•Telemachus•

Leah... *breathes her name like a prayer*

*breaks the kiss, breathing heavily* We should... *glances around nervously* maybe find somewhere more private? *his cheeks burn as he realizes how that sounded* I-I mean...

*takes a shaky breath* Can I kiss you?

*Telemachus takes a deep breath and begins to sing the theme song, his voice is surprisingly good* I was a girl in the village doing alright then I became a princess overnight now I gotta figure out how to do it right so much to learn and see up in the castle with my new family in a school that's just for royalty a whole enchanted world is waiting for me I'm so excited to be Sofia the First I'm finding out what being royal is all about. Sofia the First! Making my way it's an adventure every day. Sofia! It's gonna be my time to show them all that I'm Sofia the First.

*He tilts his head, his expression one of genuine confusion.* Autism? Forgive me, I'm not familiar with that term. Is it an illness?

*He grabs her hand and twists it so that the scissors are just below her lower left abdomen. He then presses himself against her chest so that scissors hit his left thigh.* Stop! *He yells over the noise of the suitors.* Cut me instead. Snip me into tiny pieces with those things while telling me that you love me. That you'll allow yourself to watch me bleed until I'm bone dry. Just please, *His tears are filled with tears at this point.* Don't cut yourself.
