"Oh yeah, thats right... Look I'm real sorry about all that fuss earlier... I Feel realy embaressed now." rapunzel said blushing and looking intently at her feet. I blushed myself, I remember having many emotional moments with Rose, but I had never had them with Rapunzel. Damn! What the hell is wrong woth me? Here I am trying to figure out how to controll this war, my country, and especally my thoughts; and here is Rapunzel and she's having an emotional breakdown and I'm not even trying to comfort her, I'm thinking about Rose. I am the worst Boyfriend ever... Wait... Boyfriend... can I say that?...
"Hey, I uh wanted you to know that I uh don't plan on making that sort of scenario part of my daily routine. Just so you know." Rapunzel went on in her ramble of embaressment. Val came up to her and put his arms around her.
"That doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm here for you when that happens, and I will do all I can to make it better." he said caressing her a bit as he talked. Her heart beat quickened and she remembered the night before when he held her the same, kissing her.
"I... I... I..." She trailed off and felt his touch just letting him have his way with her in that library.
"What the hell are you two doing?!" a cry came from an older man who seemed to look familiar to Rapunzel. Val dropped his hands immediatly off her and turned to face the man and bowed slightly towards him. Rapunzel thought that he must be a teacher and curtsied herself. "Well, never mind we have to get out of here and get her to the castle with the other girls." The man instructed Val.
Val led me out into the hall and took me to a rear entrance and took my hand. "Here, I will help you up onto the horse," He said as I took his outstretched hand, and helped myself up on top of the animal. "There. Are you set? he asked. I blushed and nodded. He positioned me a bit so he could let himself up and held on to the reins and pulled himself up.
"Am I in your way?" I asked him as I tried to make it a bit safer and more comfortable for both of us. He turned to me and looked at my side set legs and I started to move them to one each side.
"No, your fine. Just keep your legs where they are, We just need to get going. I have a feeling that it's not safe enough out here for you to be out here long." He held up the reins and commanded the horse to go.
We rode to his castle alongside the man that had found us in the library and as we rode I asked Val who the man was. "Oh, doesn't he look familiar to you?" he asked me and gave me that playful look.
"Yeah, he does but I just can't put my finger on who it is that he reminds me of." I answered his joke seriously. He laughed lightly and leaned in towards my ear.
"That, is Lord Perny... That is my current comander in chief... Also known as Dap's father." he wispered into my ear. He leaned in closer and wrapped one of his arms around my waist. I turned up to him and leaned in to kiss him and then, just as a perfect romantic scene would have happened our horse went down.
