     She chuckled to herself. She knew she was going to regret asking before the words even left her mouth. “So… what’s a gringo then?” It didn’t take much money to assume it was a category she fell firmly into, and probably deserved it too. She knew that parts of Rio weren’t exactly the richest places in the world, so there was certain to be a divide between locals and tourists.

     At his question, Juliette turned to face him properly for the first time. “Yeah, I just fancied some time to myself. Not something I get much of at home.” Uh oh. Had she just revealed something she shouldn’t have? Normally she was quite cautious when travelling alone, but this stranger had got her talking now and she was saying things without really thinking, so she hastily added “I have people who know where I am though”. But it was nice of him to warn her of potential danger, even if he wasn’t yet to be trusted himself.

      “Ai, a gringo? Foreigners. ‘Americans’ usually, but…” He trailed off with a shrug. Now, he wasn’t exactly in the business of being rude to tourists, but it was hard to not feel a little… resentful towards some of them, particularly the more entitled-acting ones. Still, some were very gullible and that had made for some easy money-making back when he was younger and needed to help out his struggling family.

      At least she’d had the sense to tell people where she was - assuming she was telling the truth and not just trying to protect herself from him, of course. It wasn’t his job to protect tourists, he knew that, but something about spending time at the Temple had made him all the more inclined to help people where he could. “listen, girl, i’d just stay out of the favelas if i were you. a lot are decent, but you can never be careful and you’ve got no way of knowing which ones are which. steer clear, alright?” bossy? maybe. but his intentions were good.

[juliettefaulkner]

“Well,” she raised a brow. “If there’s one thing I can assure you about, it’s that I’m not American.” Juliette paused for a moment, realising that there was no way she could actually guarantee that. Not her blood heritage anyway. But it was always best not to put too much weight behind that thought, so she brushed it aside like usual.

 The guy on her left was still projecting a friendly-ish vibe, enough to make her stay sat there. She figured that he could probably tell a good story, and was keen to see if she could draw anymore out of him. “Favelas. Right. Got it. That sounds like a sensible enough suggestion to me, anyway” She paused for a moment, before hopping up from her seated position and looking down at her companion. “I don’t know about you, but I could really do with a drink. Can I buy you a coffee for being so helpful?”

 Lowering her finger as she realised she probably looked a bit odd, she nodded her head slightly. “These kinda things are always expensive, I guess,” A couple hundred dollars? She’d have to consider whether it was worth it, but to experience one of the most famous beaches in the world from that perspective was almost certainly not something to be missed.

 Juliette took a moment to glance over her new companion as his eyes were diverted skyward. She hadn’t been here long enough to tell the locals from the tourists, but the humour in his voice when he informed her about the hang-gliders suggested he knew what he was talking about, so she doubted he was as new to the area as she was. Not that that was difficult.

 She turned fully to him this time. “Have you ever done it?”

he nearly laughed at that. no, he’d never hang-glided, but… well, he could basically fly. he was working on it, anyway, and could certainly glide down from a height. without the bulky glider. “uh… i’ve done similar stuff, y’know? i don’t have the money to go gliding, that’s for gringos.” not that he could blame them - rio was beautiful and the beaches? out of this world. it wasn’t surprising this was one of the most popular places to fling yourself off a mountain.

still, that little ‘i think she’s a pretty tourist alone in rio’ niggle wouldn’t leave him alone. whether he liked it or not, ‘kindness’ was apparently his finest quality and now was no exception. “listen, moça  you, uh… alone here?” oh no. now it sounded like he was hitting on her. which, hey, he wasn’t above that but he had other things on his mind right now. “this isn’t the safest place.”

[juliettefaulkner]

     She chuckled to herself. She knew she was going to regret asking before the words even left her mouth. “So... what’s a gringo then?” It didn’t take much money to assume it was a category she fell firmly into, and probably deserved it too.

Her first time in Rio was proving to be as incredible as hoped. There were far too many sights and smells for her to take in at any given moment, so she’d become content with letting things pass her by. That was, until she could no longer ignore all the people, flying?

    Without thinking she paused where she was, hardly noticing the male next to her as her head stayed pointed firmly skyward. Her finger, with a mind of its own, was following one of the orange specks soaring high above the beach, and she was so engrossed that she jumped slightly when the figure next to her started speaking. “Oh, that’s what it is? Maybe I should try it out sometime…”

It was strange, to be back here in Rio after so long. But as far as he was concerned, it was break time - he needed time to visit his family, and that was all there was to it. What was stranger was a girl just stopping dead in the middle of the street and just pointing. He couldn’t help sniffing a laugh at that.

“Pssh, yeah, if you’ve got a couple hundred dollars to spare,” he mused, raising his eyebrows as he looked up at the hang-gliders. Tourists were always… interesting. And stupid, for the most part - the amount of suckers he’d managed to con with little street tricks before he’d gone to the temple was just ridiculous. Maybe it was growing up in a city, surrounded by hustle and bustle and crime, but all of this seemed so second nature to him that it was often tricky to comprehend how clueless some people really were to city life.

