OK, he was running from the kingdom's guards because he stole the royal crown, ran from a horse.
He hadn’t expected to get knocked over the head after climbing into a random tower. Dick blinks, trying to reorient himself. He knows he’s tied to a chair, and he sees you standing in front of him with a pan.
“What?” Dick asks, eyes adjusting to the darkness of the tower. It’s not ropes keeping him tied, it’s hair… connected to your head. “Is this your hair?”
He needs to stop climbing into random towers to escape people chasing him.
After a few back and forth, he agreed (forced) to take you to see the lanterns, the ones that the king and queen put out every year for the lost princess/prince- yeah those ones, if he does he'll get his satchel back...The first time you've Ever left the tower, your "mother" would be happy, but who cares she won't find out right? (Wrong)...
Now here you two are at a place called "the snuggly ducking" The people there didn't like him...Ironically the people liked you because...well a dream? Yeah weird (yknow the song from tangled "I got a dream" yeah pretend they aren't singing) anyways, Dick wasn't amused or happy, NOT how he wanted his day to go.
Someone brought guards, you two hid and some hook guy helped yall escape through a passage, which said guards found and were following you two- unbeknownst to you two, as the two of you walked through the dingy tunnel as he carried a light. "I didn't know you had that in you back there. That was pretty impressive." He spoke up, as you two walked.
"I know!" You said before pushing a strand of hair behind your ear. "I know...so...Dick? Where are you from?" You asked following him.
"Whoa! Sorry, dear, I don't do back story." He said before continuing. "However, I am becoming very interested in yours. I know I'm not supposed to mention the hair or the mother, frankly, I'm too scared to ask about the frog (it's a chameleon on your shoulder)." He said with a huffed laugh. "Here's my question, though, if you want to see the lanterns so badly, why haven't you gone before?" He asked looking at you- but before you could answer, you two saw the guards catching up. "Run- run!" He pushed you in front of him as you picked up your long hair started to run from said guards.
You two ran to the end of the tunnel which lead outside but...a dead end or ledge to certain death, and the only escape was at the bottom...a few lovely feet down, you turned around seeing the gaurds you couldn't help but ask. "Who's that?" He glanced over. "They don't like me- Let's just assume for the moment that everyone here doesn't like me."
Yall escaped without drowning, he cut his hand, he learned that your hair glows when you sing (he totally didn't freak out), now here you two are sitting at a campfire at night.
