[70ftandcounting]

[Rapunzel had spent the last few days trying her hardest to remember who she was, where she had come from, and why she was here - or even...where she was.

But now...

Now she remembered.

And she wished that she didn't.]

I....I remember. I remember everything.

[That's all she says and then the book is slammed shut. She's out in the orchard, sitting under a tree with her head in her hands, quietly crying.]

[He puts his hands on her shoulders and gives her a little squeeze.]

[She smiles shakily at him, sniffling a little.]
 
I…I know, but…I just didn’t want to be a bother.
 
[Everyone had so much to worry about with their friends hurting friends and people dying horribly…Rapunzel just…hadn’t wanted to be a burden to anyone. That was the last thing she’d ever wanted to do.]
 
…Thank you.

Rapunzel listen to me. Joo be important to me alright? Joo ain't evah gonna be a boddah.

[He wraps his arms around her again, giving her a tight hug.]

[She leans into it, her tears finally completely ceasing. What he's saying is a huge relief - and she can't help but tightly hug him back.]

And...and I'll always be here for you, too. I promise.

I know joo will. Joo be a good girliemon, and I be proud of joo.

[Kevas tucks her head beneath his chin. The crying might have stopped but he doubts she's feeling any better and he'll stay right with her until she does.]

[70ftandcounting]

Really? [She looks up at him, and tries to smile.]

You are?

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

[He smiles and brushes her hair with his hand.]

I am. Always. I will always be proud of joo.

[70ftandcounting]

[She felt...a little better. Not completely, and she wasn't going to be for a while but...

She could at least make that smile genuine.]

Thank you. That...that really means a lot to me.

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

[At least he got a smile out of her. That's a step forward.]

Only be tellin' joo da truth Sunshine.

[He gives her another kiss atop her forehead. It doesn't matter to him that she has a mother back home, Rapunzel is very much apart of his family.]
