“of course someone had to take the good bathroom all to themselves, huh?” nick rapped his knuckles on the door. he’d spilled soup on his coat and was holding it out in a bid to keep it from further danger.

as he looked down, he saw the smoke seeping out from the under the door. “oh, no, no, i get it — it’s the ashtray convention in there, isn’t it? jeeesus christ,” he rolled his eyes. he scoffed, looking to the person next to him. “can you believe this idiot?”

dawnsrose

❛ CALM DOWN , NICK . you'll make them want to stay in there longer , just to upset you . ❜ not that his frustration wasn't valid , but aurora knew there was only so much her friend would get from lashing out . people responded better to kindness , that much she knew for sure .

brows furrow together at the smell of smoke , her violet eyes quickly catching sight of it seeping out from the bathroom . ❛ ... just as i thought , they're probably upset . hopefully it's only cigarette smoke . ❜ she gently rapped her knuckles on the door . ❛ hello , are you okay ?! ❜ aurora called to no avail , then turned to nick again . ❛ should we get help ? ❜

🗡️ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ─────────── the giggle that escape aurora caused a look of pure fondness to fall onto the princes’ features. it was the little things. like a laugh, or the way his wife tucked her hair behind her eyes or the way those violet hues shimmered when looking at him did philip remember how grateful he was to be alive. not only that but to be alive with aurora. those small things were taken for granted before but now were cherished. “ your secret is safe with me. i wouldn’t dare tell a soul how horrid heels are to wear. would you like me to hold them for you ? ” he asked and happily followed. “ i would never come for your brand, my love. no one will ever love the flowers as much as you do. hence why i brought you out here. i know you’d find comfort among them given you’re a flower yourself. ” the prince stilled and pulled his wife to him to place a quick kiss to her lips. “ you bring much to the table, aurora. your special interest in flowers is not the only thing, you know that right ? ”

❛ OH NO NO , THAT'S NOT NECESSARY ! they're not heavy , i'll be just fine . thank you dear . ❜ aurora pressed a quick kiss to his cheek , then promptly used her thumb to rub away the tiny bit of lipstick that transferred . while she didn't care much for shoes , there was no reason to bother philip with her silly case . once they had reached the garden , aurora slipped off her heels and grabbed them by the collar . she only hoped the hem of her dress wouldn't get dirty , but that was a problem for later . ❛ oh ? it's been a while since i've been compared to a flower , you're making me feel nostalgic , ❜ she giggled . nodding her head when philip reassured her , aurora let out a deep breath . ❛ i know , of course i do . you don't have to worry about that . ❜ with a tiny smile , she reached out to gently fix a lock of his hair . ❛ how are you feeling ? it's a big night for you ... ❜

🗡️ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ─────────── having his first event being a ball was probably not the best idea. however, philip was desperate for normality. keep pushing, keep smiling, keeping moving forward. the pillars of what made a royal move. he couldn’t afford to let anything about him falter after everything that happened. philip was determined to make the night special for aurora. it was their first outing together in a long time. the circumstances seemed brighter so philip was going to make sure everything went well tonight. “ how would you feel about sneaking off to the gardens ? i’ve seen many people head there. I hear the arrangements are lovely. ” philip needed a breather he just didn’t know how to say it.

dawnsrose

THE FACT THAT PHILIP thought to ask how she felt about sneaking to the gardens made aurora giggle , because there was only one possible answer to that kind of an offer . not that she would ever reject sneaking off with him to anywhere , but any place that included flowers or any form of nature seemed good enough to her . besides , she could use a breather ; being surrounded by so much energy , so much life , was starting to wear her out . whether because it'd been too long since her last outing or due to the missing part of her soul , she wasn't sure yet . she only hoped it wasn't too noticeable , especially to him . ❛ i think that is a wonderful idea , dear . don't tell anyone , but i'd forgotten how much i dislike wearing heels . ❜ with a giggle , aurora gently tugged on philip's arm , leading the two of them towards entrance . ❛ if you keep growing an interest in flowers , i might have to find a new special interest . what's that thing people say ... ah ! right , you're coming for my brand . what am i supposed to bring to the table then ? ❜

❛ I GOT YOU SOMETHING and you can't say no~ ❜ aurora announced in a sing - song voice , skipping her way in after closing the front door . although her new job at the flower shop was exciting and an excellent distraction , it was also very tiring , even more so considering how fatigued she felt most of the time . while the princess knew it must have to do with losing part of her light , she also knew there were more important things than letting such a little hiccup show : philip , for example. he was the most important thing . ❛ for you , ❜ she brings forward the bouquet of tulips she'd been hiding behind her back , a bright smile on rosy lips . ❛ i thought i should be the one giving you flowers for a change ... ❜

belle looked up from the poetry book she was annotating, one she’d already pored through a dozen times, but this time she wanted to decorate her battered copy. in the middle of drawing a sunrise on the page of ‘the sun rising’ by john donne, she looked up at aurora with a curious expression. “ the orchid … how did they choose this year to be the orchid’s year ? ” the mention of children stopped belle in her tracks, mid-scribble. “ um … that sounds vaguely concerning, but yes. now i must know how you’re going to word that message, ” belle teased. “ dear friends … i must warn you about … children. ”

