There doesn't even have to be a fight. Kida and her men posture, and most of the group - other than Helga - are so shocked at Rourke's behaviour that they refuse to help him, and take his guns. Rourke and Helga end up in handcuffs and gags, and the rest of them prepare to leave.
"You don't have to go," says Kida softly. It's right in her ear, and Audrey jumps because she hadn't expected the princess to be that close.
Audrey shrugs. "I've got family to go back to. My Pappi wouldn't be too happy if I went and vanished in an underground city. And hey, at least you know those crystals are the key now."
Kida toys with the crystal at her throat for a moment. It's almost exactly the same blue as her eyes. "True."
She looks up, something in her gaze that Audrey doesn't quite recognise, and then leans towards her. Audrey leans back, and that gets a wicked grin.
"Two for flinching."
The first kiss lands on the corner of her mouth. The second is full on her lips, and then it deepens, and Audrey can hardly breathe but she manages to, just to make this kiss go on forever and to let Kida's hands wrap around her arms.
Finally they break for air, and Audrey glances over to the rest of the crew, who are looking at her with a range of faces from shock to smirks to drooling (Mole needs another slap, it seems).

"Tell my Pappi that I'm happy here, you got that? You upset him, I'll kill you from under the ground."
None of them doubt her.

The favourite part of her city is still the very top, where she and Kida can see the world but it can't see them. A good thing two, when she learns to trace the princess's body with her hand, and lips explore her skin in return.
Every so often, one of them will whisper, "Two for flinching," and it reminds them of what they long ago promised each other: to never fear what may happen. Slowly they will work out how Kida's world works once again, and resurrect it, but until they it is not worth fear or faltering.
