he had promised Rapunzel that he wouldn’t go with her on all of her adventures . he would let Cassandra have her days or just days for Rapunzel on her own . as long as Maximus was with her . footsteps are light among the halls as he tries not to bring attention to himself towards the dungeon .
meetings were held on what to do with Varian , and Eugene went to each and every one of them trying to turn down any idea of them punishing him in a cruel way or sending him off . as much as he knows Rapunzel is hurting from that battle , and from what he did to her , he is well aware that this was not how she would want it handled .
and so each time he offered to speak to the boy , to COUNCIL him . each time the idea was turned down , yet he would sneak into the dungeon undetected to try and speak to him . he kept coming even though he was only responded with silence .
it isn’t the day the King starts to understand his side of this that he agrees to allow Eugene to try whatever he wished , but if it didn’t work they would have no other choice . the captain wasn’t thrilled with the idea , but Eugene swore it was fine . the door to the cells are open once again as he steps through and turns to the guards to dismiss them , for now at least . keys are twirled with his finger as he leans against the cell .
❝ you ready to talk yet ? ❞
