Prince Endymion
Obvious exits:
East Wing

Serenity is lying on a bench, long tendrils of blonde hair draping down to the ground, as does the bottom half of her white dress... She's holding an already-withering white rose above, idly plucking one petal at a time.

Prince Endymion slips into the garden.. looking around and seeing you right away. Not wanting to interrupt.. at least right away, he slips behind a convienent tree trunk and observes for a moment.

Serenity plucks the last petal off that flower and frowns darkly, tossing it gently to the breeze and glaring at it as it floats down to the ground.. She glances skyward, again, up at the crescent moon and sighs, heavily. "...I want to go home..." She whispers softly, to herself, before heaving another sigh and reaching for another one of those half-withered roses. "/This/ time, we'll get it right." She resumes her plucking.

Prince Endymion leans against the tree trunk and frowns as he catches that. Forgetting himself for a moment.. he whispers softly, to himself, "Well, I don't want you to leave.."

Serenity's ears perk up a bit, at that... She catches the sound, but.. not the words. She sits up, suddenly, peering about the garden almost frantically. "Is someone there?" She calls out, nervously, blue eyes growing wide. She squeezes that rose in her hand, forgetting to be wary of thorns, and, "..Ow!"

Prince Endymion blinks. .oO( Oh /great/, that was out loud? ) Since their isn't any easy way out of that one, he comes out of hiding, standing sheepishly near the tree, "Hello Serenity.. erm.. I wasn't spying on you.." Which pretty much means he was..

Serenity blinks, too, eyes growing wider in surprise. "..Oh, Endymion! You were? ..Err. Weren't." She blushes furiously, before glancing down, then frowning at her hand. "Ow." She repeats, looking dangerously close to pouting.

Prince Endymion blinks again, and his cheeks pinken slightly. .oO( Some gentleman you are.. ) Moving over to you now, he states, "You're bleeding.." and delicatealy takes your hand, holding it palm up.. getting another of those silver kerchiefs from his suit and dabbing at it, "Have to be careful with those.." he says, hoping to change the subject.

Serenity's face flushes faintly, at that. "It isn't too big a deal, Endymion, really.. Nothing to ruin a kerchief over." She blushes again before glancing up at you, then covering your hand with her other one. Her lips curl into a gentle smile as she notes. "It's nice to see you..."

Prince Endymion still dabs a little more anyway, looking for a.. .. distraction. When your hand covers his though, he does looks up, smiling faintly back, "As always.. it's a pleasure to see you too.." .oO( Especially since I don't know how many more times I /will/ see you.. )

Serenity blushes faintly, again, but does giggle lightly as she teases, "You flatter me so..." She inches closer, pointing out, "You didn't have to hide from me before, you know... I'm always happy to see you, and you're always welcome to speak with me."

Prince Endymion cheeks pinken slightly again, and he continues the flatter.. er.. honesty, "You just looked so... peaceful, and lovely... lying there, I didn't want to intrude right away."

Serenity giggles again as she wonders, "Serene, you mean?" She winks, before her face flushes again. "I'm not all that lovely... Not lovely enough to stop someone dead in their tracks and make them hide behind a tree, anyway." She teases, winking.

Prince Endymion laughs, his smile widening, "Yes, Serene, even better." Laughing again, he winks back, "Well, apparently, you are.. in my opinion.." He blushes slightly too.

Serenity smiles sweetly, softly, at that. "Well, maybe I might agree.. And maybe someday I'll grow to be as lovely as you are devestatingly handsome." She teases again, giving another wink.

Prince Endymion chuckles, and runs his free hand through his hair, and teases back, "You mean you're going to get even more lovely? Such a lucky man I am." He gives the hand he was holding a squeeze, forgetting about the cuts..

No matter... Serenity forgets about them, too. She laughs merrily, at that. "Luckier than you thought before, I guess." She winks a blue eye at him, again. After a moment, her expression grows a bit more serious. "...Endymion? ...Do you think you'd ever like for us to be like Rose and Kunzite? ...Married, I mean." She glances away, blushing furiously.

Prince Endymion does forget about.. that other guy.. what a fool he was! He nods, laughing lightly, "I just don't know what got into me.. before." he says, hoping that doesn't sound /too/ suspicious. Noticing your seriousness, he stops laughing.. and listens, blinking a few times, then blushing, "I.. erm.. never thought about it.. wou.. would /you/ like that?" He glances away as well then.

Serenity glances back at you, smiling softly again. "If it was you?" She wonders.

Prince Endymion nods quickly, nervously, "Erm, yes, that's what I meant.."

Serenity smiles brightly, inching closer yet. "Then I would like that very much..." She says, softly.

Prince Endymion looks at you now, saying nothing for a /loong/ moment, just.. staring.. and thinking. He finally speaks, nervously, making sure you heard that right, "You really would, Serenity? Even... even after all that's... happened?"

