Oh, did you? You're the first orphan living on the street and stealing to survive to tell me they've an edge.
( he's not diminishing what Snow and Charming did. it was disturbingly dark for so-called heroes. but that rather proved his point, didn't it? he didn't like Emma attempting to remove ownership of her choices. he didn't believe a spell existed that could remove all darkness from a person, it would leave them not much of a person at all. she made her own choices and she'd built the person she was now more than any spell or curse loophole ever could.
he didn't believe for a second that spell had removed all ability toward free will. her choices were her own, and sometimes they were good and sometimes they were bad but they were always hers, not some predetermined destiny and certainly not some spell that kept her from ever making the wrong one. )
I've been thinking about how we're going to take advantage of what this place has given us. ( it's odd to feel like the only person still with an inkling of hope that they'll get out of Wonderland. Emma is panicked for the point she goes back and it'll all go wrong. Regina is too busy picking the right shade of chartreuse for her wedding to worry about getting out again. as he sees it they've been given a rare chance to make things right, but he would appreciate help trying to figure out how to work the system. Wonderland has the magic they need, they just need to figure out how to direct it in the way they want to.
he's a little surprised by her inquiry. in their time together, Emma does not do a lot of time talking about their future. they go day by day and that's about it. not to say he doesn't think about their future, because of course he does. he sees her as his happy ending, even though he waffles on the idea that he actually deserves one. of course he thinks about what that will look like months, years from now. he's just a few steps short of doodling their names surrounded by a heart in a notebook on the infatuated scale. Emma loves him, but he knows she's not quite on that level yet. )
Well hopefully something not involving curses, or witches, or hexes, or sleeping potions. I'd take a monkey but only if it's an unmagical one. ( he's taking it as a joke because well, that's generally easier when he's confronted with questions he's not sure how to answer. )
