[Relaxed and happy really was a gorgeous look on Henry. Alex found himself considering how heavy the weight of a crown that Henry was never even expected to wear must have been for the Prince to carry. All those expectations of flawless poise and duty that Henry had been bearing since he was a child, how heavy must they have been.
Alex wanted to see more of Henry like this, unburdened and smiling, wanted the prince to have a chance to be happy, while he could, while they were here. And once they got home, he wanted to find a way to help it continue.
Peering at the entrance to the cave, Alex shrugged.]
Nope. Just come to the caves. That's all it said. I suppose we go in?
[Not sketchy at all, nope. But only way forward was, well, forward. So Alex gave Henry's hand a tug and headed inside.
The prince might crash right into him though as Alex stops short almost immediately once inside at the sight he finds.]
Holy fuck.
[Henry. Henry there is a DRAGON. It's huge. He's not feeling good about the little knife in his waistband anymore.]