❛ THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION , actually ... i'm not sure how they do it , but it's still nice . it might help people choose what flower to decorate their home with ! ❜ and aurora was a firm believer that one could never have too many flowers around them ; after all , who would want to be surrounded by so much beauty and life ? she found them to be necessary , especially now that part of her light was gone . ❛ as hilarious as that would be , i don't want to give people the idea that children are dangerous , especially with so many little ones around . ❜ a tiny smile graces her lips , ❛ what were you like as a kid , belle ? i bet you were always reading big , heavy books and asking all these questions that nobody had the answers to ! ❜

adam had made it a habit to wander out of the dark walls of the castle. small initiations to get out of the shell that he had constructed. at least that was the sole purpose. to feel closer to the mortal side; to nourish the human and further himself away from the beast within.

yeah right.

belle would be proud of the little efforts. he had found comfort in the gardens, they were quite, leaving him to his thoughts and ideas. he was strolling through rolls of rose, when he turned in the direction of a question

“does it no depend on the color of the orchid?”

as he spoke, adam ran his fingertips over the petals of an orange orchid. “i certainly hope that your peers are capable of making their own decisions; you don’t need to monitor them.”

❛ NOT NECESSARILY , though i suppose there's no real issue in going with the color of the year for good measure . which , i might as well tell you , is magenta . ❜ the very kind of magenta she supposed flora would liked . aurora could only hope the fairy would've been made aware of such news by now , much to dear merryweather's displeasure .

a tiny chuckle followed as she heard the man's words , which she took as well wishes . ❛ thank you , but i don't see it as monitoring them . i'm more than happy to look out for those i care about , ❜ and aurora figured most people could share the sentiment . ❛ surely you would do the same for your loved ones , no ? ❜

head tilts curiously as her violet gaze catches sight of him touching the orchids , ❛ pardon my curiosity , is orange your favorite color ? ❜

☀️ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ─────────── “ i didn’t ! ” reagan told her friend as she gazed upon the flowers. if there was on place the princess loved in elias it was the botanical gardens. reagan felt a special connections to flowers mostly due to the fact the sundrop had saved her mother and her - essentially giving reagan her powers. she nodded along as aurora spoke of the properties of the flower. at the mention of many, many children reagan did step away a bit from the flower. “ i feel a warning is needed. juuuuust in case. ”

❛ DO YOU THINK it'a a good enough reason to bring everyone together for tea and snacks ? as if we even need a reason for that sort of thing , ❜ aurora rolled her eyes at herself , although truthfully she couldn't help but look for any reason for a distraction these days . it was as though she was waiting for something dreadful , yet unavoidable . she knew she was . seeing reagan step away from the orchid made aurora break into laughter , the sort that made her cheeks hurt . ❛ you can still stand close to it , reagan ! it's not going to magically give dear ben a sibling , i promise . speaking of which , how is he doing ? ❜ lips curl into a tired yet excited smile , ❛ i feel i've missed so much , you have to bring him to our next tea party ! or just bring him over any time you want . you can bring flynn too , if you'd like , ❜ winking at the other girl , aurora started to walk towards the next couple of flowers . ❛ he came over to visit a while back , it was very sweet ! brought some flowers too , which i'm sure a certain someone helped him pick . ❜ because while aurora knew flynn was a great guy , he definitely didn't look the type who understood the language of flowers .

“ i think he’d like the idea, ” kit encouraged. “ the more the merrier. and … and perhaps a change of scenery too. if you and philip wanted to … to get away for a while, or stay someplace else other than your home now, i would support you. i’d send you off if i could, ” he joked. but he knew if aurora and philip let him, he would do it in a heartbeat. get them far away from this place, as far as possible. though she was the ‘newest’ charmont, kit felt just as protective over aurora as he did his brothers. “ … ah, well, it’s a humble little full name : christopher reginald lancelot charmont, ” he chuckled, shaking his head at it.

“ and i will keep you to your word, i’m sure aunt flora and i will have a lot of things in common. ” kit opened his mouth as if to say more, to keep the light conversation going, but now that the topic had been opened, he couldn’t stray from it. he set the jug of lemonade down and sat on the couch next to aurora, looking quite serious now. his expression only cracked when antoinette meowed at him from aurora’s lap; kit couldn’t help but smile.

