⠀ ⠀ ⠀ “ because, as i said last time, i doubt they would ever succeed in that. “ she wasn’t phased by his complaints. “ i do support you, sidon. but that doesn’t mean i have to sit back and agree with everything you say or do. “⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ her arms fell back to her sides as she simply stared at him … “ that would be because everyone else isn’t talking about throwing people around. “⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ … this hug was suddenly turning into a not-so-pleasant one for him. “ no. no, you cannot. and will not. if i find you ended up throwing one of them either way, you’ll have a lot more to answer for. “⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ she was taking a tiny break right now … or that was the plan anyway. her “nap” had turned into full intent to stay asleep until she was properly rested, whenever that would be. ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ and she wasn’t looking comfortable either …⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ getting reminded of her tasks was like flipping a switch, as she suddenly became aware of how much time had passed. “ ah, yes! i said i would only be a moment and now look what i’ve done … “⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ she was getting ready to leave already. ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀
the prince laughed nervously. ❝ . . . yeah, yeah. of course. there won't be a next time. right. learnt my lesson. haha— ❞ he looked away from the other.
❝ you should go back to work now. they must be wondering where you went.❞
⠀
⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ “ there’s no need for that. because there won’t be a next time, will there? you’ve learned your lesson, surely? “ maybe not learned, but instead scared away … ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ “ but … i would push you off a waterfall if something happened. “⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀
❝ no! this does not work like that. next time, ah... next time you can just punch me. or maybe push me off a waterfall. . . ? whatever makes you feel better. ❞ he was trying his best, i promise.
⠀
⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ she also let out a sigh, one she hadn’t realised she had been holding back. “ it’s alright. i’d rather have all that directed at me than at someone else. they might not know how to react. “⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ huh. she was quite calm again. ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀
❝ . . . actually, i am the one who should apologize. you were right, i acted like a fool. ❞ he scratched the back of his neck, sighing. ❝ sorry, yona. i understand you were just worried about me. i did not mean to be so rude. ❞
⠀
⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ “ good. and it better be sincere as well. i will be asking. “ she wouldn’t actually. but he didn’t need to know that, she would just give off the impression she was serious. ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ “ … i’m sorry. i didn’t mean to get so stern with you. “⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀
he looked at said finger, feeling his own body tensing up once again. damn it. ❝ . . . alright, alright. no growling, no fighting. i will just go and apologize. ❞ he did not look too happy with that. however, it seemed that he would really do it.
⠀
⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ she didn’t like that growl either, because now she was pointing a finger up at him. “ don’t you growl at me. i’m helping you not make yourself looking like a bigger fool. don’t make me drag you there as well. “⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ yeah. don’t test her. ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀
❝ . . . but, that's not— ❞ he was about to say something, but he inmediately dropped it. ❝ fine. whatever.❞ he mumbled after a soft growl escaped from his lips.