Was this girl… alone? In Rio? That absolutely did not sit right with him - didn’t she know what this place could be like? Especially to tourists…

Rapunzel had hopped in place when she’d hugged her dear friend, happy to see her after so long.  A tiny squeal passed her lips as the girls rejoiced in their little reunion, and even when she pulled back Rapunzel still kept her hands to Juliette’s shoulders.  For a moment she looked her friend over, as if she were taking in every little detail to see if anything had changed.  She looked the same, but brighter.  There was a glow to Juliette that Rapunzel thought looked familiar.  “I’ve missed you, too,” she replied with a soft voice, one that contradicted the brightness of her smile.  “How on Earth have you been, Juli?  I want to hear every single detail!”

     A hug from Rapunzel always felt like a little slice of home, and after so long without, this one has the extra feeling of the joy of knowing the was returning to where she belonged. Juliette couldn’t resist giving her fellow blonde an extra squeeze before finally letting her go. With a small shake of her head, Juliette grinned at Rapunzel and let out a small sigh. “Honestly, I’m great, thank you! How about you? How are you, and the kingdom, and Tex?” It was a group of things that had been the one constant in her thoughts throughout her extensive travels. “Well, a story that spans that many countries has to be told over a cup of tea! What do you say we go and see if we can find some?” A pause as a smile danced over her lips. “And it’s been a year since I’ve had a proper piece of cake...”

👉 Point to something for my muse to see

“– huh, whuzzat?”

He’d been far too distracted by a pretty girl stood in front of him (!!!) to notice that she was actually pointing to something. Trying to have an actual interaction. Okay. His mind raced to play catch up as he wiped the dumb look off his face and gave her that old laidback, confident smile that was his standby, looking up to where she was pointing. 

“Uh, yeah, hang-gliding’s a pretty big thing here. All the tourists do it.” The ones who could afford to chuck themselves off a mountain, anyway.

hi y’all!

hi everyone! I know I have a tendency to say I’m back and then sort of disappear for two years, but I’ve really been needing to write lately so if you’re brave enough then please set something up with me!! I miss my tumblr pals

“Yes, really. Maybe one day when I’ve gone out you should try or something. When I’m not here so you don’t have the feeling that I’m listening or anything like that.” Her biggest fear was that he’d feel uncomfortable in the house or in her presence, and she had a small, uneasy feeling that he already did. The female assumed that she should back off and leave him to it - leave him to his own thoughts and to walk around the house to re-familiarise himself with things around him.

“No no! That’s not what I meant at all! I clean the house - the thing’s I’ve dirtied and all the stuff that needs putting back in place is put back. I don’t lead a particularly exciting life, which is why you can see that the house is so clean. It’s all I do!” She chuckled slightly, bowing her head in shame. “You’re by far the best friend I could ask for, frankly.” There was now the worry that if she got too sentimental, he’d get all uncomfortable again, so she veered off slightly.

Giggling at his comments about the clothing he once loved, she nodded her head. “I can take you shopping, or I can drop you off in the town and you can go shopping yourself if you like. Find some stuff that you like.” The blonde turned around as if to go back into the living room and headed through the door before pausing and spinning around. “You’re not from here, no. You do live here though, and I’ve always thought of it as your home, although maybe I shouldn’t jump to conclusions”

[vinniethomas]

He nodded in appreciation, excited at the private opportunity to play to his heart’s content without judgement. Not that he wished to make Juliette feel like a bother, but he was too awkward in this new world to know how to handle himself, much less when around someone with expectations. Vincent busied himself with gently snooping about, collecting clues of their life and chewing his lip in thought. “I… that sounds nice. Fr-from what I know of you so far, I’m sure we are best friends.”

Was that too bold? Vincent wasn’t sure and flushed at his own assumptions, dumping the armload of clothes into a basket he had to empty of discs and electronics he didn’t quite comprehend. “I m-mean, it’d be n-nice if we were. I don’t know… just ignore me, I’m sorry.” He vanished into the restroom to collect his thoughts, reappearing with a huff as he had unearthed additional things to wash. He had been a slob and all he could do was shake his head at himself.

Vincent visibly perked up at the mention of shopping, nodding at the idea to purchase proper attire. “Yeah! Either is okay, I just wanna get stuff I want to actually wear. My options are embarrassing right now.” He smiled, though it quivered at her reply and he could sense she was being honest, but there was a vacancy there perhaps she couldn’t fill in. He avoided a response because he wasn’t sure what to say, at least not without making it more obvious that this conversation was derailing into something that would cycle through dead ends. So he changed the subject, bright and cheery because it was easy to slip into. “Later maybe, or another day, can we go see the ocean? Or you can just give me a map, I don’t want to bore you. I don’t know if I’ve seen it before, but while it’s all new… I’d like to be a tourist.”

[juliettefaulkner]

     Juliette couldn’t help but steal small glances and quiet smiles at the man next to her. The underlying sense of worry hadn’t shifted since the moment she found him, but she was glad to discover that he did actually have a softer side to his personality. She turned away from him and pretended to be involved in straightening the cushions and aligning the blankets. His comment elicited a chuckle and one of her eyebrows peaked sympathetically as he flustered himself. 

