[Regina nods, mostly satisfied.]

One last test.

[A flick of the wrist and Drizella is poofed to the roof - the intention to test her own teleporting abilities.]

[emojis]

[If Regina isn't with her she's going to miss the undignified sound of surprise Drizella makes when she lands on the roof. Her arms windmill for a moment, and then she huffs, before waving a hand and letting the familiar smoke swirl around her.

Soon, she reappears in Regina's room, dusting off her hands as she does.]

Looks like test passed.

[madehervows]

[Unfortunately, Regina doesn't go with her. Instead, she waits in her room to make sure Drizella makes it back - one way or another.]

Congratulations. [A beat.] I'm going to take a chance and leave the bracelets with you.

[emojis]

[And there's the last thing she expected.]

Why?

[Does the trust terrify her a little bit? Yeah, you could say that.]

[madehervows]

Because if I have them, you'll always have the fear of it being taken away to keep you on the straight and narrow.

[A good enough reason, she supposes, but it's not really.... enough.]

But if you don't? It's all up to you.

[emojis]

[Yeah, that explanation doesn't really make her feel better.]

And you trust me enough to do that?

[madehervows]

Not entirely.

[There's no point in lying, not here.]

But I've seen enough to know what risks are worth taking.

[emojis]

[Drizella wouldn't feel great about this situation if Regina had told her that she did, to be honest, so it's probably for the best.]

So it's another test. Just ... a way longer one.

[madehervows]

That's the thing about trying to be better.

[She's not saying this to gloat, or to discourage Drizella. It's nothing like that.]

The tests never quite end.

[emojis]

Oh goodie.

[She doesn't sound resentful of that, but just ... tired.]

There were a lot of tests on the other side too. Here I thought I might get out of some of those.

[it's mostly sarcasm.]

[madehervows]

The main difference is on this side, the solution isn't murder.

[A sigh.]

Unfortunately.

[emojis]

[She makes a face, before shrugging.]

I never really enjoyed that anyway.

[She just did it because she felt she had no other choice.]
