Mister Iroh? I'm really sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to come in to work today...I'm not exactly feeling too well.

I'm really sorry...I just need one day, and then I'll be feeling right as rain, I promise.

Thanks...I promise, this won't happen again.

[And as Rapunzel turns off the text part of her message, she accidentally turns on the video part, revealing that, no, she's nor right as rain at all. She looks like she's been crying nonstop for the past few days or so, and once she's done with her message, she quietly puts the device down and leans against her door, sniffling.]

...I don't even know why I'm crying. I'm mad, I should be really mad, but I'm crying...I shouldn't be doing that...

[She sniffles some more as Pascal and Ishamel come up to try and comfort her...]


...heh...thanks, you two...I just don't know what to think right now...I mean, what am I going to do with that?

[She gestures over to a plastic cup she's painted gold and covered with big plastic rhinestones. She made you a trophy, Flynn. Just like you wanted.]

...he doesn't deserve it. He lied to me...but he wasn't doing it to be mean...


...maybe mother was right. Maybe I shouldn't have ever left...

I...dunno if you are, luv. [And then he tries to apply his rather shaky knowledge of women to the situation.] D'you want some......ice cream.....maybe?

...ice cream sounds nice...

After a confused and overwhelmed half hour in the ice cream section of the supermarket (WHAT DO ALL THESE FLAVOURS MEAN), Chris shows up at Rapunzel's flat again with a carton of some sort of chocolatey chocolate explosion of brownie chocolate death cookie crumble bonanza. Or something of that sort. He knocks on the door, and then feels obliged to add, "It's Chris!" called through the door like a password. This is probably him growing as a person. He would have used to AVOID birds when they got like this.

[Rapunzel comes to the door, bunny on one shoulder, chameleon on the other. Her eyes are red and she's still clearly upset, but she smiles a little at Chris.]

Hi, Chris...

Hi, Rapunzel. [He holds the ice cream out in front of him like a sort of shield.] I brought this. And...hang on.

[He only owns two movies, so whether or not this is a betrayal of something or not, for better or worse, he ONLY HAS TWO MOVIES. So he's brought A Hard Day's Night which is what he is taking out of his jacket pocket now whilst cradling the carton in his other arm.] I brought a film.

[She can't help but smile. Oooh, ice cream and movies...Chris is the best friend EVER!!]

Oh, Chris...thank you...

[It's what Lucy used to cheer up so therefore it must work for all birds. :|d]

S'not a problem. [He hands the ice cream to Rapunzel after some juggling and then something occurs to him.] You do 'ave a telly, don't you? An' a....disc playin' thing?

Okay...c'mon, then.

[He sort of...works out where it is based on sitting room stereotyping and with a certain amount of exceedingly careful fumbling and searching around, manages to get the disc into the DVD player and loading.]

This's...about that friend o' yours, in't it?

He is returnin' all the stuff. [Chris is searching for the remote and not watching Rapunzel.] I mean, we'd 'ave 'im locked up otherwise, but he is returnin' it.

...he is...?

[That makes her a little more hopeful, but...]

...He still lied to me, though. I trusted him, and he lied to me...

[Chris swallows. He's a nice bloke but something feels a bit off here. Cheering her up is one thing, entirely other is--]

You....fancy this bloke, then?

From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
...Honestly? I don't know.

He's the first person outside of the tower I've ever met! And I like him. But I like a lot of people here...having friends is confusing, sometimes.

...I like you too, Chris.

From: [identity profile] justcautious.livejournal.com
Yeah? Well that's somethin'. [He pauses, and then goes over to the sofa to sit, watching her, just short of actually patting the seat beside him.] I like you too...too.

[The DVD is starting to go through its disc opening bits, and although he doesn't know how to skip it, he manages to mute the tv anyway. All he needs to do is keep being a better guy than Flynn, he figures, with this bird, and it isn't hard, apparently. Copper vs. thief. Probably not a contest...unless she goes for the bad boy sort of thing... He hopes she doesn't.]

[She still looks pretty sad...but she smiles at him anyway. She doesn't know what sort of type she goes for right now...but she likes Chris. And...she also likes Flynn. This will be a problem in the future.]

So...what film is this?

S'A Hard Day's Night. Sort of...a music film, I s'pose. [Not a musical. Musicals are for poofs and he is not actually Rapunzel's sympathetic gay friend. :|] Might not make sense but we can pause it if it don't, I reckon, an' you need t' ask sommat. Oh...um, and I didn't bring spoons for that, by the way.

From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
Oh, I like music! Do they play guitar?

[She can play guitar!! This makes her happy! Well...it makes her less sad.]

You don't mind pausing it for questions? Really?

...I can go get spoons, if you want. And, well, thank you again, Chris. It's really sort of nice, having somebody like you as a friend.

Date: 2011-02-20 01:02 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] justcautious.livejournal.com
Yeah, two of 'em do. An' I've seen it before, so it's better you understandin' it, really.

Spoons'd be fab, really, better'n eatin' it with your 'ands I reckon. [He laughs a bit weakly.] M'glad y' think so, luv.

From: [identity profile] tangledintower.livejournal.com
Well, still...I know it's not always something people like, being interrupted for lots of questions...

[She grabs spoons and comes back.]

I mean it! You're a really nice guy, Chris, and a good friend. I'm glad I met you.

action;

Date: 2011-02-21 04:22 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] justcautious.livejournal.com
Yeah, I know too.

[Chris is trying to work her out. "Nice guy" doesn't sound hopeful. And is the repetition of the word "friend" pointed? Oh well. He signed up for ice cream and movie so ice cream and movie it is.]

Me too. Y' want me t' start it?

[That smile on her face, and that genuine nice look in her eyes, shows that no, she's not trying to be mean or pointed. She's being honest.]

Yes, please...

From: [identity profile] justcautious.livejournal.com
[...well, Chris is a sucker for those eyes.] Alright. [There's a bit of button-searching but he manages to press play, and then put down the remote, turning his gaze to try and surreptitiously watch Rapunzel.]
