2nd Sundrop | VIDEO
[Rapunzel smiles at the feed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear - hair unbraided for once and showing its monstrous length.]Hello? I was told by Allen that there were supply runs into Credinta and I was wondering if someone wouldn't mind getting me some shoes? The ground here isn't very safe to walk on I've found. But... I have a small

[But Lenalee won't be mentioning that, no.] Ah... I could-- lend you my shoes, if you'd like. I know what size my feet are, so if they fit you... then I can try and find you a pair... whenever I end up going...
[Things have been distracting her from that trip lately. :T]

That would be so nice of you, but don't you need them to go out into town yourself? It would be rude of me if I just took your shoes. [But using them to size her own would make things easier.]
You haven't gone lately?

Ah- n-no, I don't. I have... another pair. It's hard to explain, but you don't have to worry.
[It would be easier to simply show the girl, she imagines.] ...no, I. I haven't gone at all yet. I planned to go last month, but... [she grows a little distant-sounding] things happened. With so many new people arriving lately, though, I think I should try and get through soon.

Are you sure? I wouldn't want you to walk around barefoot... I'm perfectly fine with staying in my room.
Allen said the buildings disappeared, was it then?
Reply
Ah... [Smiling weakly. So very, very weakly.] Yes. Yes, it was when the buildings were gone. I had to stay here, to make sure everyone stayed safe. [Something she'd failed at.] It wouldn't have been a good idea to leave when it was already so difficult to find each other, much less another city.

Was there something else strange going on besides the buildings being gone? It couldn't be that hard to find each other here with them gone.

When the buildings vanished, a fog came in. We couldn't see further than a foot or two on any side and I'd been separated from everyone else when it happened. They didn't find me again until a few days after. There were strange sounds every evening and- [her voice hitches a little as she steers herself from mentioning Rhode's temper tantrum] -things got very tense. Several of us had a hard time finding one another during that time.

There was fog too? How horrible! [No trace of sarcasm what so ever, she's genuinely shocked!] But at least everyone is alright now, aren't they?

[The sincerity in the girl's reply actually surprises her. Not because she'd thought Rapunzel would react with sarcasm, but because while it had been frustrating and stressful, Lenalee wouldn't have called it 'horrible'. She wonders just how sheltered Rapunzel really is. Outwardly, however, all she offers is another faint grin.] Y-Yes, everyone is fine now.
[Physically. In a somewhat-obvious attempt to change the subject:] -Ah, why don't you tell me what room number is yours and I can bring my shoes over?
Reply
Worse than Lenalee in some ways.] I'm glad. But if anyone ever needs any help, I can...maybe do something for them.
My room? I think it's 206.

[Which is exactly what she starts to do, the feed shaking somewhat as Lenalee gets to her feet and moves out into the landing.]
...Ah... if you don't mind my asking, what do you mean by 'doing something for them'?
Reply
Well... Just help them feel better, more comfortable, make sure they're not in any sort of pain. You know, that sort of thing. [And sing their injuries away while they're asleep and no one is around.]
Reply
And I'm sure... everyone... will appreciate that.
[The spontaneous injury healing especially.]

I hope so, every little bit helps!

It does- especially in a place like this. I wish we could live in better conditions than this.

We just have to work hard at making this place the best we can.
