[sheriffing]

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.

[assailed]

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?

[sheriffing]

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.]

[assailed]

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.

[sheriffing]

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.]

[assailed]

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.

[sheriffing]

How much older was that again?

[ and now she's officially enjoying this.]

Funny how it happened to you, and I've remained unscathed.

[assailed]

Now you're just being mean.

[ She knows quite well how much older than her he is. ]

Then consider yourself lucky. Though I don't imagine you would change much.

[sheriffing]

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.

[assailed]

[ 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.

[sheriffing]

I haven't seen you in person yet.

[ but that's not really a no, and Emma knows it.]

[assailed]

Well, you'll be treated to specks of gray in my beard as well as my hair on my head.

[ Though it's more streaky in his actual hair. ]

If you're a good lass perhaps I'll let you touch it.

[sheriffing]

What do I get if I'm a bad lass, Killian?

[ things she never thought she'd say to a rapidly aging pirate.]

[assailed]

[ 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. ]

Wooden hands are excellent at spankings.

[sheriffing]

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.]

[assailed]

You've never shied away from the uh--[ He clears his throat. ]--physical enjoyments.

[ There's a smile after a moment. ]

If you hurry home I'll be certain to remove my hook immediately in pursuit of more enjoyable options.

[sheriffing]

Leave it on for now.

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

[assailed]

Be still my heart.

[ Killian can't help the smile that seems to keep growing. Though it's certainly gotten a little slier. ]

Promises, promises.

[sheriffing]

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.]

[assailed]

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. ]

[sheriffing]

That's only one step ahead, Killian.

[ she can't say she doesn't approve of his methods, but at the same time, she's seen him shirtless plenty of times by now.

and she's resisted all of those times, too.]

[assailed]

Who said that this was the only step?

[ He's just got the one hand, Emma. A hook doesn't help do many things. ]

Perhaps I have a great many steps.

[sheriffing]

Trying not to get off of video, huh?

[ they've had months of foreplay, the video hardly feels necessary.]

Afraid I'll change my mind?

[assailed]

[ Can you blame him for being wary, Emma? ]

A tad. It's not as if you'd not have reason.

[ He tilts his head. ]

One can only hope you won't.

[sheriffing]

[ can she blame him? no, but she still knows what he's up to.]

I have reasons in either direction, I just...

[ she shifts out of frame for a moment, the sounds of her in a conversation heard distantly in the background. Olympia's not in the greatest shape right now, so she takes a moment to help someone with a heavier piece of debris before she pops up again.

she'd swear his hair looks a little darker again (already).]

You're not going to make this weird and light candles or drop rose petals on the bed or anything, right?
