"Well, I'm glad you're safe from that for now, at least?" because Rapunzel thought Merlin seemed really nice and it was just...wrong to kill people for something they couldn't help, in her eyes at least. Even considering the circumstances and reasoning behind it, the good intention that nobody else would be killed like the King's wife had been.

"Other friends? No. I mean, besides Flynn Mother was the only one I saw. Her and Pascal. Mother kept me in the tower to protect me, so it was quite...out of the way. It's not like we had visitors around." That would have kind of defeated the purpose of keeping Rapunzel hidden, after all.
