Want it now, do you? Hmm... I don't know...

[princessia]

[ A small huff. ]

What do you mean you don't know? Why can't I hear it now?

[serves]

It's supposed to be for later. Waiting makes things better, you know.

[NO ONE SAYS THAT]

[princessia]

Waiting is painfully boring.

[serves]

But the longer you wait, the better a story you'll get.

[princessia]

...You're still thinking about a story to tell.

[ Because he doesn't really have one now, right? She doesn't look too upset at least, even smiling a bit. ]

I get it. I'll wait.

[serves]

You saw right through me. I'll have one soon, I promise. I want it to be a good one.

[princessia]

Alright. Don't forget, 'kay?

[serves]

I won't. You have my word. I just have to decide whether to tell you about bears or dragons.

[What a tease.]

[princessia]

...The one with dragons isn't a scary story, is it?

[serves]

A little, at parts. But it ends well.

[princessia]

Oh. [ A beat. ] I'm not afraid!

[ Then why'd she bother asking...! ]

[serves]

Of dragons? Certainly not. I'd never assume. But what of spiders?

[princessia]

[ Shuddering at the thought of them. ]

Gross!

[serves]

We've got spiders as big as you are, you know.

[princessia]

[ She can probably go up against big spiders with her spells, having fought strange monsters her size before. But... that still doesn't make her unafraid of them. ]

I'm... not scared of those either!

[ Liiiiies. ]

[serves]

What about the tiny ones?

[princessia]

No way I'm scared of tiny ones.

[serves]

Even if one were right... here?

[Nose tap!]

[princessia]

[ She squirms! Didn't see another nose tap coming. ]

You cheater!

[serves]

Me? Never. I'm insulted, Elize.
