meaning he's going to ditch his shirt. ]
