"You look at her and you finally start to live for someone else…"
He was being stupid.
He was in the capitol city, within spitting distance of the very palace he had recently robbed, and literally surrounded by royal guards who would like nothing more than to string him up by his toenails, or feed him to ravenous wolves, or throw him in a deep hole somewhere and let him rot… or possibly a combination of all three.
And he was having a good time.
He was dancing, eating cupcakes, reading books, watching sidewalk artists… and loving every minute of it.
It was all her fault.
The way she beckoned to him in the crowd, to come and join her in the moving throng of spinning, twirling people… Her huge eyes looking up at him with so much gratitude over one stupid birthday cupcake… The excitement in her eyes when she realized that all of the maps in that huge book were showing real places… Her talent and love of drawing and creating beautiful images with what seemed to be no effort at all…
The innocent expression on her face, the honest joy in her laugh, the way her smile made it look like you just lit up her whole freakin' world…
And since when did he care about making someone happy?
But then he saw her, and she threw her head back and laughed, her bright eyes sparkling in a way that no diamond ever could…
Yes, he was being stupid.
But so what?
A/N: My favorite little sequence in the movie… I'd like to see the whole day, frankly.
