With a soft sigh, the Prince quietly opened the door, taking great care that his slippered feet wouldn't make even the slightest of sounds on the cold cobbestone floor. Yes, there Rue was, lying with her hair in uncharacteristic dissarray on the bed, her lashes lightly closed. Siegfriend couldn't keep a smile from sliding across his face and drew near, though he noted that perhaps her dress was a bit too warm...what other reason could there be for the light blush that tinged her cheeks? Still, he supposed that such an elaborate gown was never meant to be viewed half-splayed from beneath the covers as it was...

"My Princess..."

With great delicacy, he leans over her, gently brushing a few curls away from her forehead before planting a delicate kiss on her lips, sighing softly as his heart flutters in his chest.

However his meditations are cut short as he feels Rue shifting, her arms lethargically reaching up to wrap around his shoulders. Slowly, her eyes slit open, revealing a red gaze that while familiar, is perhaps a bit more heated than usual. He feels her twisting under him slightly, pulling him close as she rises up to press her lips to his in a none-too-soft kiss that lasts just long enough to leave his head spinning and his lips tingling with the passion behind it.

"Mmmmh~ My Prince...~ Mhmm~"

Rue giggles, pulling away, her eyes lazy and somewhat unfocused as she clumsily traces little circles on the back of her Prince's neck. Something about the way his mouth hangs open, painted slightly red with smeared lipstick, or perhaps the way a deep blush blooms across his face, or the way he seems to sway in and out of focus entices her, making her want to squirm closer and do things that make her heart quicken and her lips purse in anticipation.

"M-My Princess...I'm ah, sorry...I-I thought you were sleeping..."

She heaves herself up, pushing her body to lean on his, cutting off his stammering with another, somewhat off ill-centered kiss. Despite himself, he feels his arms wrapping around her, if only to steady her and hold her in place.
