[It's like trying to talk to a skittish horse. No sudden moves, a soft, soothing voice... they're all on the same page here, and that helps even Rapunzel's jittering nerves. They can do it. He'll be okay.]

Not her magic, but a sense of understanding; if Varian's mind hasn't totally been taken over by the beast, he might know why Rapunzel understands. She's familiar with the loss of someone so cherished, the feeling of uncertainty closing in around you like a vice...] But you know, don't you? You know that things can be okay, even when everything looks dark.

[She holds her arms out, equal parts looking like she's asking for a hug and a gesture for him to get closer.]

Remember back home? Everything worked out there. Everything is okay in Corona. And it will be here, too.
