The 5th Sundrop [video]

[Rapunzel looks absolutely miserable...she's pale, her nose is runny, and every time she tries to talk, she starts coughing and sneezing.

She groans a bit.]

What...what's wrong with me...? I...I've never felt like this before...

[She bursts into another coughing fit, which ends with several sneezes.]

Oh...oh dear, what was that...?


[As somebody who's never been sick before, she's scared and confused.]

You never 'ad a cold before? Or is it sommat worse you've got...?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

No, never...I've never been sick before in my whole life...

Do I have the plague? Am I gonna die?

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

You've never been sick...

S'prob'ly not the plague. Looks like it's just a cold. It don't last too long.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

So...I won't die. Okay.

...how bad can a cold be?

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

It's, um... You start out feelin' pretty awful, like 'ow you are, an' then...you stay like that for a bit, an' then you get better.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

But I'll get better?

Mother never said you get better...

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Well, y'do when it's a cold. An'......I......reckon she jus' forgot to. Or maybe y'don't 'ave colds where you're from?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I think we must...I've never been sick with anything before. And Mother only told me about the killer diseases...which seemed to be every one. I didn't know there were sicknesses you could get over...

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Well, that's colds. If it makes you feel any better, I've been sick loads o' times, an' I'm still alive!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Really?

[Why didn't Mother tell her not every disease out there was the plague?]

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I've 'ad worse too, an' I got better every time so I wouldn't worry too much, luv. Just make sure you sleep.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I will, thank you very much! Sorry about all the questions, though...

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

S'okay. I reckon I'd be worried too if I 'ad a cold an' I didn't know about them.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I wish Mother had told me about them. I thought every disease out there would kill you!

I'll ask Flynn about the ones that don't kill you...he's worldly.

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

I reckon he'd know better about the ones in your world.....what d'you mean, though, worldly?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Well, he's traveled and been places...and he's probably done things and met people, so he'd know these things!

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Oh....yeah. You're right, 'e prob'ly does.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

So I can just ask him!

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Yeah. If there's colds in your world, he'll know about 'em.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I'll ask him. Thank you, Chris!

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. I 'ope y'feel better soon.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you very much!
