Set in Storybrooke - Deleted scene from 3x16 (It's Not Easy Being Green) - The woods - After she gave him her heart
#25 Look both ways
"So" he started, starting to walk towards the edge of the forest "tell me more about this world… my men and I were quite disoriented when we woke up here, a few days ago"
"What do you want to know?" she asked.
"Everything" he chuckled, meeting her gaze as they walked side by side.
"Well… for example, the former royals have a job, as everyone in this town," she shrugged, aware of the proximity of his body.
"I would never have taken you for a lover of work, your majesty," he mocked her.
"Being a queen was a job as well, you know," she bit back "it's a strange thing to hear, coming from a thief"
"That's a dangerous work, you're right," he confirmed, causing a loud laugh from Regina.
"I would hardly define that working," she said, her shoulders still shaking. "Anyway, between the things I love about this world there are, without any doubts, the indoor plumbing and the hot showers,"
"And what's a hot shower?" he inquired.
"You must try it" she added "it's like a cascade... but it has hot water"
"It sounds... fascinating" she felt his gaze over her and she stopped in her tracks, looking at him.
"We're arrived in town," she breathed, not being able to divert her eyes: they were at the corner between Main Street and the road which led to the forest.
He turned his head towards the street and he began to cross the road. She saw the car in a glimpse and she had an instant to react: she grabbed his arm, screaming "STOP!" and he froze on the spot, as the car passed well much over the speed limit.
"You must look both ways" she said, feeling her heartbeat accelerate, even if her heart wasn't in her chest.
"Thank you" he replied, still shocked.
"I think tomorrow I should have a little chat with Miss Swan about her sheriff duties," she muttered. "Shall we go grab that drink?"
