[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.]

to whom it may concern

[Proper letter format, at last! This texting business still takes some getting used to.]

Hook,

Not that I'm aware of, but I'm a bit behind the times. I just had a run-in with Lacey and Gold last I was in Storybrooke.

Press down the shift key. It's tricky but not impossible one handed.

Sincerely, Doctor Whale

Hook

There should be a key with an arrow pointing up somewhere on your device. You hold it down to create a capital letter. If you need further instruction I can help you in person. Might be easier.

I think you just turned the capslock on. All right, what room are you in? I'll help you out.

I AM NOT IN A ROOM. I AM AT THE BEACH. WHAT IS CAPSLOCK?

[jolting]

That thing you're doing right now where all of your letters are capitalized? You pushed a button to make it that way.

Look, I'm heading out. Just stay where you are.

WAIT DONT EMMA IS COMING.

[And Hook is hoping she'll want a bit of a private reunion as much as he will.]

I CAN ASK HER WHERE TO FIND YOU AND MEET YOU LATER

I'm letting Emma show you the ropes.

You come by the clinic later and we'll have a drink or something. It's on the first floor so you can't miss it.
