Back To Africa

[Tarzan]

Feb 8th Year 1

It Had be a long time. To long since Tarzan had been back home. thought "Home" was technically in the jungles, not in the Savannah. But it was, as he thought close enough. Tarzan has spent a the bulk of his time in England, settling his father's old paperwork (not something he enjoyed to be sure) and spending time with Jane (that he really did enjoy.) Tarzan was called back to help with the freedom fighters. He knew not with whom to talk to or inform that he was there, so he found a tree and just sat for a bit. Honesty this "war" thing was pretty new to him and the only thing in his mind was protecting Jane and the rest of his "family."

Tarzan sat in the tree just collecting his thoughts, thinking about Terk and Tantor, wondering if they got thrown into this whole thing... or even if they were still alive...

[Rapunzel]

"Hello up there!" Rapunzel was standing beneath the shade of the tree gazing up into the bough where an unfamiliar man was. She took a stab in the dark, "Do you happen to be Tarzan?"

Rapunzel had volunteered to be the welcome party for the latest freedom fighter, but the problem was that she didn't know where he was or what he looked like. She had thought some one would introduce her to him but that was not the case. Something had gotten lost in communication and Rapunzel was left to hunt down the newcomer. When she spotted this new face, she decided to try her luck. While Rapunzel certainly didn't know every single person in camp, she did a decent job of keeping track. She had a good chance of this being who she was looking for. And if he wasn't? Well... oops.

[Tarzan]

Tarzan looked down on the the young woman. He hopped down from the tree, and walked up to her. "Yes. Yes I am. Are you the person I was supposed to meet?" She looked a little young, and inexperienced to be fighting but for all, but for all he knew, she could be special. Or something.


Either way it's great that he wasn't alone. Now he had at least some direction." Now, miss... Um I'm sorry, I didn't get your name." Tarzan extended his hand out to her.

[Rapunzel]

"Yep! Sorry I missed you earlier," Rapunzel laughed quietly and rocked back on her heels a bit, "I kinda misunderstood on whether or not I'd be picking you up, or if some one was going to introduce you to me. Oops!"

Tarzan was very lithe and graceful leaping from the tree, it was obvious that he was very comfortable moving about in the wilds. His near nakedness also became VERY apparent when he was closer to her. Rapunzel coughed and looked away, her face flushing. Until she had met Eugene she had never known any men, and then she met many more at the Snuggly Duckling. But everyone she had met had been pretty well clothed. Rapunzel had never really seen much of the male body. She hadn't even been able to look at the nude pictures in the art book her mot- Gothel had brought her once!!

"RAPUNZEL!" she coughed, "My name is Rapunzel. Iiiiit's nice to meet you."

She took his hand and shook it with a firm stiff arm gripped, standing arms length away from him.

[Tarzan]

"Well, hello Rapunzel. It's nice to meet you." Tarzan looked at Rapunzel and saw she was a little distracted. Tarzan walked closer to her and put his hand on her forehead to try and feel if she was sick. "Are you ok? Are you feeling Ill?"

He had a very worried expression on his face as he tried to determine if Rapunzel was ok. There was no one else around for a bit, at least thats the way he sensed it, and if she was sick she may need immediate medical attention. "Rapunzel, which way is the camp?"

[Grey Brother]

The man was dressed much like his brother was had this man been brought up by another wolf pack? Grey Brother approaches the tree looking up at the ape man, his lips pull in a thin line as he thinks for a moment before the shirtless man speaks to Rapunzel. “Camp is a mile or so that a way” he motions with his snout in the direction of said camp. “I’m Grey Brother, of the Seeonee wolf pack”

[Tarzan]

The animal in front of him was something he had never really interacted with before, though he did interact with the dogs of England, that probably would be a insult to refer to the wolf as one. "It is nice to meet you Grey Brother. I am Tarzan. but can we hold the finishing of the introductions until later? I think Rapunzel may be feeling unwell."

  Tarzan, without warning, picks up Rapunzel, surprised at how light she is and began to rush her back to the camp. " Don't worry, someone will be able to see whats wrong and help you out..."

[Grey Brother]

"It is nice to meet you Grey Brother. I am Tarzan. but can we hold the finishing of the introductions until later? I think Rapunzel may be feeling unwell."

The wolf was taken aback a little bit he cocks his head confused at the ape-man's words before glancing over at the woman who looked fine by all accounts.

"Um, i- okay? i'll talk to you back at the medical tent" he sputters out but at that point they were already headed back to camp leaving the young wolf in the dust. Puzzle Grey was Puzzled as he slowly follows after them.

[Tarzan]

Tarzan could hear the confusion in Grey brother's voice. Maybe the wolf wasn't skilled in seeing a human with they are ill? Whatever the reason, as he continued walking towards the camp Tarzan turned looked at Rapunzel. Not a few minutes ago, she was happy and talking now she a red quiet mess! what else could be wrong but her being ill?

Tarzan slowed his pace a bit to let Grey Brother catch up. "Grey Brother? who is the main physician for the camp? and who is the leader now that Simba has passed?" Tarzan decided to try to make the trip quicker if he spoke to the wolf, that and it allows him to get more information about the group.  two fish with one spear. "I have not heard a lot about the state of affairs while I was in England."

[Rapunzel]

"O-oh boy!" Rapunzel stuttered when Tarzan's hand touched her forehead. It wasn't necessarily his touch that made her stutter it was the proximity to the rest of him that was tripping her up. Rapunzel tried to take a little step back, and gesture towards camp, but Grey Brother beat her to it.

"MEEP!" Rapunzel out right squeaked when she found herself suddenly in Tarzan's arms. If the previous proximity flustered her, she was now flabbergasted. She felt her brain short circuit. It took a while for her to gather her thoughts back together.

"Woah, there!" she pressed her hands to his chest, then pulled them back as if burned. She wiggled and flailed to get free from his grip, "Hi! Hello! Me! I'm a physician! Well, medic!"

She managed to get free and then skipped back from Tarzan a bit, and held her hands up, "I'm okay Tarzan! Really!"

Rapunzel casually stepped next to Grey Brother, putting him between Tarzan and her, in case the fellow tried picking her up again, "You just really surprised me is all. But! I'm okay now!"
