@heiresea liked for a small starter !

❝ Uma, I know we're not exactly on the best of terms, but...it would mean a lot to me if you were a part of my wedding. So...would you do me the honor of being one of my bridesmaids ? ❞ Mal said, offering a small, warm smile.

every part of it is a gift, really. the blanket, the hair bows, the plush frog, even the picnic basket it all sits in. wrapping gifts certainly isn't in her skillset - this was less wasteful, anyways. " figured this is the kind of stuff that suits you, " uma shrugs, extending the gift towards the birthday girl as a half-smirk forms on her lips. " was i right, or was i right? "

allie birthday day asks!!!!!!, always accepting.  ˎˊ˗

                allie  squeals  when  she  sees  uma  with  the  basket,  and  runs  toward  her  with  an  unstoppable  enthusiasm.  she  had  been  undeniably  hoping  for  a  picnic,  any  time  spent  with  uma  feels  like  a  kind  of  treasure,  but  she’s  just  as  surprised  at  what  waits  for  her  instead,  her  hands  curling  back  from  where  she  had  been  holding  them,  about  to  hug  her.    “  oh!  for  me?  thank  you  so  much!  ”    allie  says,  her  eyes  large  with  it,  but  the  pure  surprise  morphs  into  the  bright  sunshine  of  joy  once  she  looks  more,  sees  more.  the  fairy  girl  reaches  for  the  little  frog  first,  giggling  as  she  squeezes  it  to  her  chest.  then,  she  sees  the  bows,  and  takes  those  out  with  the  arm  that  isn’t  keeping  her  new  friend  so  close  to  her.    “  oh,  oh!  can  we  match?  pretty  please?  you’d  look,  like,  so  cute  with  these!  ”

❛ i like being close to you. you’re warm. ❜

their surgeon said once that his body retained heat better than most and it meant that the chilly southern winds and the wetness of the isle didn't affect him the way that it did many others. harry hadn't given it much thought since, counting it among the few blessings he could thank his genetics for but he was reminded of the fact when uma wrapped her arms around his waist and tucked herself against his back like a barnacle.

harry peeked beneath one arm, catching a glimpse of her face where she had pressed her cheek up against his back like she could sink right into him. harry grinned lowering his arms so that he could cover her hands with his own, bringing under his shirt where she could press her palms flat against his stomach where the heat was warmest.

❝ your hands are freezing! ❞ harry hissed but made no motion to change their positions. he tipped his head back and closed his eyes. focusing on the feeling of her pressed against his back as he hummed, ❝ we're not going to get anything done like this, you know? why don't you just climb on my back? ❞

' perhaps it's my art skills that's scary , ' ben says dryly , unaffected by uma's judgement. he's never really been the best at any sort of art -- instruments , singing , dancing that wasn't formal , drawing ... the list went on and on. he doesn't feel terribly about it , but he usually avoids doing anything creative for this reason.

@yoakkemae sent: ​❝ how does my pumpkin look? ❞ // it looks like shit. literally looks like a five year old carved a smiley face into a pumpkin. ruin ben's hopes and dreams. (he's well aware it looks like shit.)

( autumnal starters. / accepting! )

eviscerated pumpkin guts spill over her fingers, & the sensation is incredibly unpleasant, but she can't seem to get her hand free. it's as annoying as it is distracting. when ben calls her attention away, she's almost grateful - until her gaze falls upon the carvings he's unfortunately forced upon the gourd in his attempts to form a face from nothing. 

❝ i thought these were supposed to be scary. not … ❞ uma pauses, nose scrunching up as she searches for the right word in the hollows of the pumpkin's crooked expression. maybe they should just get some hammers & put the poor thing out of its misery. ❝ … whatever THAT'S supposed to be. ❞

‘ does the tie look as good in-person as it does over text ? ’ ben jokingly asks as he leans in his chair to stretch his back. he gives uma an amused look as he says, ‘ the entire day today, someone asked me if i was under a spell. again. is it really that strange ? ’

