I shall speak to Denji, as you suggest. I am not sure I shall bring up my betrothal, but at the very least, I shall have to let him know that I see him as a friend and hope he is content with that relationship.

I've never had to... reject someone's intent before. Unfortunately, we left before I could even tell... [Her voice trails off. She's speaking about her peasant boy, she curled up a bit.] He'll be arriving to an empty cottage... [She shook her head and sighed.] In any case, I hope I can convey that I value our friendship even if I do not see him as a suitor.

[Her demeanour softens as Aurora gets lost in her thoughts, and she inches closer to put a hand on her shoulder.]

Even if you were there, you would be asleep. But here, where you're awake, who you're set to marry doesn't change how you feel... so there's no need to tell him about your betrothed unless you want to.

I've had to reject suitors far too often. Even after my engagement, they would come calling, thinking they could "win" me over Aladdin just because he isn't royalty. But two that I rebuffed were understanding and remain friends from neighbouring kingdoms... so I hope Denji is the same when you speak to him.

Ageless sleep... [She felt herself smile and then it faded. She may wake up to find everyone she loved dead beside her aunts. If she woke up at all. She sighed.] I am afraid I am not so eager to return home as you, Jasmine. [She took another deep breath. No, no reason to linger on something out of her hands.]

I am not so surprised you've had endless suitors, Jasmine. [The other girl was absolutely stunning.]

I hope Denji does wish to remain friends. I've never lost a friend before.

I understand.

[She will be the first to confess that her situation is incredibly lucky compared to most. (And her fiancé isn't even here yet.) She could assure Aurora that someone will find a way to her sleeping self, whether it's her betrothed or her lovely peasant boy... but she knows it's harder to believe that in the moment. Especially when her roommate has so much less experience with curses and relationships to begin with.]

Just know that no matter how Denji responds... you have me and Poppy. And there are plenty of other young men here who would love to be your friend, and only that. Some others may be interested in more, but that's not your concern unless it's something you truly want yourself.
