The thing about having such long hair, Rapunzel never knows when someone finds the end of it and follows it back to her. It could be seen seventy feet away if stretched out straight and it could curve around corners so someone could easily find her just by that alone.

So she doesn't exactly expect someone to follow it and is surprised by the sudden appearance of a young girl popping out of the greenery. Rapunzel gave the girl a sheepish smile. "It's been growing since I was born and I've never cut it." She took a moment to look around, make sure they were alone before leaning in. "Can you keep a secret?"
