[007] Pans Wielded {Video; Action}

[seethelanterns]

[Outside in the Golden District, you might see a familiar trail of blonde hair taied back in a hasty braid. Rapunzel is out and enjoying the sun. With her chalk. And drawing on the ground. Specifically, her progress is to sketch a familiar emblem, even if it's significance still eludes her in the back of her mind. She just recalls it featuring

[Bambi spends most of his time wandering around the city, people watching. He's been doing that for most of the day, and has decided it's time to head back to the Parkor Estate for a nap. He notices Rapunzel as he enters the Golden District, and can definitely manage a division in his plans to see what she's drawing.

He crouches down on the opposite side of the drawing from her, looking at the bright design for a moment before he says anything.]

It's real pretty. You like the sun?

[seethelanterns]

[Looks up as she hears Bambi speak, blank at first before a smile fraces her lips.] Yes! Well, I mean, there were a lot of sun pictures in Corona back home. And I've already filled my room with paintings, so.

[mumdies]

Corona? [He looks a little confused. That's a beer, isn't it? But he moves on quickly,]

You filled it already? That's fast. You must really like paintin'.

[seethelanterns]

Yes. The nearby kingdom to where my tower was, where the floating lanterns come from.

I have been here a while now, so...it's not that surprising? [Not to her, at least.]

[mumdies]

Seemed soon. [He rubs at his nose a bit, mumbles,] Lose track of time, sometimes, sorry.

[His hand drops to touch lightly against one point of the sun design, but not enough to smear the chalk.]

The sun important there, then? In Corona?

[seethelanterns]

It's been a couple of months I guess.

I think so? The purple and suns were everywhere!

[mumdies]

S'good thing, to be important. The sun. It's all warm an' stuff, makes people happy, you know.

[He's talking nonsense, mostly, and he realises it towards the end, trailing into a mumble. Maybe he should try a different topic.]

So you're doin' okay, then? Bein' in Splendor.

[She's seemed really worried, when she'd first arrived.]

[seethelanterns]

[She can't help the small smile and giggle at that, oh Bambi.]

I--well, I guess, all things considered, even without Flynn and Mother here. I'm doing okay.

[mumdies]

[He goes a little pink across the nose at her giggling, and rubs at it in an attempt to hide it.]

M'glad. You seemed really sad, when you got here.

[seethelanterns]

Well, I mean, I still miss Flynn and Mother but...I have friends here too, you know?

[A small, soft smile at that. Aw, Bambi so cute.]

[mumdies]

Yeah. [He nods.] Try an' tell people that, when they get here, but sometimes no one wants to hear they'll be okay, away from home an' people. 'Specially when they got taken, like with the music box.

[He doesn't usually talk so much, or say half the thoughts he has in his head, but he likes Rapunzel, and he's already a bit flustered.]

Don't make it completely okay, I mean. Just easier.

[seethelanterns]

Hm. Yes, I guess. And it is understandable. But, you never know, right? Maybe someone from home will come in with the next crowd of new arrivals....

[mumdies]

M'lucky. Got people here already. But I hope your friend comes, or your mum.

[seethelanterns]

Yes, me too....

[mumdies]

[Oh no, Rapunzel, don't get sad. He hadn't meant to do that. Quick, subject change!]

What're you goin' to draw next?

[seethelanterns]

The lanterns! [Quickly, barely needing to consider as she gets the yellow again.]
