[Action] OTA

 [Rapunzel's sitting outside on a bench near the Joe West building, hair loose but she's sectioned some of it out and is slowly braiding it, eyes locked on her work and the deliberate motion of her hands. The note from her mother is sitting in her lap.]

[It's hard for her to accept that so many people left because of the Black Mist. Not that they

/After the initial upbeat relief of Mother Gothel leaving, it occurs to Flynn that Rapunzel may not be so excited. and since he hasn't checked in on her in a bit anyway.../

/Cue Flynn leaning against her door frame/

Hey, Blondie. And.. lizard. Holding up okay?

[letdownmyhair]

*She raises her head at the familiar voice, turning sharply to look over at him. She instantly looks relieved*

Flynn! You're still here!

[flynn_rider]

'course I'm still here! What, you think I'd let a little mist scare me off?

[letdownmyhair]

*She smiles a little*

No, I guess it wouldn't. But I... *Her gaze shifts again* ...I didn't think it would scare Miss Lieutenant off, either.

[Originally, Axel didn't pay attention to her as he was passing by. She was just someone else who was here among a mass of other people.

He did however notice something snag his boot and looked down briefly to see the golden strands. His eyes followed them back to the source and finally, he spotted the girl and realized it was her hair.

....Huh.] Yo.

[letdownmyhair]

*That snag definitely caught her attention as well. It tugged slightly at her scalp and she winced, a hand quickly coming up to press down on her head in some attempt to protect it. Her eyes raised up to see who was there, blinking owlishly*

Ah... Hi?

*She's never seen anyone with such red hair before. How fascinating!*

[burn8seconds]

[Yeah well, he's never seen anyone with hair as long as hers so, they're both evenly surprised on that. Kneeling down to check his boot, he just notices that it was a small tangle and tugged it free.]

Sorry. Wasn't planning on stepping on your hair.

[letdownmyhair]

Oh- No, I'm sorry, I... I keep forgetting that people might trip over it...

*Her hands drop to start pulling the locks of hair toward her, letting it pile up at her feet*

[Megamind has taken to trudging through the campus--going out of his way to avoid a number of people; at the moment, he's wandering with a few charts under his arm to study in a corner of the library when he sees her...

He can't help it. The whole ordeal--he was worried about her too.]

...Rapunzel?

[letdownmyhair]

*When she hears her name called, she looks up, eyes wide* Megamind!

*Some of the tension leaves her shoulders, instantly relieved to see him* You're okay, you made it!

[codejournalname]

[this draws a light smile--very light--and he steps over to her] More or less--and I'm...glad..to see the same of you.

[letdownmyhair]

*She smiles back, warm and sweet with a tiny, anxious laugh*

Only "more or less"?

[alwaysaxefirst]

[Much in the same way Axel did, Astrid finds herself caught on a strand of hair, only she recognises who it must be instantly, and quickly untangles herself.]

Hey, Rapunzel!

[letdownmyhair]

*Rapunzel blinks at the familiar voice, then smiles slightly when she sees Astrid*

Hi Astrid. Oh-- *With a grimace, she reaches to pull all her hair toward her again* I'm so sorry, I keep forgetting...

[alwaysaxefirst]

That's okay. [Giving her the best smile she could manage, Astrid plonked down next to Rapunzel.]

So... you're doing okay now?

[letdownmyhair]

*She nods slightly*

I... I think so. I guess I sort of- panicked.
