it's the first time you've seen him since he was taken by the guards and tortured. but little did you know, elphaba had saved him by turning him into a scarecrow.

he's standing in your castle- which you just recently aquired due to your newfound title as the good witch of the north. took a fight to get past your guards, but he managed. for you. now he's standing there waiting for you to show up. and when you do, you look different.

it's a FANTASTIC different. you looked powerful, almost ethereal- you were always beautiful in his eyes, but as of now? his pulse is rushing, his head is reeling, his face is flushing- just altogether, if he has to sum it up in a word... wow.

"hello? who are you?" you ask in your usual sweet voice, practically sending him into a spiral.

"um- i, uh..." he stutters, praying you believe him when he explains. he's come this far, why is he so nervous now???
