[ Rapunzel appears through the bracelet looking a little worse for wear. She gives a soft sigh and small awkward smile to the bracelet feed. ]

Hey um... I know this is going to sound a little crazy, and maybe I'm just tired or something but...

[ She frowns and starts fidgeting with her hair a little. ]

Has anyone else been hearing... strange noises? No, not just any noises but... sad noises? Like reaaally sad noises? I've been hearing them for a while now and I've gone out searching, but It's like it's impossible to find the source...

[ She faces the bracelet again. ]

I just... I want to see what's wrong. See if I can help maybe. Anyway, that's all I wanted to ask.

[--....]

I know what that's like. [Considering she had her own metaphorical tower before coming to Asgard.] I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about it and that you finally have the opportunity. If you don't mind the advice, though, it's helpful to look before you leap. That way you're less likely to experience the bad parts of life instead of the good ones.

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

I'll certainly take that advice to heart...

but you know, sometimes the bad parts might be good too? If you've never experienced anything then even the new experience of like a cut or scrape could be like an adventure.

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

It could be. If it's just a cut or scrape.

[But when you end up trapped and manipulated into doing horrible things, that's something else entirely. The stranger danger is strong with this one.]

Not everything is so easy to recover from. [Still,] I like that way of thinking about it though.

[goldensprout]

Sounds like I need someone like you around to keep me safe.

[lethechained]

[-- Hah.]

Well, I am a healer. I'd certainly do my best. Still I'd rather you didn't get into trouble in the first place.

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

Healer... wait! Does that mean you're in the sigyn house too?

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

I am. So you are as well? I'm glad. It's a good house to be in.

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

This means it'll be easier to find you!

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

It would be, but I moved out of the actual house a while ago. I still come to the area for work though so I'm not too far from there most days.

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

That'll just make trying to find you more fun.

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

Are you really that determined? I could be dangerous, you know.

[Yeah, Naminé, sure.]

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

Wouldn't it be a little strange for a dangerous person to give a stranger advice on how to be safe?

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

Not if they're trying to trick them. [But she can't help smiling to herself anyhow.] But you do have a point.

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

Well I feel that I can trust you. Why else would you be a healer?

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

I didn't choose to be one. I like it a lot but maybe I was only chosen by mistake. Couldn't that happen?

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

You can try to deny it all you want, but I'm not falling for it.

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

Suit yourself. You'll find out one way or another.

[Hee. Really, though,]

Hopefully not the hard way.

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

... You're an interesting person, you know that?

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

[--?]

Am I? [That's certainly not something she's ever been too inclined to think about. She has to ask, though,] Is that a compliment?

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

Yes yes! Of course it is! I just mean that you sound like you're a lot of fun!

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

[...!]

I don't think anyone's told me that before. [But gosh, she can't help laughing to herself.] That's very kind of you. I'm not so sure I wouldn't disappoint you but I suppose I should give you a chance to find out for yourself whether it's true.

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

I just hope I don't disappoint you.

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

I'm sure you won't.

[Goodness, though, how to bring this up?]

You didn't last time.

[... Sure, okay, go with the weird vague way. Dangit, Naminé.]

[Text - Filtered]

[goldensprout]

Last time?...

[ She frowns at this text ]

Were we... friends before too?

[Text - Filtered]

[lethechained]

We knew each other. I didn't see you very often but I was glad to when I did.

[And of course she should probably ease the situation.]

I'm sorry. I know it can be a lot to take in. [Not everyone handles the whole 'you (or some iteration of you) were/was here before but you don't remember' thing well.]
