Who: Regina Mills & Henry Mills | Regina Mills & Neal Cassidy
Where: Henry's room | Neal's room
When: October 13th | October 10th
Rating: PG-ish
Summary: After Henry's birthday party, Regina wants to do something special. | In things we never thought would happen, Regina seeks Neal out for advice.
The Story:
HENRY | October 13th
[The party had been fine, if a little awkward. There hadn't been fighting of any kind, so Regina's inclined to call it a win, personally. But it hadn't been enough. For everything Henry has been through lately, both here and back in Storybrooke, a party isn't good enough. Not for the son of a queen/mayor.
The morning of the 13th, she makes her way down to the vendors. It goes against everything she and Emma had decided, but some things are worth it. (Henry. Only Henry is worth it.) She has one thing in mind for her trip down there: Henry's book. She might not be overly fond of it, but it's important to Henry. Therefore, trading something to the vendors to get it back is okay with her.
It doesn't take all that long to get the book. A few demands, some light haggling, and she walks away one memory lighter and weighed down by a book. There's no point flicking through it, she knows her own story and doesn't exactly care for anybody else's. By the time she makes it to Henry's room, she's stopped off in her own room to wrap it. It's fairly obvious what it is, but surely the gesture counts.
When she knocks on Henry's door, it's hidden behind her back kind of awkwardly.]
---------------------
NEAL | October 10th
[Life is awful. Not that her life has ever been great, but it had been steadily improving lately. Only for Miss Swan to ruin everything. Again. She's not entirely to blame though, it was Regina's choice to withhold information from Robin. Now she's paying the price for her actions.
If they were in Storybrooke, maybe it would easier because Marian would be an actual physical presence instead of something that has yet to happen for her, and something that has already happened for him. Or maybe it would be harder for the exact same reason, not that they'll ever know. But she can't sit around in her room feeling miserable for herself, and yet she doesn't know how to move past it.
Someone from Storybrooke does, though. Maybe. The jury is still out, but it's her only lead so far. Regina never thought she'd be going to Neal for advice, but Wonderland seems to be opening new doors every day. Besides, she should probably be on mildly pleasant terms with him because of Henry.
Early in the afternoon she knocks on Neal's door and waits.]

no subject
The book says you went to Wonderland - the one from our world - and then abandoned the Hatter there. Why did you go if your mom was there?
[The book, of course, doesn't tell any of the reason why his mom went to begin with, but he thinks it has to be a good reason if she went to a place where her mom was.]
no subject
I avoided Wonderland as much as I could, but Cora forced my hand. [She still isn't quite sure why her mother kidnapped her father, only to shrink him down and lock him in a box. Just to punish her, maybe.] She kidnapped my father - your grandfather - and kept him prisoner.
[She's not exactly proud of the fact she left Jefferson behind to get her father back, but he was the last person left who loved her. She would have burned Wonderland to the ground to get him back.]
She knew I would have done anything to get him back, and he was never anything more than a rung on the social ladder to her. [She shrugs a shoulder.] So I got him back.
no subject
[Henry is so pleased by this, to know that she named him not randomly, but after someone she loved, a lot. He's always known it was her father, but not that they were that close.]
I wish I could have met him.
[He also knows he's dead, knows it's his coffin in the mausoleum, though he doesn't know how he died. But that doesn't seem like something Henry needs to ask, so he doesn't.]
no subject
[In more ways than one. Not that Henry needs to know about that.]
You two are a lot alike, you know. Neither of you ever gave up on people, even when everybody else had.
[Which makes his name all the more fitting.]
no subject
[Because he kinda did, but he never, ever will again. Also he was only ten, and he feels like things changed a lot in three years.]
Did he like stories and stuff too? [He never really thought before to ask about her dad, but it makes sense. She has to have good memories with him if she wanted to use his for her son, right? He hopes, anyway.]
