Thanks for the heads up on the whole "permanent loss" thing by the way. [ Is Emma bitter? No. Not at all. (spoiler: this is a lie) ] It was great to discover almost a month later that I'm cursed to word vomit on certain occasions for the rest of my stay.

[ It ruins her usual way of dealing with her problems. ]

You spent the last twenty-eight years of your life in a magical, wish granting castle?

[changethings]

No, I spent half of it in the foster system. [ Which in her opinion is worse than a wish granting, magical castle. ] Look I understand and appreciate what you're saying, but it really isn't needed.

[shinybaldhead]

Hey, just letting you know. Just filter a message to me if you ever need anything, alright?

[changethings]

[ Inhale. ] Might help if I have a name. [ She might not filter, but she can hear Mary Margret in the back of her head scolding her. Be nice Emma, stop throwing up that wall. ]

[shinybaldhead]

Charles Gunn. 'Gunn' is just fine. -- two n's, I'm not named after a weapon.

[changethings]

[ Huh. ] Emma Swan.

[shinybaldhead]

[ Hmm. ]

-- not an actual swan, are you?

[changethings]

[ ................ ]

No, I'm not.

[shinybaldhead]

There are ponies here. Swear to God.

[changethings]

Ponies huh? Terrifying.

[shinybaldhead]

Talking ponies.

[changethings]

Talking ponies?

[shinybaldhead]

Yeah. That's why I was checkin'.

[changethings]

Wow, that crazy.

[shinybaldhead]

You ain't seen the half of it yet.

Take care, Emma Swan.

[changethings]

I'm all a tingle with excitement. [ Not. ]

You too, Charles Gunn.
