She kept you there because she's controlling and abusive, Tim bites back. He can understand the need to protect someone with an ability like this - there were people who would want to use it for their own gains, but permanent lockdown was not the solution.

Tim stares at her as she explains the obscene length of her hair. That it will change color is immaterial; this is not the time for vanity. But losing a healing ability like that in a battleground isn't a good option - isn't any option, really, because it's the only advantage Rapunzel has. It's a pity that it's all tied up in her worst liability.

Tied up. Henh. Tim shoves Rapunzel's hair into her arms. "Okay, I've got an idea. What if we just ball it up into some cloth and tie it up? You'd still be dragging it out behind you, but it wouldn't be fanning out like a veil. I have a knife that we can use, if you want to try it."
