+ hands. So, maybe he's not romantic. Maybe. . . he's never had a serious relationship. But the way he feels about Jamarion. . . is something new. And he's willing to at least try.

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

( Starter for @oceanicpride )
He looks like a bumbling idiot, searching for Jamarion. Maybe anyone would after several life changing experiences. What he saw, what he heard - it gave him a new perspective on things. Finally, he spots Jamarion and calls out to him. +

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

"Jamarion !"

He's a little too excited, the daisies in his hand are crushed and crumpled. As soon as he's close to Jamarion, he's grinning like a child. Like a man reborn.

"I got these for you. " He thrusts the flowers out in front of him with a smile and shaking+

“They’re in the bars, takin’ a break from ... pirate business.” He grins and loops his arm around Jamar’s shoulders. “You could join us ? I could give you a taste of pirate life.”

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝒥𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑛. @oceanicpride]

The prince looked back to see Jack — brows raising in interest.

“Jack ..?” He asks under his breath, turning his body towards the pirate’s direction. “Fancy meeting you here indeed. Where is your fleet?”

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

He spots him from afar, and then hurried to catch up. Once he reaches Jamarion, he’s a huffing puffing mess.

“Aye, Jamarion ! Fancy running into you, here.”

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝒥𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑛. @oceanicpride]

It's nice to be away from the Kingdom for a bit. Find him wandering quietly on the beach.

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

He looks down at the bread. Pauses. Then he tosses the bread at a bird.

"THAT'LL TEACH HIM "

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

“Fuck that bird. He stole some of my bread.” He looks up and shouts again. “YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CANT HIDE.”

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

“Oh-“ he pauses. “Well one things for sure. He’d never go for me.” Can’t come up with a reason as to why you don’t like Jamarion, jack ? That’s suspicious.

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝒥𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑙. @queendcms]

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand —" She leans in on her rock, cupping her cheeks with a smile.

"What makes you say that, Mr. Jack?"

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

He begins applying the bandages to wound, and offers a grin to Jamarion. “We could be whatever you want to be, prince. You’d be shocked by how flexible I am.” Someone hit him.

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝒥𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑛. @oceanicpride]

"In this context then, what are we?" The merprince raised a brow, crossing his arms.

"You're too embarrassing sometimes, Jack .." He muttered quietly, averting his gaze from the other. "I will admit — I am curious as to how humans treat wounds .."

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

“Ya think ( I’m ) suited for him ?” He snorts. “I would never get with the prissy prince.”

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝒥𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑙. @queendcms]

A smile. “Maybe I am..!”

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

" Hey, it was only an offer ! " He's grinning at the prince now, someone should wipe that smug look off his face. " And children aren't the only one who hold hands, sometimes good friends do. Sometimes lovers do. " He's gathering his bandage from his bag.

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝒥𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑛. @oceanicpride]

He winces slightly at the pain, but he doesn’t pull back.

“I take it I should avoid swimming for a bit ..” No worries — he’ll stay by the shores. Then, his cheeks go red.

“H-hold my hand?! I’m no child!” Please hold his hand.

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

“You talkin’ of me ?”

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝒥𝑒𝑤𝑒𝑙. @queendcms]

"Who is the pirate? He looks suitable for my brother!"

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

Trust ? No one had said that to him in years - maybe even a decade. He reaches out gently, and examines the wound.
" Aye, nothin' too bad. Should still be covered. I may put alcohol on it to clean the wound - it'll sting. Do ya . . . need a hand to hold ?"

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝒥𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑛. @oceanicpride]

Jamarion swallows deeply, gently releasing his grip from the wet sand. It's not to let guards down, but .. without proper care, it could grow infected.

". . . I .." A pause, then a sigh. "F-fine. I trust you. Do what you must .."

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

+ I won't hurt you, I swear. "

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

At first, he's offended. "What ? Ya don't like my hands - too poor for ya ?" He reaches for the wound quickly, but then decides against it last minute. You can see the wheels turning in his head - and then, he looks at Jamarion with a gentle expression.

"Just let me see. +

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝒥𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑛. @oceanicpride]

When the other comes closer to inspect, Jamarion hesitates, pulling away.

He couldn't help but let himself stop the other. Something stopped him from declining help. "Mmph .." He muttered, looking away.

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

“Why - I want to revel in taking the moral high ground.” He snickers a bit, then he kneels next to Jamarion and examines the wound.

“What kinda man would I be to let someone suffer ? Do you think I’m a monster - sometimes I am, but not today. Let me give you the proper tools.”

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝒥𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑛. @oceanicpride]

Seaweed .. probably wasn't the best choice. He looked down at his tail — then back at Jack.

"...Why are you choosing to help me? I've been nothing but cruel to you and your crew."

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

“I will EAT you.” He’s yelling at a bird.

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

He notices the prince's wound, and raises a brow. He's received far worse injuries from the sea - but his heart is moved by pity. He sighs.
" Where'd ya get that - is kelp really goin' to help ? You need bandages. I got 'em, if you need 'em."

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝒥𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑛. @oceanicpride]

Tch .. pesky humans. Always leaving their trash in the ocean.

... He was swimming when his tail was cut by a broken bottle. He groans, trying to bandage his tail with some kelp.

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

+ not sure why. Instead he steps back. "Best run off to your little hidey hole in the ocean. The lands no place for a mermaid. "

[— 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 @_stillyghost]

He takes note of the crashing waves, the prince's curling fists. For a moment, he's scared - but his pride won't such feelings to come to light. Instead, he steps forward - like a challenge.

Anyone else talking like this to him ? He'd fight. But he can't fight Jamarion, he's +

[— 𝒫𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝒥𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑛. @oceanicpride]

— don't forget who ( rules ) them." Jamar adds, curling his hands into fists. Then, he catches himself. Exhaling, the rocky waves calmed.

". . . You best leave before I let my temper get the best of me."
