“Why if it isn’t the dear Savior. What is it you want now? As you can see, I’m very busy doing nothing..”

“  Well, lass, no. But this is a bookstore. If you wanted to read the merchandise first, you should try the library.  ”

When her eyes don’t move from the page, Killian realizes the woman hasn’t listened to a word he’s said. So, he snaps the book in her hands closed and crosses his arms.

“Well good, sit down and we will order a one for you too.” Belle said and waved to the waitress. Why she was drinking like this, she didn’t exactly know or she wanted just so badly to forget it. 

👣 He didn’t know how he had appeared here, he just knew that he wasn’t in the jungle anymore. At least, not where his home was meant to be. All these trees, rocks and creatures.....This wasn’t the place where he used to live.

Still, he was doing the same routine as always...Keeping this place safe. He had to make this his home for now since he didn’t know a way back to his usual place.

So there he was, jumping from one branch to the other until he saw a woman walking on the ground. Maybe she knew what was happening. There was only one way to find that out.

Tarzan jumped down in front of her, standing up as soon as his feet landed on the ground.

An exaggerated gasp. “Madam I object! Public drunkenness–fine! Indecent exposure–I see nothing of the sort! I am appalled you would even accuse such a thing!”

Dejectedly, Miranda carried her cello case back out onto the street. Times were hard for all of Storybrooke, and it was no different at Granny’s. Often, the old woman and her granddaughter would let her sit near the outside tables and play for the guests when the weather was nice. But they couldn’t afford to pay her anymore, so Miranda was back to square one. And likely back to playing on the square hoping for change until she could find something else to get her by.

Sniffling and wiping at her eyes, she didn’t see the other woman coming. It was only when she felt the jolt that the younger woman looked up. “Oh! I’m so sorry! I should have been watching where I was going. Are you hurt?”
