Considering asgardeventide

[cinnamoning]

 I'm not sure about this, mundane.

If they find out I'm missing again - I don't think telling them that I was in a different world is going to count for a good excuse and the situation is problematic as it is.

I'm not sure I want to take that chance even if...going away for a while does sound tempting. 

Still. I think the wise move would be to wait a bit until everything clears out and then you can have your way without making me look like the bad guy here. 

....And then there's the superpowers thing in that place. Just. Let's talk once this is over, ok?

Emma is our baby, Snow. You know this, I know you do. You must.

[cinnamoning]

It's ok - David, calm down.

[ She doesn't want you...upset. Even though you annoyed her! ]

[hasaname]

[He shakes his head]

How can I make you see - there must be a way.

[cinnamoning]

It...doesn't matter. I just hope I can come back and see yo - Emma. She did so much for me and -

[ That's right, she's angry! she just remembered. ]

She believes me. That I didn't kill your wife.

[hasaname]

[He looks more confused than ever]

My wife stands before me, no one killed you - no one ever will. I will die before I allow any harm to come to you.

[cinnamoning]

David!

[ Now she just snaps. ]

Kathryn. Not me.

[hasaname]

Kathryn? I know no Kathryn. Whoever she may be, whatever misfortune befell her - I know it could never have come from your hand.

[cinnamoning]

..You don't remember Kathryn?

[hasaname]

I know not who you speak of. Truly.

[cinnamoning]

I...don't understand.

[ But then she just...searches his face for a long moment. ]

You're not David.

[ It's crazy but while there is something of David there...it's just not quite...him. ]

[hasaname]

[And he smiles, full of hope, and takes her hands in his.]

No, no I'm not.

[cinnamoning]

But how...how is it even possible? You look the same you..sound the same.

[hasaname]

The curse, the queen's curse. It made you forget who you are - who I am.

[cinnamoning]

Do you...understand how crazy it sounds? Dav - what should I even call you? Snow White and her evil stepmother and the poisoned apple and her prince charming, it's all a fairytale. It's a story, in a book.

[hasaname]

[He takes her hand and places it against his chest, against his heart]

This is real. I am real. My name is James, and I am king of the Enchanted Forest. You named me Charming the first time I met you.

[cinnamoning]

..Prince Charming.

[ Emma would smack him upside down and call him crazy but he's not David, then - ]

I don't...I live in Storybrooke. I always lived in Storybrooke.

[hasaname]

No. You have lived in many places - you were born in a palace. The evil queen drove you to hide in the forest. And now - now you are back in a palace - as my queen. You are loved by all, and I know not how I could ever have ruled a kingdom without you.

[cinnamoning]

I...don't think I'm the one you're looking for. I may look like her but -

I'm not a queen. I'm in prison now for a murder I didn't - I never killed anyone but that's what they call me. A criminal. I am not loved by everyone at all.

[hasaname]

Look at me - you are. You simply forgot.

I will rescue you, I swear to you. I will not let any harm come to you.

[cinnamoning]

It's her fault -

[ said more to herself but. ]

Regina. She said she knows I didn't kill anyone but...that I deserve it anyway. I don't know why - what did I ever do to her but she loathes me. She wants me gone.

[hasaname]

She has always hated you, for a child's mistake - a child's innocence. But it will be alright. Good cannot lose.

[cinnamoning]

It already has. Dav - James. Everyone but Emma think that I'm a killer.

[hasaname]

They are blinded by the curse. It is a setback - not a defeat.

[cinnamoning]

I don't know how to win this. And you - David, he thinks I might have done it too.

[hasaname]

[That blow hurts more than anything. For something to cause him to lose faith in Snow? No, he cannot accept it.]

I believe in you. I will always believe in you.
