redford had been walking for as far as his feet could take him. the scenery around him began to change and noises around him started to seem a bit more whimsical. his mind was full of meditation thoughts that kept him from noticing too many differences in the area. as soon as he felt like the next few steps would cause him to crumble, he glanced up and snapped out of his trance. the colors of this place covered the entire spectrum. not a color left out. fairies circled his long body and a frog with a crown hopped around nearby before darting into the bushes. a small smile spread across his lips as he gazed around the wonders he had entered. a floral covered log lay nearby and he slowly took his weary steps over before sitting, a brilliant white rabbit hopped out from within and approached redford with curiosity. he held an outstretched hand to offer peace toward the animal.

Rapunzel was wandering through the forest, trusty frying pan securely in hand and her chameleon Pascal on her shoulder. It was a beautiful day outside and it lifted her spirits to be in a place of such vibrant color. Her feet were bare and the grass tickled her toes. As she approached a clearing, she noticed a person sitting on a log. She had been told to watch out for thugs and ruffians, but this person didn't look like either. And he was petting a bunny, which Rapunzel now knew was not dangerous. Still, she approached the man with some trepidation. Maybe he could help her look for Flynn...?
"Hello," Rapunzel said cautiously, taking Flynn's wanted poster out of the pocket of her skirt. "Have you by any chance seen - "
But before she could complete her sentence, Pascal jumped off her shoulder and ran over to the man, scurrying up his leg and onto his shoulder. "Pascal, stop it!" Rapunzel said, running over beside the man to retrieve the little animal.

a timid voice startled him and he turned his head quickly, the rabbit hopping away due to being startled. a girl stood before him. quite beautiful. her hair was longer than he could see. it went all the way back into the forest. he was a bit taken aback just as the rabbit was. he couldn't really wrap his brain around what was happening especially when the little chameleon running up his leg. he turned his head to the side and saw him standing there. as soon as she protested her displeasure with the little animal running over to him and came over, redford finally found his mind and stood up to be polite. it was always customary to stand when a woman was first present. his legs could only take a second of his full height before they buckled beneath him, causing him to sit once more. "i am so sorry." he said softly for both for sitting and for causing the attention of her little friend.

"Oh, don't worry about it," Rapunzel said with a smile. "He keeps running away from me. After so many years in that tower with me he's probably sick of me by now..." She scooped up the little chameleon and put him back on her shoulder, glaring at Pascal as sternly as she could manage before turning her attention back to the man. "I'm Rapunzel. I'm sorry to bother you, but my friend Flynn went missing a while back, and I was wondering if you've seen him?" She held up Flynn's wanted poster. "This is pretty much what he looks like, but they keep getting his nose wrong. Everybody keeps saying he just took the tiara back from me and then ran away, but I don't believe he would do that." A sad look passed over her face as she recalled the last meeting between her and her friend. Rapunzel sat down in the lush grass, the front part of her hair falling over her eyes. "Even though he's a thief, he's a good man. Or at least he was good to me." She didn't know why she was just pouring her heart out to a total stranger like this. Maybe because she was so frustrated that everything in her little adventure outside the tower seemed to have gone horribly wrong.

he wasn't really following what she was saying about the tower, the tiara, and the thief, he nodded just the same. his mind was desperately trying to keep up with her words, but he was lost. the only thing he knew to help her with was looking at the poster. he looked at it for a moment and shook his head, feeling like a fool for not standing properly and needing to sit back down in the presence of a lady. "i'm sorry, but i haven't seen him. he has your tiara and hasn't come back? where did you lose him last?" he wondered, trying to fix up the pieces that were missing from understanding what the adorable girl was saying.

"Well, it's not my tiara, it wasn't even his tiara," Rapunzel explained. "Flynn stole it, and then hid in the tower I was locked in. He helped me escape, and I made him promise that if he took me to the palace to see the floating lights on my birthday, I'd give him the tiara back after that. So I gave it back to him...and then he disappeared. The last time I saw him was in this forest."
Rapunzel blinked, and wiped away a tear from her eye. "I know it's confusing. But my life hasn't made too much sense lately." She glanced at Redford with a somewhat apologetic look on her face.

he stared at her rather blankly, though politely. he didn't know what to make of this situation but as soon as her eye let a tear free, he stood, only wobbling slightly. "there there. i'll help you with whatever you need." he gave her a reassuring smile. though he didn't really know what he was helping her with or what was going on with this flynn, he didn't think she was up to no good so why not help her? she clearly needed it. it was almost as though she hadn't been out much. a sheltered life. he knew what that was like. he used to be just like her. redford knew that look in her eye. "if all else fails, i'll take you to see these lights you speak of. i'm sure it won't be too hard."

Rapunzel stood up as well, noticeably perking up upon Redford's mention of the lights. "You'd really do that? For me? Thank you, you're the nicest person I've met since I left the tower!" And with that, she hugged him somewhat exuberantly, overjoyed that someone was willing to help her find her missing friend. The force of the hug caused Pascal to fly off her shoulder again, the little chameleon landing disgruntledly in a nearby bush.

redford took a step back from the force of her hug, a bit startled for a moment before petting her back. she smelled of flowers. he couldn't help but smile at her exuberance. "well of course. i'd be honored to help you. i'd enjoy to see them myself." the wizzing green dot that passed his eye seemed a bit fishy, but he was too caught up in the moment to mention it. he pulled away so she wouldn't attach herself to him. "shall we go?" he looked down at her with an adventurous smile.
