*having caught her he kneels down with her in his arms, he strokes her cheek gently to try and wake her up*
Ben: Mal? Mal sweetheart, wake up for me baby
*after a minute or so her eyes begin to flutter open*
Mal: Ben? W...what happened?
Ben: you passed out, I'm taking you back to your room and you're gonna rest
Mal: I'm fine
Ben: stand up for me
*with her help he stands up but when she does she gets rather wobbly and Ben has to grab her and steady her*
Ben: no you're not so come on rest for you, you just passed out you need to chill for a bit
Mal: really I'm fine just give me a minute and I'll be fine
Ben: I'm not taking no for an answer
Mal: fine then
*she goes to walk to the door but she stumbles and Ben stops her*
Ben: you can barely stand up by yourself and your room and mine are on the other side of the castle, come on
*she looks at him for a second but decides she doesn't have the will to argue with him so she just wraps her arms around his neck, he picks her up bridal style*
Mal: people are going to stare
*refering to the numerous servants who were all around the castle*
Ben: I don't care
*she snuggles into his chest as he heads for her room, on the way a few of the servants stop and stare for a few seconds before getting on their way *
Mal: people are staring
Ben: it's okay Mal
Mal: but they're looking at me with pity, like I'm weak
Ben: no they're not, they're worried you might be sick, you're the future queen, you being healthy is very important
Mal: that's not why they're looking
Ben: I promise you it is
Mal: okay
*she snuggles further into him and soon, they arrive at her room, he pulls back her sheets and gently puts her down before pulling the sheets over her*
Mal: I love you
Ben: I love you too, I'm gonna let the council know I won't be joining them today, I know that I should tell them about maleficent but I will tomorrow, I'm staying with you and I'm not going to argue about it
Mal: I was going to ask you to stay with me
*ben gets onto the bed beside her she snuggles her head into his chest with her hand on his stomach near his scar but careful not to be on it because she still worries it'll hurt him even though she knows that it won't, he wraps his arm around her and pulls her as close to him as he can*
Ben: it's okay Mal even if she is no longer the little reptile she was when we sent her back to the isle but there is still a magic barrier keeping on the isle
Mal: because that'll stop her, Ben I want to agree with you, I want to believe we're all safe but I don't believe we are, you just never know with her, I don't want her to ruin everything
Ben: she won't, I won't let her
Mal: if she gets her chance then you won't have a choice
Ben: I will protect you
Mal: I hope you can
Ben: come on rest, this isn't gonna help you de-stress
*she snuggles as deep into his chest as she can and then soon falls fast asleep*