Serenity smiles sweetly, leaning closer, against you. "Of course I would, Endymion..." She glances back up at you, then, winking as she points out, "Besides, you /must/ make a better husband than whoever my Mother may pick out for me..."

Prince Endymion brings his hands around to lightly hug you, smiling down at you. "Serenity, I..." At the mention of mother though.. he sighs softly, hugging you a little more tightly, and voicing his fears, "What am I going to do... when you go home?"

Serenity reaches around to hug back, resting her head against your chest. "Miss me, I hope..." She notes with amusement, still smiling.

Prince Endymion is smiling.. just not as much as before. Holding you against him.. he looks upward briefly.. then back down at you, "I will miss you.. because.. I love you.."

Serenity leans against you more, a light sigh escaping her. "Oh, Endymion..." She glances up, lips curling into a soft, sweet smile. "I love you, too, you know..."

Prince Endymion holds you with one hand, and strokes at your hair with the other. Smiling sweetly down at you, he leans in a little close, "I know..."

Serenity sighs happily, at that, before pulling away just enough to glance up at your face. She smiles, suddenly, reaching up to run a hand through your hair, before she kneels down before you, blue eyes never leaving yours. "...Endymion," She begins, smile brightening, "...Will you marry me?"

Prince Endymion smiles brightly down at you, loosening his grip as he feels you pull away. When you kneel, he blinks a couple of times, then gasps softly when you.. propose, to him. Just.. staring, at those blue eyes.. for a moment.. he then kneels down as well, taking your hand in his own and squeezing it tightly before answering, "Serenity... I... yes.. I will marry you."

Serenity laughs merrily at that, tugging her hand out of yours to throw her arms around your neck. "I hoped you'd say yes... I would've hated to get grass stains all over my dress for nothing."

Prince Endymion laughs, pulling you tightly against him, "How could I say no, to someone as beautiful and as.... wonderful, as you are."

Serenity laughs, too, muttering with little embarrassment, "Oh, shush.. You're going to make me blush." She pulls away to look at you again, smiling brightly. "I can't wait 'till I can go home and tell Mother!"

Prince Endymion leans down to lightly kiss your forehead, "That's ok, I like it when you blush." He then looks serious, leaning back so he can gaze down at you, "You don't think their will be problems with your Mother, do you?"

Serenity just blushes again, at that.. Hey, she aims to please. She sighs, suddenly, shoulders rising in a shrug. "I don't have to worry so much about her as I do Luna, and Artemis.. And Shaline." Siiiiigh.

Prince Endymion blinks.. looking a little bewildered, "You mean your pets?" He then sighs as well, looking down, "Yeah... I don't know how happy Princess Shaline is going to be.." He then hugs you tightly again, this time gently kissing you on the lips.. not lingering though, "But I don't care, this isn't about her, it's about us." He grins, "And I love you.. and I want to marry you, no matter what!"

Serenity blushes furiously, glancing downward. "Well, yes... Don't be offended by this, but... My felines err... Must not hold you in the highest regards." Nice save. She sighs happily, at that, kissing back before she nods in agreement. "I love you, too..." Siiiiigh.

Prince Endymion decides not to worry about the felines.. their just pets, after all, and their are plenty of other people to worry about. Like, what is he going to tell /his/ family. And, more importantly, does he tell Serenity the truth yet? Deciding not too just quite yet, he just settles for holding you, and looking happy.

Serenity leans against you, gently, sighing dreamily. After a moment she notes, "You've gone quiet on me, Endymion.." She glances up at you, smiling amusedly, "...Or are you soooo happy that you're at a loss for words." She winks.

Prince Endymion idly plays with your hair as he thinks, running his hands through it.. marveling at the softness. Glancing down at you when you speak, he chuckles softly, "Happy.. surprised.. thinking.. overwhelmed.." He hugs you tightly, "And I don't think I would have it any other way."

Serenity smiles, pointing out, "I feel that way, too.... And hopeful, too.. I'm very hopeful.." She sighs nervously, adding, "Hoping that no one disapproves."

Prince Endymion nods... nervously, "I'm hoping for that as well.." he sighs, "although I imagine that not everyone is going to be very happy about this, I'm afraid I've.. erm.. caused to much trouble for that." He reaches down to find your hand, and squeezes it again, "And for that.. I'm sorry." .oO( And someday.. hopefully soon.. I'll be able to tell you the truth about all that. )

Serenity smiles gently. "Everyone else is just... Quite a bit more stubborn that I am... Not ready to forgive, yet, but..." She sighs lightly, pointing out, "I never really was /too/ terribly upset with you.... You /know/ that I even loved you before... Before you left." Yeah. Silly girl.

Prince Endymion smiles back gently.. squeezing that hand again, "That's part of the reason I love you so much.. Serenity.. despite all I've done.. you've looked past that.. to the person I truly am." He grins, "That means a lot to me.."
