0210: Crushes

[livingmyths]

Rapunzel? Are you around? I thought maybe you'd be coming to the Library or something today.


Has anyone seen Rapunzel? She's really sweet, isn't she? I don't know her so very well, but when I woke up this morning, well, gosh... I just started thinking about how great she is and smart and all and with all that beautiful hair and I thought maybe, well, maybe we could sort of hang out sometime or something. You know.


[Rain woke up with a sweet little schoolgirl crush on Rapunzel!]

It's amazing...they're all so beautiful, you've done a wonderful job taking care of them!

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

I try.

[Rain looked around happily.]

I love it up here.

Lots of nights I sleep up here if I work late.

Action

[tangledintower]

It is lovely...don't you get lonely up here by yourself, though?

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

No. Not really. I have the flowers and the stars and the Library. It sings to me sometimes.

Action

[tangledintower]

Oh. Well, that's good...though if you ever do get lonely, I wouldn't mind keeping you company up here...

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

Oh gosh, you can come up here with me any time you want!

Action

[tangledintower]

Really? Oh, awesome, I'd love to keep you company up here!!

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

I didn't think anybody'd want to do that. I mean, I think it's great, but no one else seems to like roofs.

Re: Action

[tangledintower]

But you can see everything from on roofs! You're closer to the stars...it's wonderful!

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

I know... And I feel safe up here when things are scary because of the curses.

Re: Action

[tangledintower]

It seems like a safe place to be...

[She hesitates for a moment, before taking Rain's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.]

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

[Rain gave her a shy smile and squeezed back.]

It is.

And if I'm sad I come here too, or go down deep into the Library and it sings to me.

Action

[tangledintower]

[She nods in understanding, giving her a small, reassuring smile.]

I feel like that when I'm painting. When things feel low, I go and paint and...well, I feel better. Soothing just picks up.

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

I didn't know you painted. Can I see some of your paintings?

Action

[tangledintower]

Sure! You can come by the apartment later, if you'd like...they're sort of, well...on the walls.

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

Where else would you keep pictures?

Action

[tangledintower]

No, I mean...well, I painted directly on the walls.

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

Oh.

Gosh... that sounds like it would be fun.

Action

[tangledintower]

...Do you wanna come over? And paint, I mean...I have some parts of the walls I haven't done, and there's some things we could paint over...

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

Oh gosh! I think that would be great! I'd like that!

Action

[tangledintower]

Oh, awesome!!

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

Could I paint flowers?

Oh...

What if I my painting is all ugly? I wouldn't want to make your walls bad.

Action

[tangledintower]

That's not possible, there's no such thing as a bad painting. All art is beautiful in its own way. And besides, if you're going to paint flowers, they'll be nice no matter what!

Re: Action

[livingmyths]

Are you sure?

I don't want to mess things up.

Action

[tangledintower]

I'm sure! I don't think you'll mess up, anyway, I think you'll make something great!
