A cute comic has made the mun miss all the Princess and the Frog characters.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh, I'm sorry there aren't many of them around anymore, but, um...

What does 'ship it like burning' mean?

[truffulacide]

Maybe it has to do with how mad she is. If you did that to my stuff, I'd be burned-up, too.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Hey! It's a very good use for frying pans!

[truffulacide]

What is? For all we know, it got like that from you trying to use it as a sled or a flyswatter.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

It's for handling intruders.

[truffulacide]

She doesn't look like an intruder to me. It actually looks like she was making you food.

[...wait.]

...Do MY pans look like that?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

...Aren't they our pans?

[impulsive]

I think it means that she wants you and Tiana on a burning ship together. Are you planning on going on a cruise?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

No, I'm not, and why would she want that?

[impulsive]

Well, why else would she want to "ship you like burning?" Unless she wants to send you on a ship that goes almost as fast as I do, I don't think it can mean anything else.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

How fast can you go?

[impulsive]

Faster than the speed of light!

[Oh. Oh wait...]

... But you can't tell anyone, okay?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

That's so cool!

But okay! I won't tell anyone.

[impulsive]

Cross your heart and hope to die?

[kingunmaker]

To ship something is to send it via boat, but 'like burning'... perhaps she means it to be akin to sending something somewhere on a burning ship- a venture doomed to fail.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

But why would she do that?

[kingunmaker]

Mayhap she is referring to how you and the other fair lady would never be able to get along, and inevitably come to blows. Thus mundanes being mundanes, dull and terrible creatures constantly seeking entertainment at the cost of our peace of mind, they would naturally want this to happen so that they could enjoy your suffering, Princess.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

My mun isn't usually that bad, th--

Princess?

[kingunmaker]

Ah, but where are my manners?

[And so, with a smile so sweet honey looks like salt and a bow so elegant you just know he practised it, introductions take place...]

I am Count Duphaston du Isapolis, taken from my town and people by this crude man. As a young man I was told to treat every lady I encountered as if she was a princess, and those words made an impression so large I still hold on to them to this very day. As such I may at times appear... overly formal, and I do apologize if I caused you any discomfort, my lady.

[offday]

[Strokes his goatee.] It looks like you burnt something, so it probably has something to do with that.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

It's a frying pan. I was probably using it on an intruder.

[offday]

You need to swing those things with caution.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I never apologized for that, did I?

[offday]

No, no you didn't.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I'm sorry I knocked you out with my frying pan.

Twice.

[offday]

I'm also sorry you knocked me out twice, too. I never knew a frying pan could be so deadly, swords have nothing on them.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I do know how to pick a weapon.

...Okay, it was just the first thing I got my hands on... But it worked out well!

[offday]

For you, maybe. I'm still seeing stars from that last blow. Though it did come in handy a few times, so I can't complain too much.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Right. Again, sorry.

Um, Eug-- Flynn, can I ask you something?

[offday]

Sure.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

What do you do when you think you're starting to really care about someone?

[offday]

[That's an interesting question, gives her a curious look.]

That depends on what you mean by 'starting to really care'. Do you mean like family or?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

No... I mean like more than a friend.

[offday]

I don't know if I'm the best person to ask that. I usually work the smolder and then go do my own thing. My lifestyle and relationships don't exactly go hand-in-hand.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

That's too bad.

[offday]

[Shrugs his shoulders and mumbles something under his breath, before speaking up.] I take it your not-marriage is going good?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I don't know... It's confusing.

[offday]

What's confusing about it?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

He can be... Rough. And cocky.

Kind of like you were.

[offday]

[Thinks back to a couple of conversations he had with him, and then he looks her over. Sighs inwardly and pushes back his own feelings, before smiling at her.]

You know, Rapunzel, I think you should take the chance and go for it. You spent your entire life stuck in a tower, you deserve to live it up as much as you can.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

...You really think so?

[offday]

Definitely.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Thank you, Eugene. Thank you so much.

[offday]

Don't mention it, I'm glad things are going so well for you there.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I got to pet a dog, Flynn!

[offday]

How's Pascal feel about that?

[madcuriosity]

My writer laughed quite a bit!

[hairflyingheartpounding]

That has mine giggling now... I don't get the joke.

[madcuriosity]

It seems you've gone and wrecked your Miss Tiana's pots and pans with all your adventuring.
