A smile curled up Aries' face at those words. They were exactly what he needed and wanted to hear; all those love confessions were already boring him.
He responded, "Of course, I'd love to. When are we leaving? We should leave now."
"Oh… you want to leave now?" The expression behind those words made Aries uneasy.
But he responded anyway, "Yes. You know I told you about the crazy, tyrant tiger king I escaped from, and who searched for me in the world kingdom, leading to your injury. He learned of the cook's identity here and seeks to see him, and that's me. If I go to the palace in the morning, he'll recognize me, and that's the end."
"Oh… that's… really tight," Lucien muttered.
"Yes, and that's why we need to leave the kingdom and go to yours before anything else. What have you got to take us back?"
