[So now there's a very confused and frightened young woman sitting in an alley and cradling...her hair. Her very very long hair that covers most of the ground. and...is she singing? Yes, yes she is, but it's very fast and frantic and probably hard to make out.]

Flowergleamandglow, letyourpowershine, maketheclockreverse, bringbackwhatoncewasmine... Why isn't it working?

[She seems to be yelling at her hair and getting a little hysterical...]

It's all here, none of it was cut off, and Eugene didn't have anything to cut it with anyway, and he knew it wouldn't work if he did, so he didn't, right?

[She drops the hair in her lap in favor of covering her face.]

Mother was right, I never should've left...I'm so lost...

...Mother... Mother! Mother, are you there? Eugene! Pascal!

...Anybody?

Was it...really difficult? Getting used to it, I mean.

Perhaps a little, at first. But after a bit of time it wasn't so hard.

I see.

[She ponders something for a moment.]

Do you know anyone who...cuts hair?

[A quiet laugh. He'd never really seen anyone with hair quite that long, but that seemed like a good priority.]

I don't know anyone that specializes in it, sadly. If you just want it shorter and a little easier to manage, I think I could attempt that.

[Knights of Fianna: Good. At. Everything.]

[She smiles at his laugh. She knew how people tended to react to her hair.]

I could manage it perfectly back home, but that's because I needed it. Here...it doesn't have a purpose anymore.

You really wouldn't mind?

I doubt it'd be any trouble at all. Can you meet me at the hotel, or would it be easier if I came to find you? Considering you're new to the city, I mean.

I think it'd be quicker if you found me. Could you show me the way to the hotel afterwards?

Easy enough. Can you tell me anything specific about your location?

Umm...I'm near some place called Felix's Finds, if you know where that is.

Actually, I know exactly where that is. If you'll wait just a bit, I can be there shortly.

Great! I'll see you later, then.

I'll be there momentarily.

[Which he was about ten minutes later, all smiles and cheerful and whatnot.]

Rapunzel?

[She stood up, a bit fidgety and nervous.]

Hello. Diarmuid, right?

That's right. Don't worry--I can't say this city is paradise exactly, but you're safe enough with me.

I trust you.

[No, it's the life-altering hair cut that she's worried about.]

So...how are you gonna cut it?

How--? People these days often use scissors, don't they? If I don't have those, I suppose I could use a blade of some sort.

Scissors, right. I've never done this before, so...this is really new to me.

[Wow, does she feel silly.]

I kind of gathered that you'd never done it before. [He glanced at her hair, smiling faintly.]

It's impractical, but I can't deny that it does look nice.

I used to need it. It was...really important.

Oh...I'm sorry. You must have lost whatever made it particularly special, then.

Yeah.

[She started to gather up her hair, which is a feat in and of itself.]

Er...do you need some help with that?

Sure. I think if we each take about half, this should work.

Of course. That seems easy enough.
