TIANA: DANCE. SENDER STICKS A HAND OUT TO RECEIVER AND INVITES THEM TO DANCE. everything had worked out, and naveen was grateful for it. actually grateful - appreciative, and not taking any of his new life for granted. the journey had been a hard one, dangerous and long, but he had gotten through it, with the help of tiana, and he'd come out the other side as a better man. the restaurant was thriving, his wife was happy, and that meant that naveen was happy, too. he's humming as he watches the last of the customers leaving, rolling up his sleeves, getting ready to help clean when a hand is held out to him. grin immediately touches his features as he glances at tiana, setting down the stack of plates he'd just picked up in favor or taking her hand and bringing her close. 'the band will soon go home, and we will have no music to dance to,' naveen's features are soft as he gazes down at tiana, swaying back and forth in time with the quiet jazz music. 'though dancing with you is not requiring music. i would dance with you anywhere,' @vyrulent.

'ashidanza!' he's just run straight into someone while trying to get away from his advisor. how clumsy of him! to be fair, she was much shorter than him, and naveen had a tendency not to watch where he was going ( most people simply moved out of the way when they saw him coming ). 'apologies! i did not see you in the crowd of everyone else walking around us,' naveen offers a hand as he glances over his shoulder. lawrence hasn't caught up to him yet. not with those short legs. naveen grins down at the woman. 'you are quite small. i say this not to offend, but to simply make you aware,' he beams. 'you are alright, yes?' @amoresis.

             knife works against the onion, man standing in front of the coutner and its cutting board, swiping at his eyes with his wrist.  ‘ i do not know how you do this every day, my love, ’  blinking away the tears, naveen gives a grin across the kitchen to tiana. normally he would be doing the work in the dining room - supervising the wait staff, making sure every napkin and knife was in place. but they got an early start today, and naveen missed cooking with her ; even if the prince was just doing the prep.  ‘ you are stronger than i am, this much is true. i am surprised i have not cut a finger, ’     @lovereflected.

@prinxefroggy​ location: coulter beach

She honestly hadn’t expected to run into Naveen here of all places. Considering how her life was going, she had thought about ringing him up. He was always so good to her and she always had a fun time with him, but she still wasn’t sure how ready she was. Despite her boldness over the last few days, she still had those lingering moments of insecurity, which was why she was out at the beach in the first place. She was letting her skin soak up the sun, showing off the toned nature of her body in a little string bikini she had gotten for a special occasion. No need for that anymore. She had to remind herself that she was hot and she just needed to let herself be that way.

Still, despite that, she was hoping to be left to her own thoughts as she enjoyed the fresh air. Still, Naveen was not the worst person she could have been checking out by far. When his eyes met hers, she waved him over, smiling at him. “What brings you out here? Trying to hold onto summer as long as you can like I am?”

" what are you doing out here by yourself? " -Naveen

Fifi almost jumped at the sound of Naveen’s voice, but she stopped herself just in time. She had been drinking for a bit, dancing a little bit, but she needed some air. She had so much on her mind; scratch that, she had Blaise on her mind. It was crazy how she went from doing the most to not think about him to only thinking about him. She felt like a child with a schoolgirl crush all over again. It was maddening. She didn’t even know what she was doing anymore. And it was ironic enough that Naveen was the one who snapped her out of her trance. He was....great company when talking wasn’t involved. She wasn’t in the mood to actually have a little rendezvous but maybe she could try talking to him more. It couldn’t hurt at least. “I was just taking some time by myself,” she said, turning to face him. “I figured since you were here I didn’t need to be the life of the party.” @prinxefroggy

“ i’m about to do something terrible. “ (naveen)

Rapunzel wasn’t sure if that was something to take seriously or not. A warning or a joke? It was hard for her to tell them apart sometimes. And when it came to Naveen....she really didn’t know. Setting her journal aside, she looks at him properly. “And what could you do that is so terrible?” she said lightheartedly, a smile on her face. “Do you wanna talk it out first? I’m sure we can come up with a solution that makes you feel like whatever you end up doing isn’t terrible. We can do this together!” @naveenmaldonia
