Set post-game, so some spoilers.

Also, in case you missed the October themes (since I posted them pretty early), they're here!



"So, you're a prince,"Eclair replied matter-of-factly. She sat at Homard's bedside holding his hand.
He gave her delicate fingers a little squeeze. "Indeed." With such a calm and noble expression on his face she had no trouble believing him. But quickly enough his usual roguish grin returned. "Of course, don't go thinking that just because my noteworthy background has been revealed that I'm no longer up to sharing a bathtub with you."

She gasped and blushed slightly, but regained her composure after only a few seconds, grinning at his renewed proposal. "I wouldn't have it any other way!" the newly whole Eclair was able to announce with pride.

"Then how about now?" he suggested, preparing to hop out of bed despite his injuries. He threw back the sheets and jumped up, wincing and clutching at his bandaged side.

"Are you sure you're well enough to be exerting yourself like this?" Eclair worried. As much as she wanted to enjoy herself with Homard, his health would have to come first.

"Exert myself? Ha! Bathing with you will only be relaxation! Don't worry about me, my sweet Eclair!" Homard enthused dramatically.

Eclair smiled at his bravado. This was what she needed- someone kind and funny who was always ready to embark on a miniature adventure or two. "If you say so. But let's be sure to take it easy," the princess took his arm and led her guest to an opulent bathroom.

"This place is spectacular. It's like everything in the Kingdom of Paprika- large and lovely! Much more so than in my home country."

"Everything is larger and lovelier?" Eclair queried, locking the door behind them. She took out her earring and set them near the sink with her tiara. Homard began to run the water. Eclair hesitated a bit before taking off her dress, but her other side granted her the necessary strength to strip down to her birthday suit and approach Homard as he slipped into the warm water. "Homard," she tapped him on the shoulder.

"Everything," he repeated himself stupidly, "Especially those."

"Oh, you!" the princess laughed.
