”Good. Because it is not my intention to accuse you.
Explain, please.”
"Not to sound too obvious but there is a raging blizzard outside and because I'd rather not lose the use of my toes, I decided to take shelter in the first thing I found which just so happens to be your giant ice castle. Thats it."
Flynn decided there was no need to mention the pack of guards hot on his trail, or the shiny little crown wedged between two pillars behind her.
"So Blondie, what'd I tell you, I'd take you to see the lanterns and here we are!"

”——No point in trying the sneak-up, I see you.”
Flynn raised his hands in defeat as he stepped out from behind the wall, "Alright, alright you got me. But before you accuse me of anything, I'll have you know I have good intentions."
Anyone care for a little bit of... this?
Like if you want to rp :D
Elsa chuckled, this guy must’ve hit his head harder than she thought. ”I think you’ve mistaken this for something else. We’re just trying to make sure that you’re alright. Are you okay?” She grinned, raising an eyebrow.
Flynn stopped. The guards weren't armed, or unsheathing swords like he was expecting. Rather, they were standing beside the woman and looking at him like he's some crazy maniac.
"You don't mean, aren't these guys supposed to...?" He pointed towards the three soldiers behind her.
Then he remembered. He left Corona. Nobody knows him here.
He's basically a new man.
Flynn immediately composed himself, if he plays this right, he can leave the castle with a heavier pocket, and right underneath this woman's nose.
"My misunderstanding" He said.
"Unfortunately I tend to hallucinate past scenarios when I make a fool of myself in front of someone beautiful."
Elsa chuckled, this guy must’ve hit his head harder than she thought. ”I think you’ve mistaken this for something else. We’re just trying to make sure that you’re alright. Are you okay?” She grinned, raising an eyebrow.
Flynn paused for a moment, before speaking. "You mean this isn't a...." He pointed towards the guards behind her.
It didn't seem like the guards were moving closer, or grabbing manacles behind their back. In fact, these guards didn't seem to be posed threateningly at all. Some of them didn't even have any swords.
Now he remembered. He wasn't in Corona anymore. None of those awful wanted posters were around town. He's basically a new man. Flynn knew stealing the ship tickets from the Stabbington Brother's pack was a good idea.
He adjusted his shirt, "Well, that was an embarrassing first impression.." he muttered.
"The name's Flynn Rider, guess I owe you for calling the guards back there huh?" He figured she must be some important Lady of the House or something. He could never really understand those fancy-shmancy titles. The only thing he cared for was the money.
Elsa and the guards looked at the man, holding his arms out, confused. There were five who came running. Two were placing the bookcase back along the wall. The three who were beside Elsa shrugged at each other.
"I don’t exactly understand what you’re saying?" She said, slightly amused.
"I get it, I get it." Flynn continued, "I've done a terrible thing, I'm the scum of society, yadayadaya, I know, I've heard it all. Let's just get this over with, and all of us will be resting on a bed by afternoon."
He held his wrists closer towards the guards. One of them grimaced.
The study that she had left was a mess, the bookcase had toppled over a pile of books and parcels. Jutting out from underneath, a stranger’s boots. She barely noticed the golden elephant lying in front of her shoes. “Help!” Elsa called towards the guards down the hall, ”Someone, I need help!”
There was a shuffling of armored feet as the guards hurried towards her call. "Just hold on, the guards are on their way." Elsa cried, trying to cover the panic behind her voice.
Gee, thanks. He thought, attempting to shuffle his way out from underneath the bookcase. It was just too heavy. He barely moved an inch. What a great day. Flynn sighed, getting the gold elephant was hardly worth lifetime imprisonment. He regretted ever stepping in the room in the first place.
Maybe if he begs, and tells them that he'd become a good guy, turn over a new leaf, maybe get a job or two they'd let him go?
Doubt it.
He felt the weight lift from above him as the guards pushed it off. Arms grabbed him on the armpits to help him stand. He shrugged them off, patting his clothes clean. Then he held out his arms.
"As less rats as possible, please." He said.
Elsa had been wandering alone around the castle halls, taking a break from her studies. Suddenly, she heard a crash from the inside one of the rooms. She opened the doors.
"What’s going on—"
Flynn was scaling the castle walls previously, inspecting the castle unseen as he jumped from spires to rooftops. This castle's security was strangely lax, and the castle servants even more so. He was inspecting one of the rooms from the window, when he spotted something shiny. Something beautiful. A gold elephant placed atop a bookcase. It glowed a brilliant yellow against the pale sunlight streaming from the window. It must be worth at least a couple thousand coins. He licked his lips.
Carefully, he opened the window. He closed it behind him as he slipped inside. Careful not to touch anything, he made his way across the room towards the blessed elephant, but not before tripping on a lump in the carpet, hitting the bookcase, and sending it and all it's contents tumbling over him. He stifled a scream.
Flynn tried to wriggle out from under the bookcase, but it was too heavy.
Just then, he heard the door open. A woman's voice. What a great first impression, he groaned.

The Cheapside Hoard
In 1912 workmen found a wooden casket while digging in Cheapside, London. What the discovered was nothing less than a 300 years old treasure.
The Hoard represents the stock-in-trade of a working goldsmith jeweller and its presence in Cheapside is highly significant, because this street was not only the principal artery of the City, its ceremonial route and main shopping street, but was also the hub of the goldsmiths’ trade. The Hoard reflects London’s role in the international gem and jewellery trade and it contains an astonishing array of almost 500 dazzling jewels and gemstones from many parts of the world. There is an agate cameo of Elizabeth I; an exquisite gold watch set in a massive emerald from Colombia; sapphires, diamonds and rubies from the India and Sri Lanka; glistening pearls, opals and turquoise and Egyptian, Byzantine and classical gems which had been in circulation for at least sixteen centuries when the Hoard was buried, probably sometime during the English Civil Wars (1642-1646).
