Prince Yang Qui expected that the princess would be uncapable of responding to him. "Now, are you going to change your clothes?"
The princess only blinked slowly at him.
"I guess that's a no," he said. "Can you move? Can you walk?"
Another no answer.
Prince Qui sighed. "You're going to have to pay me back for this." Then in one swoop of his arm, the princess was cradled against him.
Somehow this elicited a reaction from the princess. There was a spark of surprise in her eyes as her arms automatically reached behind his neck. Prince Qui waited but the princess did not say a thing.
"Alright, it's going to be a quiet night."
Then he brought the princess out of the shower and out of their room, dripping wet.
