oversized shoes and long luxurious locks

After the Dawning event, Rapunzel had received some advice on where to purchase shoes. So now the previously barefoot woman is proudly wearing a pair of men's shoes, that are two sizes too big for her. She sits on the edge of a fountain in the Nexus, admiring a lily that had floated by.

The long, long, long cascading length of her hair is wrapped around the base of the fountain a few times.

"Did you know that some flowers have meaning to them?" She excitedly asks someone who was walking by. "I just learned that the Oenothera means wine seeker. Which is funny... because I don't even know what wine is..."

"Should I be seeking some wine?" She asks again, just as excited.

"There are so many things I have never tried before... if you had to experience something for the first time, all over again... what would it be?"

For what it's worth, Dilandau isn't used to people wishing him well. Especially not strangers he's shown only unrelenting disdain.

Maybe it's Rapunzel's sentiment, or maybe it's the reality of the situation sinking in on a deep, subconscious level... either way, the taut anger in his face relaxes. Slightly, slowly.

"You're a waste of my time," he says blandly, after an awkward silence. All the earlier venom is gone, and he glances away. "Go find your stupid lanterns."
