...M-Mother might come to Garden? Really?

Don't be so concerned kitten. I doubt your friends will let the witch steal from the fountain of youth any more.

[seethelanterns]

I know Eugene and Merlin wouldn't want to let her see me, but.... [She is still Rapunzel's "mother" who raised her and cared for her. And how is Rapunzel supposed to talk to her about the implications of what Eugene told her if she can't see her?]

[daughters_of_janus]

Just don't forget you're your own woman now. You don't have to give up the great things you have just to please her.

[seethelanterns]

Right! Well, she might not even come...it's just a reserve, at the moment. [But this girl was right. She doesn't have to give up her newfound freedom when people seemed so accepting of her at the Garden.]

[daughters_of_janus]

Exactly! Thought it might not be the best idea to be alone with her. She doesn't strike me as the type that will take the word "no" well.

[seethelanterns]

I don't think Eugene or Merlin would let me be alone with her. So...I don't think that's something I need to worry about.

[daughters_of_janus]

That's good and if I come to the garden I can distract her with what she really wants any way.

[seethelanterns]

....You could? [But how could this girl do it? Rapunzel had her hair, and the incantation, but this girl didn't have hair that long.]

[daughters_of_janus]

Mhm~ Your hair and my blood are two of a kind.

[seethelanterns]

What do you mean...? Your blood?

[daughters_of_janus]

If she drinks some of my blood her aging will pretty much stop. Along with some other fringe benefits.

[seethelanterns]

Drinks your blood? [This...is new. It sounds a little like those cannibals her Mother warned her about.] How does that work? What benefits?

[daughters_of_janus]

Some added strength, a body that can take a beating and some other things.

Though in return she would have to listen to me.

[seethelanterns]

I'm not sure. I think we'd need to talk to these mods about her....um, circumstances. [ie what would happen if Eugene kept Rapunzel from Gothel and/or Rapunzel was updated.]

[daughters_of_janus]

Then I might be the tie breaker to avoid her from going all decrepit?

[seethelanterns]

I don't know. My mun isn't sure yet about updating me and it might affect Mother....

[daughters_of_janus]

Don't worry if I have my way I'll take good care of her in a way where she won't keep you locked up in a tower.

[seethelanterns]

That probably won't be necessary. There aren't any towers at the Garden for her to keep me in. [Besides, even at the highest floor of the school she could easily escape from the windows climbing down her hair, even if Gothel managed to separate her from Eugene.]

[daughters_of_janus]

Still, you're aware of why she is your "mother" right? It's a little odd you're still concerned for her health.

[seethelanterns]

Just because what Eugene told me means she -- that doesn't mean I would want to hurt her or anything. I just want to talk to her about it, to find out why.

[daughters_of_janus]

I could tell you why if you want. Obviously you'll still need to find out in the game but I know the story.

[seethelanterns]

Well, I am going to talk to Eugene about it more, but....could you tell me?

[daughters_of_janus]

Okay; once upon a time was an old woman who didn't want to grow old. She used a magical plant to regain her youth every so often, becoming young again with just a song. However one day the plant was taken away; used as a medicine to save a dying member of nobility. The properties of the plant were passed on to the noble's daughter's hair.

So the old woman snatched the baby away and raised her, made her grow her hair out nice and long so that she could live forever.

[seethelanterns]

So....it's because of my hair. All that time she was warning me about how others would try to kidnap me and use my hair, to cut it or sell it....when really it was her... [She had sort of gathered as much from what Eugene had said, she just didn't want to believe it.]

[daughters_of_janus]

Exactly. I'm sorry I had to tell you kitten.

[Rapunzel would get hugs, because Jeanette knew a lot about family issues.]

But hey, now you have Eugene and all those other friends.
