"Thank you. For cleaning up." Regina tells Emma. The sun was coming up, and in the early morning light the rooftop looked beautiful, except for all the empty beer bottles lying around. The sleeping bodies of and Hook look close to falling off the rooftop, but they're too heavy to move around so the girls left them alone.
Emma was picking up some of the bottles and throwing them in a trash bag. She didn't seem to mind the work. She glanced at Regina and wasn't sure if she was being sarcastic. But one look told her Regina wasn't being that at all. "No problem." She tells her as she picks up yet another beer bottle.
"Wow you guys do drink a lot. Except you," Emma tells her Regina as she stands still for a moment and pushes her hair away from her face. Emma was wearing only her tank top but Regina had on her coat; she seemed to always be cold.
"I drank." Was all Regina said. Still, Emma was surprised that the Mayor was even talking to her this long without any insults.
"Not as much as them." Regina didn't reply, so Emma just kept cleaning up the area.
Dr. Whale started moving around, and Emma thought he was waking up. Suddenly he leaned to the right and half of his body was off the rooftop. Before Emma could grab him, he went off the roof. Emma ran to the edge hoping she makes it in time, only to see a sleeping Dr. Whale floating back up. Emma glances at Regina, who with another flick of her wrist had the doctor back on the rooftop, lying down in a safer area. Dr. Whale just snored and kept on sleeping. Emma sighed in relief, grateful that Regina still had her magic.
Regina, on the other hand, didn't look like she enjoyed saving the doctor. But with Henry on her mind, and her promise to improve, she let it go.
Regina was standing now close to Hook, and as she glanced down at him, he didn't move to defend himself. She thought he would've woken up by now, but he kept on sleeping off the beer. His face was facing towards the port, and from up there the Jolly Roger's masts can still be seen across the town. Regina continued looking at Hook. He looked a bit different in sleep, not as much cocky as when he's awake. His face needed a shave, and his hair was a mess. Regina moves a lock away from his eyes, slowing pushing it away as she observes his face. It just looked so different when he wasn't staring at her, when it wasn't so predatory.
Regina jumped up like a cat when Hook moved at that moment. She waited for his eyes top open and mock her, but nothing happened.
"bird's nest!...fluffy birds" Hook mumbled in his sleep. Emma could see that Regina was ruffled a bit, and tried not to laugh out loud.
When Emma felt Regina was glaring at her, she threw out a question before she would be lectured. "Do you miss it?" She didn't need to say what. Regina let go of whatever she was going yell to at Emma and replied back with a sigh.
"No. I had nothing left to go back to."
"Really?" Emma gives a pointed look to Hook.
"He wasn't an option during that time." Regina said without thinking.
"and now-"
"None of your business Sheriff." Ah, there's the old Mayor. Emma didn't push it, but she had a feeling that that won't be the end of it. Not from the way Hook was smiling in his sleep when Regina looked away.
