She'd never seen any human besides Mother before, in fact, and it wasn't even as an artist that she wanted to take in this stranger's appearance. Instead, it was as a young woman who had never been out in the world, and wanted to learn about it.
But as he stammered, Rapunzel remembered herself, and her situation. With a tense expression, she reiterated the fact that she wanted him gone: "You're not supposed to be here."
