Bella is catching up on emails. It amuses her to agree to play the role of royalty at this random Renaissance faire that had the audacity to ask her if she'd be so kind to guest-star for a day, so she's telling them she'll do it presuming no emergencies come up and they don't give her excessively absurd lines to say.
She beams, and hugs him back tightly. "I love you too."
Snuggle snuggle kiss. Snuggle snuggle. Aww, he's all fizzy and giddy now, he likes that feeling.
Good. It is important to experience feelings that one likes. Bella is currently in the middle of a rendition of bubbly relaxation.
They can cuddle and have positive feelings together! That sounds like a great plan.
"So I'm guessing if you wanted to come play king at the renaissance faire you would have said, but maybe I should invite you out loud anyway?"
"I didn't know that was an option," he says. "What are the odds Queenie's gonna make me a dress?"
"I'm sure if you invite her to make you a dress, she'll make you a dress, but she can probably come up with something more traditionally kingly if you prefer. And yeah, the email said I could bring a co-star if I wanted. They were kindly gender-neutral about it, actually, had a little footnote about how they like to live in an alternate version of the past where things are nicer than they really were."
Bella snickers. "You realize people are probably going to want to take pictures and my relationship status has thus far not been public. Is that how you want your debut to go?"
"...I dunno, appear on the Colbert Report, make everyone think you're just pretending to be my boyfriend as part of a bit, and then have me confirm on international television?"
"That would also be pretty good," he admits, giggling. "But I think 'in drag as your queen-consort' is my favourite."
"Is it going to be convincing drag, such that my next twelve interviews all involve questions about my sexual orientation?"
"I make a very pretty girl," he says. "Seeing me in drag gives lots of people questions about their sexual orientation."
"Is it going to give you questions, or are they questions you've already answered because you like interrogating yourself?"
"Are you asking if I'm going to think you're hot in your Renfaire dress?"
"It's an important question!" he says. "I've had a guy break up with me because he couldn't handle how good I look in ladies' underwear."
