Hey, hey. I'll have you know I had to practice myself to get good at all of this, too. I was... technically reborn with these gifts, but that doesn't mean I was good with them.

[myownhand]

Really? Tell me about it.

[ಠuಠ]

[snowymischief]

[Fine. He'll let you embarrass him.] First time I went flying? I fell through a tree.

[PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA]

[myownhand]

R--[WHEEZE] -- Really!?

[snowymischief]

[Even Jack has to smile at this point.] Yeah! You think I knew I could control the wind? It happened on complete accident! I floated for like five seconds, and then I fell.

[myownhand]

[Snnnnnnnrt]

If it makes y'feel any better, I can't count th'times I've almost shot someones' eye out.

[THERE WERE A LOT OF ANGRY SCOTS AROUND THE CASTLE WHILE MER WAS GROWING UP]

[snowymischief]

[Jack tries to hide his laughs behind his hand, but kinda... fails.] Man, I wish I could've seen that. Your mom must've been so mad.

[myownhand]

I got grounded a lot, yes. [Ahahaaaaaa] But my dad always snuck my bow back to me.

[Always spoiled her.]

[snowymischief]

Honestly, I think that's hilarious. [... whoa, your dad?] He kinda scares me, but he sounds awesome.

[myownhand]

Dad's not scary at all. Not unless you're a bear.

[COME ON. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?]

You'd probably like him.

[If he could see you Or ever admit to seeing you]

[snowymischief]

I probably would, if I got to know him. But the chances of that are unlikely since, well... he probably won't see me.

1/2

[myownhand]

[A quiet pause to consider that and then she tugs him forward by the hood.]

I'll make him see you.


[And she honestly means that.]

[myownhand]

Y'may just have t'throw a snowball or two.

[snowymischief]

[He can only stare at Merida in silence for a while before smiling softly at her. This is one of the reasons she's one of his best friends.] Thanks, Merida. That means a lot.

2/2 OOPS

[snowymischief]

[He looks down and glances around for a second or two before leaning over to give her a quick peck on the cheek. That's a thank you for that. There's a slight cough after that, and he tries to, you know, maintain composure.] Snowballs? I can do that. Maybe make it snow in the castle.

1/9 tentatively. i'll tell you.

[myownhand]

[OKAY PEEKING UP FROM WHERE SHE'S PLANTED RIGHT UP AT YOU BRO. STILL BRIGHT RED]

Give us a bit of warnin' next time.

[BECAUSE HDOISADHiosahdioA LAST THING SHE EXPECTED.]

B)

[snowymischief]

[He just quietly laughs for a bit, patting her head on his shoulder.] Okay, I'm sorry. Just... really grateful.

[myownhand]

[She'll just nuzzle in a bit closer--] It's fine, honestly.

[She's trying to show that through her actions right now, but it's not communicating like she wants it to(See how she's not shoving you away, Jack? Or screaming or yelling or fighting?). So she takes a deep breath and pulls him a bit closer so he can hear her murmur--]

I-- liked it. [dioahio more red, discussing feels. How do?] I like th'fact that y'feel comfortable with me.

[Because she was a bit worried before. that she'd gone and screwed things up again.]
