Tink understood it was not easy for everyone who had returned from Storybrooke to adjust to life back in the Enchanted Forest. It was not like everyone was back to living their former lives as if the First Curse did not happen. Nevertheless, the fairy was determined to seek those who needed a little bit of help despite the usual strict tasks they were required to do under Blue’s orders. Surely, no one should have to sacrifice their life for another in order to just have a little bit of food on the table. As a tinker fairy, first and foremost, she tried not to rely too much on her magic to do the most simple tasks. After all, magic always came with a price and it should not be the only way to solve all problems. She had learned that lesson the hard way, of course. 

After having helped a family rebuild their farm with her tinkering skills and a bit of magic, Tink was off on her way to seek out an old, hook-handed friend. Upon arriving at a tavern she could see Killian was on his way over. Why was she not surprised? Nevertheless, he looked like he could use some company. She turned to her human form before entering the tavern and joined him.

“I thought I would find you around here.” Tink grinned at him as she sat down and flagged down the tavern maid to get them both a few drinks. “I figured you’d have found your ship by now.”​

Thanks.

Hey, I’m sorry you had to say goodbye to Emma. It must be really painful for you right now but I believe you’ll find a way to see her again. I’m a bit rusty with this fairy thing so I can’t grant wishes at the moment but I’ll be around if you need a friend.

Relax, Hook. I can handle myself but thanks anyway.

Lady Bell, always a pleasure. Aye, that I did, not entirely sure how I managed to get her to drink the potion so fast, I was a stranger to her. Perhaps I swayed her with my good looks and charming personality. But New York's a curious place, it does make me wonder what the Old one was like.

I’m not surprised in the slightest that you were able to convince her. Maybe has to be more than your good looks and charm but I’m glad you’ve survived it all. 

I don’t think there was an Old York. I haven’t been there, of course, but from what I heard it’s almost like a jungle. I’ve read it’s also called the “concrete jungle”! Did you see any wild animals?
