Spoilers for the latest episode.

[thedreamcatcher]

Listen, I just want to be left alone.

I guess it doesn't work like that anymore.

He looks a lot like her, you know? It's the hair, I think. He's got the same sort of chin thing going on.

Fuck.

[unvarnished]

Sorry, should've warned you about Emma's way of finding people.

[thedreamcatcher]

No kidding.

Seems like she's pretty good at it.

henry's jumping all over these Neal's

[theboywiththebook]

Do you mean that?

[He just started to get to know you too...]

Neal's just had a long day, Henry.

[thedreamcatcher]

[Neal squats in front of Henry, rocks back on his heels. Something about being on the same eye-level makes this whole thing a lot less... patronizing? Neal has no idea how to do this, but he's going to start by treating Henry the way he would want to be treated.]

What, about wanting to be left alone? A little bit. I was kind of used to being alone. It's kind of what I do... did.

But I don't want you to leave me alone. [Smile.] You've got stories, I want to hear 'em.

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry will just put his hands in his pockets. It's kind of strange knowing that he has a dad. All he's had was two mom's, a grandma and a grandpa. Now he finds out that his dad is Rumple's son and Rumple's his grandpa? It's kind of confusing.

He's not sure he can understand wanting to be alone though...

There's a smile however when Neal says that to him.]

Sure, what do you want to hear first?

[thedreamcatcher]

[Neal's day has been pretty strange. That's a good way to put it. He doesn't know what to make of it yet. But Henry's here and now, and Neal will deal with the consequences later.

Henry's smile looks just like his mother's.

Neal's heart is used to breaking. That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.]

Huh. I dunno. What are you learning about in school?

[theboywiththebook]

[At least he's not trying to get away from Henry like Emma first did.

He'll have to help with that broken heart though. Henry always has to help with change.]

Last time I went we were learning tricks for the states, but, I already memorized them.

[thedreamcatcher]

Really? That's pretty cool. I guess you're in... [Storybrooke. Maine.] Maine. That one's a little one. With the lobsters, right?

I'm canadian so please forgive me if I'm totally off basis with what's in Maine

[theboywiththebook]

Yeah, that would be the one. We're right by the water.

[unvarnished]

Yeah, she is.

[cantwalkwithoutit]

[Who's here because of an off-camera shove from his mun? He can even be spied glancing balefully over his shoulder before turning and sighing.]

I suppose he does have that, yes.
