Returning back to the castle and back to River's bedroom sneakily as to remain undetected, Stace brushes her hair. River is in her nightgown.
River
I'm sorry again...
Stace rolls her eyes as she brushes River's hair back.
Stace
Geez, can you please quit saying that already? For the last time: I know! Seriously, did you need to remind me you are sorry seventeen times?
River
(Laughs)
It wasn't that much...
Stace
Oh, really now? Because I counted!
River
(Laughs)
Okay, maybe I have overdone it a bit.
Stace
(Laughs)
"...a bit." Is an understatement.
Stace finishes brushing River's hair.
Stace
There. You can get up now.
River stands from her stool, looking in the mirror.
River
You know, you should get a hair parlor set up. You'd make a killing I think. But maybe not, people don't really know talent.
Stace
(Laughs)
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
River turns to face her.
River
I guess this is it for tonight.
Stace
Yeah, guess it is. It's still pretty early though, so we can probably hang for a couple of hours.
River smiles.
River
I'd like that.
Camera shows Stace's own face turning to a smile and cuts.
