On someday games and recent canon worries

[didyoueverdoubt]

Look, mun, it's not that I don't appreciate what I've got. Your head is a lot better than lying in a coma for twenty-eight years, and I know who I really am. That's something.

But it's not enough. I miss my wife, and I'm worried about my daughter and Henry. I can't stay here alone forever.

Look, you've got some time opening up in a month or two. Think about it, all right? Find a way to send me to my family. Especially since it's more extended than I thought.

Given your track record thus far, I'm honestly surprised you're not more optimistic.

[didyoueverdoubt]

Oh, it'll happen. I'm just not willing to sit and wait if I can do something to make it happen faster.

[cantwalkwithoutit]

Admitted, you're the first I've met that's been willing to use the mundanes to that end.

[But then he's not exactly a social butterfly around here.]

[foundandfinding]

Recently I've thought about tacking up paper on the wall and writing it out. Just to keep the tree straight.

[didyoueverdoubt]

Maybe you should color-code it. That might help.

[foundandfinding]

How did things get this complicated?

[unhand]

I know where your wife and daughter are. But you won't want to hear about what they've been doing.

[foundandfinding]

...do you like being punched? Is that why you say things like this?

[unhand]

Well, love, I think I might enjoy it if you did it.

[didyoueverdoubt]

Maybe not from you.

[unhand]

Suppose I should have said who they've been doing.

[uncurse]

As eager as I'm not for you to be stuck in the same position as the rest of us ... Fairly certain Mary-Margaret would prefer having you in Atia than not while she is.

[didyoueverdoubt]

I wish I could be, believe me.

[Which might be an awkward thing to say to one's daughter, considering the setting in question, but w/e he'll ignore that.]

[uncurse]

I think we can all agree that both of us would rather be home with you, but the muns have made it clear that one's not in the cards, so ... [ sigh. that aside ... ] What do you mean more extended? [ being from in the name of the brother is hard. ]

[placeintheworld]

[This is seriously awkward. Have a guy in jeans and a loose shirt with slightly longer hair who looks - for all intensive purposes like he just wandered off the farm.]

I'm apparently supposed to convince you that seeing your wife and daughter is a good thing and you should come and find them.

[pause] Never mind that honestly if you had a wife and daughter you probably shouldn't be leaving them in the first place.

[didyoueverdoubt]

It wasn't my choice. If it were up to me, we'd all be at home having a normal dinner together right now.

[placeintheworld]

Sweet. [Can you feel the bitterness] So what, you and Emma Swan are connected somehow?

[theboywiththebook]

[Why is his family more complicated than the Borgis?]

Things are getting crazier aren't they?

[didyoueverdoubt]

A little bit, yeah. But hey—everything's going to be okay. Things'll settle down.

[theboywiththebook]

[But, Henry likes adventure!

Drama though? Not so much.]

...So what happens now though?

[monsterego]

There are more Charmings running around here?

[didyoueverdoubt]

Not quite. More like in-laws.

[monsterego]

And I didn't see Emma as the marrying type. Dare I ask?

[blanketed]

Your family's everywhere, in this place. You just have to look. Should be used to it by now.

[didyoueverdoubt]

If that's what I have to do, then I'll never close my eyes.

[Poetic, Charming, but kind of impractical.]
