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.

It's going to be an enlightening for all if we ever decide to come clean with one another. I'd almost say I'm looking forward to it.

[cabineyes]

And I'd say we've come rather clean with each other already, wouldn't you?

[ way too clean. and bare. how much more do you want august. ]

[andtrue]

So you don't want answers.

[cabineyes]

Well, we both know I'm not going to get them from you.

Ah.

[ the box clicks open. success. ]

[andtrue]

[ that money probably isn't even worth anything outside of fantasy apple land. ]

I never said that.

[cabineyes]

[ don't crush my dreams now. there's not much left anyway. goddammit marge. ]

It was strongly implied since nothing you say makes any bloody sense. If there's one thing you excel at, it is beating around the bushes, mate.

[ shakes the pennies out of the box. ]

[andtrue]

I might be able to tell you something. Do you know of Emma Swan?

[cabineyes]

Swan?

[ yeah he knows her. stops with the shaking. we're going to ignore the fact she was ever here. ]

Everyone knows of her, mate.

[andtrue]

If you mean her harm, or - if you've ever meant her harm, then all I can tell you is I'm a friend. A distant friend.

[cabineyes]

[ kind of meant her harm at one point. it didn't work out though so it doesn't count. or well, twice. but she started it. ]

So that's where your loyalties lie.

[ are you a charming. ]

[andtrue]

[ is anything about august even remotely charming ]

Maybe. Not in the way you'd think.

[cabineyes]

... I think you just proved my point.

[ seriously what was that. ]

[andtrue]

... I had to protect her.

[ even though emma is more competent than all the men in ouat combined. ]

[cabineyes]

Well, judging by the situation I last saw her in, I think I have to say you're not exactly doing a great job.

The lass was doing fine without you though.

[ tosses the empty box over his shoulder and takes a seat on the pew. emma has all his admiration. ]

[andtrue]

... What situation?

[cabineyes]

She bested me in a sword fight, believe it or not.

[ not ashamed to admit it because it played out nicely for him in the end. ]

[ takes the map out from inside his coat and folds it open. he hasn't been able to take a good look at it like ever? fuck you dean. ]

[andtrue]

You were bested by someone that'd never used a sword.

[cabineyes]

[ mary sue. or is she? ]

She fought bravely. Quite a lass.

[ whatever august. he's more into the map than impressing you. ]

[andtrue]

... I'd better go. There are still a few things I haven't yet found.

[cabineyes]

[ nods. dismissed. not listening to you anymore. there's something off with the map. ]
