[ Robin doesn't use his device too terribly often; not because he doesn't understand how to use it - he's caught on well by now - but he'd still much prefer to speak with someone in person, unless of course they really only need to ask something briefly of each other. It serves a purpose, he won't deny that.
And today, he's decided to step outside of his comfort zone and deviate from how he normally conducts himself, posing a few questions and observations to anyone who might be listening.
He's in the dining room at the moment, giving some thought as to what he wants to eat, and his face is rather perfectly centered as he speaks. ]
Before my arrival here in Wonderland, I had a brief stay in a small village by the name of Storybrooke. Everyone frequented Granny's diner, so I presume the food was extraordinary there, but I regretfully didn't have much time to sample it all.
[ He thinks for a moment, trying to remember some of the menu items: ]
I enjoyed the burger I was able to try, and the grilled cheese.
I was curious about something called buffalo wings. Does anyone know much about the buffalo? It must be rather small, based on its wing structure.
[ He's familiar with chickens, and the meat that comprises burgers, but buffalo is something new to him. ]
I've come to understand there's a particular type of food unique to diners, and while this place isn't a diner in the strictest sense, we can certainly acquire any of the food normally found there. I'm not sure what I should try. Any suggestions?

It looks and smells wonderful, I must admit.
[ He reaches out to try a nacho first, taking a large bite and chewing slowly just to really absorb the flavor. ]
Delicious.
I have tried a bit and it's rather good, but I'm far more interested in...this drink. [ He grabs a milkshake. ] What is it?
no subject
[Wait, that's not right.]
It's milk, but sweet, and frozen, and then mixed until it's soft enough to drink.
[The kid can get you the food Robin, but he's not great with the facts.]
no subject
[ The milkshake intrigues him, and he takes a few sips, nodding and humming his approval. ]
Oh, quite good. Is vanilla your favorite milkshake flavor?
no subject
[He knows he doesn't even have to finish that thought because they both know it's Regina making sure he eats vegetables.]
Vanilla is good, and it's the best one to make other flavors out of. Like...if you put berries in it, and mix it together, then you have a berry milkshake. But personally, I like chocolate with my burger and fries.
[He likes dipping his fries in his chocolate milkshake, too. He reaches over, taking a bite of the nachos before nodding at another food.]
That one's called pizza. It's something else you can put a bunch of different stuff on, but it has to have tomato sauce and cheese at least.
no subject
[ Yep, he gets it, Henry. And he's not sure how pleased Regina will be about all this food, but they'll deal with that later. ]
Chocolate. I'll have to try that. Chocolate was a rare indulgence in Sherwood Forest.
[ He has quite the appetite himself right now, so grabs an entire slice, taking a few bites. ]
Well, this is wonderful.
no subject
[He looks vaguely apologetic about that, but he can't help it if New York City has managed to make pizza the food they're really really good at. He's just glad Wonderland gets it.
He grabs a slice as well and chows down, speaking after he swallows.]
Mom makes really good homemade pizza though. When I was little she used to let me put the toppings on.
[There's a small, fond smile there as he remembers, standing on a wooden stool in the kitchen and clumping all of the pepperoni in one spot. He doesn't remember her ever fixing it for him, but she must have because there was never a pizza that came out of the oven with a mountain of toppings directly in the middle.]
no subject
[ He's fascinated by these stories, interested in hearing about what Henry's seen and done in his world. And it's not that he's talking to Henry only because of Regina, he genuinely likes the boy. ]
It sounds as though I'll have to talk her into making some with me.
no subject
[Henry grins at Robin's suggestion.]
You should, and then invite me over to have some. Or at least save some for me.
no subject
[ He pauses a moment. ] Well, perhaps you and I could try our hand at making pizza.
no subject
[He takes a bite of nachos thoughtfully, thinking about Robin's question.]
I liked both of those things. I liked my friends.
[He knows he won't really ever have all of that again, and most times he's okay with it - he'd much rather have his family over anything.]
It'd be cool if I could take you and my mom there some day.
no subject
[ He imagines it must have been hard for Henry to leave those people behind, and it just proves how strong he is. ]
I believe we'd enjoy that.
no subject
[He doesn't imagine food in the Enchanted Forest was all that great. But maybe he would be surprised.]
no subject
And then something called an apple muse for dessert, it's like a pudding, with apples and almonds.
no subject
[Pork pie sounds good he guesses.]
And I don't eat apples. But maybe I'd try it.
no subject
Sometimes we'd eat them for dessert, with cinnamon and sugar, if we had it about.
no subject
[He lifts some of the cheesy chip up to inspect it.]
I don't know about the lard part. They fry these in hot oil.
[He's curious now though, munching on his chip.]
Is it hard living outside all the time? Like...when it's really cold and stuff. And when you have to find your own food?
no subject
[ At the mention of the nacho, Robin takes a large bite of one now. ]
When we were being chased by various people in Sherwood Forest, it could be a bit unpleasant, but I find the woods to be largely peaceful. After the dark curse, it was inhospitable, and not safe for Roland, so we took refuge in the Dark One's castle.
no subject
What was it like living in Rumplestiltskin's castle? There must have been a lot of stuff that got left behind.
no subject
It was...quite different from what I've been used to, and there were a lot of trinkets and potions that hardly made sense to me. It suited us well, and kept my son safe.
no subject
[Neal's not someone Henry had thought to bring up during this food expedition, but the realization that Robin had known him, at least a little, presented itself.]
He was trying to get to me. In Neverland.
no subject
He was a good man, your father. A true hero, Henry.
no subject
[ He's trying not to go down a road that's depressing, even though it would be easy, and he takes a deep breath. ]
So, what do you think about the different foods?
no subject
[ He takes a deep breath, and smiles softly. ]
If you want to speak about your father, it's alright, you know.
no subject
I didn't even know him very well. i know he liked pizza, like me. I think he liked taking pictures. But I don't know. And I haven't asked Emma because...I don't wanna make her sad.
[ He doesn't mind it, he can handle it, but he doesn't want anyone else to be. So, he tries to be as positive as he can. ]
no subject
Though, my son never knew his mother, and when he asks me about her, I actually find comfort in talking about her. I'm glad he has the chance to know about her. You might find that Emma feels similarly.
[ He pauses, just thinking through things. ]
It's also alright to make up our own memories, to deal with our grief. There are things you'll never know, Henry, and I wish that weren't true, but I've found sometimes it helps to imagine things, to fill in the blanks with things we hoped to do one day.
