[This whole conversation is awful for him, because she's being so sweet and understanding and nice and just wishes he was half the man she seems to think he is. And he really wants to TRY to be that person! Because she really deserves a prince and not a bloodstained knight like him. She didn't even KNOW about that part of him, and he hoped it stayed that way.]
[Not to mention Van. Gosh, Van. Everyone keeps reminding him about Van and it drives him crazy. He wishes he could just put it back the way things were. It was easy then, now it's such a big to do, blugh. No matter how he acts about it, if it had been up to him, he would have preferred that it had stayed on the down low.]
[Of course, Rapunzel is not privy to his internal monologue, so all she gets is Maxim squirming and whining and digging his nails into his palms before he finally gives up and flops onto her lap with a wail]
