Rumpelstiltskin's hand wrings harder against the Evil Queen's neck, and Regina winces from across the room. A twinge, an echo — a phantom — of sore-sharp pain rises and spreads. She massages absently at her own neck.
"Gold," Regina snaps, eyes narrowing. "Back off."
He turns his head, and in that split-second, Regina feels a deeply penetrating chill run up her spine. A physical, traumatized reaction. Rumpelstiltskin had always been good about instilling fear in his teachings.
"… Of course, dearie."
A loud, colorful whirl of magical smoke. He's gone. Or at least for the time being.
Well… at least now something's going right… Regina huffs, wiping again absently at her forehead. Blood trickles heavily from the Evil Queen's hairline. She only stares wordlessly, confounded at Regina who sighs and pull out a handkerchief from her dark gray blazer's pocket, dabbing and smearing crimson fluid.
"You're an idiot." Regina doesn't feel sorry for blurting this out, gazing over the Evil Queen's face as this mirror-like image begins to smile hesitantly. A person who looks so much like her. "Even if you're me."
"We do look good in red," the Evil Queen quips, smudging a bit of red on the pucker of Regina's lips.
