[poking him in the side when he hears the muttering, but because he can't pass up having a conversation about what they're watching he mumbles back]

It wouldn't have been that hard. She could just find the name of the ship and see if there was a list of the sailors who were on board.

[oneandmikleonly]

[bops his hand halfheartedly; they're too woozy for a proper ticklefight]

That depends on how good the recordkeeping is, though, doesn't it? What if there isn't a registry? What if he has a common name? That's a problem.

[he's so serious]

[imsorey]

Those might be obstacles, but it's nothing she can't overcome. If he was a sailor on a ship who needed to be paid for the work he did, then there would be some record of him whether it was physical or mental. Just asking around might be enough to get her the information she needs too.

Besides, it's a love story, she'd find him no matter what.

[Sorey is just as serious. LOVE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY!!]

[oneandmikleonly]

You're so optimistic.

[...cue Triton showing up in Ariel's underwater hoard and wrecking it...Mikleo shifts back from the screen a little]

I'm...glad Gramps never got that mad.

[imsorey]

[Tensing up when Triton starts blowing things up, all the way through him leaving Ariel alone to cry. Ouch.]

Yeah. Jeez...that's overkill no matter how you look at it.

[oneandmikleonly]

[clutches at Sorey's arm tightly as that scene ends, wordless.]

[imsorey]

[That

sucked]

[He shifts and opens his mouth, but he doesn't have anything to say, so he hunches in a little closer and waits to see what will happen next.]

[oneandmikleonly]

[there are tears and bad decisions happening ]

I don't like this.

[imsorey]

[Sea witches named Ursula are apparently bad news, who knew]

She's just upset. She's not going to actually do it, right?

[oneandmikleonly]

Uh...

[she is totally doing it]

[imsorey]

No, don't do it, she's--

[pausing to cover his mouth and cough before continuing to yell at the screen in a rusty voice]

--she's tricking you!

[oneandmikleonly]

S-Sorey, calm down!

[puts a hand over his mouth helpfully]

[imsorey]

[MUFFLED OBJECTIONS!!!!!!!]

[oneandmikleonly]

It's. It's just a movie.

[even if he also looks rattled by it]

[imsorey]

[gives a grumbly sigh and coughs again before leaning back so he's not squishing mikleo.]

That doesn't mean it's okay.

[oneandmikleonly]

[withdraws his hand and tugs at a lock of Sorey's hair]

It's not, but it is just a story. You always want to help everyone out...

[imsorey]

[Ariel is a good girl of course he wants to help her!! He shakes his head at the accusation; he is getting swept up in the story, though it's hard not to.]

She doesn't need my help anyways. I bet she'll figure out a way to make it work.

[Case and point, SHE MEETS THE PRINCE]

[oneandmikleonly]

[he relaxes a little when Ariel does that instead of DROWNING HORRIBLY and starts analyzing again.]

There's some kind of inherent symbolism in her losing her voice to gain her desire, isn't there...

[imsorey]

A little. It's more like the one thing that could help her fully obtain what she's after is what she traded away. Or at least it makes it a whole lot harder to explain the situation to him.

[oneandmikleonly]

A very literal interpretation of a deal with the devil...

[imsorey]

It doesn't seem impossible to overcome though. She looks like she's managing okay.

[oneandmikleonly]

But she still needs to kiss him.

[FRETFUL]

[imsorey]

She has three whole days. He has to be able to see that she's in love with him by then.

[OVERESTIMATING THE POWER OF LOVE]

[oneandmikleonly]

[covering his face and peeking through his fingers]

This is gonna be rough.

[imsorey]

[There goes one day

she used her fork as a hairbrush]

It'll be...something.
