[When Rapunzel appears on the screen there is a smile on her face, but her brow is furrowed just enough to give off an air of concern.]

I hope everyone had a good holiday. I've never really celebrated anything like that before, so it was really fun to experience. I've never made gifts for so many people, either. I hope everyone liked them. If you don't, I'd understand though.

[She pauses, and because Rapunzel doesn't know how to filter anything yet:]

Um, I'm looking for Isaac, Derek or Lydia? I found a gift from Stiles at my door...but he didn't come in to say hello. I haven't seen him in several days now. I understand if he's busy and I just haven't seen him, but I want to make sure he was okay. I know the three of you are from the same place, so I thought maybe he would have talked to you? I've tried calling and stopping by his suite. He hasn't answered either. So please, if you could just let me know that he's okay, that would be enough. Thank you.

[ooc: if your character has had even just one conversation with Rapunzel then they likely received a knitted gift; either mittens, a hat, or scarf.]

I'd thought about that...but he left me a gift just yesterday, so I think me must still be here.

[supremefaith]

That's always possible if it was only yesterday. Does he disappear from time to time on his own?

[watcheslanterns]

Not that I know of? But I haven't known him all that long either...so maybe.

[supremefaith]

I know that when I'm under stress or am having difficulty with something I'll make it a point to take a retreat. He wasn't acting strange or anything, huh?

[watcheslanterns]

His best friend was here before...but he's gone now. I think maybe he could still be upset about that.

[supremefaith]

Sometimes people retreat when they're sad...maybe he's just having a difficult time?

[watcheslanterns]

Maybe. If that's the case, I just wish there was something I could do.

[supremefaith]

You could be ready for him when the time comes and he feels like coming out again...you know...if he has a favorite food here or something. Keeping the mood light...

[watcheslanterns]

Mm. Those sound like good ideas. I'll do what I can when he's ready.

[supremefaith]

Good luck! Oh...and sorry, I never did introduce myself! I'm Makoto...or Mako, either one is fine.

[watcheslanterns]

It's nice to meet you, Makoto. I'm Rapunzel.
