[ It's amazing, but sadly short lived. They were at least able to enjoy themselves for a time before they caught the wrong sets of eyes.
For a while she didn't even notice, her eyes closed as she was lost in the freedom of the dance, but when she heard Adrien speak up she tensed, eyes snapping open and looking in the direction that Adrien did. A tall man with hair the color of corn silk, stern features, and a... not quite stern but not relaxed either. Gothel's expression was all too familiar, and Rapunzel knew she had to be mindful. She tensed , trying to remember her lessons and the warnings Gothel had given her before. So, this was Adrien's father? The resemblance is clear from their coloring, but... she thinks Adrien looks much... ah... warmer? Easier to approach? She's glad she isn't alone, here. ]
Hello, mother, Mr. Agreste. [ Politely, she manages a light curtsy, relieved to see the glint of approval in Gothel's gaze right before her expression softens a bit. ]
Gabriel, this is my daughter, Rapunzel. And I take it this is Adrien? Your father speaks very highly of you, young man.
[ There'll no doubt be some praise forthcoming, some thanks for looking after Rapunzel, but she can't get away with dominating conversation in this crowd like she could in private with Rapunzel, so she leaves it there for now. ]
