[..... wat. She'll just wander up beside you on your staff.]

Someone creates you? [It never really occurred to her.]

[snowymischief]

Sorta? I mean, all of the Guardians were people before. After we all died, Manny brought us back as the Guardians. [You know. Like you do.]

[myownhand]

[SHHHHHHHHHHHHH]

...Isn't it sad, knowin' that y'died?

[snowymischief]

[Way to ask the hard questions.] Of course it is. But... [That's one of the most important "buts" of his life.] I'd rather have it be me than my little sister. Besides, I'm needed now, too. By kids all around the world.

[myownhand]

[She thinks on that for a while, knowing that if if was she and her brothers... well, she would have done the same thing. She rounds to the front of Jack, doing her best to look him in the eyes.]

What was she like? [A beat.] Your sister.

[snowymischief]

[He hesitates on answering, instead taking a deep breath. Gotta prepare himself for this. He hadn't talked about, or even remembered her, for the longest time.] She was... really out-going. She loved to be outside, running around, playing with friends. [There's a soft chuckle.] She really loved my tricks, too. Every minute she could, she wanted to spend with me. That's why she was... [Ho boy.] why she was so excited about going ice skating.

[myownhand]

[.... Another long quiet moment]

You loved her a lot. [It's not a question. It wasn't hard to tell.] I'm sure she's still out there, watchin' you and believin' in you.

[snowymischief]

[He gives a small smile before pulling his hood to cover his face a little. Sorry, he just needs a moment.] ... thanks, Merida. She... probably believed in me the most. [Even on the lake, while she was scared, she held onto her belief in him.]

[myownhand]

[Considering he loved her that much.]

I know she did.

[You're still up on that staff.... She'll just tug on your arm a bit. Come down here. There won't be any biting she swears.]

[snowymischief]

[He glances at her arm, then gently hops off his staff.] That's actually why the Man in the Moon chose me. Because I saved my sister. I was her guardian.

[myownhand]

[You're getting a great big hug--that's why she wanted you down here]

Because you were and are an amazin' person, Jack.

[Just a little less actually alive than before.]

[snowymischief]

[The hug makes him stumble a little, but it's not long before he's hugging her back.] Thank you, Merida. That means a lot.

[Shhhhh don't ruin the dere dere we worked so hard to get.]

[myownhand]

[She'll just stay there for a moment longer, arms locked around him when she looks up Is that a blush?? and then smiles a bit, pulling just the slightest amount away]

Milord Frost, may th'Lady DunBroch have permission t'kiss you now?

[BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO KISS YOU ON THE CHEEK.]

[snowymischief]

[Well, Jack's definitely blushing a little now. WELP, SUCK IT UP, BE A MAN.] ... just one kiss.

[Please don't be on the lips--]

[myownhand]

[dsahsioa he's blushing it's kind of adorable. There's a soft giggle and then she'll just press a hand to his cheek and draw him down, and plants a soft kiss to his cheek. Before pulling away]

Just one.

[snowymischief]

[SHHHHH he's not adorable. He flushes a bit more after the kiss, and smiles back at her.] See? It's a lot better when you give me a warning.

[myownhand]

I don't know. I kind of like when y'stutter and trip over your words.

[And she says that completely sincere.]

[snowymischief]

Yeah, well I don't. [So tough shit. He turns back to the moon, and points to Merida with his staff.] See this? Make sure you give every single one of us a warning if you have any plans of making her a spirit. Or it will not end well.

[myownhand]

[She'll just nudge you hard and then tug on the front of your jacket again, before smoothing it over with a swipe of her hand.]

I don't have any plans on becomin' a spirit any time soon. Be sure of that.

[snowymischief]

Manny's plans always seem to be a bit different from everyone else's. [Jack didn't really plan on becoming Jack Frost, after all. He glances to Merida, then points up to the meteor shower.] Still got some wishes?

[myownhand]

Manny can have plans, but I'm not going t'be near any sort of frozen over lake any time soon.

[Eyes go back to the sky--]

Mmmmm-- [a pause as she turns her mind over--] No, I think I made all of them. [Her hand takes his sleeve now, tugging at it.] Though it sounds like you have at least one t'make.

[The whole not becoming a spirit deal.]

[snowymischief]

[Fuck you, Merida. THAT HURTS A LITTLE.] Mhm, good.

[He pauses, then closes his eyes and silently wishes. I wish I could be friends with Merida forever.

That's all he's got now.] Yeah, and it's been wished.

[myownhand]

[She'll just grin and lean forward to give Jack something like an eskimo kiss on his cheek. No lips just nose to face. If he was going to be jumpy about normal affectionate gestures, she'd find others to give him.]

See? I knew y'had a wish. [Then her voice gets a bit softer] I hope it comes true.

[snowymischief]

[WELL, HE'S... getting used to her signs of affection? As proof, he gives her a hug after the little kiss. Partly to hide his lightly flushed face.] I hope so, too. And I hope your million wishes come true, too.

1/2

[myownhand]

[There's a laugh from her. It really wasn't a million wishes. Just a couple, maybe ten at the most. And mostly silly things. Because despite it all, she was a lot like Jack in the respect that at this moment-- well, she was happy with how her life was.

She just needed a new bow.]

I didn't make that many.
