"How do I look?" Killian asked, giving princely twirl in his new overcoat. Freya, his Osprey daemon, looked up from where she was
doing her own preening to give him an unimpressed look.
"What? Is there something wrong?" the Captain frowned a bit, looking down, personally, he thought his new coat was quite
ravishing. It was a dark reddish brown with golden buckles along the neckline and, according to Belle, it brought out his eyes.
The Osprey sighed, and put down her wing and took a look at her human.
"Nothing, it's just, don't you think she'll notice if you
suddenly start dressing up for your meetings?" the bird asked,
tilting her head at his surprisingly groomed hair and trimmed beard.
"There's nothing wrong with wanting to fancy up every now and then" he defended, straightening his coat. The bird made an
annoyed squawk before doing a jump-flap to land on his shoulder.
"I'm not saying there is, but I do think she'd get a little suspicious if you brush your hair down so flat. Besides, I don't think it's very becoming" she hummed, using her beak to scruff his hair a bit more. The daemon pulled back a little to examine her
human entirely before nodding.
"See, that's much better. At least now you look a little more like yourself"
"Like myself?"
"Well, when you flatten your hair and trim your beard to low, you begin to look like her father, the Prince. And I don't know about you, but I don't find that very attractive" Freya giggled, placing a few stray hairs into place.
Hook scrunched up his nose in distaste,
"You're right. I don't think she'd like that, scruffy hair it is then?" he asked, tilting his head to look at Freya with
affection. She nodded and Hook took one last look in the mirror.
"Well, off we go then, to see our dearest Swan" he smiled
"Not to mention the ever-so-handsome, Julius"
"Of course"
