Robin left Archie's office with a new question swimming around in his mind. If he loved Regina, then what did her feel towards Marian? Was it possible to love more than one person at once? If so, this wasn't the case. What feelings he had once had for Marian that made his heart pound with excitement were gone. Now they were the feelings he felt for Regina. But he couldn't just leave Marian.
She knew nothing about this world, this land. Robin couldn't keep saying that he loved her the way he used to, but it's hard considering he spent years getting over her and his feelings were given to another. To resurface during the middle of it all was absolutely insane. Although the thought that had lodged in his mind was now beginning to bug him. Marian is the mother of my child, I must love her.
This was wrong, and it all needed to be figured out as soon as possible. It was wrong to force himself into saying he loved Marian when he didn't really anymore. That only gave Marian the wrong idea and would make things a lot harder when she experienced the heartbreak. On the other hand, Regina was already experiencing this heartbreak. She had already witnessed enough of it in her life and even now when she was the one he truly loved there was just even more heartbreak.
Robin let out an annoyed sigh, ready to take a break from trying make the right decision. He was on his way to one of the food shops where he could quickly grab something to eat, when someone called out his name. "Wait!"
The thief turned to see Archie hanging outside the door to his building. "You forgot your jacket!"
Robin went over to retrieve it and thanked the kind man. He pulled it on and then had a moment of realization. He hadn't worn his jacket here. In fact he hadn't worn it at all this morning. The last place Robin had remembered wearing it was when he was to Regina's last night, but when he had left he wasn't wearing it. It had been discarded to the floor and left there.
Regina most likely had found it, but what was it doing with Archie now? Did Regina meet with him as well for counsel over what had happened between the two of them? Robin pondered the thought as he went in search of fast food.
He ended up stopping to grab a cheeseburger. While sitting and eating, Robin was surprised when he was approached by someone. A pirate was coming to talk to him. "Hello."
"Hello?" Robin replied confused as he wiped his mouth with a napkin.
"The name's Hook." He held out his good hand.
"Robin." The their politely shook it.
"So, I hear you and the mayor did some pretty dirty things last night."
"Excuse me?" Robin was genuinely weirded out by this man.
"Oh don't worry. Regina had to talk to someone about what happened between you two last night and Emma was her best bet and I just happened to be a part of the conversation."
"Okay… I think I'll be leaving now." Robin got up and discarded his tray before leaving.
Hook chased after him, "Come on, mate, let's go get some drinks!"
"Isn't it a little early for drinking."
"Oh come on, that Will Scarlet is probably hammered by now."
"He's always hammered."
"Point taken, but that doesn't stop us from getting some drinks."
"Fine, as long as you pay."
"Deal."
A half an hour later Robin and Hook were down at the Rabbit Hole. There were lots of people there playing pool, throwing darts, drinking. Even now the two were finishing up a game of their own at the dart board. "Now I warn you, in the Enchanted Forest I spent most of my time throwing knives. So I will beat you at this," Robin stated, sipping his third glass of scotch, and throwing a dart. It landed directly in the twenty.
"Not bad, mate, but I can do better." Hook threw a dart of his own landing on the triple of the ten. That left him only a few points behind Robin, but that was the game.
"Nice shot, but better luck next time. Now why did you want to come down here anyway?"
"One, it was an excuse to get drunk, and two, I just wanted to know more about this whole thing with you and Regina."
"There's not much to tell."
"And why do you say that?"
Usually Robin wouldn't talk about that kind of thing and especially to a stranger, but considering he was half drunk he would pretty much divulge anything. "Involving whatever happened last night, I barely remember any of it."
"Ooh, that's rough. I'd think I'd want to remember what it was like having sex with someone like Regina."
"I wish I remembered."
"It is possible that you two didn't even do anything. That you just stripped and passed out. I know I've done that once, it was not pretty."
"No, no, no, I'm sure we did it."
"Okay then, if you think so mate."
"So how many people know about what happened between Regina and I last night?"
"Well there's the two of you, sort of. Emma and I. Mary-Margret. Grannie. Anyone else you told with out us knowing?"
"My wife Marian, and that helpful man, Archie."
"You told your wife?"
"Yes, of course I did. I wasn't going to keep it from her and have someone like you end up telling her, no offense."
"None taken. I know what its like though, not one hundred percent, but I was once with the girl Mila and I ended up watching her get murdered and it messed me up for years, had me so set on revenge. Now I've got Emma, but if Mila randomly came back from the dead I'd be pretty upset too."
"Yes, that would be after you can't drunkenly convince the two to have a threesome with you, you pirate."
The two men burst out into laughter.
