A small, rebellious thought that he could find a way to follow her home blooms in his head- but he knows he can't. He might be in a pretty terrible situation back home, but Rapunzel is relying on him. If he doesn't find that final incantation, Corona might very well be lost. He can't let himself become the reason for his homeland's downfall. Not again. And he could never ask her to give up what she's doing, either. She's too important for that.
All they really can do is appreciate the time they've got while they've got it. However long that might last. He moves an arm around her, curling into her a little as he lets out a slow breath. It's fine. ]
