Dreaming the Second

[philip_charming]

Warnings: VIOLENCE and DISNEY under the cut!
Dream Effects: Determination and nigh-crippling fear, with shadings of righteous fury; rising desperation follows, before being replaced by overwhelming relief and weary tenderness

[Philip's sleep-thrashing stilled at the end, gradually easing into wakefulness with a tired smile on his face; those bedcovers really would never be the same.]

Well, I suppose if you really wanted we could sneak off before the rush and hunt down someone to marry us right away... [He is so totally grinning at you right now!]

I don't think I mentioned that Rapunzel has the door to my room guarded by Pascal and my woodland friends. So you're welcome to try but I think Pascal can stop stop you.

Oh, is that a challenge? [He thought he'd just shown how good he was against lizards, but if she wanted to see it in action...]

[Video]

[cursedtosleep.livejournal.com]

Valiant and noble and brave you may be... but Rapunzel has a frying pan.

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

Maybe- but Pascal doesn't.

[And Philip's got a shield ANYWAY]

[She giggles, honestly, she needed this. It was helping calm her nerves.]

I wouldn't be surprised.

What, you think he has a tiny little frying pan of his own, with which to threaten my toes?

I'd best remember to wear shoes, then. [He's fighting back snickers at this point; he didn't really need this at all, but it's so much fun seeing the expressions on Aurora's face!]

[She's in a near fit of giggles at the image of such a thing.]

Hmm, no, but you are an honorable man who couldn't hurt the little dear. I know that much.

[Just think how practical he would find it! Late-night snacks, stunning unusually large prey, doing Epic Battle with Flynn for who gets to sleep next to Rapunzel...]

True, true. I'd have to try getting creative to lure him away.

[Or, y'know, just barge on through REALLY FAST.]

Well, I don't think he'll mind so much once we're wed. Actually, that's something I wanted to discuss with you. Now I suppose is as good as any time.

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

Hmm?

[This sounded important; maybe he should put a shirt on.]

What is it, darling? [Is this about the owl?]

[Video]

[cursedtosleep.livejournal.com]

Do you... well, there is a master bedroom to the cottage, I spoke with Rapunzel about this and I was wondering if you wished to move into it with me once we're wed.

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

I'd noticed that before; it seemed a little presumptuous to take the main bedroom all on my own, but...

Well, under the circumstances, don't you think it's appropriate? [PHILIP certainly does! He's had Thoughts about that big bed, you can be sure.]

[Video]

[cursedtosleep.livejournal.com]

I do, only after the wedding, of course. We'll have to decorate it.

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

Well, I wasn't about to suggest we do it now... But yes, I expect some decoration would be required.

Hmm, what of the floors? [He'd been thinking hardwood with some nice woolen red-and-white rugs, and a big purple eiderdown on the bed... and if he had his druthers, red satin sheets.

Enough touches to show it was a man's place too, right? He's not much of a hand with curtains or anything.]

[Video]

[cursedtosleep.livejournal.com]

Hmm? What about them, it's hardwood like the rest of the cottage.

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

[SO much better than flagstones, you would NOT believe] In which case, I think I've an idea or two. Still, it will be needing a 'woman's touch' to make it look proper and homely...

[Should he ask Rapunzel for help on that, maybe? He's kind of low on options here.]

[Video]

[cursedtosleep.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm able to lend plenty of a woman's touch. [She teased.]

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't doubt that for a moment. [This seems like the perfect spot for a Saucy Wink.]

[Video]

[cursedtosleep.livejournal.com]

Well, then perhaps the first thing in order is changing the bedsheets.

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

Really? And here I'd been thinking the first thing was to get married.

[Teasing, TEASING!]

[Video]

[cursedtosleep.livejournal.com]

All you have to do is remember to show up tomorrow, darling.

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

I trust you'll remember to do the same, my love?

[Video]

[cursedtosleep.livejournal.com]

Are you worried, my darling?

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

Let's say eager, shall we?

[Video]

[cursedtosleep.livejournal.com]

Well... that makes two of us...

[Video]

[philip-charming.livejournal.com]

And how reassuring that is, my love...

[Video]

[cursedtosleep.livejournal.com]

I think it's best we go to bed now, my love. We both have a very big day tomorrow.
