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?

What are you saying? Are you saying Regina did it all...why?

[offwithhishead]

Nownow. I didn't say that. You did.

[cinnamoning]

You implied it and I -

She was Regina's friend.

[offwithhishead]

And you went right down that rabbit hole with me, didn't you?

You honestly believe that Regina has friends? Are you that naive?

[cinnamoning]

Everyone needs a friend.

[ So do you, is implied. ]

[offwithhishead]

Needing one and not using them is not the same thing. That being in Regina's case solely. As for the rest of the population on a whole... Some know what they've lost and can't risk trying again.

[cinnamoning]

If I could I would.

Try again, that is.

[ Not that anyone would like the family-ruiner and murderer of Storybrooke for a friend but. ]

[offwithhishead]

Try again with what? The coma patient, wasn't he? Or are you talking friendship because how many have someone that does what Emma did for you?

[cinnamoning]

All of them..Granny and Ruby and Ashley. Everyone who thinks I'm a killer now.

[ But the part about Emma is enough to shut her up. ]

[offwithhishead]

Ignoring my valid point doesn't make it less valid.

Are you? A killer?

[cinnamoning]

Of course not!

[offwithhishead]

But you'll let Regina frame you and strip you of everything even though you're not?

Why?

[cinnamoning]

What else can I do? All the evidence make it seem like I killed her. I don't -

I didn't do it but I don't know how to prove it.

[offwithhishead]

Doesn't it bother you that others believe this of you? What evidence do they have? Haven't these people known you since forever?

[cinnamoning]

Of course it does. But all the evidence shows that it was me. I don't...expect anyone to argue with facts.

[offwithhishead]

Why not? Facts are easy enough to twist. It is faith and love and hope that are harder to come by and impossible to fake.

[cinnamoning]

[ Frowning. Because he's right. ]

I guess they have to blame someone. And I'm already the one who tore a family apart.

[offwithhishead]

So you did what? Forced him to you at gunpoint? Drugged him? Blackmailed him into being with you? While he, of course, did nothing but fight you tooth and nail despite that?

[cinnamoning]

He was...confused. Because of the coma.

[offwithhishead]

Do you always do that? Blame yourself for the actions of others? If so, please to make it your own fault what happened at my place.

[cinnamoning]

That one was definitely your fault -

[ a look. ]

[offwithhishead]

Really? You were an escaped murderer. I bet if I asked those you named, they would have seen it as self defense on my part.

[cinnamoning]

I didn't do anything to you!

[offwithhishead]

Didn't do anything to the dead woman either, did you? You can see how easily this was done to you and you're still stomping your foot and expecting to win over Regina with nothing more than denial and outrage.

It doesn't work that way.

[cinnamoning]

Well that's what I have.
