It's been a while.
Okay, so it's been way more than a while, but the narration would go so far as to err on the side of diplomacy lest it be included in the general air of 'royal lazyasses' that seems to follow its charges around on a near-constant basis. It is not lazy - it is abused and mistreated.
"- should have seen your face when it started moving!"
"It was a tree. Trees don't move - there are roots involved - it's rather the point, Yvaine."
"So you talked to one, but they cannot move?"
"Yes, but that's an entirely -"
You see what it has to live with on a daily basis?
The couple that appears along with the bickering looks rather like they've been walking a great deal - vaguely dusty, slightly threadbare, and sun-darkened (well, one of them, at least) - but altogether rather pleased, if a little footsore.
"Oh," the star remarks, blinking once at the sudden change of scenery and grinning widely. "Civilization!"
Company would be welcomed. (As would dinner, more likely than not, but first thing's first.)
(OOC:Two for the price of one! It's sort of a discount ... only not at all. AND NOW - for bedtime!)

It isn't like she's particularly interested in the rest of it.
"The seasons have, I'm sure, if nothing else."
Especially given their length of absence. She definitely missed the snow and everything.
"Which is unfortunate," she adds, off of the train of thought. "Because I did enjoy the parts of winter that you weren't ill for, dear."
no subject
"It was fun, wasn't it?" he says with a grin as he recalls the memory. "Though that whole time was a bit confusing for me."
What with the whole Victoria thing.
no subject
Dryly, though the slight shift closer takes most of the sting out of it, "Because it was a joy for me as well."
no subject
"Perhaps we'll be around the next time winter comes to this place," he says, innocently ignoring Yvaine's dry tone of voice.
no subject
She arcs an eyebrow.
"Planning on going anywhere I should know about, Prince Charming?"
no subject
no subject
They can totally overcome the cosmos - all part of a day's work!
"Even if it is just for sleeping - because, really, there is only so much wilderness-survival I can take."
no subject
He nods, letting out an easy laugh. "You feel the same too, then? I was beginning to think you were enjoying the rocks and sticks underneath us when we slept on the ground."
There might be sarcasm in that. Maybe.
no subject
"It does add a certain -" she wrinkles her nose, fanning a hand dismissively.
Yeah, not even bothering with that one.
"No, dear. Resoundingly so," a wide grin. "And I will not hesitate to make you carry the mattress from upstairs out the door with us should it come to it."
no subject
He pauses.
"Plus, we don't want to be accused of thievery."
no subject
The grin flickers up a bit, eyes bright.
"And it isn't thievery if we pay for it."
no subject
"You are joking, right? I mean - the mattress. It's - it'd be difficult to carry it with us at all times."
Poor Tristran. The narration takes pity on his innocence. (And chuckles a bit, too.)
no subject
Solemnly, "I could be persuaded to help you on occasion."
no subject
"We cannot possibly -"
no subject
The star, on the other hand, lets out a laugh that would - in less polite societies - be considered a cackle. A little breathless for one, perhaps, and a little too bright, but a cackle nonetheless.
"You -" she gasps. "You are ridiculous."
no subject
And then it dawns on him.
(There is hope for him yet. He'll learn quicker, honest.)
"You know, that isn't funny." Beat. "At all."
no subject
And it is.
It really, really is.
She giggles, "It would have been even better if I had gotten you to do it."
no subject
He shakes his head.
"I will never believe you again."
no subject
She tilts her head against his shoulder, blinking upward with her most charming smile.
"What if I said that I loved you?"
no subject
"You," he says, turning to her with a very grave expression on his face, "are a cheater."
no subject
Look at that face!
"You do not believe me?"
no subject
But, no! We must keep our resolve.
Honest.
It is -
He won't -
"... n-no."
no subject
She crosses her arms, turning her chin and tilting it up.
"Fine then - see if I want to share my pie with someone who doesn't believe me when I tell him that I love him."
no subject
no subject
A quick glance backward, over her shoulder.
"And I have before, if you recall. You gave it to me."
