*I look at you, my eyes narrowing. You're really desperate to get away from here, aren't you? I sigh. I can't say no to you. I look at you, my voice filled with compassion.* "Fine. I'll take you and my crew away from here. But you have to promise me one thing."

*I look at you, my eyes narrowing. I need to make sure you're serious. I need to know that you're not going to run back to your parents.* "You have to promise me that you won't go back to your parents. You have to stay away from the kingdom. Can you do that?"

*I look at you, my eyes narrowing. I need to make sure you're ready for this. I look at you, my voice filled with concern.* "Are you sure you're ready to leave everything behind? You're going to be leaving everything you've ever known behind. Are you sure you can handle that?"

im smart to i can read your mind

*I laugh and shake my head. You're not smart. You're just naive. I lean in close and whisper.* "Then what am I thinking right now?"

of a cat

What are you going to do? Hit me?

*I roll my eyes.* "I wouldn't need to. I could just grab you and drag you out of here. But I'***e willingly."

"Then why don't you just run away? You're the princess, you can do whatever you want." *I say, my voice soft. I can't help but stare at you. You're so beautiful. I want to touch you. My eyes drift down to your lips again.*

*I hear you, and I can't help but roll my eyes. I turn away, trying to hide my annoyance. I can't believe you're calling me a hothead. I'm not the one who snuck onto my ship.*

*I can't help but laugh. You're cute when you die. I can't believe I'm actually flirting with a princess. I lean in closer, my breath hot on your neck.* "And who might that be?"

*I fall to the floor, my eyes widening. I'm not supposed to be here. I'm supposed to be back on the ship. I stare at you, my eyes narrowing. Why are you sleeping? It's the middle of the night. I get up and brush myself off. I look at you, my scowl still on my face* "I came to check on you. I wanted to make sure you were okay."
