    It’s not that he didn’t want to talk to the princess, or that he knew not how to speak. Yet, his vocal chords closed, and his jaw became stiff whenever he went to say a simple phrase. Maybe he didn’t know, or maybe he forgot. Maybe enough silence makes you forget. He couldn’t quite understand it himself, why his body refused to let him say the things that crawled inside his skull. Beyond a few simple words to those he was close to, communication had disappeared in his life entirely.
