[It's the second time he's woken up to an empty room, and somehow he's still surprised.
It figures. Just when things had been getting better, when he'd started feeling alright after having Emma taken away, when the castle had brought Snow back--
Well. It wasn't like his family had ever been whole before, anyway.]
Um. [A beat. He started talking too fast. Try again.] Um, the castle sent Prince Charming home. [amending:] James.
[Home to a curse, which isn't any better.
He's quiet for a while, looking at the other pages of the journal when he doesn't feel like doing anything else.]

[ She's had way too many ten-year-olds hang out at her place over the years. ]
no subject
No, that sounds fun. I think I'm pretty good with dogs, anyway. Are they allowed to sit on the couch and watch with us?

[ She doesn't actually expect a kid to even know what that is, since it's not one of the better known types. ]
She's still young, so she's not very big, and she can be very shy around new people.

no subject
Just warn me when you come by, and I'll make sure she's in a mood for treats. That's the best way to bond with her.
