Spoilers ~ Selfless, Brave, and True

[enchantedsnow]

[She's pacing- obviously conflicted, confused... you name it.]
Well, Mundane, I suppose that if August was given a chance at redemption, perhaps I will be as well...
...but at what cost? August is basically back to the very beginning of his life..almost as if time was turned back. It seems as if some of his memories have been erased as well. I can't even bear the thought... [Mun is not exactly happy about this arrangement.]

Charming seems to believe that there is some other way to stop the darkness in my heart from spreading- a way that wouldn't cost me the way August's own mistakes cost him.

Just like him to have so much faith in me... [She shakes her head, reaching down to nervously twirl her ring.] I would love to be able to agree with him, but the only way to save August was by use of magic...and you know how magic works. It always comes with a price.

[A deep, lengthy sigh. Oh, the uncertainty. So painful, yet so unshakable.]

(OOC: I know I can't be the only one who's seriously hating on Tamara right now. FORREAL. No more adult August. I just...)

I agree. You seem like one who would have quite a few stories to tell.

[She almost smiles back.]
I would like to think so, but it seems that Regina would disagree.

[unvarnished]

Yeah. I would've liked to tell everyone about what I've seen in the world.

Who cares what she thinks? You know who you are, and so do your loved ones.

[enchantedsnow]

I would have definitely been interested to hear your stories. I've never been outside of Storybrooke- and Emma's not much for talking about her time across the town line.

[Her brow furrows.]
It's just... If anyone knows anything about darkness- It's her.

[A small laugh.]
You almost sound like David...he definitely seems to feel that there is hope. I know that my heart isn't like hers. I just have to find a way to stop the darkness from spreading any further... I just can't get the things that she said to me out of my head...

[unvarnished]

Hope is a part of what makes me who I am, I guess. I'll be rooting for you from the sidelines. I believe in you, your majesty.
