[ At this point making jokes about it is easy. It's been quite a long time since the Dark One sliced it off. ]
If you're asking what I'm after here then that's easy. We're here for a reason. Why not properly enjoy it while we're here? I'm not so certain we need to be best mates to have a good and proper roll in the sheets.
( isabelle was an intimate woman by nature; it wasn't as if she couldn't appreciate sex when it was stripped down to no more than that hungering need beneath the skin, something raw and animal and natural. doesn't mean it didn't take work to lure her there, either. )
I'm not protesting the fun way, amor. In my experience it's been better to assure I'll be, as you said, properly satisfied before I let another man get so fortunate.
[ Relationships and connections muddy the waters. He learned that lesson the hard way. He doesn't intend to make the same mistakes he made before. Emma made him this way and he intends to live up to it. ]
Ah. You want assurances of my talents in the bedroom? Any stories I tell would simply be stories of lesser women.
( flattery at its utmost degree. she's endured a good deal of men that, perhaps, hadn't been worth her time. though to be fair, few made it to the bedroom with her after a round of taunts. she's a picky girl, and while a little pleasure could go a long way with the responsibility she's carried to cadelle, she still admires the chase. )
It's more so the question as to whether you could keep up. ( stamina runes, but also a figure built around training since she was young. )
I'd be awfully bored with a man who couldn't handle the things I like.
[ When you've been alive for as long as him you learn things. Helpful things. Not to mention he's been to quite a few ports in his time. Usually not leaving alone unless you count the time after Milah. After she died Killian really hadn't wanted another. ]
I can handle plenty, love. Even when I was a little more average I did just fine with women. As a pirate you see many ports and many women.
These days I've got a little more fire in my step.
( a pirate. well, it wasn't like she could any bit easier lay out on the table what she was, back home. however she keeps it a bit closer to her chest. )
A man that's been with numerous women doesn't mean he's learned the bodies of all of them. Certainly not mine.
Say I gave you the opportunity to prove yourself; tell me, what's the first thing you'd do?
( maybe a bit explicit a question, but one she's developed quite a sound read on others by. )
[ It's not like he has any way to explain a Dark One to her. The fact that it makes him a little less human. Even if he wasn't here he couldn't be killed. Not unless you had Excalibur. His own version of the Dark One's dagger. ]
You've a point.
[ One thing he learned in his travels. All women are strikingly different. ]
Now it just seems like you're asking me to talk dirty to you, love. But I'll bite.
First things first would be to get you out of whatever clothing you've got on. Much better with a bare canvas to work on. Then I'd go about exploring with my mouth. I'm a very curious fellow. Provided you let me of course.
( izzy's not one to exactly be started by what was 'a little less human'; coming from a city divide by mundanes and downworlders, given she was here to save the lives of many species alike— well, she didn't discriminate. )
You could call it that, I prefer to see it as a little glimpse as to how I'd be treated. Fair, isn't it?
You're off to a lovely start, you're warming on me, Mr. Jones. Given the chemistry's there in person I'd be a silly girl to deny that kind of attention.
[ It's not something you strive for to become the Dark One. It's a life full of nothing, but pain and darkness. He wouldn't wish it on anyone. And yet Emma chose it for him despite his pleas not to. ]
I can assure you it'd be there.
You're a beautiful woman. I'd be a fool myself not to lavish you in the type of close attention that you certainly deserve. I've always been quite the fan of exploring a woman.
( it wasn't as if she fed off such compliments, but it certainly didn't hurt to hear them. there was something foreign to his diction, piquing the slightest bit of interest as to where he'd come from, where he considered home; why he come at all. )
Sometimes sweet talkers know just the right kind of sweet to be, seems like experience has taught you that.
How about this, cari. We'll meet, and if it's there it's there. If it isn't you find another port to sail to, mm?
[ Foreign indeed. Though most tend to default and insist he's just from England. Wherever that bloody place is. But it's what he's grown accustomed to with people. But he couldn't tell you where it is on a map. Likely couldn't tell you where Storybrooke was either. ]
Love, I can be very sweet. I assure you.
[ Even if he has the previous Dark Ones voices swirling about in his head. ]

Or is that your extent of good deeds to Cadelle?
Usually women like it when it's worked for a bit more.

Why not do it the fun way? You asked for my hand. I wasn't about to lie to you.

I believe I can agree to that. When and where?
