If there actually existed an award for "Most Adaptable to Sudden Strange Situations", out there Facilier strongly felt he deserved first place for such a title. Hands down.

He was mentally sprinting to keep up with his new situation; his eyes darted about the chapel, resting on the uncanny fountain that bubbled in the shadows before flickering back to measure the hair that trailed from Rapunzel's head. What made it all seem even more like an odd dream was the chirpy attitude of the soldier whom Rapunzel was speaking with. Facilier had expected commanding barks and the ends of loaded guns to come from the stranger in uniform, yet he was awfully cheerful for someone standing in the darkness of such an unsettling chapel...

Despite the strangeness of it all, Facilier also recognized the obliviously blissful soldier to be that annoyingly happy voice that had made those grating announcements earlier during the day. "So this is Mr. Harrington...?" Facilier pondered to himself, eying the man with a raised eye brow, "He sure acts as silly as he sounds over the intercom..."

Putting what Rapunzel had to say at the top of his priority list, Facilier moved his focus on the girl and listened. She had mentioned being engaged in one of the military's "missions", this new set of information just could be worth the wild ride by hair to the second floor...

And yet--

Oh dear...! Rapunzel wasn't doing what Facilier thought she was doing, was she? Admitting failure to a higher power that could easily take her life away with a single swipe?! Facilier knew full well of just how foolish it was to confess a fatal mishap to those held the strings to one's soul... It was apparent that Rapunzel was not thinking clearly on the matter and was simply reacting with no regard for the dangerous consequence she was teetering towards...

If it had been anyone else, Facilier would have simply stayed out of the way for the military to swoop in and snatch away the insufferable fool. But this had to do with his Rapunzel, and he wasn't going to let anything happen to her if he didn't have anything to say about it! Besides, he still hadn't witnessed Rapunzel's power and figured out how to use it if it deemed worthwhile to him. Too bad he didn't just have a pair of scissors to borrow a sample of the girl's hair and be off on his own way to investigate its magic himself...

Immediately, the Bokor jumped into action. "Ah, not the right person you say? If that be the case, then this was all but just a harmless little mistake!" Facilier exclaimed, taking two long strides to Rapunzel's side and resting his hands on both of her shoulders. He gave Harrington a convincingly apologetic grin before attempting to direct his long-haired pawn out the chapel. "Please don't mind Rapunzel here! Clearly there must have been a misunderstanding somewhere in this conundrum of ours! We'll just be on our way out then...!"
