It chased us and Darkrai came to our rescue. [ It's much more complicated with more stuff in it, but that's what happened! Red only gestures for her to take a seat on... The beanbag chair since the couch is also attacked by random fabric and stuff. He hasn't told anyone else that lived here about the project he was working on that caused this mess.
He'll toddle his way over with his mug of water too. ]
But - what happened to you? [ Hesitation only keeps her about four seconds; she's never had the pleasure of sitting on a beanbag chair and it strikes her as very helpful to relieve stress.
So: she sits and plays with her hair and she watches. ]
Nothing much. It just grabbed us and scratched us a bit. [ UNDERSTATEMENT, but that's what things feel like when there's a lot of adrenaline though. He'll take a seat on the other beanbag chair, don't worry.
Wow, he's not sure if special is good or bad here. Eyebrows knitting together, he has no idea why she's worrying about him--well, he understands that something horrible happened, but there's nothing wrong?!
Is she becoming delusional?! ]
Maybe I should ask you that. [ You've been acting frantic. ]
[ GOSH she's been traumatized okay!!! .....maybe. ]
Oh, um. [ For the first time since her arrival, Rapunzel laughs. Granted it's self-deprecating and merely a watered down shadow of her usual giggles, but it's something. ] No, I know but - why are you asking?
