Rapunzel has been waiting for her mun to have time to play for a long time! That time has arrived; Rapunzel is sitting at the bar (with a flimsy excuse for her absence in the bar of late), staring at her plate with bemusement. Her eggs are slightly runny, and her toast is slightly burnt. Her bacon looks fine, and it all arranged in a happy face on her plate.

“Okay.” She sips her coffee to find it perfect and smiles in gratitude, patting the glossy wood. “Thank you, love.”

She sets about eating her breakfast, wondering what she should do with her day. She’s open for suggestions.

Allie looks up from her newest thick black book--on universal anatomy--to see someone she's never quite stopped looking for everyday even as the days had passed away, and starts grinning almost instantly as she gets out of her chair wandering over.

"My favorite part is the bacon," Allie says with a grin. "She always makes it the perfect way."

[longlonghair]

Her smile is instantaneous

"Hello, darling!"

She opens her arms to the girl, offering a hug.

"How have you been?"

[grandsuccess.livejournal.com]

Allie is always up for being hugged, and she hugs back happily, looking up with a big grin at the question.

"I am good. There was this super big game of hide-n-seeks with all the kids in the Bar a few days ago and it was amazing! And Alex has offered, if the others are interested, to teach us how to play baseball, too!"

[longlonghair]

"I'm sorry I missed that!"

She didn't know there were that many kids around, but she is glad to hear it, for Allie's sake.

"You must me talking about my Alex. He loves baseball."

[grandsuccess.livejournal.com]

"Yes, your Alex. I met him recently." This is said with the brightness of only children. Like somehow it is the success of a long arduous quest. "And he said that baseball was much cooler than soccer." And this is said as though he is quite insane and she is sage about soccer. "But we came to an agreement and he'll coach us and teach us to play!"

[longlonghair]

"That sounds like fun! I think soccer is great, too. Maybe you could find someone to coach a team for that, too. It would be nice to have something like that around here. The kids could challenge the adults, or something."

"I was a goalie back on Earth. We used to practice twice each week and there was a new game during the season every two weeks," Allie says brightly. "I am going to leave a letter asking people to play both. George said he'd play soccer when I mentioned it could be a rough sport, after the hide-n-seek."

Someone about to enter the Bar has many, many suggestions, some of which are suitable for public consumption. Someone who hasn't seen Rapunzel in far too long.

"Raps!" Alex spots Rapunzel as he enters from his world, and practically runs to her.

[longlonghair]

"Alex!" She laughs at how quickly he makes his way to her. "Where's the fire?"

[gotham-knocking.livejournal.com]

He grabs her for a hug, and smiles. "Should I answer that in public?" He of course proceeds to kiss her.

"Been too long. Damned Bar didn't give me a door for a month."

[longlonghair]

She kisses him back, fervently.

"Oh, dear! What's the date? Did I sleep that long?!?!"

[gotham-knocking.livejournal.com]

He finally pasues to catch his breath, and to calculate the date. "It's August 6 at home, so...June 6 here. D-Day.

"Sleep? Did I miss something and you started to copy some of your fellow Fables?"

[longlonghair]

"I'm not sure. I was out in the gardens, and picked--or stole, if you prefer--some of these gorgeous flowers to put in my room. I took them up and put them in a vase, leaned down to smell them, and the next thing I knew, I was waking up with a headache, and the flowers looked like they'd been dead a week."

She has come to the conclusion that she must have accidentally chosen blooms from the magical section.

"How... interesting."

Telemain peers at her meal over her shoulder, distracted by the arrangement.

"Ah, excuse me. I was just... how fascinating?"

[longlonghair]

"That my breakfast is looking at me, you mean?"

She looks at the man, pretty sure she has never met him before.

"It is a bit strange."

[not-a-wizard.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry for interrupting."

He settles into a bar seat nearby.

"I simply glanced and was taken aback. Having encountered a talking plant a few days ago..."

But it is just food, isn't it?

[longlonghair]

"That's a new one; I haven't seen one of those before."

If it isn't food, at least it doesn't cry out in pain when she begins cutting into it with her fork.

"Bar has a sense of humor, so it doesn't surprise me, much. Are you new around here?"

[not-a-wizard.livejournal.com]

"Not precisely. Merely rarely about. However, I'm doing some work for one of the patrons, so my presence has been increasingly common the last few days."

Now that there's magic envolved, it's interesting.

[longlonghair]

"You must have a regular door, then. I've been bound from the moment I got here."

She is not particularly upset about it.

"What sort of work do you do?"

[inquisitivehero]

"Morning, Rapunzel!"

It has been awhile, indeed.

[longlonghair]

"Good morning..."

her automatic greeting trails off as she gets a look at who was talking to her. He looks so familiar, but she thinks she'd remember meeting someone so blue.

"Have we met?"

[inquisitivehero]

"Oh, right... it has been a while, hasn't it."

He sighed.

"It's me, Rapunzel, Henry McCoy. I have been through a few... changes."

[longlonghair]

"Henry!"

Her smile turns from polite to genuine as recognition sinks in. She decides that tact may be called for, and leans over to give him a brief hug.

"I didn't recognise you right side up! How are you?"

[inquisitivehero]

He smiled at her and hugged her.

"I am well, these days. And you? How have you been?"

[longlonghair]

"I've been asleep for a while...a long while, apparently. I think I chose the wrong flowers to steal from the gardens. They put me to sleep once I got them to my room, and I didn't wake up until after they'd died."
