[given the fact that this is rapunzel, she naturally will be receiving the loudest but prettiest flower crown that jae-ha manages to get his hands on during the tournament.
and for pascal, he offers up a small little picked daisy]
[ pascal takes the daisy with a proud nod and clutches it, changing colors to match it. yes, perfect!!! ]
[ rapunzel's still not in the best of shape, physically or emotionally, but she smiles when she sees him approach, though it turns a little perplexed when he deposits the crown on her head. ]
Aww... for me? You shouldn't have.
[ she takes it off for a second to get a better look at the floral monstrosity and sniffs it. ]
[ rapunzel, when not with yasusada, heads to the kitchen to make a cup of hot cocoa. except she's not actually making the cup of hot cocoa, instead he's staring off into the distance and sighing. ]
[ honestly she's so frustrated it's hard to outright lash out, but him saying that reminds her of eugene and it takes out all the anger air out of her sails. ]
I'm not good company right now, Jae-ha. I'm upset.
For Yasusada, yeah. [ but the truth is, she doesn't want to be alone, either. ] But if you want to help me figure out what to cook for him.... we could do that.
[ rapunzel gives him a faint smile back because she knows he's trying to be positive and wants to do the same -- but it's hard, with how everything's been going down. and varian especially. ]
Do you really think there's anything we can do from here?
[ she'd like to believe so but she feels pretty powerless lately. ]
We'll take the answers that we have and disperse them - and help them figure out how to make their choices. It takes coordination from here, and communication. They're all hurting up there... so anything we can do to soothe some of those feelings so that they can think clearly is important.

Beautiful!
Just the thing you needed, if you ask me.
[no one asked you, jae-ha]

but even at her expression, jae-ha doesn't falter. he'll just reach out for one of her hands as he gives her a smile.]
It suits you beautifully.
How are you feeling today?
no subject
Well, it's beautiful, Jae-ha, I appreciate you going through the trouble.
[ she's plopping it back on her head now! ] I... I'm alright now. Thank you.
[ pascal, after squeaking appreciatively at jae-ha, climbs up on rapunzel's head to give her a few comforting pats. ]
no subject
You're welcome.
Now how about a hug?
[not necessarily for his efforts, but he'll use the excuse seeing as it seems like she needs one]
no subject
Well, you do deserve it after all that effort.
>[ it's slow going but she half flops into his arms and half hugs. ]
Hey, did you get a crown for yourself?
Week 3, Post-Trial
[ approach, jae-ha, y/n? ]
no subject
he's going to approach her with something hidden behind his back. lucky for everyone, he's wearing a shirt for this conversation.]
... mind if I join you?
no subject
If you want to.
no subject
[A sweet, sweet truth.]
How are you feeling?
no subject
I'm not good company right now, Jae-ha. I'm upset.
[ well, it's the truth. ]
no subject
[Rapunzel, of all people in the castle, didn't deserve any of this.]
... were you making something? I'll have some with you, if you'll have me.
no subject
[ since obviously she's spacing out. ]
And, Jae-ha? Can I ask you something?
week 6, sunday
... at the very least, we have a bit more company - more heads to put together, right?
no subject
Do you really think there's anything we can do from here?
[ she'd like to believe so but she feels pretty powerless lately. ]
no subject
[That much he says with certainty.]
