[She'd seen the message from Isabel, and it's with a shaking voice she posts this - she doesn't trust her handwriting.]

I'm...I'm a healer. I can help, if anyone needs it.

Do you need some help?

I'm not a healer but it could help to have someone else there.

[Audio]

[70ftandcounting]

....That...would be nice, yes. I'd really like that.

[Audio]

[lightwithin]

Okay.

Where are you?

[Audio]

[70ftandcounting]

In...in the Bower.

[Her safe place.]

[Audio] -> [Commentlog]

[lightwithin]

Okay, the bower.

[Got it. It takes Kairi a moment to find her way around the tower. She hadn't explored in here much. But she soon finds Rapunzel.]

Hey... What're you doing?

[Smalltalk, but any talk is good, right?]

[Commentlog]

[70ftandcounting]

[...Sitting there staring at a wall?]

Oh, um--

[Blink.]

...Thinking.

[Commentlog]

[lightwithin]

About your friend?

[There's the faintest hint of a smile in her tone, though it hasn't yet reached her face. Rapunzel's older than she is. But that's not enough to stop her from teasing, just a little bit, if only to try and make her smile.]

[Commentlog]

[70ftandcounting]

About -- Flynn?

[Rapunzel blushes deeply, and shakes her head fiercely.]

N-no...just.

About things. The Keep...Halloween.

[Commentlog]

[lightwithin]

Oh.

Were you okay?

I mean, you didn't-... You weren't hurt?

[Kairi sits.]

[idkmybffcyclops]

Hey sweetheart. You all right?

[70ftandcounting]

I--

[No, not really :/]

Y-yes.

[idkmybffcyclops]

[Yeah Logan's not buying it. So he's stabbing out his cigar and getting ready to go see about her.]

Where are you?

[70ftandcounting]

In...in the Bower?

[Rubbing her eyes.]

Do you...need help?

[idkmybffcyclops]

Nah, I'm okay.

[He's just coming to see about you.]

Hold on, I'mma come see you.

[70ftandcounting]

Oh...okay.

[She's not going anywhere.]

Alright. I'll...be here.

[idkmybffcyclops]

[Bower, bower, bower...There it is. Logan climbs up and looks around for his newest childthing. When he spots her, he stops shy of her hair dome and kind of leans down, to see if he can see her face.]

Hey, Rapunzel?

[70ftandcounting]

[She peeks out of it.]

...Hi Logan.

[idkmybffcyclops]

[Logan gets down to Rapunzel's level, studying the hair dome and then looking at her.]

Whatcha doin' in there, kid?

[70ftandcounting]

[...Hiding.]

U-um...

[Sloooowly uncoils it and sighs.]

Nothing.

[idkmybffcyclops]

You ain't gotta hide.

[Logan sits.]

Not gonna let anything happen to you.

[70ftandcounting]

[People keep saying that...]

...Thank you.

[She smiled weakly at him, though she's kind of checking to make sure he really is okay.]

Are you sure you're alright?

[idkmybffcyclops]

Yeah I'm fine. Pretty tough.

[70ftandcounting]

[Well, he seems to be telling the truth, so she's just.

Gonna lean on him.]

...Why do bad things keep happening here? I...I thought this place was supposed to be safe.

[idkmybffcyclops]

[Logan's surprised because this is kind of unexpected. Still, he'll put an arm around her.]

I dunno. That's why we gotta start lookin' out for each other.

[Or more accurately, Logan keep tabs on his kidlets.]

[70ftandcounting]

[Snugs in next to him. She's decided to trust him, too.]

Yeah. That's...that's a good idea. This place isn't what I thought it was.

[She'd thought it was wonderful but..it's not really turning out to be that way.]

[idkmybffcyclops]

You call me if you need me.

[He'll come running.]

[70ftandcounting]

[She nods.]

I will.

And you have to promise you'll call me too, okay?
