Feeling Rose’s hand on his cheek, Leolo reached up, placing his own hand over hers.  He enjoyed the way she touched him, and wanted her fingers to linger for as long as possible.  “You were not wrong to be angry,” he conceded.  “But I’m glad that you’re happy now, my lovely lady.”<br/><br/>When Elvie reappeared, Leolo reluctantly released Rose.  However, he couldn’t keep from smiling as he watched the two of them interact.  It was good that Rose had a friend here -- someone without conflicting feelings or a hidden agenda.  She would need that in the coming days.<br/><br/>“Pretty!” Elvie squealed when Rose slipped the clip into her hair.  “It’s so pretty!  Am I pretty now?”  Darting over to the room’s full-length mirror, Elvie spun and posed in front of it as she admired her reflection.  “I am!  Thank you, Rose!”<br/><br/>Then Elvie returned to Rose, eagerly taking the purse.  Plopping down on the floor, she began digging through it, searching for the best treasure.  While she was busy with that, Leolo took advantage of the temporary quiet to address Rose.  “Why don’t you go put on your nightgown?” he suggested, gesturing to the door which led to the royal bathroom.  “I’m looking forward to seeing you in it.”
