itsapirateslifeEver since he'd started putting the finishing touches on his boat, Hook had been planning this party. When he realized it would line up perfectly with a certain someone's birthday, the plan was immediately modified.
The food he'd arranged from a local cafe was fairly simple, cut up fruit and vegetables with a variety of different sandwiches and meat pies, as well as some modern snacks like potato chips and the curly fries from the boardwalk. To drink, there was a juice and sodas as well as a fully stocked bar, all courtesy of funds from Hook's new job...not that he'd told anyone he'd gotten a job. It wasn't like there was any piracy to be had in Darrow and he would rather not have to put Emma in the position of having to arrest him.
He'd conspired with Henry, Charming and the others from their realm to make this a surprise for Emma. Some of the food was sitting on the table on deck but must of it was in the galley by the bar. In the center of the table under the deck was a cake made by Henry surrounded by cupcakes (There were some apple tarts, donated by Regina, but that had mysteries disappeared. Overboard. It's what the queen got for trying to clean his boat. It was perfectly clean thank you very much).
Hook had made sure to invite has many of both of their friends as possible and had them all gather on deck at the time Henry was supposed to bring Emma to the docks. There was a drape covering the name on the back of the boat. He was dressed in his pirate best, with his red waist coat and hook polished to a shine as he stood on the dock, two glasses of champagne perched next to him on a post.
[backdated to October 23rd. The boat looks like this yacht though the furnishings inside are much more rustic and only half the cabins have beds, the others are storage. The plumbing and electricity do work, but there are no TVs or anything by way of modern convenience outside of the galley.]

"I made the cake for her. Kind of...lopsided, but hopefully it tastes good. I'm trying to cook and stuff more, especially when my moms are working." He looks at him curiously. "What do you do here, in Darrow?"

That's about the farthest from Delsin one can get, but still. "I occasionally paint." This is a bit more misleading, but it's not a lie: he paints . . . graffiti.

"And you paint? I like painting, too."

Date: 2014-11-09 02:40 pm (UTC)"I've gotten into a few fights, sure." Fewer since he'd come here, though. Seemed like every day in Seattle had been one giant fight, from start to finish. A war, or something. But he doesn't let that drag him down. Henry returns to the painting, so Delsin grins.
"Art is a great way to express yourself. Don't let anyone tell you different, got it?"