    “Of course we are, you silly goose. I don’t just let any old nonsense into my house you know.” Her blue eyes followed him for a moment before she let out a little sigh and moved into the kitchen. It was clearly going to be a long time before he was comfortable in this house, and even longer before he was comfortable in himself. That was one thing she wasn’t used to - Vincent Thomas was not a man who usually experienced visible self-doubt. 

     After a check of the contents of her fridge, she started to think about the rest of the day. Raising her voice slightly to make sure he could hear her, she called, “we can go during the week, if that works for you. Grab a coffee, make a morning of it.” Reaching into the still open refrigerator, she pulled out a box of eggs. It made her smile once more to listen to him talking about the ocean. “I go most days and I haven’t made it there yet today. Let’s head down this afternoon and take a stroll along the front.” Six eggs were cracked into a bowl. “Being a tourist in your own city provides just as much fun as being a tourist elsewhere. I’ll show you all there is to love about this place, don’t you worry.” A pinch of salt and a crack of black pepper. “I don’t know about you though, but right now I’m starving. Do you fancy some eggs?”

☼ JULIETTE‌:

The shock from the water made her gasp with delight as her head popped back up above the water. Sunlight cause the crests of the waves peaking around her and, with a check over her shoulder to ensure her friend was following, she started a lazy breaststroke back to shore.

Rapunzel followed, a little slower than Juli but she gave it her all.  She knew the pair weren’t too far from where they came from - this trip was certainly memorable!  She knew they’d talk about it for weeks afterwards, starting with the very second they got home.

[juliettefaulkner]

The sea had the perfect conditions; it wasn’t too cold and there were enough waves to guide them gently to shore. She led them in the right direction, half floating and half swimming, until they found themselves at touching distance from the ocean floor and they paddled back to the beach. “Just about safe and sound!”

☼ JULIETTE:

Humour danced in her eyes as she caught the hand of her friend. “I’m fine, don’t worry about it!”A chuckle escaped her lips as she perused the situation and considered the pickle they were in. Pausing, just for a moment, she watched Rapunzel flit gently from rock to rock and wondered how she was so privileged to be dancing around a beach with her best friend in the world at this gorgeous time of day. Continuing, a smile tugged gently at her lips as she arrived at the edge of the rocks. Glancing round once, she yelled “come on!” before jumping feet first into the water.

She followed along, not too far behind the other blonde, allowing herself to chuckle.  If they were going to get hurt adventuring over the rocks to get back to where they’d come from, they would have by now, and Rapunzel supposed that the hard part was over.  And with another laugh, the princess followed Juliette into the water.  “Almost there”!

☼ JULIETTE:

Keeping one eye on the rocks and one eye on her friend, she slowly but surely moved over the terrain. Her salt-sprayed hair was blowing in her face so occasionally she had to use one of her balancing arms to tuck the strands behind the curve of her ear. Hearing the call from her friend, she turned her head towards the noise, causing her to lose balance slightly. Laughing as she got back upright, she responded with “I think it’s going okay! We might have to take a dip to get back to the beach though.”

Despite needing her arms held out to keep herself balanced, Rapunzel slightly reached out to Juliette as she slipped.  “Oh, my gosh are you okay?” she asked, covering her mouth with her hand for a moment.  “As long as it’s a quick dip, I’m sure we’ll be there soon.  Hopefully,” she joked with a small laugh, following her friend.  She made sure to keep her footsteps light, and careful, just to avoid falling and potentially getting herself hurt.

The traverse of the seaweed covered boulders proved easier than it looked. A few slips couldn’t be helped but there was nothing too serious. Climbing up and down this terrain was something she’d been doing all her life, after all. With the exception of a few grazes, she made it almost all the way down without any major injuries.

With her arms spread out to help keep her balance, she followed Juliette across the seaweed covered rocks.  She was happy that the water wasn’t too bad - thankfully the waves weren’t too rough, either.  She’d hate for either of them, or both of them, to be swept away because they didn’t want to wait for low tide.  “How’re you doing?” she called out to her friend.

The blonde let out a giggle. “We’re going to get wet anyway, so there’s no point getting hurt too!” Matching the gaze of her counterpart, she nodded gently. “Ready? One, two…”

Rapunzel giggled in return, nodding as that made sense.  Better to be one than the other - better to be one than both!  “Three!”  She finished Juliette’s thought, before beginning the descent down to the damp rocks below.  “Careful!  Hold on tight, you don’t want to fall!”

“This is why everyone wears swimsuits to the beach,” she muttered to herself. Scrambling over rocks didn’t really lend itself to itsy bitsy bikinis that barely covered the important bits which is why she’d come in a t-shirt and shorts. It would dry quickly anyway. She nodded to her friend. “Let’s go then. Be careful on the damp rocks though, we don’t need an injury no matter how funny the story will be!”

“Good point, there’s no sense in getting ourselves hurt over leaving the beach on time.” She let out a chuckle, eyes scanning the rocks the water collided with, and she bit her lip. Rapunzel hoped it wasn’t a rough as it looked! “On the count of three?”
