[It’s taken Hook a while to type out the message. What business do letters have being in some strange, nonsensical order? What sort of alphabet goes from Q to M instead of A to Z? It’s bloody confusing, but he’s managed, at last, to type out his message on the automatic writing mechanism he found in his pocket. It seems to have some sort of magical ability to show images and produce sounds too, but he has yet to figure those ones out.

The message is short and a bit stilted. He’s not used to having to hunt so hard for each letter, and finding advanced punctuation or capital letters is beyond him. But it gets the point across.]

[The text takes a while to come back because you try texting one handed when this is your first time using a phone.]

shes an old friend. do you know her too?

[ honestly, if she knew about the hand bit she'd have switched the video just for ease. but until that point, she is unknowingly so very proud, hook. ]

Old friend from where? And yes, I do. We used to be roommates.

[Gonna just quietly ignore the question.]

roommates? where? is this her mother?

You didn't answer the question.

[ like she would let you get away that easily! plus, it's a nice short little cover for how flustered she feels at that next bit. ]

I guess. That's what the book says.

youre right i didnt. you dont sound convinced.

Are you going to?

Should I be?

perhaps

[And no, he does not intend to clarify which he's referring to. Both, probably.]

Should I ask Emma?

[ telling, that emma is where her mind goes for which question she would like answered. ]

if you'd like. its quite the tale. you might find parts of it hard to believe.

Considering where we are now and what I've been asked to believe over the last few months? I don't know, try me.

[Well, in that case.]

we met in the enchanted forest and climbed a beanstalk together. its been a long and rocky journey, but i like to think weve grown close since then. i also thought you knew all this.

[ oh god, a few months in and she still can't get over the casual mentions of 'enchanted forests' or 'beanstalks'. someone help her, please. ]

Why was Emma in the enchanted forest?

[ not going to comment on how much she's 'supposed' to know, thank you. ]

it wasnt like she went there on purpose.

How did she end up there?

you were with her. you tell me.

If I knew, would I have asked?

no perhaps not. but its still a better question to ask swan than me. i was already there when you arrived.

Oh, I definitely plan on asking Emma as well. I just wanted your point of view on it first.

since im so very reputable?

I like the idea of giving everyone a chance to prove themselves as trustworthy.

most people arent.

Doesn't mean they don't deserve the chance.
