“For not being afraid. For letting me kiss you…” Laith trails off. “The others are going to wonder where we are.”

Ruth goes bright red. “I’m not that sort of girl.” She crosses her arms.

“Ruth we just need a moment if you don’t mind.” Nimue says.

Ruth looks back at Neal. As if to ask if he wants her to stay.

“Of course it will! It’s magic.” Snow replies.

“It’s too dangerous for my children out there right now. That’s why I have the guards. And are you kidding me? She’s a child! And I mean. Look at me. Clearly it would be- I’m going to hang whoever started that rumour… no. You’re coming with me forest boy.” Regina waves her hand and they are at the pub.

Ruth and Marie enter the bar. They go to grab a booth.

“Do you want to do dessert or just appetizers?”

A white haired man looks up as a darker haired man drags him into the Bar.

"Up to you, I'm probably gonna get the cheapest food on the menu regardless, it's usually the least risky for sensory issues and my wallet," Marie shrugs.

Bae grins, "c'mon, you're learning how to flirt today! You need to learn how to socialize in all ways!"

After a long while Laith pulls away blushing. “Thank you.” He says awkwardly.

Nimue fondly pats Rumple’s cheek. And then links arms with him dragging him towards where Bae is with Ruth. She knocks on the door.

“Who is it?” Ruth asks.

“Bae’s father and…I” Nimue replies.

Ruth sits up and makes herself more presentable.

Nimue hears the movement and sends Rumple a look.

“Come in.”

“So we find someone who can… blue!” Snow beams. “We just need to go somewhere Regina won’t find us… my room. She never goes in there. It has such dust everywhere. OH! Or we could send a message via a bird. To Emma. I’ll get my quill.” She trots down the stairs.

“I need to check those rumours as well…” Regina replies. “My name is Regina. I am the queen. It was others who put the word evil in before that.”

She waves her hands now in a less formal outfit. But still something fine. With a higher neckline. Her hair braided back.

“I do care about my people. So I’ll accompany you. And make sure your village gets that food. Alright? I just need to check on my daughter and son before I go.”

Ruth and Marie enter the bar. They go to grab a booth.

“Good..” Laith replies pulling her in for another kiss.

“He’ll show up… Rumple will you come with me to talk to Bae?” Nimue asks.

“But she didn’t need to let you impregnate her Neal. I doubt you would have called the cops in her if you sent your separate ways.” Ruth replies.

“Regina will be fine. She’s handled scarier things than this. It’s okay. We just need to get everyone home.” Snow says softly.

“The Sherrif of… you’re Robin Hood!” Regina exclaims. She laughs and walks around the room. “Of course you are… I’m going to kill that fairy…”

“Sure… just don’t marry me.” Laith replies with a chuckle. “I like you. I don’t want to eat you.”

Nimue’s face lights up. And she grabs Merlin’s hand.

“Then we just need to talk to our boys…” she grins.

“No. My ex had abs. The hottest thing a guy can have is a little bit of sanity. And despite being a literal fairy tale character. You’re the most sane person here… heaven help us all.” Ruth replies.

“I’m serious though. I mean. You pulled a woman as pretty as Emma. That’s got to count for something.”

Snow grabs Henry’s hand and Charmings and pulls them into the hall and up a stairway into an attic. “This is where she put all Cora’s stuff…”

“Yeah we are. It is?! I haven’t been here in a while… what about the royal stores. The guards were instructed to dole out the food as needed… and there hasn’t been a famine to my knowledge. I would sense that…” Regina frowns.

“… the guards… rat bastards… tell the truth. Have the guards been keeping the food for themselves?” Her hands curl into fists.

Laith is careful to kiss her gently after what she said about her ex.

“Well there’s plenty of unsuspecting women in town.” Emma teases. Opening the door and shoving him out.

Belle looks up with interest as the two re-enter the room. She’s 100% telling snow everything when they see eachother again.

Nimue arches a brow at them.

“You’re crazy. You’ve got great smile lines. That’s just about the hottest thing a man can have is smile lines.” Ruth replies.

“Well you’re her favourite. And she’s already tried to kill me. Besides. Don’t you want to get back to town. Because I think we all want to see Emma again… come on I know just where to look…” snow stands up and beckons for both boys to follow her.

“Just the queen? Not the evil queen?” Regina challenges.

“You have a reputation? Let me guess… thievery? Most men don’t climb into the windows of a building they don’t know without a reason. Unless of course your sweetheart works in my kitchen.”

[storybrooke-and-cinnamon]

“Good.” Laith replies. Taking her in his arms and dipping her for a kiss.

“Maybe your flirting skills aren’t up to modern standard.” Emma retorts.

Ruth snorts. “No you aren’t. Trust me Neal. That fake modesty thing isn’t as cute as you think.”

“Henry?” Snow asks hopefully. “Surely between the two of us we can figure this out right? Maybe we need a spellbook…”

“Robin… well like you’ve said. I haven’t shoved you out the window or called the guards… and I don’t bite…” Regina sighs.

“You know who I am don’t you?”

“That depends on whether you want it to be or not.” Laith replies.

Emma rolls her eyes. And starts shoving him out the door.

“I’ve been known to let attractive men get away with a lot of things.” Ruth replies.

“I have no idea how dark magic works David!” Snow chuckles.

“Yes! No! Just…” Regina walks away. Then walks back.

“What’s your name?” She snaps.

“Would you like to try again?” He asks softly.

“I was like… eight. I think.” Emma replies. “If I hadn’t seen it one of the other kids would have probably told me.” She shrugs.