sleight  of  hand  tricks  are  simple,  when  used  to  subtly  take  something  for  oneself.  they  are  ...  less  simple  when  used  for  alternative  purposes.  but  uma  is  nothing  if  not  determined.  her  first  gift  cannot  be  slipped  onto  his  wrist  without  notice,  but  she  easily  presses  it  into  his  palm  as  she  passes  by,  no  break  to  the  haste  of  her  steps.  by  the  time  he  can  inspect  the  turquoise  &  scarlet  braided  bracelet,  she's  slipped  away,  knowing  he’s  likely  to  follow.  sidestepping  other  crew  members,  passing  open  rooms,  down  a  flight  of  stairs  into  the  depths  of  the  ship.  until,  that  is,  she  vanishes  down  a  hall.  the  game  of  chase  is  exciting,  but  she  has  a  purpose  to  this  &  he  has  a  treasure  to  find,  waiting  in  a  room  at  the  end  of  the  corridor.  laying  in  the  center  of  an  old,  worn  desk  is  a  wooden  box,  harry’s  name  engraved  neatly  on  the  lid.  inside  lay  a  pocket  watch,  carved  from  cherry  wood  &  hanging  from  a  long,  golden  chain.  its  craftsmanship  is  well  done,  but  lacking  in  perfection  -  some  sides  rougher  than  others,  the  carvings  surrounding  the  watch’s  face  a  complex  wreath  of  waves.  upon  opening  the  cover,  a  small,  folded  piece  of  paper  falls  out,  far  plainer  than  any  other  part  of  the  present.  “  happy  birthday,  hook.  –  uma.  ”

pickpocketing  was  an  essential  skill  on  the  isle,  a  trick  of  the  trade  for  any  self-respecting  isle  born  degenerate  that  they  had  all  been  sure  to  perfect  or  risk  starvation.  but  to  switch  out  with  something,  or  to  leave  something  behind  in  what  had  otherwise  been  empty,  not  that  took  a  masters  touch.

          the  first  gift  is  placed  within  the  palm  of  his  hand  as  she  passes  and  harry  doesn't  question  it,  doesn't  stop  to  hound  her  with  questions.  for  the  moment,  it  could  be  anything.  a  secret,  a  clue,  a  mark.  it's  only  when  harry  is  sure  he  has  no  prying  eyes  on  him  that  he  risks  inspecting  just  what  it  is  that  his  captain  has  slipped  into  his  hand  and  only  then  that  he  realizes  that  it  is  less  clue  and  more  gift.

          harry  studies  the  braided  bracelet,  turquoise  and  scarlet  woven  together  with  a  practiced  hand.  he  slips  it  onto  his  wrist  and  spins  to  give  chase,  a  wolfish  grin  barely  contained  as  he  weaves  his  way  through  the  crowd  after  her  turquoise  figure.  he  grows  more  eager,  more  excited  with  every  second  that  runs  by  that  he  doesn't  have  her  in  hsi  hands,  following  her  down  the  stairs  and  into  the  hull  of  the  ship  and  down  a  dark  corridor.  isntead  of  uma,  he  finds  a  wooden  box,  rough  and  sunkissed  with  age  and  wear  and  his  name  carved  on  the  lid.

          for  a  moment,  harry  only  inspects  the  room.  still  searching  for  his  captain  before  finally  he's  forced  to  relent  and  opens  the  box  to  find  a  second  present  and  a  note.  the  note  is  written  in  uma's  familiar  hand,  and  signed  with  her  signature  and  the  woods  from  there  are  easy  enough  to  decipher.  there's  a  lightness  to  the  way  his  stomach  knots  when  he  curls  his  fingers  around  the  pocket  watch.

          the  wood  is  warm  in  his  hand,  smooth  and  polished  with  a  water  resistent  finish.  it's  old,  and  used,  but  the  fine  craftsmanship  is  unmistakable.  he  drags  his  thumb  over  the  carved  waves,  rolling  the  watch  in  his  hand  as  he  listens  to  the  hand  marked  the  seconds  that  passed.  he  slips  it  into  his  pocket,  closes  the  box  lid  with  a  snap  and  his  grin  broadens.  the  chase  wasn't  over  yet,  it  wouldn't  be  over  until  he  had  her  in  his  hands,  until  he  could  kiss  his  thanks  into  her  mouth  and  be  sure  that  she  understood  it.

Reason   to   grab   a   sword   and   fight   was   apparent   in   Uma's   mind,   but   Jane   was   left   scrambling,   trying   to   get   get   between   Uma   and   the   door,   but   hopefully   not   be   caught   between   the   door   and   the   pointy   end   of   her   sword.   "Wait,   wait,   wait,   Uma.   Could   we   maybe   handle   this   another   way?   Like   making   sure   we   know   what   happened,   maybe   try   to   find   a   solution   that's   legal?"

harry's not sure he'll ever get used to this; to him, it's nothing short of a genuine honor to be the one in this position with uma, to have her put him on his knees and have her do whatever she'd like with him. a thrill goes through him at her words, although it's an outcome that's already pretty much guaranteed; he can already feel her name on his tongue, buzzing just beneath the surface, ready to get out. uma, uma, uma. the word feels at home on his lips, like he born to say it. he smiles up at her, because, even though she's in charge, just to be with her means he's getting exactly what he wants, too.
