Dusting off an old muse.

So, instead of picking up a new muse from that new story that came out, you decided to dust me off instead, huh? I like the way you think, mun. Except for the whole stuffing me away for awhile and all that. Don't worry, all will be forgiven once you let me stretch my legs and go adventuring.

You're going to let me stretch my legs and go adventuring, right?

Then why aren't you smiling? [She leans forward to peer into his eyes.]

Better? [Stretches his mouth into a big ol' smile.]

If you mean it, yes! (How can she not beam back?)

[Even though his smile shrinks, it becomes more genuine.]

I do now.

(Her expression softens in turn and she tucks her hair behind her ear.)

You've brought me so much happiness. I wish I could repay you.

You, ah, don't have to worry about that. You've already repaid me and then some. [Clears his throat, glancing off to the side.]

I did? How? (She glances at his hand.) If you mean me healing you, that was nothing.

[Looks at his hand, wiggling his fingers briefly, before shaking his head.]

No, that's not what I'm talking about. I mean, that was really helpful because hey; I like having my hand and all that. Just...you know. [Inwardly cringes. For all the smooth talking he can do, he's not very good at expressing himself when he's feeling vulnerable.]

(She blinks and falls silent, not sure what to say.

After a moment...)

Maybe I should open a shop and offer healing?

[Sighs at himself and mutters under his breath, before responding.]

No, I don't think that would be a good idea. If too many people saw what you could do with your hair, they'd want to take advantage of you. You could try and make some ointments instead or something.

I don't mind healing anyone I can. If they think that's taking advantage of me, maybe that's okay?

(She is so naive. Halp, Flynn.)

Nooo, no, no, no. Being taken advantage of is not a good thing. At all. You'll end up without any hair and whisked away to some far off, shady place.

...like a tower?

Yes, like a tower. [Blink.] Eh-heh, and you don't want to go back there, right?

...no, I don't. I know where I need to go. I'm just not sure...

Don't rush it. Finding your own path takes awhile. You'll figure it out, Rapunzel. I know you will.

Will I see you again?

Sure. You can't get rid of me that easily.

Then I'm looking forward to it!

In the meantime, we need to think of something you can do that doesn't involve people wanting to run off with your hair.

There are plenty of places to visit here. Not everyone knows about my hair, so it should be easy, right?

Right. Although people are going to stare at it because of how long it is. Hmm, maybe we can put it under a hat. A really big hat....

It'd have be a huge hat.

Maybe we can say you're afraid of scissors.

Do you think that would work?
