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 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.]
[ 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.
[ 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. ]
[ 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.]
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.]
[ 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?
[ There's a million ways she could decide to handle this. She could easily not show up. She could stand him up and he anticipates it would come with a work called excuse. Or something close.
When she disappears after trailing off it's easy to think the worst, but he's not deaf (just missing a hand). Killian squints and then settles as he waits until she's back. ]
Only if that's what you require. Picking rose petals from my chest hair doesn't sound delightful.
[ there's a part of her that doesn't want this to be a big deal. he remembers having sex with her before, so it's not a first for both of them, anyway.
and if that puts her at a disadvantage, that's fine. she's gotten used to it.]
Okay.
[ okay as in, there's at least a 75% chance of this happening now.]
[ He can only hope he doesn't make it strange. He will perhaps be a tad bit worried about her in his head. There's quite a number of things that could take this from good to bad quickly. They both know that. ]
[ she's betting he's going to make it strange, but at the same time, they've already faced worse. being close to him is something she's wanted for a while, she's just held off out of... well, the same fears she's always had.
it's just a night, she can let go of them for long enough to show him exactly how much she wants him beside her.]

[ 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.
no subject
[ and now she's officially enjoying this.]
Funny how it happened to you, and I've remained unscathed.
no subject
[ She knows quite well how much older than her he is. ]
Then consider yourself lucky. Though I don't imagine you would change much.

Let's just say it works for you.
no subject
You're quite fond of me like this aren't you, Swan? I can see it in your eyes.
no subject
[ but that's not really a no, and Emma knows it.]
no subject
[ Though it's more streaky in his actual hair. ]
If you're a good lass perhaps I'll let you touch it.
no subject
[ things she never thought she'd say to a rapidly aging pirate.]

Wooden hands are excellent at spankings.

no subject
[ 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.
no subject
[ there are other options, sure. but it has its uses. ones she's apparently never shied away from.]
no subject
[ Killian can't help the smile that seems to keep growing. Though it's certainly gotten a little slier. ]
Promises, promises.
no subject
[ 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.]
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
[ 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.]
no subject
[ He's just got the one hand, Emma. A hook doesn't help do many things. ]
Perhaps I have a great many steps.
no subject
[ they've had months of foreplay, the video hardly feels necessary.]
Afraid I'll change my mind?
no subject
A tad. It's not as if you'd not have reason.
[ He tilts his head. ]
One can only hope you won't.
no subject

Okay.

I shall be here then.
