Regina had just walked out from Rumple's room. He had some good plans about how they ought to find Henry. She walked across the deck. Across the other side of the vessel she saw Captain Hook steering. She walked over to him and he looked up as she approached.
"How was your meeting with Rumplestiltskin?"
"Fine," said Regina.
"Do you honestly think that crocodile knows more about Neverland than I do?" said Hook hotly. "Me, who's spent far longer in this damn place than he ever has."
"Gold knows his stuff," said Regina simply. "Plus it's not about Neverland, it's about magic. And you don't have any magic."
"Well," said Hook, spinning the wheel sharply. "If Rumplestilkin knows his stuff then why are you so anxious?"
"Because –" began Regina.
"I'll tell you why Regina; because deep down Neverland attacks our inner insecurities and deep down in ourselves we're all alone. We're lonely. It doesn't matter how much we pretend otherwise, we're lonely and it frightens us. Your magic or Rumplestiltskin's magic isn't going to solve that!"
"What are you saying?" said Regina.
"That Neverland is about accepting who you really are."
"And who am I?" said Regina coldly, expecting him to say the "evil queen".
"I dunno, love," said Hook softly. "Only you know who you truly are."
"Well thank you for your advice," said Regina, beginning to walk away "but I don't have time for your sentimentalities; all I care about is finding my son and so far it's not going very well."
"Well you majesty," said Hook, almost sarcastically, "I beseech you to never give up."
"No," said Regina, equally as sarcastic, but deep down meaning it. "I will never give up."
