@redbraid sent ; ‘ would you like to dance? ’
if it had been anyone else who had uttered those words, anyone, eric would cordially and politely have to decline. he wasn't a dancer. it wasn't that he didn't know how, he'd been trained in the art from a young age. all a part of being raised a royal. on occasion, when he couldn't find a way out of the activity, he'd been told how good a dancer he was but he was never sure if the compliment was sincere or simply flattery, an attempt to gain his affection. even if he was skilled at it, that didn't mean he had to enjoy it. he usually did not.
but this wasn't just anyone. this was jessie. jessie. . . the woman he'd do absolutely anything for. eric would go to the ends of the earth for jessie if she so asked. even so, the offer makes his heart flutter. brings a faint pink tint to his cheeks.
❛ with you, ❜ a soft smile adorns his expression, ❛ i would be delighted to. ❜ his hand extends to take hers.

@vyrulent sent ; ‘ everybody thinks i’m … weird … ’ - ariel
❛ if they think you're weird, what must they think of me? ❜ he laughed, a feeble attempt at making ariel feel better. but truly, they would have to think he was equally as weird, wouldn't they?
❛ if it's any consolation, i don't think you're weird, ❜ bright, earnest eyes meet hers. ❛ you're a lot of things, but weird isn't one of them. ❜ all good things, of course. since first meeting her, eric had never once thought she was weird. interesting, maybe. intriguing definitely. but not weird. he furrows his eyebrows, ❛ did someone say something to you to make you believe such a thing? ❜

@roxalie sent ; ‘ you seem very familiar … have we met? ’
❛ perhaps we have? ❜
there had been something so familiar about the purple flower-covered mountainsides eric had seen from the ship as it had come into port. unlocking memories of wandering aimlessly along winding trails. running through fields of the beautiful flower. the sound of laughter wafting on the soft breeze. a breeze that would rustle his carefree curls. a time bygone.
❛ before setting out on this voyage, my mother had delighted in sharing tales of previous trips our family had taken to afren. i'm afraid i personally don't remember much from those trips, but maybe we had crossed paths during one? ❜

@awynter said — ; "i thought if i just kept my head down and followed the rules, everything would be fine."
"i suppose that depends on your definition of fine— but it does not afford you very much freedom, being bound by those rules and restrictions." a grimace, an almost instinctual repulsion of the word, twists his expression momentarily. "and in doing so, keeping your head down as you say, you're missing out on so much of what the world has to offer. not just what is around you, but what else is out there for you to see and discover. are you not the least bit curious what it has to offer you?"

@roxalie said — ; ‘ would you like to dance? ’
❛ it would be rather improper to deny the princess a dance, don't you agree? ❜ eric playfully remarks, while graciously accepting her invitation, ❛ i would love to. ❜ he hadn't intended on doing much of anything other than observing the festivities. maybe enjoy a piece of the cake that has been tempting him from the corner of the room. but dancing? that activity had not even been considered. how could he turn down such a request from a princess though, especially one as dear to him as rosalie. he offers her his hand so that they can make their way onto the ballroom floor.

@covertegotism said — ; maybe you should take a break. and… get help.
take a break? the laugh those words elicit make it seems like the most ridiculous suggestion he's ever heard. who has time for a break? even more so, who can afford to? ❛ are you talking like help help or psychological help because if you're offering to lend a hand, i'd gladly accept. but the latter— i think i'm good. ❜

@flashbacksech0es said — ; "This place is so beautiful." (from my OC Leanora)
there's always a swell of pride that courses through eric whenever the island receives a compliment. it may not be his kingdom yet, his full responsibility, but he had already begun doing any and everything he could to make sure it remained well revered. after all, he will reign over it one day.
❛ you should see it at night, ❜ he beams, ❛ the entire sky alight with stars and moonlight. it's quite breathtaking. ❜

@2wanlake said — ; “if you found out you only had 24 hours to live, what would you do?” (for eric’s bday!!!)
❛ what would i do? ❜ he repeats and can't stop the laugh that accompanies the words. he doesn't have to give it any thought, he already knows the answer to the question. frankly, he's surprised it's not obvious to odette what his answer would be. unless this is one of those questions to prove how well she knows him. his attention drifts to the sky as fireworks erupt above the ship in celebration. the noise from which momentarily drowning out the sounds of laughter and merriment surrounding them. when the sky falls quiet once again, eric's attention returns to odette. a wide grin on his face, his hands move away from the furry companion at his side to gesture at the scene around him. not just aboard the ship, but beyond the rails as well. ❛ this. ❜ his eyes meet hers, ❛ i would set sail and live out my final hours where i feel most at home. most comforted. ❜ though he would do so without all the fanfare and possibly leave his crew behind— he wouldn't need a crew of mourners making his final trip miserable. but isn't that how anyone would choose to live their final hours if they knew what fate lay ahead? his eyes narrow at her playfully then, feigning seriousness but clearly joking ❛ why, do you know something i don't? will this be the last birthday i celebrate? ❜ a beat. ❛ is that why they brought out the fireworks? ❜

