5 TIMES SOMEONE THREATENED HOOK (AND 1 TIME SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED)
3 – A Girl worth Fighting for
"Mulan!" Hook exclaimed, honestly surprised to see her. He winked. "Modern attire…suits you." Wearing only jeans and a t-shirt, she looked smaller, younger, more approachable. She still moved with a swordfighter's grace, but without the plated armor and magical sword it was easy to forget her warrior's training. Watching her walk down the street, moving deftly through the crowd, one was aware only of her beauty. "What work has Prince Charming assigned to keep you busy?"
"I've been teaching Emma to use a sword," she answered, not even acknowledging his empty pleasantries. "She's getting quite good."
So that was where Emma went every morning. Interesting that she hadn't bothered to share that information with him. "I'm glad to hear it." Hook said neutrally.
"Indeed. Her father insisted on the lessons; he said that if you or any other foe ever came after her with a blade, she needed to know how to defend herself."
"Really."
"She agreed to receive instruction, though she did say that it was unnecessary." Mulan paused thoughtfully. "She said that if you ever betrayed her, she would "shoot your balls off.""
Hook laughed, shocked and amused and unexpectedly pleased. "That does sound like something Emma would say. And do."
The warrior studied him with dark, inscrutable eyes. "I asked for a demonstration of the weapon," she said. "Emma is a skilled marksman."
