I think so, but, I need help. My hands... [He might hear the sound, then, of metal dragging over stone. A heavy clinking sound. Chain links. She's not attached to anything but she certainly can't do much right at that moment.]
[He is already out of bed, pulling on his clothes with the quick efficiency of someone who is used to late-night wake-up calls, but he hears the sound loud and clear just the same.]

[Rapunzel wants to say thank you, but it feels out of place at that exact moment. But she's grateful for his certainty, and even though she would have gladly asked for Naruto's, Edward's, Sakura's, Alphonse's-- any of her friends, really, but especially her housemates' help she just felt like calling Reborn first was the right thing to do. She didn't want to freak the others out showing up suddenly in this state.]
I think the place that used to be the Luminar. I'm at the top.
[He is already prepared and heading out the door by the time she responds. He keeps the device on, as if afraid to lose the tenuous connection.]

[He contemplates as he runs, wondering what would be the best way to keep her mind off of things; it's clear that this is related to her disappearance, likely that something had happened at home.
Unfortunately, he can think of many horrible explanations for that.]
Thank you. [Pascal can probably be heard making reassuring noises, putting the the phone aside. As for Rapunzel, she's not really going anywhere, but she does manage to shift enough to sit up, only relaxing some when she can hear his footsteps drawing closer with something of an echo.]
