checking out games for beast, maybe.

Who would want me around when I'm like this? I — I don't understand how you expect me to show my face!

[ Oh, of course she's married. Why wouldn't she be? ]

You must be very happy together.

[cursedtosleep]

[Hey now, you get your own true love Beast, don't try to take Philip's.]

Oh yes! He's showing me all around our kingdoms.

[delaisse]

[ Welp, kind of waiting to meet Belle. ]

You have two?

[cursedtosleep]

Well, it should be one soon, I think. He is the prince of his and then there is my own kingdom. I'm afraid I don't know much of politics, however.

[delaisse]

You'll have to sign an official merger.

[ Just yer random ol' beast ... who knows about politics and royal affairs, yep. ]

[cursedtosleep]

An official merger? [Yeah no, peasant-woodland-raised princess has no clue what that is.]

[delaisse]

It means that when your parents die, you'll both be responsible for the lineage of either royal dominion. If you don't have a child, the lands will be forfeit and severed again in the event of your death.

[ CHEERY, AIN'T HE. ]

[cursedtosleep]

[Well, that's slightly terrifying as she only JUST reunited with her parents a day or-so ago.]

[delaisse]

[ WELL. SHE. Wow, he was just reeling off rote laws. ]

I'm sure you'll do fine, though.

[cursedtosleep]

Oh, thank you, Beast. I hope I serve my kingdom well.

[delaisse]

I didn't catch your name.

[cursedtosleep]

I am Princess Aurora.

[delaisse]

[ Prince Adam.

Have a somewhat formal bow, it's been a while since he bothered practicing. ]

— Princess.

[cursedtosleep]

Please just call me Aurora.

[delaisse]

Like the dawn?

[cursedtosleep]

Mmhmm! Though my fairy godmothers still call me Rose sometimes.

[delaisse]

[ Puh, fairies. Enchantresses. All cut from the same cloth! ]

Why?

[cursedtosleep]

Because that was the name they gave me while I was being kept safe. I was their Briar Rose.
