Dreaming the Second

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.]

[It was the night before the wedding and Aurora's nerves were on the edge. Rapunzel assured her that everything would be perfect and ready tomorrow. But Aurora still couldn't sleep very deeply. When she heard Maleficent's voice over the Dreamberry she shot up in a panic and then saw...

Phillip's dream. She wondered if she should go to him. She didn't even know that he had to face such a harrowing task to reach her! Oh her brave love! But... it was the night before the wedding... A video then... and if he wanted to see her, well, he was only downstairs...]

Phillip?

Mmn?

[His smile grew, as he blinked gummy eyelids open a few times; he's not very far awake yet.]

'Rora?

Is... everything alright?

Eh? Why shouldn't it- [OHHH, the dream.

Whoops!] Things were wrong, very wrong not all that long ago. But now?

[Have a reassuring ~~shirtless chest~~ smile.] The only way it could be righter is if it were later today.

Oh Phillip, it's going to be wonderful! I simply can't wait. [It's why she had trouble sleeping.]

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...]

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

Edited 2011-12-05 05:00 (UTC)

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.

Hmm?

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

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

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.

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.]

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

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.]

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

[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.]

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

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

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

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

[Teasing, TEASING!]

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

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

Are you worried, my darling?

Let's say eager, shall we?

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

And how reassuring that is, my love...

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