Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:25 pm (UTC)He doesn't notice Rhys looking at him]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:32 pm (UTC)There's a prince...
Rhys lets out a low whistle when Erik appears on screen. He sees where this is going.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:33 pm (UTC)What?
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:36 pm (UTC)[Partly Rhys is saying this because he was a teenager once, and right now he is Ariel.
And teenage Rhys would have at least made a compelling effort to get that.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:40 pm (UTC)What, the man?
[is that what merpeople do?]
He can't breathe underwater and she can't go on land. She'll dry out or he'll drown.
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:45 pm (UTC)[Rhys remarks, still watching the screen.]
But look at her face. Look how much she wants him...
[Maybe he's playing a big dumb here, because Hux so clearly doesn't see where it's going.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:49 pm (UTC)[He's not saying this to be mean, he's honestly confused about how this could ever work out]
She has to realize how futile this is.
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:52 pm (UTC)[Like wanting to be part of that world?]
Just because it's futile, that doesn't mean she can just stop herself from feeling it.
[But uh oh! A storm appears to be brewing!]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 10:55 pm (UTC)To the point where he gives a pained grimace when the prince leaps from the ship]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:02 pm (UTC)The storm rages, the prince sinks, and Ariel gets that and drags it to shore only to encounter exactly the obstacle that Hux anticipated.
No legs.
As Ariel is draped beside the Prince on the beach, reflecting helplessly on how beautiful he is, Rhys steals another glance at Hux.
Does he get it?]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:05 pm (UTC)She still can't breathe on land.
[Guess who hasn't been introduced to the idea of magic yet??]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:08 pm (UTC)Rhys shushes Hux, because it seems fair and appropriate.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:10 pm (UTC)She's not, but it's the thought that counts]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:20 pm (UTC)This is cool, but Rhys doesn't feel like it would have slaked his thirst for forbidden cuties when he was a teenager.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:22 pm (UTC)You can't expect her to stay there once she's seen everything she's wanted.
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-22 11:51 pm (UTC)[Oh hey, now she's slipping away to her cave to see... a statue of Eric!]
Oh my god, I'd die. I'd be obsessed.
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-23 12:27 am (UTC)[Still, though]
If I ever get a big enough head to want a statue made of me, please shoot me.
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-23 12:33 am (UTC)[Yeah, she's not the smartest sixteen year old, but Rhys liked way worse boys.]
He didn't want i-- Oh shiiiiiit!
[Papa's back! And he's not happy!]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-23 12:48 am (UTC)[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-23 12:55 am (UTC)Hey, Hux? Buddy?
[Yep, making an executive decision to distract him during this part of the film.]
You tried the popcorn, right? What do you think?
[He flashes a lopsided little smile.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-23 01:11 am (UTC)But he doesn't shush Rhys and he doesn't move from where his back is pressed against the wall. His gaze hardens a little, twisting into a bit of a bitter snarl.]
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-23 01:16 am (UTC)Rhys doesn't touch Hux, even though he wants to.
Instead, he says:]
She's gonna get out.
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-23 01:18 am (UTC)I thought you said you hadn't seen this.
[Spam]
Date: 2018-10-23 01:22 am (UTC)[Because she's Rhys. And Rhys got out.
She's probably Hux as well. Hux needed to get out.]
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2018-10-23 01:25 am (UTC)If you say so.
