WHO: all
WHERE: all
WHEN: Day 9, evening into night

[the sun goes down; the two moons rise.

it all looks...quite different. the laundromat lengthens and transforms the silhouette of Woolietown in the distance. the lighthouse beacon comes to life for the first time, throwing strong, brilliant light and stark shadows across the meadow and into the barns. the lazy river encircles the pasture in a glittering band, the bobbing shapes of the pool toys a little bit eerie until they drift into full view.

perhaps some of you are winding down. perhaps some of you are just gearing up for a wild adventure in the shadows. perhaps some of you, regardless of if you sleep or stay up, find your dreams and nightmares crawling out beyond the bounds of your own head tonight, drawing others in...

the night is full of possibilities.]

( the princess is quiet, before her shoulders fall. )

I don't know. I never considered life without her. All of this is so strange and overwhelming.

... I would... like adults that I can trust to not hurt me. And to not ever go back to the castle. I know that much.

[a small, thoughtful noise...he'll lower himself to sitting instead of standing awkwardly, here, if nothing stops him]

Most of that's beyond my own control. But I'll offer you a moment's candid honesty, if you like.

[takes a deep breath, thinking, and lets it out.]

Unless you have not told me something -- and if so, I am making assumptions here, and apologize -- you are human. You are young, and quite mortal, and quite vulnerable.

But if you take something from me, let it be this. You are also stronger than you think. Everything objectionable and bad that you will encounter in your life, no matter how impossible it seems when you are caught in the thick of it, is fallible. There is a way to surmount it. That way may not intristically lie within yourself -- it is important that you not fall into the trap of solving all your problems alone, that you find those others who will help and not hurt you. However, there is a power simply in looking at these obstacles, and saying 'no.' If you take that step, and continue to take it, everything can go from there.
