Howl's Castle

*Rapunzel takes a about 10 minutes before coming back into the room wearing a towel* Hmmm...uhhh...do you have any clothes I could...borrow...?? ^^;;

Howl chuckled and smiled. "Even better," he said, waving his hand, a dress appearing on Rapunzel. "If you don't like it, just say the word."

*Rapunzel blinks in surprise, looking down at her new dress; she smiles brightly and hops over to Howl, hugging him and kissing his cheek* Nope, I love it. ^^ Thank you, darling..!

Howl smiled and gave her a quick kiss. "It's no trouble at all," he chuckled. "Now, I should probably shower as well before we head back. But don't worry, I won't take too long," he chuckled again before going into the bathroom.

*Rapunzel pouts* Awww..! You should have taken a shower with me!! >3< It would've saved up water and been tons of fun too~

Howl chuckled. "Perhaps next time," he said with a small grin before closing the door.

*Rapunzel rolls her eyes playfully before laying on the bed; she rolls around in the sheets as she looks around his bedroom, blinking when she realizes how cluttered it is; she giggles to herself and shakes her head* 'At least he didn't use any of this stuff for foreplay'  

(XD)

Howl came out ten minutes later - a record, for him - and smiled when he saw Rapunzel. He chuckled and walked over to her, giving her an upside down kiss.

( How long does it normally take him??? )

*Rapunzel giggles and kisses him back* Good shower??

(.-. an hour.)

Howl laughed and smiled. "Yes, very good."

( oO )

*Rapunzel wraps her arms around his neck, rubbing her nose against his* I'm glad!

(He can be a freaking diva sometimes. XD
But that's how you know he twuuuuly wuvs Rapunzel. ^-^ Calcifer and Michael keep sayin', the day they know Howl's truly in love is the day he spends less than an hour in the bathroom primping XD)

Howl chuckled and smiled, kissing her nose fondly. "So . . . do you think we should back to the Common Room to make sure nothing's happened?" he chuckled again.

( D'aaaaaawwwww )

*Rapunzel gigges and nods* Mm-hm! Oh! Wait, so...how come you introduced me as your "lady friend" when I met your nephew?? Was it that weird to say "girlfriend"??

(XD Yeeeeeep ^^)

Howl smiled at her and brushed some hair out of her face. "Well, you're a lady, not a girl. Therefore, I thought lady friend fit you better."

*Rapunzel blinks before frowning as she rolls her eyes* Well, fyi, it doesn't sound better. Not to me. *she slides herself from under him and walks to the door* Might as well just call me, "girl-who-I-plan-on-dating-for-the-rest-of-my-life-because-marriage-is overrated friend" .....

Howl blinked in surprise as he looked over at her, his brow furrowing slightly. "What's the matter with it . . . ?" he called as he followed her.

*Rapunzel huffs* It just sounds like I'm nothing more to you than a LADY who's your FRIEND! When if my memory proves right, last night showed me we were much more than that..!

Howl blinked in surprise, and then his eyes softened. "I didn't intend for it to sound that way . . ." he exhaled. "I understand that girlfriend is a more widely used term . . . but it seemed too . . . informal, I suppose."

*Rapunzel crosses her arms* Well, it sounds FINE to me..! I'd much rather just be called your girlfriend since there's nothing else between us...! *she huffs, turning her head*

Howl exhaled slightly. "Well . . . maybe I don't like things being so informal . . . maybe I'd prefer a bit more . . . formality," he stressed formality as if he was trying to hint at something else by it.

*Rapunzel doesn't catch his hint and frowns more* Whatever then. Call me whatever you want. Just don't waste your time on it for too long. People can change... I'm sure you know that best of all... So just hope my mind doesn't change being your "ladyfriend"....

Howl roughly exhaled. "Well, I wasn't planning on calling you that for much longer, but I haven't gotten the ring yet!" he finally snapped before starting down the stairs.

( Ugh, FINALLY some drama between these two! ಠ__ಠ I've waited forever! )

*Rapunzel flinches in surprise at Howl's snapping; she gasps to herself at his words and looks at him with wide eyes before looking down; she stays looking down for a while, nodding to herself as she decides not to go downstairs, giving him space and time alone*

(XP Sorry
And she can follow him downstairs XD)

Howl exhaled and ran a hand through his hair before looking back up at Rapunzel. "We should head back to the Common Room . . .

( She doesn't waaaaant to. xP She's guilty for getting so worked up and she doesn't want the tension between them going through the portal! >3< )

*Rapunzel looks at him and gives a small nod* A-alright... Go on...ahead...I'll catch up with you...in a bit..
