WHAT || The flight to Italy; annd speaking to Zatanna's father
WHERE || On a plane; Florence, Italy

It's only a few hour plane ride from England to Italy, but the team has a little time to settle in and get to know each other and/or ask questions of Zee in preparation for meeting with her dad.

And of course, when they arrive, she takes the lead, bringing them through the streets of Florence, Italy at night and leading them around the door of a sold out theater advertisement for the Amazing Zatara.

[Yeah Hook does not comprehend these plane things. Boat sailing at hyperspeed? Fine. Dimensional travel? He's good. BUT WHY THE FUCK ISN'T IT FALLING DOWN HE DOES NOT COMPREHEND THIS SHIT.

Which means he's splitting his time between looking out the window and very determinedly not looking out the window because HOW IS THIS EVEN HAPPENING.

He needs to fix his boat. And never use a plane again.]

[uncurse]

Are you gonna need a paper bag?

[ when emma wanders up the aisle, she leans on the empty seat opposite hook's, hands resting on it behind her. there's a water bottle held in one of them. ]

[unhand]

[Hook raises an eyebrow at her, though he doesn't let go of the arm rests.]

What for?

[uncurse]

For when you throw up. [ she pulls the water bottle out from behind her and offers it out to him. ] Here.

[unhand]

[He does not look amused, but he takes the water.]

I've sailed waves that dwarfed mountains. Gone through portals that traversed worlds. All without so much as flinching. Yet put me in this... metal contraption... [He dares a peek out of the window and shudders.] It's not natural.

[uncurse]

That's because it's science, not magic. Your definition of natural isn't the same as this world's. [ she watches him carefully, disguising genuine concern as she scrutinizes whether or not he's managing ok. the fact that he's even admitting he's struggling is ... not promising. ]

[unhand]

I know what science is. [Sort of. He's heard the word. He drinks from the bottle and gives her an almost skittish look.] I'm fine, lass. Don't fret over me.

[uncurse]

I'm not fretting. [ it's argumentative and defensive, but emma always is with him. ]

[unhand]

Why else would you've come over? The pleasure of my company?

[uncurse]

To do the decent thing and help you manage, but I see now what a mistake that was.

[unhand]

Don't be like that, lass. [He takes another swallow from the water bottle.] I appreciate the company.

[uncurse]

[ it ... does appear to be distracting him, tbf. she'd feel guilty leaving him to his airsickness. so instead, she bickers. ]

Maybe you should spend more time learning how to keep it, then.

[unhand]

[He raises an eyebrow.] Do I get any hints?

[undealt]

[The only thing that improves being a nervous flier is seeing someone you hate also being a nervous flier. Small victories.]

First time on a plane, Captain? [He's calmer now that... things have stabilized.]

[unhand]

[Despite the fact that Hook's anxiety has not lessened, he still manages a sneer. Because he sure noticed that shared flight anxiety as well.]

Why, am I handling it too much like you?

[undealt]

[You. Suck.]

Well, I have the benefit of knowing precisely how badly this can go.

[And you're... fixated on HOW DO IT STAY UP. His fear is totally valid. Shut up.]

[unhand]

[Yeah Hook's pretty sure that means he's right to be afraid. HOW MANY WAYS CAN IT GO WRONG?]

And no crocodile to comfort you. Must be miserable.

[undealt]

[Yes, because crocodiles make the best comfort animals. Also, you are really fixated on the crocodile. DID ONE REALLY TAKE YOUR HAND? BECAUSE HE'S STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT.]

Well, we can't all take comfort from the same places you do. [Annd a wisdom check of 13 means he's... noticed him flirting with everyone, but does not know he and Faye screwed around in Emma's bed.]

[unhand]

[Wow you really just... gave him that one. Hook can't help the sly grin that creeps across his face.]

Is it a physical inability or simply that no one wants to?

[undealt]

[Wow. He walked right into that. Eyeroll, though. EYEROLL.]

Not so dramatic as all that. I just have more discretion.

[unhand]

Some combination of both, then. [Not letting this be.]

[undealt]

[Some of us do not think with our penises, Hook. Except where Lacey is concerned, but there's no Lacey so hah.]

And that look of thinly veiled disgust Ms. Swan keeps giving you is all due to your immeasurable charms, is it? [(wis 22.) Emma's dissatisfaction is officially more obvious than Hook's flirting. Or senpai just notices Emma more.]

[unhand]

[Oh. Right. That. Is definitely not a thing he wanted Gold pointing out.]

Who says I have any interest in comforting her?

[No he wants candlelit dinners and staring deeply into each other's eyes with her. It's different. Really. NAT 20 BLUFF differently so suck it.]

[undealt]

You don't? [HE SURE DOES SOUND LIKE HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IT... But no, he totally does, because of course you're a heartless bastard with no soul.] Seems a lot of effort for a woman you're not interested in.

['Cause he might totally buy your bluff, but you still... follow her around like a puppy.]

[unhand]

What of it? Are you interested in her? [Because that's skeevy.]
