"You're being quiet," Alice commented nudging her shoulder against Robin's. "Really really quiet. For either of you." The blonde added knowing they were still getting used to having two lives in their heads as her girlfriend's stormy green eyes found hers. Alice could see the inner conflict playing out in that single look and truth be told it worried her to no end.
"Is it cause I finished off the last of the hot chocolate already? I could just…." Alice started to say knowing that wasn't the problem at all. It did the trick bringing a soft only slightly forced laugh from the woman beside her who was now shaking her head with a hint of a smile on her lips.
"I'm the one that offered the rest of mine baby don't worry about it." Robin chuckled linking her arm with Alice's keeping her close as she let the adventuress take the lead knowing from Margot's memories that Alice or rather that Tilly knew every corner of Hyperion Heights just as well as Robin knew Storybrooke.
Alice nodded letting the matter drop for now in favor of charging ahead once she spotted their destination pulling Robin along beside her. Robin giggled at Alice's excitement lengthening her strides to keep up, so she wouldn't have to let go of Alice's hand.
"Hello, old friend." Alice greeted clambering up onto the Trolls hand with Robin not far behind her. "I finally got all the pieces of my puzzle back in the right boxes. I'm Alice again." She told the stone creature giving it a hug as best she could given his size then moved down so she was settled in the crook of the Troll's arm with her legs stretched out ahead of her. "Come on then let it out. She can't hear you here." She goaded glancing over at her still tight-lipped true love.
"She knew all along. She knew what we were to each other from the time I got back to town maybe even before that going by what I remember from some of her messages asking me to come back." Robin grumbled after a beat having let Alice get settled so she could move up to rest her head in Alice's lap staring up at the overpass above them. "She could have told me I mean I even asked her point blank to tell me what was going on with her and she lied to me. To my face I mean who does that to her own daughter?" Robin vented "And Aunt Regina was in on this too. Giving me all those double shifts behind the bar when she knew I wanted to be with you." Alice blushed at that but chose to stay quiet. "I mean sure I would have thought they were a little nuts is they told me we were all fairytale characters."
"I am not nuts I'm just mad you said so yourself." Alice jumped in defiant but was holding back laughter at the same time making Robin stick out her tongue in retaliation before she continued as if Alice hadn't spoken. "who wouldn't think that story was a bit farfetched with the curse repressing all our memories but come on Alice it's like you said. We always knew each other." Robin had rolled up onto her knees by now still staring intently into Alice's ocean blue eyes "Even when I was wondering around getting stuck on buses in the rain you were with me but for her to just not tell me…." Robin shook her head moving back to pillow her head back against Alice's lap hiding her tears.
The blonde above her sighed in agreement carding her fingers in Robin's hair to calm her or try to at least. "But you do have to remember love that even with all of that on their shoulders Zelena and Regina could have kept us apart more than keeping you behind the bar showing off those impressive skills of yours." Robin scoffed at the praise yet didn't think of stopping the blush in her cheeks for the same reason. "No babe think about it. They couldn't have known who would break the curse. They couldn't have known if we were the Henry and Emma of this thing or the cursed Snow and her shepherd prince so to them us getting closer could have meant breaking the curse before they could save Henry." Alice pointed out.
Robin paused thinking this over before she answered wrapping her arms tighter around Alice's middle, "Nothing could keep me away once I'd found you again Tower Girl." Alice hummed at that draping her arm across Robin's side as she leaned down pressing a kiss against her archer's head "Not even your weirdness of talking to Trolls and calling yourself crazy as an introduction." Robin added cheekily bring a soft bark of laughter from the woman at her side.
"Or when I freak out on you when the voices in my head are too much making me run away putting an end to a perfectly nice date." Alice offered Robin sighed then chuckled under her breath as she continued tracing patterns against Alice's knee. "I've already told you, baby, nothing will ever be too much for me when it comes to you and I meant every word." That was met with a tender kiss against her lips that quickly turned into a second then a third and a fourth then naturally came the fifth one.
"You know we did promise to show up downtown sometime today." Alice grinned against Robin's lips talking around more stolen kisses before pulling away to rest her forehead against her girlfriend's. "I'm liking this 'sometime today' part Tower Girl." Robin chuckled stealing the ghost of yet another kiss against the blonde's lips letting her fingers play in her girlfriend's hair when she felt Alice pull away again.
"You have to face her sometime Robin." Alice said plainly forcing herself to scoot back when all she wanted was to curl up in her lover's arms and never leave again. "You're just hurting the both of you more by putting it off like this." She added when the other woman started to argue back.
"Alright but first we're stopping to pick up Acy so she can meet the rest of the family." Robin bargained pushing herself up, so her back was resting against the side of one of the Trolls stone fingers. "Deal." Alice agreed then stopped in the middle of the road with a wide grin as if she had just realized what Robin had said. "You mean it?" she wondered almost vibrating in excitement. "Of course, I mean it Tower Girl."
