Damian rolled his eyes, closing them and concentrating for several moments, falling silent.

Catori's grin dropped and she tilted her head, watching him curiously.

The prince placed his hands on the ground. In between them, swiftly growing, was a single amber colored rose. He retracted his hands when it was grown, feeling a little light headed. “Here’s your prize.” Damian gently uprooted it, passing it to Catori. His hands shook faintly as he did so.

Catori looked down at the rose, and instead of taking it, grabbed his hands. "You can be kind of stupid, you know that? It's beautiful."

Damian blinked in surprise, too tired to argue. He held onto Catori’s hands, soaking up the warmth peacefully.

Catori sent a bit more warmth to her hands and shook her head, smiling fondly despite herself.

“Tale the rose.” Damian piped up, unwilling to release Catori’s hands. “It matches your eyes.”

"I can only take the rose if I let go, and I don't think either of us want that." Catori pointed out.

“You’re really warm… feels nice.” Damian admitted, melting under Catori’s warm touch.

"I'm like a space heater." Catori joked lightly.

“Whats a… space heater?” Damian tested the new string of words on his tongue.

"Something that heats up a small area. Like I'm heating up the area around you." Catori explained.
((sksksk for a sec i forgot that this was medieval fantasy now i'm pretending they've found some way to do it in her country

Damian untangled his hands from hers, gentle replanting the rose in the ground before crawling over to Catori’s side. “I’ll exile you if you ever say a word about this.” He grumbled, pulling Catori close and resting his head on his shoulder. “More warmth.” He demanded quietly.

"I would like to see you try." Catori replied, smiling as she heated up the side he was on.

Damian practically melted, his arms wrapping loosely around Catori’s waist. “I’m really glad you chose me.” He mumbled, his eyes starting to shut.

"You were the only one who I really got to talk to." Catori joked, before adding on softly. "I'm glad too."

“You must’ve heard the others at least. What did you think of them?” Damian clung to Catori, thriving off the warmth she was giving off.

"They were…interesting. Kai was sweet though." Catori replied, happily letting him hold onto her. It felt nice, her power being helpful for once.

“He was trying to steal you from me.” Damian grumbled, jealously flashing in his icy eyes. The prince yawned afterwards, but made no attempt to hide it.

"He was simply doing the same thing you had been. He did back off when I told him I wanted to go with you." Catori huffed a laugh at his jealousy.

“He better have.” Damian scowled when Catori laughed. “What? You don’t consider me to be threatening.”

"Not at all. You're about as threatening as a puppy." Catori said fondly, reaching up with her other hand to poke his nose lightly.

Damian’s face turned a dusty pink in color as his nose was gently tapped. “Earlier you said I was strong. What changed?” He pouted, no bite behind his words.

"You are. You just don't scare me." Catori shrugged the shoulder that Damian wasn't resting on.

Damian sighed. “I was going to wait until later to tell you this, but…” He trailed off, looking at her. But I’m growing attached so fast it’s scary. He shook his head to clear the thought. “But now feels right.”
