Oh.

Okay. Wow. Uh. Have fun?

I guess you and I aren't a thing after all then?

I don't like him. That's why I need girl help. I want a dress that says, 'I'm still a princess, so you have to respect me, and I like you...as a friend...'

I'm not an expert on dresses but I know how it feels to be a guy and being direct usually is the best way to get your point across.

So.. where do we stand? I'm just going to come out and ask you because it's hard for me to figure out. You've gone from throwing yourself on me to almost avoiding me and I just want to make sure we're on the same page, because once I started opening myself to the idea of being with you, I can't stop thinking of you. In a good way.

I don't know where I stand right now on myself. I like you... a lot. I'm just...I'm mixed right now. I really am, about myself, not us. I think, for once, I need my own emotions.

I'm not really sure what that means. *frowns* What can I do to help?

I don't know. What can I do to help myself?

You said you want your own emotions? What's clouding your emotions? The clothes? We could go skinny dipping. Not to be lewd or anything. Everything is pure in the water and you'd have no clothes to make you feel whatever it is clothes make you feel.

I guess you need to identify whatever it is that's making you feel the way you don't want to feel and try to set it aside for a while.

We could...try that. I never thought of that before.

It's worth a try. *small smile* I worry about you. I hope this helps at least a little.

I hope it helps, too.

Would you like to try it now?

Yes. I think I would.

*grabs a couple of towels for them and puts on his shoes. He then offers her his arm*

Ready?

[smiles and stands up, taking the offered arm, pulling in close to him]

I am.

*He kisses the top of her head before walking outside the palace with her and walking down to his favorite lake, not a terribly long walk by any means. He lays out the towels and gets undressed*

[she stares straight ahead, watching him undress without actually watching him]

*He turns around, now completely naked, seeing her stare straight ahead*

Are you alright? What's wrong?

Nothing. [she tries to keep her eyes from going over to him, trying to be proper and modest, but when she looks over to smile she can't help but let her eyes drift down. and stay there]

*He can't help but smile a little when he sees her trying not to look at him* Go ahead and look. I don't mind.

[she does look, a light blush coming to her cheeks when she reaches a certain part of him] Oh...

*He smiles at her, endeared by her blush. When she says oh his eyebrow cocks*

What?

Oh. Nothing. I've...I've never seen a real one before.

Oh. *smiles, not entirely sure what to say* Well... it's real.

I can see that. [the blush is back as she starts to undo the shirt she's wearing]

*He grins and then lays down in the grass on his back, so she doesn't feel like he's watching her change*