“We’re stalling.”

“No it’s fine! I mean it took me off guard. But… yeah…” Ruth chuckles.

“Well… maybe Regina has a spell book or something…” snow replies.

Regina blinks at him. Then gasps and stands. Walking over to pull up his sleeve. She just stares at his tattoo. Before releasing him as if he burned her.

Laith is quiet for a minute. “Are you often kissed in gravesites?” He asks. Finally… slowly clueing in.

“How old were you?” Emma asks

“Well you haven’t tried to tie me up. Or threatened me. The weirdest thing you did was eat my hair. Which wasn’t all that concerning when compared to the other men I’ve met… so perhaps I find you nonthreatening.” Ruth replies.

“Emma has to be here. And if she isn’t I’m sure she found a way to get to us.” Snow says. “So how do we help her find us…”

Regina looks up at the man through the glass of her makeup table.

“Are you lost?” She asks. Somewhat amused.

“I get the feeling I don’t want to know what the modern slang means. I usually don’t.” Laith replies.

“Walked in on someone. Foster family. And I cried. Thought he was hurting her. I was pretty young. And my foster mother was pretty graphic.” Emma chuckles.

“Getting everyone together. I guess.” Ruth replies. “Though I’ve enjoyed holding you. It’s weird to be around a guy who makes me feel safe.”

Regina is already gone.

Snow smiles.

“David… we’re eating and then we discuss how to find your mother…” she says to David. Then Henry.

“That’s because I’ve eaten all my wives.” Laith replies unblinkingly.

“I mean clearly you learned early.” Emma replies. “I’d imagine much in the way that I did.”

“We have to face everyone at some point…” Ruth replies.

“You don’t make the rules here Henry. Much like you didn’t at home.” Regina replies.

Snow frowns. “Regina-“

“I’m fine… enjoy your dinner.” Regina replies wiping her mouth and heading to her room.

“It’s not weird or creepy. Perhaps unusual… goth?” Laith attempts.

“No. I haven’t. But then again. I’ve never been in a cemetery with someone I want to kiss before.”

“Nobody gave you the talk?!” Emma asks. “Also. I’m pretty sure Fae don’t just appear…”

“I suppose… speaking of cowardly. Should we go face the others?” Ruth asks.

“Not with my mother still alive.” Regina replies. “Snow. You know the castle. I’m sure you can show Henry around… I’ve lost my appetite.”

“Okay! If it’s something you like I’m excited to see it!” Laith smiles.

“No. But you’ve known wizards exist for far longer than I have. That’s got to help the weirdness levels.” Emma retorts.

“Fawn is the worst. I’d rather fight the man than cower.” Ruth replies softly.

“You can’t blame her for that. I snuck out to see Regina and then I followed her to the stables. She had to make me promise not to tell.” Snow Repleid

“And had my mother not spoken to her I doubt Snow would have told about…” Regina sighs.

“I wouldn’t have. She tricked me.” Snow says softly.

“Killing Snows father was selfish. But… I felt trapped…” Regina says picking at her food.

“What a lovely cut of beef!” Snow exclaims.

“Oh- well then. You’ll love it here.” Laith mutters. “Goth… it sounds nice.”

Emma chuckles. “Great. Let’s go marry some wizards… to each-other… my life is so weird…”

“Kidnapping. Kinda?” Ruth replies. “I went willingly at first. Then after a while I tried to leave. Wasn’t very good at it.”

“Well yes marriages of convenience can be difficult. But typically one bears it with grace.” Regina sniffs.

“Grace?!” Snow scoffs.

“I’m sorry. I wasn’t aware there were remains here.” Laith frowns. “Perhaps my parents aren’t either?” He asks hopefully.

“Tell you what then. If you play nice and help me spy on the wizards. I’ll take you out for a movie… it’s like a play. But you’re allowed to be more comfortable and eat snacks.” Emma replies.

“In my experience yeah. I’d rather be cheated on than eaten.” Ruth replies. “Or handcuffed to a couch.” She chuckles realizing she’s likely said too much.

“It seems you find it harder not to rub people the wrong way David. Perhaps it has something to do with your upbringing. I never did like your father.” Regina smiles sharply.

“And to my great pleasure. And Miss Swan’s annoyance. Nobody is more immature than the pirate Henry.” Regina says fondly, ruffling his hair.

“Your horse is still here Snow. Out in the paddock. I thought you and … Charming. Might want to show off a bit after dinner?”

“Oh! Really? That… would be nice.” Snow replies suspiciously.

“I don’t know… I… let’s just keep walking.” He takes her hand.

Emma has half a mind to ask. What other things? But stops herself.

“What would I have to do to make you agree? Because I have this gut feeling that something is just.. under the surface here. And I’d like to keep an eye on it.” She says softly.

“We all have a past. At least you didn’t almost marry a cannibal.” Ruth shrugs.

“See. He can be civil. David won’t you join us?” Regina asks.

“Oh…. Yay?” Laith manages weakly. “Where is the rest of them? We should put it back…”

“And if we hold off we risk pissing off two powerful magic people. That’s one more than is currently pissed. And I for one trust you more with a hand than your hook.” Emma replies.

“Oh yeah? The parents? I always had a handler. And the kids really. Well the good outweighed the bad. Especially when I was Ariel. I love to swim. I wasn’t allowed to in the cult.” Ruth replies. “But I enjoyed playing pretend. Pretending I had a prince to go home to. Or in some cases family.” She smiles sadly.

“Regina will be fine… oh there he is now!” Snow beams.

“Charming! Henry finally joined us!”
