[ Yes, yes we know. That's a lot of hair. Rapunzel's trying to set the pad up in such a way she can prop it up and talk to you all that way. It's a little difficult, but she manages, with the help of one (1) Pascal. ]

Thanks, Pascal.

Hi! Um. Hello? I'm not sure how formal we're being on here. But! I have a question, and I would've posted it on the board, but it's sort of...a weird request, I guess.

Does anyone know how to braid? Really well? I mean, a lot of people know how to braid, but are also pretty good at lifting things? Sometimes my hair gets pretty heavy.

I just am having a hard time getting around town, and I've even tripped a few people! Maybe not a great thing to tell everyone, I know, but...

It'd be really wonderful if you could help! I'm willing to bake, I have a few trees you can help yourself from, ummm.

I'm also looking for paint.

[ She turns the camera to her pretty bare and bland looking walls. ]

Because these need a lot more color on them. I can paint for you as well, if you'd like! Please let me know.

Well, uh. It was nice talking to you!

Oh, never heard of a druid? [he's a bit surprised by that, most everybody he'd met so far had at least some understanding of druidic magic. Even if they hadn't understood the Springtide in specific, they understood the broad strokes. Not that he minds giving a short summary]

We dedicate our lives to magic and the control of natural forces. I specialize in healing magic and work as a doctor. If you're ever ill or hurt, feel free to find me. Or if you know of someone in need, I can go their way. [he chuckles just slightly at her enthusiasm, it's quite charming. His new best friend, huh? That's not something he'd turn down, he did enjoy companionship.]

You'll have to be patient with me, I might grow distant as I work. Not the best for conversation, if get caught up in the task. [meditation isn't the best activity for entertaining company, he realizes....]

Wow, that’s...so incredible. I didn’t think so many other people would have such powerful magic.

I can heal too! But it’s...probably not as cool as your healing is.

Oh I see. Well, as long as me humming, or painting, or reading doesn’t annoy you, then we should be just fine. If it does then I’m sure we could be best friends anyways, just with less braiding.

[ Princess ‘I’d love to have friends’ Rapunzel. ]

Oh, that reminds me, what can I give you in return?

No need for anything in return, I should be glad for the company. [he'll leave it as simple as that. Of course... if she decided to bake something, he wouldn't say no to a delicious treat, but asking is improper. A druid didn't act kindly with expectation of reward... or, they weren't supposed to. Silas always took that bit of their creed very seriously, even if others he knew did not.]

Well! Then I'll just have to whip something up for you instead!

[ She ponders for a moment, maybe a candle or something. ]

Do druids like candles?

[He would normally be quick to say no, but... a lantern outside his farm might be of use to the community. If he had something like that to light, it could mark if he was home, if anybody was in need of him. Especially at short notice, someone in need of healing could surely benefit.]

A candle would be perfect. If you could perhaps spare a lantern to house it, I would put it to good use.

[ Her face lights up faster than a Christmas Tree. ]

If I could spare a lantern? You're asking the right girl!!

[ She's been trying to perfect her paper lantern technique for years under her mother's nose, so this is just awesome in her opinion. ]

[the enthusiasm is contagious, he can't help but feel he landed on some specialty of hers. He grins and laughs along, his longer bottom teeth flashing with his honest grin.]

W, well, I'm very glad, then! It sounds like an ideal arrangement. I will head over after my next visit to the clinic. Which farm would be yours?

That sounds perfect.

It's, uh...Well, you'll know it when you see it, I guess? Just look for the window, usually after a bath, my hair's outside to dry! Don't wanna braid dirty hair after all.

Goodness, it really is that long, isn't it. Well, I'll be up to the challenge, if you have the patience. I will try to find you and your hair shortly... [He needed to visit the clinic and inquire about any others who may be in need of him. Without any word on the sick or ailing, he can head around to the woman's home.

Oh dear, he hadn't introduced himself at all. Not that is felt all that appropriate through a... strange magic mirror. Silas still cannot tell the difference between magic and technology, assuming it's a blurry mess here regardless. When he spots some blonde hanging out a window, he'll approach. A gentle wrap of his knuckles on the door, to get her attention. He really hopes to have not caught her too early, how long would it even take to wash all that hair?]

[ She has barely enough time to wash it, there's a loooooong river of it, just floating outside her window. Luckily there's a soft breeze to help it along.

Punzie's just so excited to meet her newest friend, so forgive her if she's camping out at the window. ]

Hi!! Oh, hello!

[ Stumbling to the door, here she is, in all her princessy glory. ]

It's wonderful to meet you finally! I'm Rapunzel. I forgot to even tell you, didn't I?

A pleasure to meet you in person. I'm Silas, Druid of the Springtide. My apologies for such a late introduction. [he'll give a short bow of his head in apology, before offering a gloved hand to shake. Always quick with touch, not one to linger on it.]

There really is no exaggerating the length. Hopefully I can aid in getting it to a more... manageable state.

Silas! The pleasure is all mine, I promise.

[ Handshake. Oh yeah! Handshakes, totally normal. ]

No, it's uh. It's a big deal! It gets everywhere, but it's useful, most of the time.

Come on in!

[ Her farm isn't...quite developed just yet, but the inside has already seemed to take off a bit. There's some homemade decor, a knitting basket, some homemade candles, and other little crafty things to keep her busy. Not too many knock knacks just yet, but what hair isn't dangling out the window is strewn into the rafters. ]

[the farm house is quaint and inviting. Rapunzel's hair flung up around the rafters is intimidating to consider, but he's resolved. Curiously, he'll inquire... because really, why keep hair so long. Nobody would do so simply for the novelty, right? Which leaves some kind of curse or magic, he assumes.]

May I ask why you keep your hair so long? Given your apparent youth, I have to assume it was magic that made it grow to such lengths at all.
