Rm 215 - Sunday evening

[defeats_buses]

Staying out in the woods much longer than he inticipated, it was a rather bedraggled prince who found his way back to the dorms, Giselleless. Ah, but it was as much as he figured. And the woodland creatures knew nothing. She was gone and his heart must simply let her go.

With a great sigh, he showered, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, and sat on his

It had been another day of gorgeous warmth and she had appreciated the walk between the school and town quite a lot. After showering and changing into a weather-appropriate short dress, Adora made her way downstairs and stood in Edward's doorway, as promised.

"Watching something interesting?" she inquired.

[defeats_buses]

Prince Edward took a single moment to appreciate the beauty that was Adora before he said, "Greetings Adora! You look lovely! And the Magic Mirror makes no sense to me, I'm afraid."

[fabulous_secret]

"The television?" Adora corrected. "I don't know that it ever makes sense, to be honest. And thank you, Edward, you're looking very much like a local."

[defeats_buses]

"Exactly," he replied, looking at the television. He must remember that it was called such here. He then smiled at her and wiggled his bare toes. "That is a good thing?"

[fabulous_secret]

"I don't know," she admitted looking down at her own dress. "The clothes are comfortable enough, but sometimes I wonder what people back home would say if they saw me like this."

[defeats_buses]

"As do I with my clothing as well." He plucked at his t-shirt. "It is odd, entirely. But ooooh! Please do come in and have a seat as you like. I've cold beverages, Adora! And cheese!"

[fabulous_secret]

She moved to sit beside him happily, folding her hands in her lap for lack of other purpose. "You are very well prepared, Edward."

[defeats_buses]

He scooted a little closer. "For you, anything Adora." Ahhh, but she was so lovely!

"How has your weekend been, dear one?"

[fabulous_secret]

She tilted her head to better meet his eyes and smiled. "It's vastly improved now that I'm here with you. But it was bearable before, if less eventful than usual."

[defeats_buses]

His hand fell over his heart and his gasp was small, but clearly audible. "You honor me with such words. Mine has now been made perfect! You are a sight for sore eyes, to be true."

[fabulous_secret]

She had not intended to affect him so much. "Did I surprise you just then?" Maybe Hannibal was right and she needed to be clearer.

[defeats_buses]

"Yes, of course you did," he replied, wondering why she would ask him such. Was it not obvious?

[fabulous_secret]

"Then I should probably tell you that I really do like you quite a lot," she said. "Just so you aren't surprised again."

[defeats_buses]

He blushed and tilted his head, grinning, and attempted to reach for her hand to hold. "And you are not surprised to hear that I like you quite a lot, as well?"

[fabulous_secret]

She gave her hand easily. "I had hoped," she admitted. "But it's always good to hear."

[defeats_buses]

His thumb caressed her skin gently. "I am also glad you are here. It is much more private," he told her, stating the obvious.
