70ftandcounting[Hear that, Keep?
--Or at least, anyone around her room.
This is the sound of Rapunzel screaming.
She just watched the pumpkin of her mother die, and now there’s voices that wont shut up.
Feel free to come check on her, or run into her as she flees her room in a PANIC.]

[She squirms. Everyone that knew at the Keep knew because it had been an emergency - she would just be...telling Flynn...
But again - she had told him she'd decided to trust him, right?]
Do you...have any scrapes or anything? Injuries?

action!
Date: 2011-10-23 06:00 pm (UTC)[That'll work. She reaches for the end of her hair and pulls some of it free from her braid and gently wraps it around his arm.
Then she starts to sing.]
Flower gleam and glow
Let your powers shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine.
Heal what has been hurt
Change the fate's design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine,
What once was mine...

Date: 2011-10-23 06:09 pm (UTC)Please don't freak out...
action!
Date: 2011-10-23 06:12 pm (UTC)I--
I'mnotfreakingout.
What... What was that, though? How did your hair do that and why didn't I know about it?
action!
Date: 2011-10-23 06:25 pm (UTC)It's just...always done that, I guess. Mother said that when I was little, some people tried to cut it, to steal its power for themselves. [She sweeps her braid back to show him the little brown piece.] But...once it's cut, it loses its power and it's just hair.

Date: 2011-10-23 06:37 pm (UTC)So that's why you freaked out on me? Did you do that to everyone you ever met?
action!
Date: 2011-10-23 06:46 pm (UTC)[She flinches.]
It's safest for me, in the tower.
...Remember how I told you I don't get out much...?
[Try like, ever.]
action!
Date: 2011-10-23 06:49 pm (UTC)Oh. Oh.
Have you always been there, then?
action!
Date: 2011-10-23 07:01 pm (UTC)Um...yes?

Date: 2011-10-23 07:02 pm (UTC)[Gosh, what does he say?]
I'm sorry.

Date: 2011-10-24 12:03 am (UTC)What about you? [She told you her secret...]
action!
Date: 2011-10-24 12:09 am (UTC)What about me?

Date: 2011-10-24 12:11 am (UTC)[She leans on her hands and scoots closer.]
action!
Date: 2011-10-24 12:14 am (UTC)Well...
I'm not going to go into details. It's not a happy story...
You know, little orphan boy... The usual thing.
action!
Date: 2011-10-24 12:16 am (UTC)And she's listening, Flynn. Tell her all of it you know you want to.]
...I don't know what's usual...
action!
Date: 2011-10-24 12:21 am (UTC)[A sigh.]
My father died before I was born... My mother followed not long after. Um... I was in an orphanage...
I found a book one day. I was just learning to read, and... And it was amazing. The Adventures of Flynnigan Rider.
...That's where I got my name. Well. The one I use, anyway.
[A beat, but-- No, only if she asks.]
Anyway, Flynnigan could do everything I wanted to. He went on adventures, he wooed women, he... He had money.
He didn't need to steal to get by.
[...]
And if he was in an orphanage, he would've been adopted.

Date: 2011-10-24 12:39 am (UTC)[Her brow furrows as she continues to listen, and his words make her want to reach out to him, and she can't help it.
She reaches to take his hand in hers and give it a little squeeze.]
