Esme: *looks around for a suitable pole* Clopin: *Chuckles a bit* Esme: *twirls* Clopin: *Smiles fondly* Esme: *backflips before twirling again and then stopping to look at Clopin with a slow smirk* Clopin: You've gotten a few extra moves, Esme. Esme: It seems with age comes ability *smiles and prances over to him* What are you here Clopin? Clopin: *Looks around and shrugs with a small smile* Just me, I suppose. This is for the most part a quiet place, chère. Esme: Seems terribly droll compared to Paris...though I suppose no one wants to imprison us for dancing here either... Clopin: *Reclines back* Mmm, mmhmm. A nice place to retire. *Contemplates a flask on his belt* Esme: *dances over and wraps her scarf behind him to pull him close* Well it can't be all bad here maybe I'll stay... Clopin: *Taps her nose with a claw* It'd be nice to have a familiar face around. Esme: *grins and slips the flask out of his belt leaving the scarf in it's place* One to keep you out of trouble hmm? Clopin: *Frowns* Now, Esme, that isn't nice. *Reaches for it* Puppet (On his tail fin): Don't let him have it! Esme: *giggles and opens it up for a little sip before making a face* Ugh Clopin how can you drink this stuff! *pours it onto the ground* Clopin: *Gasps and snatches the flask away, finding barely a drop left and sniffs before drinking it* Why is La Esmeralda so cruel to me? *Attempts to look pitiful* Esme: *brushed her paws off and snatches back the scarf holding it to her eye like a hanky and pretending to sniff* Why clopin one would think that foul liquid means more to you then I Clopin: Aww, Esme, you know it doesn't. But that doesn't mean I can enjoy you throwing it out. Esme: I don't see why you want it anyway, it tastes foul Clopin: Ah, but it makes me relax. And forget unpleasant things. Esme: Silly Clopin you know you should keep your wits about you *slinks over to him and sighs* Have you been so unhappy alone out here? Clopin: *Smiles* No, chère. And don't worry your pretty head about me. Esme: I DO worry about you *softly runs a paw along his face and sighs* Clopin: *Closes his eyes and sighs* I wish you wouldn't. It's my job to look out for YOU. Esme: Your too good at your job *smiles softly* Clopin: You can never be too good. Esme: Well your the best *nuzzles his shoulder* Clopin: *Sighs a bit and sets his head to the side to rest against hers and mumbles* If only that was true. Esme: It is...*strokes his back softly* I missed you...I didn't like the fence...but I wanted to find you... Clopin: Life after Frollo's demise too dull without me around? *Smirks a bit and glances down at her* Esme: Incredibly...besides what is a court without it's King? Clopin: I left Luc in charge, was he not good at it? Esme: *shakes her head* It wasn't that...it's just...no one is quite like you Clopin Clopin: We're each one of a kind. *Nods* Esme: *nods and nuzzles his cheek* I'm glad I found you... Clopin: I'm glad you found me, too. Esme: *smiles and kisses his cheek* Clopin: *Kisses her forehead*

Clopin: *Lies on his back on a rock and ties colored flags together* Esmeralda: *leaps over and twirls* What are you doing? Clopin: Not drinking, if that's what you may have been wondering about, Esme chère. *Smiles a bit at her and keeps tying* Esmeralda: Hardly...I'd know if you were drinking *smirks* Clopin: *Glances down at her and raises an eyebrow* Oh? And how is that? Esmeralda: Oh you know my crystal ball or something *giggles* Clopin: Sweet Esmeralda, you know I know better than anyone that you don't use a crystal ball. Esmeralda: *smirks* YOU know that, but don't go telling anyone else Clopin: *Chuckles* I'm tying scraps of cloth together. I started to miss the old flare around my den. Esmeralda: Not enough color for you on ths dreary old reserve? I saw some pretty nice clothes in that rangers station...wanna go 'borrow' some? Clopin: Mmm, not enough in my den. Haven't really had too much time to decorate. *Smiles down at her* Perhaps another time. Esmeralda: *smirks* You've gotten tame...but don't fret I'll help you spruce things up Clopin: *Tilts his head* Tame? Moi? *Shrugs a bit* Esmeralda: *frowns at him* whats wrong Clopin? Your normally not so...sullen Clopin: *Looks off for a moment before turning back to her with a grin* Nothing, chère! I'm quite fine. Esmeralda: *glares* don't lie to ME *tosses her hair back* Your grin might fool the other simpering females but you forget how well I know you... Clopin: *Smile fades a bit, watches her for a moment before he sighs* Yes, I guess I did forget... Esmeralda: What is it? Clopin: I... still miss Chantal. *Lies his head back and runs a paw under his hat, closing his eyes* If I hadn't sent her away... Esmeralda: Oh...*moves a bit closer and lightly places her paw on his shoulder* You can't blame yourself...she might have suffered a worse fate if she stayed... Clopin: I could have protected her here... She didn't want to leave. Esmeralda: She left because she knew how much you worried...and you were able to save so many... Clopin: *Smiles a bit and looks up at her* I didn't do anything compared to you and your little friends. I would have executed them had it not been for you, chère. Esmeralda: Yu were just trying to keep us all safe *smirks* Clopin: *Laughs once* Great job I did there. They almost burned you to death. *Grimaces* Esmeralda: I managed to stay alive though, a lot of us managed to stay alive *hugs him* You can't blame yourself for a good deed gone wrong Clopin: *Gives her a squeeze* But I can't let go. *Sighs* The only solace I find is in a drunken stupor. Esmeralda: Oh don' be a fool Clopin, a drunken stupo is hardly solace it's a state of idiotic forgetfulness *nuzzles him* You need to move past this Clopin: *Slips away and sits up* It's hard, Esme. I thought if I left it would be easier, but... Nights alone just make it worse. Esmeralda: *strokes his cheek* Maybe you shouldn't stay alone then... Clopin: *Shakes his head* I can't let anyone else know about my trouble. You remember me- *Smiles a bit* the king always wears the mask. Esmeralda: I could stay with you... Clopin: I couldn't ask you to do that. Esmeralda: You don't have to ask, I'm offering Clopin: *Smiles* What would I do without you? Esmeralda: Probably drink yourself to death, but I like you too much to let you do that *smirks and kisses his cheek* Clopin: *Chuckles* Yeah, probably. *Strokes her cheek* Esmeralda: Then it's agreed we'll den together until your feeling better Clopin: *Throws the string of scarves around her shoulders* You can help me decorate it. ^.^ Esmeralda: Happily *waves her own scarf and smiles moving to help him continue tying the fabric* Clopin: *Puts his hat on her head, too, like he used to when she was little* It's pretty bare, just to warn you. There aren't any throw pillows to take in that station. Esmeralda: Oh how will I live without such luxuries! *pretends to swoon then laughs* I'll be fine and we can always make do with what there is Clopin: *Looks shocked and laughs* I was talking about myself. I miss having pillows. Esmeralda: *laughs* You HAVE gone soft Clopin: *Dissolves into chuckles* I always liked pillows. Esmeralda: Yes, you did enjoy the creature comforts Clopin: Indeed. Well, some creature comforts, anyways. Esmeralda: We'll see about getting our paws on some pillows Clopin: *Ties on the last scarf* Yeah, I think we will. *Grins* Esmeralda: *smiles glad to see a geniune grin on his face*
