Random SQ Dialogue That I would like to use one day.
"No. There is only one Robin Hood that counts, because he can speak with an English accent and that's well I can't remember his name. Wesley from Princess Bride. Who I could also totally be. If I had to be like a ye olde charecter I wanna be someone great. Like Zorro. He had style."
Emma felt a small ping in her brain. Regina wasn't lying, but something fishy was going on.
Regina immediately wiped her face and found the cider in her glass fascinating.
They weren't supposed to have secrets any more.
Regina looked down and away, almost like she was embaressed.
"-be a small chance that I um."
"I might have inspired the-
She was full on blushing now.
Emma's brain imploded. She felt her stomach flip and all of her blood started to bubble.
"How-what-that's not even-you're a girl!"
There was a beat of tense silence. Then Regina laughed. It was a roaring uncontrolled full belly laugh.
"Perhaps I should explain."
Regona sighed then nodded her head, resigned to the fact she had to tell the tale.
"In my defense I was young. Well, younger."
"About the same age you are now. I had just killed the King."
"That is a wild set of statements."
That had also been her grandfather, but Emma wasn't really interested in him.
"It was midwinter and I had just started to recover from my anual battle with winter lung."
"They call it walking pneumonia here. I was finally free of the curse that kept me locked in the kingdom."
Emma made a mental note to follow up on that statement.
"Father wanted to take me away, let me relax and recuperate. Perhaps leave my revenge plans behind. I left a trusted man in charge and left with father to go south to the outskirts of his kingdom. To the beaches and meadows there. We rode incognito. No banners, knights, or even our true namesI didn't want to be a queen. Just a daughter with her father."
"But my uncle, well uncles really, were terrible rulers. They kept fighting for the throne, plunging the Southern Kingdom into civil war after Civil war. It was ugly and the people suffered. The nobles turned on their people. Taxes were raised and petty fights turned into tragedy."
One place, an archipelago on the Western Sea..."
Emma stared at Regina slack jawed at the end of the story.
"So you..your dad took you on a midevil spring break trip and you somehow became a rebel leader in a black mask. With a sword and whip and everything. You defeated the bad guy. Got the girl, who was a dragon sorceress by the way."
"We'll circle back to THAT later. All thatt and you just left? You just left and went back to Evil Queening?"
Every time Emma thought she had Regina figured out, she learned something else and it knocked for a new and even twistier loop.
Regina nodded, drained yet another glass of apple cider.
"Is this a bad time to add that about ten months later is when Lily would have hatched?"
Now Emma downed her drink and reached for the fancy glass decanter for more.