“ as someone who values looking to the future, aurora, i would usually be inclined to agree. but knowing the person you had made this exchange with, it seems unwise to assume that what maleficent could have asked for is something immaterial or insignificant … no matter how willing you were to part with it. forgive me, ” he added in a quiet voice, bowing his head a little out of instinct. “ so i cannot treat this as small change. you matter too much, ” he said more firmly. “ i want nothing more than for you and philip to live peacefully, but … will maleficent’s request put that peace in jeopardy ? ” the prince furrowed his eyebrows, looking straight into aurora’s eyes. “ what did she ask of you ? ”

DESPITE KNOWING KIT WAS ONLY trying to humor her , aurora was well aware that a part of him still meant what he said . that he would willingly help her and philip find a little place of their own away from this town , and a way to keep them safe . it wasn't necessary , not after her deal with maleficent , but it was deeply appreciated . ❛ you're the best of us , kit . i mean it . but he and i will be okay , he just needs time ... oh wow , that is quite a mouthful ! ❜ aurora giggled , not having meant to come across as rude but , it was true . ❛ i see my dear in laws had a lot of fun naming all three of you ! it's sweet . ❜

the sound of the kitten's gentle meow brought a feeling of reassurance to aurora , as if telling her that everything would be okay . maybe kit would be disappointed at first , perhaps even angry , but things would eventually sort themselves out . they always did . it wasn't until his last couple of words that the princess froze in place , save for antoinette who still rested comfortably on aurora's lap . would maleficent's request put that peace in jeopardy ? no , it couldn't . it simply couldn't .

after a seemingly endless moment of silent , she spoke again . ❛ she wanted my light , ❜ aurora confessed , her voice smaller than before . ❛ not all of , just a little . i'm not sure what it means but it seemed like a fair trade . some few years of my life in exchange for him . ❜ whatever confidence she held in her eyes faltered the more she kept her focus on kit , ❛ please don't tell him , i- ... i had no choice ! but i'm fine , it's not half as bad as it might sound , ❜ yet anyone who took a good look at aurora would be able to tell that something wasn't right . ❛ you can't tell him what i did , you can't tell anyone but especially philip . at least not yet ! ❜

⊱ ♡ ⊰ location: ballet studio

❛ aurora! ❜ marie ran into her open arms, joy and sadness a bittersweet cocktail as she embraced her good friend tightly. their time apart had only been magnified after receiving a call from another ballet mate about aurora’s disappearance in their ballet classes for a while. she hadn’t been able to tell marie much, for she had called just to see if aurora was alright but she had mentioned phillip and marie knew there was only one thing that could keep aurora away from dancing. her forever dance partner.

❛ please, please don’t replace me. i’ve missed you so much. ❜ she pleaded, burying the side of her face against aurora further. ❛ i’m back in elias for a while now and i’ll be coming to class and we’ll be having lunch very, very often. like every class! ❜ pulling away reluctantly marie took stock of her friend. she seemed pale. a little less colorful than marie remembered. her heart clenched abruptly, forehead creasing as she silenced her inner voice. awareness of where they were and timing telling marie that her many questions would have to wait a little longer.

recovering quickly, marie pulled away from their embrace. ❛ i’m well! i was away filming, auditioning … same old, same old. i just wrapped up a movie and a guest spot that went a little longer than i anticipated, which is always a good thing but i definitely didn’t intend to be gone for so long. ❜ her lips contorted into a frown, nod accompanying her words. ❛ but enough about me. how are you? did you get the baskets of sweets and bread i sent along. you were in my thoughts constantly. i mean you’d think a trainer would be motivation enough but no one keeps me in sync the way you do in this class. ❜ she had tried to be subtle in her gesture. she had been unable to reach aurora after hearing from their mutual ballet mate. and never one for gossip herself, marie figured a helping hand disguised as a random large gift would do better than a phone call where she asked probing questions. marie knew it was best to be delicate in this situation.

dawnsrose

❛ — REPLACE YOU ?! no no , dear , i wouldn't dream of it ! nothing like that at all . ❜ the princess was quick to assure her friend , not only because marie deserved every little bit of kindness and absolutely no worries , but also because she couldn't bear to have yet another person worrying about her . questioning her well - being , her health . it was already enough to face kit and florian's reprehensive looks ; the last thing she needed was for her friends to do the very same thing .

giggling at the many , many promises marie bombards her with , aurora could only nod eagerly , actually excited about the prospect of spending more time with the other girl . very few things brought her any form of excitement these days . ❛ every class then , no if's or but's ! if you skip on a single lunch date with me , i'll have no choice but to find another partner or worse — we'll never have tea together again ! i'll be keeping all of those delicious macarons to myself , ❜ she threatens in her most pompous tone , which falters after just a few seconds . she could never do that to marie , or anyone really .

❛ a movie and a guest spot ? my , that's fantastic news ! will there be a theatrical release ? philip and i will be there for the first screening , i can promise you that . ❜ a faint blush comes to her cheeks , happy to just be able to mention philip in conversation again , to make plans for both of them . ❛ i've been ... things are better now that philip is awake . i couldn't ask for more , really . but yes , i did receive your wonderful basket ! oh , you have no idea how good it was , especially the madeleines ... i must say i've stopped baking much , and my cooking hasn't been doing much better either . ❜ which she confesses with slight embarrassment . ❛ do you think you could give me the pâtisserie's number or a way to contact them ? ❜
