You broke the curse! Or well, the weird spanish guy doing magic is on that right now, finishing it up, but the group should be fine. Or fine and fine.

The townsfolk is as confused as you are. Some of them have been under the spell for years. The guards are giving up their weapons as they realize they don't want to fight for this guy. It was all for the money. He used them. If you want to question him while he's still alive you better keep him safe inside the church.

You were gone all day, every day. How was I supposed to buy you gifts when I was the only one who could keep the shop open? We almost got evicted. I think.

[cabineyes]

[ shh puts hook on lips. ]

Hold on, mate. Are we truly going to quarrel over this like a married couple? I think I've had my fair share of that over the last few days.

[andtrue]

[ your hook smells like marge. ]

I'll take that as an apology, darling.

[cabineyes]

[ figuratively speaking. continues his search through the holy goods. ]

That's reaching a bit.

[andtrue]

[ helps himself to the holy irish jesus communion cider. ]

We were the most well-adjusted family. That's something.

[cabineyes]

[ what no one told me there was any. ]

You must be proud.

[andtrue]

[ not anymore. ]

I'm usually the homewrecker. It's interesting being on the other side.

[cabineyes]

[ and i don't belong to anyone. ]

Is that so? Your past is slowly unwinding its secrets in front of me.

[andtrue]

I don't have any secrets.

[cabineyes]

Of course you don't.

[ bitch pls. then drop the mysterious act. ]

This wasn't your first curse, I believe?

[ still trying to place him. ]

[andtrue]

Oh, no. That was a first for me.

[cabineyes]

[ you what now. does a double-take. ]

Now are you referring to our night together or the curse because I'm quite sure that can't be true.

[ he's from storybrooke he knows that much?? ]

[andtrue]

Both.

[cabineyes]

You mean to say you escaped the queen's curse?

That's not possible. How?

[ only him, the saviour and cora made it. ]

[andtrue]

Dumb luck.

[cabineyes]

You do know luck doesn't simply cut it.

There must have been... magic included.

[andtrue]

You'd think so, but I'm as un-magical as they come. Sorry to disappoint.

[cabineyes]

[ i can see your mouth moving but all i can hear is LIES LIES LIES. well whatever. they're not in storybrooke anymore. ]

Quite the opposite in fact. I'm not a big fan of magic myself.

[andtrue]

Funny, for someone your age.

[cabineyes]

Oh but age is only a number, isn't it?

You saw it yourself, I'm still quite fit for my age.

[andtrue]

It's thanks to magic that you didn't age.

[cabineyes]

What do you know of Neverland's magic, mate?

[ nothing. as do i. ]

[andtrue]

... I think you're assuming too much. I don't know half the things you bring up.

[cabineyes]

Or you're lying.

[ it's starting to become pretty obvious. ]

Well, suit yourself, it's not like we're married anymore.

[andtrue]

Or maybe you hear lies everywhere out of some deep-seated guilt.

[ take a drink every time august lies about being a liar ]
