[At first, Rapunzel doesn't realize who it is that's come to her rescue. She sees a figure, and she hears a muffled voice yelling, but the ice and the water make it sound like she's got cotton stuffed in her ears, and her senses are fading fast. Everything feels heavy, and she just wants to rest...
No. No. She can't rest. That's the last thing you're supposed to do when you're hurt - rest means giving in, and Rapunzel can't let herself give in now, so far from home! So when there's a muffled crack above her and a few chunks of ice crack away, the princess surges forward, trying to at least fit her mouth and nose past the surface of the lake.]
H-H-Help....
[It's barely a shuddering wheeze, but it's a sign of life. As is the shaking, pained breath she takes right after, finally filling her lungs with much-needed oxygen.]
