Oh, don't use 'target.' It has such negative connotations. [A beat.] Unless of course with reference to our dear Salazar, then by all means - target away.
Having been the literal target to some of them, as has poor Salazar, I think the word is quite suitable. And like a target, they've a chance of being missed entirely.
[ she gives him a pointed look. ] Or do I need to remind you of the last feast Helga put together?
[He waves his hand.] Target or otherwise, my surprises are never malevolent, my dear Rowena. Don't listen to Salazar when he says he doesn't enjoy them.
[His own look turns into one of pointed innocence.] With her absolutely perfect apple pie?
Yes, I'm certain he enjoyed the time you'd spelled all of his clothing to keep changing form very much. I never knew how handsome he'd look in that green dress.
[ she holds back a laugh because she really shouldn't laugh at the memory - for poor salazar's sake, of course. ]
[In a really dumb way, he likes that look on her face - the almost laugh, the laugh he knows is there but she won't let out. It suits her, as much as he loves hearing her laugh outright too.] I will own up to nothing. You can't make me.
I thought so too. Certainly more of an emerald than a forest. [That murderous gaze is his FAVORITE gaze tbh.]
[He scratches his chin.] Depends - what's to be wagered?
[Godric who are you kidding, you're going to accept this no matter what. Especially because it's Rowena. He likes to win, but she's always a worthy opponent to lose against in the right moment.]
Not thought so much as many a lecture. [Who knew there were so many shades of green??]
[HE'S THE INVISIBILITY CLOAK OF IMPULSIVE GAMBLES.]
[And really, it's so open and vague that he should be smarter about it, but it's exactly the kind of risk he's willing to take. He holds out his hand.] You've got yourself a deal, Miss Ravenclaw.
I suppose that'd do it as well. You're certainly not short on those. [ 2 MANY 2 HANDLE as sally would let them know ]
Well, Mister Gryffindor, may the best witch win. [ cough it's not cocky if she doesn't include the obligatory wizard in there right. also she'll totally shake his hand with the ferocity of a woman determined to do what it needs to be told she's right. ]
