[ Okay, she'll bite. Every time she's seen him, he's been in a terrible mood, and the gypsy hoped she'd find some sort of way to cheer him up. Thing was? She was terrible in the kitchen, and had no idea what the man wanted for such an occasion, at least something in her price range. For now, she could only give him company.
Esme caught him on his way to the station, and was a very sneaky gypsy as she followed him there. She watched how he carried himself, and she just couldn't pinpoint what was wrong. ]
[Rameses had seen Tulio around quite a bit, but never really had a chance to meet, one or the other seeming to have other things on their mind at the time. Now, he was on his way into Traverse Town to look into getting a tux for the prom.
He might've just ignored him or giving a cordial nod at most except that Tulio seemed...different. Typically, the guy was pretty upbeat and now he looked so dejected. Much like he'd been.]
[No, he was jut leaning here to keep the pole up. But Tulio saved his smart-ass remarks. He was in a bad mood, sure, but that was no reason to take it out on a stranger.]
[Rapunzel was invited to this little celebration, so she's waiting for both Tulio and Eu--Flynn in front of the tavern. She knows where it is this time, and she's not going to do a repeat late-entrance like the last time they were all here. ...Which she's also not going to think about, because Tulio doesn't remember it.]
[Either way, that's where she is, rocking back and forth on her heels and humming softly to herself while she waits. Her mind seems to have wandered elsewhere - Is it REALLY a good idea to leave Pascal in my room? Yes, it must be... Right? - so she doesn't notice when Tulio arrives right away.]
[When he got to the tavern he had to grin a little when he saw Rapunzel there. Despite her having hit him with a pan when they 'first' met, his 'second' encounter with her was a lot sweeter so he couldn't help but feel slightly better about tonight.]
Hey cutie. [He came up to her and gave her cheek a light and friendly pinch.]
Where's your man? You shouldn't be standing out here all by yourself. Rogues like me are just waiting to steal you away and hide you in our treasure rooms.
[It was the pinch that really got her attention, but the nickname was what brought a happy smile to her face. She looked up at him, bounced on her heels once, and then threw her arms around him in an excited hug.] Tulio! Happy birthday~!
[She pulled back again with a laugh, tucking some loose hair behind her ear.] Oh...? "My man"??
Uhhhh yeah, thanks. [Oh yay, his least favorite phrase in the universe. But it was best just to grin and bear it for Rapunzel's sake -- and he was getting a hug, which was a bonus.]
Tall dark and handsome, otherwise known as Flynn Rider. I figure he's yours since you two are always together.

You too, huh?

[He'd definitely appreciate the gesture.]
You're a student at the Academy as well, right? [Already knows the answer, but at least it's an icebreaker of sorts.]
