[screwhope]

emma's been at this for hours -- currently , she's trying to will her magic to work in tandem with her sword. light ripples through the metal , sparkling like the sun as she swings at a dummy. her muscles ache &* her skin is shiny with sweat. but , no one could say the princess didn't train her ass off.

her gaze flickers over to the huntsman as she hears him , a bright smile turning up her lips. her stance relaxes , blade resting against her shoulder now. ❛ how many times do i have to tell you to call me emma ? ❜ her head shakes as she moves to pour herself some water from a pitcher. ❛ i'm trying. imbuing things with magic is harder than it looks. ❜

@screwhope liked for a thing off the wish list

When he had escaped the Evil Queen's castle, he hadn't known where he was going to go exactly, and had ended up finding sanctuary in the kingdom of the first human he'd ever trusted.

Snow White and her prince had rewarded him for helping them all those years ago, making him a knight, though the title didn't mean much to the former huntsman.

He was free to leave whenever he chose, and Snow White had managed to get his heart back for him, repaying that debt was more important than any title.

So he took the name Graham and pledged fealty to Snow White and Prince Charming.

This wasn't a bad life, and for the most part Graham was happy, especially because one of his duty's was to guard Princess Emma with his life.

Not that the princess needed it much, she was a fierce as any she-wolf.

Today he was watching the princess practice her magic, he normally didn't trust magic but with her he felt less anxious about it.

"I'm no magician, but you're doing very well, Your Highness."
