Child of the Moon

You miss them as much as I do then, do you?

Of course. You know, sometimes I really miss just being Ruby. So much easier.

That sounds like so much fun. Or would if I could drink.

You know Flynn's going to turn a blind eye. It's on me, I promise. Just don't go getting sick like that time we drank in the park, k?

How sweet of you to extend such a gracious invitation towards me. Let us hope it isn’t on a full moon, dearie.

I wouldn't plan my engagement party around such a furry occasion, Mr Gold, I promise.

I would love to come, Ruby. Nothing exciting? My best friend is getting married, if that doesn’t qualify as exciting then I don’t know what does.

Alright then. Just like the old days.

SHH!

You know this is a marine sanctuary, right? You can't fish here.

And Emma would kill you all over again.

That depends, can I bring my crossbow, Red?

I don't know why you're so scared of my little old Grandmother, Robin. You were on her good list, once upon a time.

That makes sense. But Emma's all grown-up now, and she knows that you're not exactly the most conventional family. I'm sure she'd understand, especially if it's going to make you that happy.

That could be worth a shot…I can see if I can snag it from his room while he’s at school tomorrow. 

It's definitely a start. If you need help and hot cocoa, I'll be down at the diner all day. We'll figure this out.

Mulan? Really? I always thought she was on my side off all this. That shows you how absent I really have been. Kidding.

I— I don’t know. I mean, it was always the plan to have more than one child. But… I don’t feel that it would be the right time now… or ever.

Is it because of what happened with Emma?

Yeah…that’s probably best.

There's Genie, the cook at the diner, but he's harmless. I know it sounds ridiculous, but maybe Henry's story book would be useful here? To read about who had magic, and who would use it like this?
