[Action]

[letdownmyhair]

[There's an extremely anxious-looking Rapunzel heading out toward the quad. She doesn't have many of her belongings with her; just a box with her art supplies and a small bag filled with some clothes and her communicator. Pascal is perched on her shoulder, looking all around them just like Rapunzel is and with an equal amount of anxiety.]

[Kronk has snapped into Action Mode to cope with the situation - and shepherding students about is helping him cope with yet another upheaval in the school's schedule. He's trying desperately to look commanding as he gets the kids to line up - which looks slightly ridiculous when he's wearing a nightshirt, his backpack and a sleeping cap. He's glad to recognize a student of his among the rabble, and happy to catch her before she gets too thoroughly lost among them; he knows, after all, that this is Rapunzel's just getting used to such bustle.]

Hey! Hey, Rapunzel!

[letdownmyhair]

[She turns at the sound of her name and, smiling a little, starts making her way over to the familiar face. Thank goodness she'd had the sense to braid her hair today; she really would've been in trouble otherwise.]

Kronk! You're okay!

[oh_icanfeelit]

[Oh ouch! She'd probably get hurt in the rush - but thankfully they're both all right!]

Yep! Takes more than an evacuation to scare ol' Kronk!

[He only gets really scared when monsters threaten to tear him limb from limb.]

[letdownmyhair]

[Her smile grows a little, an eyebrow quirking upward slightly in amusement, and then she takes a spot standing right next to him. Standing next to a teacher seems like the safer thing to do, after all.]

That's good... The teachers shouldn't get scared at times like this anyway, right?

[oh_icanfeelit]

[And Kronk's totally willing to play bodyguard for her. He keeps them walking in a rather ordered manner toward the path into town.]

Nah! Teachers never get scared....even when crocodiles're trying to bite you.

[Gulp!]

[letdownmyhair]

[Rapunzel makes sure never to fall out of earshot, clutching her belongings to her chest.]

Crocodile? Why would a crocodile be trying to bite you?

[oh_icanfeelit]

[She's making his life easier! So right now she's his favorite student ever.]

They wouldn't around here - but back home the guy who ruled the kingdom used to have a big moat filled with them.

[letdownmyhair]

[Hooray!! ♥]

'Used to'... So not anymore, right?

[oh_icanfeelit]

[He tries to keep an eye on her, just to make sure she doesn't drift too far into the rabble. A kid like Rapunzel - whom, he knows from his experience teaching her, can recognize a kettle but not an evil face - could get into trouble in a big city.]

Nah! Kuzco turned out to have a heart of gold!

[He whispers this part as if it's the sagest advice she'll ever receive.]

But his ego's made of diamonds!

[letdownmyhair]

[Rapunzel blinks, eyes wide.] Kuzco...? There was someone here before named Kuzco, I think...

[Her train of thought is derailed when Kronk's voice drops into a whisper, becoming wholly occupied with catching what he's saying.]

But that's not a bad thing, is it?

[oh_icanfeelit]

[Huh! That's news to Kronk.]

He never told me he was here before.

Nope. Unless you mess with his groove!

[letdownmyhair]

[A small frown tugs the corners of her lips downward, her eyebrows knitting together.] Oh... Maybe he... forgot.

[She shakes the thought off, turning back to Kronk with a fresh smile.]

I'll be careful not to do that, then!

[oh_icanfeelit]

[It, frankly, would be just like Kuzco to forget about everyone else back in his kingdom, especially if he managed to find a group of hangers-on to cater to his every whim. He, too, brightens up in response.]

If you ever see him, point him in my direction. We went to school together.
