"No, I am not going if he continues with us," Regina growled, "You can't make me go."
"Regina please," Snow pled, "He's the only one who can get us close to the witches castle without being caught."
"He is right here you know," Robin said leaning against a nearby tree, but the girls ignored him.
"Regina, she's right," Emma chipped in, but regarding Robin's last statement, she lowered her voice, "what do you have against him anyway? You haven't complained at all the entire journey until now."
Regina turned to look at Robin quickly, then back at Emma, "I just… I feel like there's something off about him."
Emma narrowed her eyes and studied Regina, drawing on her super power with lies. She could definitely tell something was wrong with Regina, but out of respect she wasn't going to call out the Evil Queen in front of Snow.
"I'll keep an eye on him," Emma said reassuringly to Regina, but apparently it wasn't enough.
"I'm still not going," Regina said stubbornly.
"Please, you have to Regina," Snow said, grabbing her hand, "we have to go to keep everyone safe. To keep Henry safe."
When she heard Henry's name, her look softened and turned back at Robin who was inspecting the amount of arrows he had in his quiver. She knew it was selfish to want to bail out on their mission; Operation Green Takedown, that's what Henry had called it.
Regina's eyes were still fixed on Robin, she watched as he absent mindedly licked his lips as he counted his arrows, and she knew this was bad. Feelings. She didn't have time for them. Not when Henry's safety was at stake. That's why Robin had to stop being their guide. At first she was cool with Robin tagging along, he was just the guy who could get them close to the Wicked Witches castle without being spotted. At first he was just a tool.
"Regina," Emma said resting a hand on Regina's forearm and she shuddered as the hand touched her but didn't shake it off, "Regina, it's going to be okay. If we continue with the plan everyone is going to be safe. Everyone is going to be safe."
Regina's eyes snapped to Emma, and they locked. She knew that Emma knew. Emma knew Robin had become more than just a tool over the course of their journey. Robin began to mean something and that was scary for her.
"For Henry and only Henry," Regina said pulling her arm away from Emma, "Let's go and get this over with."
"Let's go, Legolas," Regina barked, startling Robin, as she walked on the little path to the castle; it wasn't soon before long that Robin was right at her side. Snow and Emma followed after and Emma couldn't help but giggle.
"What was that?" Snow asked Emma, pulling her back from the other two.
"I think someone accidentally fell in love," Emma chuckled, as she watched Robin talk to Regina while she tried to pretend to be disinterested.
