#paintedragcn. 001.
the dragon had moved up in the world, harry observed silently as he circled the office. bookshelves filled with tomes wider and thicker than his head, a desk splayed with pages, envelopes, half read letters, ink fall pens and golden tins. the window behind her ran from the floor to the ceiling and looked out over the castle grounds. royal advisor was certainly more than a step up from being her mothers little helper.
harry whistled his appreciation for mal's new station in life, his grin shark-like as ever as he ran the curved edge of his hook along the spines of the books that lined her shelves. ❝ nice digs, mal, ❞ he said mockingly, ❝ bet it comes with a bell boy and everything, ❞ // @paintedragcn ♡’d for a starter .

the sound of glass shattering all around him elicited a vicious grin on the usually stoic stilinski’s lips. he flipped the bat in his hand, glancing through the safety goggles to mal on the other side of the room. there weren’t any rage rooms in beacon hills, but now that he had gotten a taste, he knew that if anyone were to pen one it was sure to be lucrative.
❝ you know, if they’d had one of these back in high school i wouldn’t have started so many fights, ❞ cosmo claimed, he swung the bat at a particularly sturdy microwave, knocking it off of its perch on the table and sending it crashing to the ground, ❝ well . . . i probably wouldn’t have started so many fights ❞ // @paintedragcn

It wasn't often that Makkari found herself unsettled, her abilities to sense and feel the vibrations of even the slightest of movements meant that she was rarely caught off guard. However, the disturbance had been little more than a gentle breeze, as if she had left a window open. It wouldn't have been concerning if she hadn't within her closed storage container that was filled to the roof with numerous artifacts, books, and relics that she had collected over the eons.
Makkari raced through the container and in an instant she found the one responsible for the shift. A young girl reached for a tome from one of her shelves and Makkari seemingly vanished from where she had once stood.
Within the next instant, Makkari had the tome in her hand and was leaning against the bookshelf with her brows raised high. ❝ You feel like magic, ❞ Makkari mouthed as she signed with her free hand, ❝ if you're one of Sprite's friends, you should know not to come here without her, ❞

𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫, harry had promised that much to uma when she had asked him to stand in her place in auroria and he intended to keep his word, but that didn’t mean that he was happy about it. court was everything harry hated about being a captain. the backroom deals, the peacocking of people who thought they were more than they were, the way that no one ever really said what they really meant, everything had to be read between the lines. it was a game of sorts, one harry rarely had the patience for and that night was no different.
after paying his respects to the host, harry wove between the nobles, picking and choosing who to speak to and what to speak about, fishing for information, snippets of secrets unwisely shared, things he could take and use later, until he spotted mal.
she had made a place for herself not just in auroria as an advisor, but as a voice for magical reformation that reached across kingdoms and even harry had to acknowledge the influence that she held now. harry stepped away from the game of court, and slipped into place beside mal.
❝ what do you think would happen if i spiked the punch? ❞ harry asked, a grin threatening to crawl across his lips.

Actually, Mal hadn’t really considered Jane’s feelings when she started dating Carlos… It had all seemed irrelevant at the time, but yeah, maybe this time there was a little part of her that did worry what the fairy would think, now that the two of them were spending a substantial amount of time together. Not only was Mal dating her ex, but she had also given Carlos quite a bit of advice on how to break up with Jane when she noticed he had been struggling. Did Jane know? Was it awkward if that was the case?
“Friends. Yeah, we are,” She sighed a little with relief, glad that Jane’s opinion of either of them hadn’t gone sour or anything. “But, as your friend …you sure that this,” She paused to gesture between both of them, “is alright?” Because she was more than willing to give Jane space if needed.
If Carlos had been thinking of Mal even in the final days of their relationship, that was a mystery that could remain with the universe. Jane didn't want to know everything, not if it would break her heart. "Mal..." Hesitation marks her words and a hand reaches up brush back her hair even as her eyes flick away. "Sometimes it hurts, but I'll be okay. Break-ups happen." It was disappointing that it hadn't worked out, Jane wanted her fairytale romance and accepting that she was the supporting character instead of the princess still stung, but she wasn't the first to lose a boyfriend. "you don't think I'm going to be like Audrey and pull some revenge scheme, do you? Because I'm not, really. I just might need some time." Rather a wallflower than a third wheel, Jane didn't want to dive into self-pity by surrounding herself with happy couples too soon, but she couldn't deny they were together.

It was too early and far too sunny for the young sea-witch to be in any form of pleasant mood. She had been trying to sleep, though it hadn’t come easy, and she had barely drifted off when a knock comes to her dorm door. So much for that. Uma groans as she forces herself from a mess of blankets on the floor where she’d been trying to rest — the beds were too soft, she was still getting used to that — to open the door. Her tired gaze turns to false bravado and arms crossing instantly over her chest when she sees a familiar face and purple hair. ❛ To what do I owe this visit? ❜ One of her eyebrows quirks and she makes no effort to open the door further or move to invite Mal into the room.

“ you made it ! ” noelani exclaimed upon seeing mal’s approach. while the isle had gone through a fairly dramatic transformation, there were still certain pockets of the island that were fairly dangerous and as such, noelani had chosen one of the neutral districts to meet mal so that they would both be comfortable. noelani had two backpacks, one currently stuffed full of her climbing gear and the other almost completely empty save for two bottles of purified rain water. “ how was the trip over ? i hope you didn’t get stopped by anyone, you know, those bogs boys have been getting bold lately. ”
