[She lets out a quiet, thoughtful sound, considering that.]

Kaguya-hime was my favorite, but it can get long.

[Or at least, her father always made it long so that he could spread it out over several nights and she'd hang on his every word.]

A princess? I don't know that one.

[ She doesn't have to tell him, but that's really cute. ]

[setpoint]

An immortal princess from the moon.

[Not just a princess, Raleigh!]

[wentnuclear]

Okay there's no way I could have guessed that just from her name.

How'd she get here from the moon?

[setpoint]

Her family sent her to protect her from a war.

[wentnuclear]

A war on the moon? The enemy didn't think to look for her on Earth?

[setpoint]

I guess not. I don't think they considered Earth very important.

[wentnuclear]

It's bigger, but okay. Did they have to disguise her? What do immortal moon people look like?

[setpoint]

I mean they didn't consider us or our civilization important.

[But also.]

You're taking a fairy tale very seriously.

[wentnuclear]

Well that's just rude. Isn't it important automatically if it's going to save their princess?

[ She can see that he's grinning in the dark, despite trying to keep a straight face. ]

These are very important questions, Mako.

[setpoint]

[This is the worst, because he grins at her and she can't help but smile back.]

They're very silly questions.

[wentnuclear]

You never wondered as a kid what immortal moon people would look like? This is vital.

[ Please just tell him the story he's not gonna stop. ]

[setpoint]

[Her smile widens, and she squeezes his hand without thinking.]

Would you like me to just tell you the story?

[wentnuclear]

[ Oh, she caught on. Or just decided to indulge him after all. Raleigh strokes his thumb over the back of her hand again and snuggles deeper under the covers, settling in. ]

Yes, I'd like that.