@dinglhoppr said — ; "Please, speak to me."
❛ i have nothing to say to you. ❜ the words leave his lips without his eyes even lifting from the map before him. pen in his hand continues to dip into ink and scribble notes marking out his upcoming journey. ❛ please leave me to my work. i have much to do before we set sail in mere days. ❜

@takenamiss said — ; "Don't go." (from Charlotte La Bouff)
he'd immediately spun on his heels to make a hasty escape but those two spoken words stop him instantly in his tracks. face scrunching up momentarily but relaxing as he turns to face her. ❛ are you sure? i hadn't meant to interrupt you, miss la bouff, and i definitely don't intend to intrude. ❜

@vyrulent sent — ; [ listen ] from Ariel in their modern thing <3
[ listen ] sender listens to receiver explain something they're passionate about
❛ ninety-five percent! isn't that unbelievable? only 5 percent of the ocean has been explored or seen by humans. ❜ there's an excitement in his voice, like a child talking about an amusement park they're trying to convince their parents to take them to. but the ocean was much more than some cheap amusement park. more important and more interesting. ❛ and the parts we have discovered we're destroying at a record pace. ❜ his excitement falters, frustrations coming through in its place. ❛ can you imagine all the sea life we've yet to discover and learn about? by the time we learn about it or discover it, it'll probably be well on its way to extinction. and how many species or creatures have we already lost the chance to discover because of the desecration of the ocean? that's why conservation is a big deal but people just don't get it. those creatures deserve to live and have a place to live. ❜ he falls quiet then, his nose scrunching up a bit embarrassed by the tangent he'd gone of on. ❛ and you probably don't want to hear me get all worked up about all this school related stuff. ❜

@2wanlake said ; you can be charming when you’re not angry or hungry.
❛ sooo very rarely am i charming? ❜ a laugh escaping him. ❛ have you ever known me not to be hungry? ❜ he's joking but an eyebrow perks up questioningly anyhow. ❛ do you remember when we were small we'd sneak into the kitchen while chef louis was preparing dinner and sneak snacks of whatever ingredients he was cooking with, essentially spoiling our appetites and driving poor louis mad in the process. ❜ he lets out another laugh at the memory. ❛ i just could not wait until the meal was ready. and i might have enjoyed watching louis get increasingly upset about the disappearing ingredients. ❜

@2wanlake said ; your head is shoved so far up the future’s ass, you’ve completely abandoned the now.
odette's ( rather frank ) words instantly bring him back to reality. a grimace appearing on his face. had he gotten carried away, droning on about his dreams and aspirations? of course he had, he always does. and she is very often his audience for voicing such dreams and aspirations. he really can't blame her for snapping. a sigh slips from his lips, gaze turning to odette. ❛ the now feels like a prison, like i'm trapped in a life that i do not want but have no way to escape from. but the future— ❜ his eyes light up as he speaks, ❛ there are so many possibilities, so much promise. . . can you really blame me for wanting to abandon the now? ❜

@for4bes sent — ; caroline’s giving eric a small kiss to the forehead
fatigued ocean blue eyes flutter softly shut and the corners of his lips tug gently upward drawing a soft smile. his entire body relaxing under the featherlight touch. a warm blush flooding his cheeks and down to his neck. he was no longer used to being on the receiving end of such tender affection. he'd long forgotten just how soothing the simple gesture could be. ❛ you have no idea how much i needed that. ❜ or maybe she did.

@everdawn said — ; i thought you went to bed an hour ago. - ariel
his eyes lift from the book set before him on the desk. a soft smile forms when he sees ariel peeking around the slightly cracked open door to his study. relieved to see it's her and not someone who would scold him for not getting his rest or spending too much time in his study once more. he gives a single nod of his head. ❛ i had, but i couldn't sleep. i thought maybe a little reading would help. has it already been an hour? ❜ a soft laugh slips from his lips as he waves a hand gesturing for her to come join him. ❛ i may have gotten a little too engrossed in this book. ❜ his eyebrows furrow gently then before a smile returns to his features. ❛ and what are you still doing awake? ❜ he questions lightly, almost teasingly.

@2wanlake said ; so you feel like you didn’t do enough then, now you have to do everything for everyone.
❛ not everyone, ❜ he counters quickly, ❛ you can fend for yourself. ❜ a mischievous grin punctuates his words. ❛ this kingdom— not even just this kingdom, so many kingdoms including your own, have been so welcoming to me, so friendly. i am, after all, an outsider— but they trust me. i owe them something for that kind of acceptance, don't i? i'd rather do everything for everyone that be completely useless. ❜ he pauses then points a warning finger in her direction, jokingly, ❛ i don't want to hear anything from you about me being useless. ❜
