Rapunzel looked at herself in the mirror, giving the dress on her another final once over.  She’d trusted Ella’s judgement, and trusted that she couldn’t do her wrong as she worked on it.  The princess turned to face Ella, offering a look in disbelief, one that said she wasn’t buying it one bit.

“Come on, Ella,” she replied in a softer voice, offering a smile.  “Lovely dream or not, you deserve every bit of time to talk about how lovely it was.”

‘    you’re hungry.    ’      the proper ethic would be to ask the question.    in a way,   hephaestus is aware of this   -    but he gives manner no look.   has only proceeded to walk out from his workshop and then,   upon a few minutes,   return.   there’s a small bowl of soup in his hand.    (    it is hot,    the temperature would cause a mortal to flinch away,    but hephaestus has fire in his blood.   to him,   it is home.    )    the other,   he holds a cup of water.    ‘    eat.    ’     is all he says,   putting it near the girl.    hephaestus trudges to his work,   then.   there are requests that needed to be done.     /   for @coronaslight​ !

“Why are you looking at me like that?” // from hans @coronaslight​ // this meme 

❝ How should I be looking at you, then ? ❞ The queen wanted to say something to retort his question, but could not. Instead, an honest answer came from her. One that she didn’t expect to come from her lips, but came nonetheless. ❝ I had not received word from you-- what was I supposed to think ? Of course I suspected the worst. ❞ 

She pauses, eyes softening at the Prince & appearing wetter than usual. ❝ ...Wouldn’t you have thought the same as I ? ❞

             Briar smiles softly, picks up a single berry from her basket gently placing it on her mouth. The sweet little treat melts almost immediately into sweetness, it's their season and wild berries never disappoint.  ❝ There's really not much to tell. ❞  She says with a giggle.  ❝ I live in a little cottage with my three aunts and I'll come out and spend time with my animal friends whenever they want me out of the house. ❞

Domesticity was no stranger to her, though it seemed to become more and more a part of their relationship. The times that she would stay the night often resulted with her quietly making the two breakfast, and occasionally it included tending to his hangovers. It was a simple routine, but she liked it.

Bringing over their meals, she solemnly placed his plate before him before settling down across from him.

“Do you ever think of starting a family together?”

Even in the dark she could sense the look he was giving her, see the smile on his lips.  She bet that he could sense hers, too, see her cheeks lightly flush from the proximity.  Part of her actually hated him for a second, for lightly trailing a finger down her arm knowing how it would make her shiver.  But still, her lips curled into another smile in the darkness, eyes closing for just a moment.  “Not a single one.”  Her voice was a mere whisper, hushed to make sure nobody outside the two of them would hear but also, his face was close enough already, and she knew it.  “I bet you could.  But you’d have to try your hardest.”

Casually, Jim’s shoulders shrugged from the memory.  He remembered it being a big deal back then, and until now he hadn’t thought about it.  Looking back, if he were a bystander, he probably would have had the same reaction as his class, and as Ella.  “Something tells me that I was meant to be a prankster,” he mused with another laugh.  “I honestly can’t even remember how long it took me to come up with everything.  I just remember I pulled it off perfectly.”
