## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

Lucy comes back from the outside where she just met Tatsuyah and had a brief chat.

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

Gabriel is in the common room watching Tangled. His knees are hugged to his chest as he stares with rather wide eyes

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

"Is that Tangled?" Lucy asks, recognizing it as she passes by.

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

Gabriel jumps and turns the T.V. off looking guilty

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

"Why did you turn it off? Tangled's my favorite movie!" Lucy says.

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

"I'm not supposed to watch stuff without Papa..." he mutters, curling in on himself further

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

"Well, I think that's a bad rule, just like no eating cupcakes." Lucy says. "Beside, he isn't here, he won't know."

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

"You shouldn't do bad things just because people won't know."

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

"But how do you know things are bad?" Lucy asks.

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

"Well, Papa doesn't let you eat cupcakes and he hurt you." Lucy says. "I don't think your papa knows what's good or bad."

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

Gabriel frowns and looks down. He hands the remote to Lucy. "Will you turn it back on?"

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

Lucy sits down next to Gabriel. "Yes I will." She says. Mr Kibbles comes and sits down on her lap, as swell as Gabriel's. "Puppy!"

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

"Is he bothering you? I know he can get kind of heavy." Lucy says.

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

Gabriel shakes his head.

The movie turns on, the movie is right after the "I've got a dream" song... "Lucy?"

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

"Yeah?" She turns her head toward Gabriel

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

"Is it bad that I don't have a dream? Like all the people in the song.?"

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

Lucy takes a moment to think. "I don't think that's bad, I think you just haven't found yours yet." She says with a smile. "I didn't know mine until a few months ago."

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

Gabriel smiles at her

Before turning back to the movie

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

Mr Kibbles turns around, begging for belly rubs. Lucy gives him some while focusing on the movie. "You know, if you ever want to talk, about what happened to you, about your papa, you can come to me, okay?"

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

Gabriel looks at her a little confused but nods eventually

At the end of the film, when Mother Gothel dies Gabriel starts crying and doesn't stop even when the movie ends. He is quiet and small about it but it is still clear

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

Gabriel tries to stop crying, "sorry. I'm sorry."

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

Lucy gives him a hug. "Hey, there's nothing to be sorry for." She says, gently holding him

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

Gabriel let's her hug him, but doesn't make a move to hug her back

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

"Everything's okay, it'll be okay." She says.

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

"Was... was the mother bad?" He eventually asks, calming down

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

"She was." Lucy says. "She said she loved Rapunzel, but when you really love someone you do everything to make them happy, even if sometimes that's not what makes you happy. I think you really love Papa... But did papa love you the same way?"

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

"He said... he said..." Gabriel starts crying more

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

Lucy holds Gabriel, "It's okay, you don't have to hold it in."

## Kali the Heterophobe09/03/2018

Mr Kibbles licks Gabriel's face gently in support(edited)

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/03/2018

Gabriel pats his head, slightly confused

## Kali the Heterophobe09/04/2018

"I won't let anything bad happen to you again, okay?" Lucy says.

## Kali the Heterophobe09/04/2018

"Do you want to watch something else?" Lucy asks Gabriel. "It can be anything you want."

## Kali the Heterophobe09/04/2018

Lucy takes the remote again and puts Lilo & Stich on. "This one is my favorite, Tangled is a very close second."

## Ezra the Floofmaster09/04/2018

Gabriel wipes his eyes and settles in to watch the movie

## Kali the Heterophobe09/04/2018

Lucy gently. takes hold of Gabriel's hand. "Do you mind if I do this?"
