"Then what is this..." she asks grabbing the thing andletting go of it again immediately. "Oh, never mind."
"Sorry." Jimmy says instinctively letting go of Gwen as she pulls away
"Hey!" Gwenhwyfar protests. "It is still cold here. Just be careful where you point your... magic wand." She floats closer to Jimmy cuddling up to him again.
Jimmy is glad it is dark up there... He ends up holding Gwen at somewhat of an awkward angle but it isn't too uncomfortable.
After floating there for several minutes Jimmy notices that Gwenhwyfar becomes heavier. It is not much, but it is enough to start pulling you down slowly. After another minute or two the floating in the air is over and you change to a free fall.
Which is no big deal with for Gwenhwyfar and Jimmy has his ring. But the landing is not targeted and so it ends on top of a mansion. Gwenhwyfar runs down the roof and jumps over the edge fleeing further from the house to get out of the premise.
Jimmy quickly runs down the slant of the roof and follows her
Gwenhwyfar clambers up the wall. As she sits on top she looks behind herself if Jimmy is coming along.
As Jimmy lands he rolls into a plant pot and knocks it over.
He quickly runs to Gwen and tries to climb the wall after her.
"This is funny." Gwenhwyfar giggles as she slides down the wall on the outside while the front door of the manor opens and people come out to investigate. "Come, let's run before they get us."
"Where are we running to?" Jimmy says laughing with her
"I have no idea." Gwenhwyfar replies while running.
Jimmy laughs again and chases after her.
"Thank you." he calls out to her between breaths as they run
"What for?"
"The view." Jimmy says with a shy smile
Gwenhwyfar stops as she is out of breath. Panting she replies "Yes that was really nice." Looking around she asks "Where are we now?"
"I was following you." Jimmy says as he looks around for any landmarks
"See what that leads to. Now you're lost. What are you going to do about that?" Gwenhwyfar teases Jimmy.
Looking around again Jimmy spots something he recognizes. "That looks like the Avenue of Hours." Jimmy says pointing down the street they are on
"So where are you taking your damsel in distress?"
"Damsel in Distress?" Jimmy says taking her hand, and grinning at her, "I have an idea." Jimmy says as he leads the way
Gwenhwyfar follows with a blissful smile on her face.
Jimmy leads the way to the Lord-Mayor's Menagerie.
As they approach the park Jimmy pulls Gwen over to peer through the fence on the side into some of the animal pens. "That is Prince Mandali." Jimmy says as the enclosure next to the fence seems to belong to the tall ape
"What has he done that he gets locked away like that? And prince of what is he?" Gwenhwyfar asks.
"The park I suppose. It is the name people gave him." Jimmy says, "He isn't really a prince."
"It's a shame. Let us free the prince!" Gwenhwyfar suggests.
"Do you suggest we free the basilisk they keep in there as well? We don't know why he is in there..."
"Who wants a basilisk running around free? No, only the prince." Gwenhwyfar replies.
"Who wants a 14 foot tall monkey running around free?" Jimmy rebuts
"But he is a prince!" Gwenhwyfar tells making the pretty please with sugar on top eyes.
"I really think that they just named him that." Jimmy says
"Do you have to be so realistic?" Gwenhwyfar replies. She checks the cage where there is a door or something.
"More that I worry about a massive ape rampaging through the wealthiest section of town in the middle of the night."
"Shhhhh. It's Mrs Heidmacrh and the mayor..."
Gwenhwyfar mumbles a few words and suddenly everything beyond the cage is covered in obscuring mist. And Gwenhwyfar starts to run once again.
Damnit! Jimmy thinks as he takes off in the direction he thinks Gwen went
"Where did that sudden fog come from?" you hear the voice of Mrs. Heidmarch out of the mist.
Gwenhwyfar simply ran where you came from and then around the next corner. Once Jimmy closes up she asks "That was a close one. What did Mrs. Heidmarch do there at this time?"
"I think her and her husband have something to do with the park... Anyway, now it is your turn to guide us somewhere."
Gwenhwyfar takes Jimmy's hand and runs further through the city until she stumbles upon Starsilver Plaza — where abalone shell inlays create a scene of thousands of stars. "That's wonderful!"
"That is certainly is. The singing is somewhat spectacular as well." Jimmy says as he stand looking over the beautiful buildings
Gwenhwyfar searches for some bench to lay down on and enjoy the music that the wind carries over. Once she finds one it doesn't take long though until she is moved herself into the land of dreams.
As it is already hours past her normal bed time.
Jimmy lifts her head and sits next to her, letting her head rest on his leg he strokes her hair as she sleeps.
After a while jimmy carefully lifts her in his arms and starts to make his way back to the manor grounds, and their room their, carrying her.
Gwenhwyfar sleeps through the transport and well beyond sunrise.
Jimmy strips before climbing into bed, and then cuddles up against Gwen and falls asleep holding her in his arms
Gwenhwyfar is startled as she wakes up to bright sunlight. But as she notices where she is, sh sinks back into the sheets. "Good morning."
