"Yeah."

Rapunzel sits down on the bed, tucks her page of notes into her bag, and hugs her knees.

...He looks at her.

He pulls the chair a little closer to the bed - about muffin-passing distance, if any muffins remained - and sits in it.
Permalink

Rapunzel looks like she's trying not to cry.

Permalink

"...Do you want a hug?" he asks quietly.

Permalink

He sits beside her on the bed and hugs her.

Permalink

She leans on him and gives up on not-crying.

Permalink

Hug hug hug. So many hug.

Permalink
And a considerable many of crying, too.

She calms down, eventually.
Permalink

Rolan is still hugging her.

Permalink

She does not object.

Permalink

That is good! If she objected, he would stop. But instead of that happening there is more hug.

Permalink

"I was raised by a terrible human being."

Permalink

"Sure looks like it," he agrees, hugging her some more.

Permalink

"And maybe you're lying to me, somehow, but even if you could paint that fast paint doesn't dry that fast - and anyway to hear Gothel tell it the minute I stepped into a roomful of people I should have been torn apart or locked away - it's possible she's just deluded but - I don't think so."

Permalink

"Yeah." Hug. Hug hug.

Permalink

"We'll be able to see - the king and queen - tomorrow?"

Permalink

"Yeah. At the pace we've been going, if we leave early enough in the morning we should be in Corona by midday."

Permalink

"And they're not that hard to get audiences with? Girls don't turn up once a week claiming to be - me?"

Permalink

"I don't think a girl has ever turned up claiming to be you. I've never personally tried to get an audience with the king and queen, but all the impulsive things I do have left me pretty good at improvising. We'll find a way."

Permalink

"Okay." She swallows and wipes her eyes. "It's been a long day, I think I want to just go to sleep and maybe get an early start tomorrow."

Permalink
"Okay."

Just a little bit more hug, then.

There. That is enough hug. Now he can let go.

"Ooh, we got two pillows. Can I have one?"
Permalink

"Of course." She hands him a pillow. "And this is more blankets than I need too, I wind up in a - nest of hair if it gets cold."

Permalink

He giggles. "Okay, I'll have some extra blankets, then."
