Given how defensive she had been they expected Alice to be yelling at them to keep their distance when they reached the corner the voice had come from. Instead, it was Leroy kneeling beside the younger archer with a soft "Easy sister." As he helps her stand his brothers closing in when Locksley tried to move closer to help as she's led toward one of the surprisingly empty booths near the jukebox.

"Thanks, Chad." Robin whispers when a man Locksley didn't know is let passed the human blockade taking the seat that should have been his across from the shaking young woman. "This should help." Chad says his tone gentle as he sets a bottle of orange soda in front of her even adding a straw for good measure. "Slow drinks please." Zelena instructs with a grateful smile. "Thanks, darling." She adds when he slides a second apple martini over to her.

Rather than argue Robin drinks her eyes flickering between her father as if making sure he was still there as her mind clears then back to the table sliding more against the wall when Leroy shakes his head when Locksley tries to take another step closer.

"Don't." Leroy grunts ignoring the glare Regina sent him his eyes trained on Locksley nodding instead to the table directly across from them instead. An offer Locksley takes when his knees threaten to buckle under him when yet again his eyes find his daughter's seeing her mouth a weak 'hi' around her drinking straw looking more as she had before she fainted.

"She'll be back soon." Zelena says at her daughter's unspoken question as her eyes go from her misty-eyed fathers to the jacket Grumpy draped across her shoulders when she shivers again thanks to getting the booth right under the cooling vent. "Once she knew you were alright Nova said she needed to step out for a few minutes on an errand and Alice needed some air, so we talked her into going with her."

Robin nodes taking another sip of her drink pulling Alice's now favored oversized jacket tighter across her shoulders grateful for the lingering warmth it provided her eyes once again finding her fathers then moving to her mothers. "I want to talk to him."

Regina's felt Lockley's hand tighten in her own at the childlike hope in her voice as she spoke.

"She has a right to talk with him Kels." Chad jumps in before Archie could speak both men seeing that Zelena is going to put up a fight as the rest of the diner went back to pretending as if they weren't eavesdropping on the reunion.

Locksley decides that while he might not know this man very well, just yet he likes him. "Before I met this one, I worked as a lawyer and most of the cases my firm dealt with were messy custody fights." The man explains pressing a kiss against the top of Zelena's head bringing what was at least to Locksley an uncharacteristic blush to the red hair woman's cheeks.

Another time Locksley will laugh at the irony of his no doubt rebellious daughter having a lawman as a stepfather and going by the smirk on her lips his peanut is thinking the same thing as she slides passed Leroy out of the booth.

"I'm hungry."

The comment hadn't been what Locksley had expected to hear the first time his daughter spoke to him but since she was currently standing beside him holding out her hand for him to take, he wasn't about to complain. "Ice cream?"

There it was that spark of mischief in her eyes that seems to ground him as he takes her hand in his own letting her pull him up. He also wishes he had a camera to capture the warmth in her smile at his agreeing "that sounds perfect."

"Nope nope nope not you two." Chad scolds in a low voice when both Regina and Zelena make to follow them to the door. "She's a big girl. She can take care of herself." He adds with a teasing wink in Robin's direction that makes her roll her eyes with an annoyed "Shut up lawman." keeping a tight hold on her father's hand as the door swings closed.

"Toto no." Robin says after a few minutes walking not that Locksley really noticed the terrier in the first place with his grown daughter still wanting to hold his hand out in public. "No buddy, I'm fine this is just my dad he's not going to hurt me." She soothes at the worried yep the dog makes in Locksley's direction as he continues to pad after then down the sidewalk. Without letting go of his hand Robin kneels letting the dog come closer earning little growl from the dog until she notices out of the corner of her eye that her father has also crouched down the hand not in her own outstretched for the disbelieving animal to sniff.

Once the pup has deemed him trustworthy, Toto leans his head into Locksley's palm much to the adoration of his daughter. "See told you." She joked pressing a kiss against the top of his head. "Now go back to Dorothy I'm sure she misses you."

Her father stands first helping her stand with an unsure "Still up for that ice cream…" only for him to stop before saying her name as his hands drops from hers to slide into his pants pockets instead as if he was looking for something.

"Margot….just call me Margot." She says guessing that her father was having trouble saying his own name while they talked as she nodes in answer to the question, but he shakes his head as the pair start walking again this time "I would but Margot isn't your name Peanut it's just what a curse said it was."

Robin feels happy tears sting her eyes at his words but wills herself not to cry choosing instead to rest her head against his shoulder as they cross the street heading in the direction of the ice cream shop.

Turns out Locksley had been looking for his wallet earlier only a little put out when his daughter had to pay for their ice creams instead of paying himself.

It wasn't until they'd stopped under the glow of a street lamp after stopping for a round or two playing on the swings while they enjoyed their ice creams that Locksley realized why the jacket his namesake is wearing under the one Leroy had given her back at the diner was so familiar to him as she strips off the army green when the heat starts to get to her.

Why the faded gray leather looked so much like the jacket he'd been wearing moments before in Regina's office before Hades murdered him. It wasn't because it was simply the same brand as the one he was currently wearing thanks to coming back in the clothes he died in rather than the ones Regina had had him buried in- his favored Sherwood forest hunting gear- It was because it was the one he'd been wearing that day the only real difference is hers has a more well-worn aged look than his.

Robin obviously saw he recognized it bringing another sad smile to her lips as she pulls at the zipper up to match her father's. "This is actually the first thing I ever stole. I was five playing hide and seek with Neal at Aunt Regina's. It was hidden at the back of her closet." She says in pride taking back what's left of her ice cream cone. "I've kept it close ever since. Its even survived a curse. Not that Margot knew why it was so special to her." she laughed without humor

"Everyone thinks I was too young." Robin says her fingers playing with the fraying cuff on one of the sleeves as she starts walking again this time leading them toward the forest instead of back toward town as she licks at the last of her ice cream. "that I didn't see what happened so by default I wouldn't have those memories of Hades taking you away from Aunt Regina. Away from me."

The knife twisted in farther into his restored heart as the crushing realization hit before her conforming words left her lips as she finished the last bite of the cone. "But everyone is wrong."

Robin could see her father's heart breaking in his eyes as her hand slides back into his guiding him along after his legs stopped working properly making them stop in the start of an unmarked path.

"I remember it all."
