Giselle walked hurriedly onto the stage. Perfect timing too. What was it in having three redheads in a row?
We'll go the extra mile
Just to pull out your smile
"You're already doing that," the Colombian man said, smiling to prove his point. "Just that I get to spend time with my family and get treated with such wondrous kindness from all of you."
We know that it's been absent for a while
"But I promise that it's here to stay," he promised. Then he widened his eyes, scanning for a piece of wood. Regulus conjured up a thick, wooden board that Bruno rushed to do his ritual. "Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock on wood…" Regulus watched bemusedly.
"Better?" he asked with a bit of a laugh. Bruno smiled.
And we would love for you to join our monthly familial puppy pile
Bruno laughed. He already participated in puppy piles nearly every week, thanks to his family. Also, the look on Regulus' at the mention of puppy piles was pretty hilarious: absolute horror.
Regulus had been thoroughly physically, emotionally, and mentally abused, and therefore touch was nearly out of the question. The kiss had been a good experience.
"Once you feel comfortable around the people closest to you, and they form a puppy pile around you, it feels really soft and warm," Bruno commented softly. "I fall asleep pretty quickly."
"That's nice," Regulus responded.
It's okay if it's not your style
Regulus nodded gratefully. Puppy piles sounded pretty suffocating. Bruno wouldn't mind partaking in one after this song was over. Giselle finished her portion of the song, adding a Birds of Paradise flower to both collections, and plopping next to the previous princess.
