[Rapunzel was very close to the feed, she seemed happy if a little bit nervous. After a moment or two she moved back, moving some hair behind her ears before she speaks. Her nerves were clear in her voice, after all, she was doing something she figured was majorly big for her to do.]

Uh, hi there. This might seem a little odd in me doing, but hear me out. I've... spent most of my life unable to leave my tower. My fear and hate were to be forced back into which... Some people saw and I am very grateful for them. I actually owe them something for how brave and kind they were. I'm thinking cookies, maybe.

[She is starting to play with her hair a little bit, she was getting a little bit more nervous. Deep breath before she carries on.]

But anyway that's now what I wanted to talk about. I wanted to talk about the reason, my mother was so protective of me, to the point where I wasn't allowed to leave. She... even went as far as to always tell me about all the awful things that could hurt me, that people will use me should they know about the gift I have.

Which... I know at this point isn't true. At least those I have met, which is everyone who can currently see this. it means I trust you with what I am about to say and... please no one freak out, okay?

[She takes a small breath, closing her eyes for a moment as soon she starts... singing?]

Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine

[As she started to sing, her hair from the root all the way down to the tip started to glow of all things. That... certainly wasn't normal was it? but the young woman continued on.]

Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine.

[Once the song was over, her hair slowly went back to normal as she opened her eyes once again, breathing a sigh of relief that she had done it.]

To explain it... The song kind of makes it a little clear, but I'll explain it anyway. But my hair... can heal most wounds or turn back the clock as the song suggested. Make it so whatever wound you had is no longer there, no scar, nothing. It even works if someones been poisoned. Also, works on animals. [She was not going to go into the whole can make you look young thing. No reason for that one.]

So...yeah. I've said it now. I trust you all to not abuse it should you need it, okay? Don't purposely get yourself hurt because you know. [She smiled, her nerves were slowly melting away, it was over. She had done it.]

Oh, also again, those who helped me with my whole... mother thing. Let me know what kind of cookies you want or if you don't want cookies, what else do you want and I'll be so happy to do it.

I mean... this world has had its scary moments.

[So she was partly right, but not as correct as she had first thought anyway.]

But it's not as bad as she made out. [There was a reason she isolated her? Rapunzel wasn't sure why she would want to anyway. But it hurt a little to think about it.]

I know I'm not weak, at least not now anyway.

For some, living alone is scary. So there's no escaping fear sometimes. But people need to learn how to face fears and handle them. Otherwise, you always wonder about the 'what if' and said fears grow without being real.

I don't think you were ever weak. When we first met, you didn't know me or what I could do but you tried to help me out regardless.

Living alone isn't scary though. Lonely, I must admit, but why would it be scary?

[She at least understood about fears and facing them anyway.]

Well I'm not going to wonder that anymore, I'll be doing my best to face what comes. Just like I will keep being who I am and doing things I never thought of doing.

It is scary for some people, I'm used to it too but not everyone is like that. Some might be scared of their own house at night, if they hear sounds...who knows, exactly.

[Dray smiles at her resolve, glad to see her standing up for herself.]

I'm happy to hear that.

Hearing noises at night. I can see how that can be spooky.

Like maybe there are ghosts or goblins running around. Or someone breaking in.

[And now her mind if going places.]

Exactly. Most of the time it's nothing but the mind wanders. Don't worry too much about it, though.

There are ghosts and spirits in Everglade too and they're not so bad.

I won't worry much. I mean I always have my trusty weapon with me.

[Because it's a frying pan, no one ever suspects a thing.]

But I also have a roommate so it makes it a lot less scary.

Do you? I never saw you carry a weapon.

[Cooking utensils, on the other side...]

That certainly helps. You mentioned your roommate before but you never told me who they are.

It's because the weapon isn't obvious.

[She smiled slightly.]

Her name is Kyrie and she's really nice.

I see. is the weapon your hair?

[There's so much of it, it must be useful for battle.]

First time I heard that name but if you like her, I'm sure I would too.

I can use it as such, yes. But I use something else as well.

If I didn't like her, she wouldn't be my roommate.
