I recommend listening to Tek it/ Friction by Cafuné (HELLA GOOD SONG)

King Gloxinia: I'm really sorry.
King: Hm? Why are you apologising?
King Gloxinia: Because I've been a terrible influence. I've been a real.. Dick.. Over these past few days.. Weeks, even. And I want to apologise and make up for everything I've done.
King: Like what?
King Gloxinia: Well... I've been really dismissive of yours and Diane's relationship, I apologise for trying to force you into one..
King: What's done is done, but can be repented for. All I want is your blessing. I love Diane, I really do.. And I need your help with that. I want to love her, and do so freely, without judgement. Thats all I ask for.

Gloxinia smiled and looked at him.

King Gloxinia: You're going to make a great leader. You're going to change this world with your mind and your heart, all for the better.
King: Thank you..

King heard someone coming into the bath rooms. Gloxinia took off a cucumber to check. He then heard "Lady Elaine, don't worry I'm sure it'll be fine"

King: Diane?
Gloxinia: Elaine..

They then saw the girls walk in with towels. Diane saw King and Gloxinia. King instantly covered his.. Yk.. Elaine felt like going back but Diane wouldn't let her. They made a soft splashing sound as they both got into the water.

King: Diane? Elaine? Are you getting into the bath?
Diane: Are you going to peak?

King slapped the water

King: I- OFCOURSE NOT. I WOULDN'T DARE TO DO SUCH A THING!
Diane: *laughs* Are you alright? Are your wounds healing?

King looked away, and made sure Gloxinia did too, as Diane took off her towel and joined them in the bath. Diane slowly got into the bath and smiled as king covered his mouth and nose as he looked away.

King: My Uhm.. My wounds are healing quite well.. They're sore but will heal, so I'm.. J-Just fine. Anyways.. I'm still unsure why he would.. Just attack me like that?

Diane stopped smiling a little and looked away from King.

Diane: That might be my fault..
King: It couldn't possibly be-
Diane: I was talking with him.. He asked me who I came with and I pointed to you.. He wasn't happy and felt the need to.. "impress me", so decided to instantly attack you. I'm sorry..
King: Diane, that's not your fault? It's his. It was him that stabbed me, not you. And I doubt you ordered him to.
Diane: But-
King: I won't blame you, because it's not your fault.

Diane nodded and smiled. Gloxinia stood up and decided to leave with a guilty conscience.

Elaine: G-Gloxinia! Y-Your towel?
King Gloxinia: I'm loud and proud! As a King should be. Harlequin do not hide it, it's a very manly size!
King: H-HUH?!

Gloxinia walked out. Diane had her hand covering her face as she was bright red. Elaine didn't feel like taking a bath anymore, so washed and left.

King: It's.. Just us now..
Diane: Yes, it is..

A silence.

Diane: I just.. Wanted to apologise to you..
King: I said you didn't have to-
Diane: About something else.

King started twiddling his fingers, nervous.

King: What else.. Is there to talk about?
Diane: You know... What you.. Said to me?

Diane tensed up.

Diane: That you-
King: What did I say?
Diane: Earlier.. Before you met Anna.. You told me that you.. You know..?
King: I'm sorry.. I can't really remember. My whole vision of the party.. It's quite blurred.

King bit his tongue.
