Oh, so we might get another 'me'? An....'AU'? I know you were hoping that Gothel might app but this is still something right? It should be....interesting. A me if I wasn't brought up by Gothel.

....No, mun. Wanting Mother Gothel just to see Merlin and Eugene freak out isn't a good reason. Well, maybe to you, but I don't want them worrying like that!

Yeah, that's cute though.

Cute? Uh, thanks. [What are compliments after all Gothel's put downs, really.]

Yeah...

[He pauses musing on something she said.]

If she does come, Gothel, I could distract her. I have something she wants.

You do? [What she wants is Rapunzel's hair.]

Yes. A way to avoid death, among other things.

...It would be better if you talked to her yourself about that.

I intend to Angel, that is if you want her sent on a wild goose chase. The thing I have is real of course but my sending her out would be to keep her out of your *ahem* hair.

[Geeze even he couldn't believe he made that pun.]

That depends how you intend to help her. [Rapunzel, for all Gothel has done, doesn't really want her hurt or anything.]

I would teach her about enlightenment. I'd be dead right now without it. Of course it's not the most pleasant process but she doesn't have as much to lose as the last guy I taught.

Enlightenment? I'm not sure I quite understand.

It's hard to explain but I'll put it this way. No weapon can kill me because I reached enlightenment.

I'm not sure it's weapons she's most concerned about. [More age.]

If I can survive a stab to the heart I could reverse the problems of aging. Really there's very little one can't do if they reach enlightenment.

....It does seem powerful. [It would be up to Gothel in the end but for some reason Rapunzel has a bad feeling about this.]

Yes, though she won't be as easy as the last one I taught. It sounds like she's set in her ways and to reach enlightenment you have to...shake someone up a little.

Shake them up, how?

Give them something to think about. Something life-changing in itself. Perhaps for her it would be something like "What you have been doing is wrong." Or have her contemplate what she is really doing with the youth she wants to keep so badly.

Oh....But how does that give her such powers to reverse aging and not die from being stabbed? [It sort of just seems like reflecting on things to Rapunzel.]

It's a step towards enlightenment. One of the trials you have to face.

And the other trials?

Quite a few things but nothing she wouldn't bounce back from. And nothing she wouldn't do once the curiosity struck her about it.

And you're sure about that?

Yes I'm sure.

[He thought a moment and added]

Even if I wasn't I wouldn't force her to do anything. She could always go running after you for your hair again.

Oh. Right. Well, it's something you would need to talk to her about, anyway.

I wonder what you would look like with angel wings.

[A rather sudden change of subject but he figured they needed it.]
