The ride, back to the palace was mostly silent, after a short but strong protest from Kiera it was eventually, settled that the girls
would live there for the time being. Though Kiera seemed less than pleased which puzzled and even hurt Rapunzel a bit, after all,
the girls had stayed at the palace before not to long ago, so why was Kiera so hesitant now? After a short ride, they eventually
arrived back, where Rapunzel immedately asked the chef to whip up the girls favorite much to the delight of Catalina who was
elated at the thought of chocolate on chocolate chip pancakes and while Kiera smirked a little at her sister's cuteness other than
that her body seemed to go stiff. As the pancakes were brought out Catalina practically tore into her portion looking to quell her
hunger as well as her sweet tooth, and while Kiera was grateful, more than grateful for her sister's sake she couldn't bring herself to
eat any. Eventually Rapunzel just asked that her pancakes be saved for later. "I'm a little tired do you mind if I go to bed?", the girl
asked softly. "Of course, the princess replied understandingly, Eugene and I will be right here if you need anything" With her sister
out of earshot Rapunzel was tempted to ask Catalina if she knew what was wrong but decided against it trusting Kiera to come to
them when she was ready, she just hoped they'd be ready when that time came.
