[Magic beans? The Blue Fairy? He-...he wanted to leave his world? These questions raise hell in her mind.]

Why would you want to leave your world?

[hisinnerlight]

My father. He was a powerful man in my world. So I wanted to leave to a land where he would be the man before he gained his power.

[seamistress]

[...oh no.]








Who was he?
[She has to play it off.]

[hisinnerlight]

His name was Rumplestiltskin. But some people called him The Dark One. Though none of that will mean anything to you if you're not from the same world.

[seamistress]

[ ...he...knows. How much does he know?
Rumpelstiltskin, how could you? How could you--she has no place to question him.
Bae. Precious Bae had left his world after his only parent became something he didn't want him to be.
And she simply doesn't know what to do.

She needs to set the watch down, setting a hand over her mouth. This is...this is too much. She can't tell him who she is. She can't bear the thought. Swallowing dryly, she picks up the watch again.]

I am. I know who he is.

[hisinnerlight]

I'm sorry. [It was the obvious thing to reply with. His father had touched so much lives in so many bad ways that it seemed easier to open with the apology.]

Whatever he did to you, I'm very sorry.

[seamistress]

[t hurts so much to have him apologize for something he didn't do.]

It's alright. You don't have to apologize.
It's not your fault.

[hisinnerlight]

Someone has to. He doesn't understand any more.

[seamistress]

What do you mean?

[hisinnerlight]

After he got his powers, he changed. He wasn't my father any more. He hurt people all the time and used me as the excuse.

[seamistress]

That sounds awful.
[What...happened to Rumpel? She had seen him. She knew he became the Dark One, but...to put Bae though this?
She was struggling to keep her texts seemingly calm.]

[hisinnerlight]

It was. That's why I got the magic bean. To leave.

[seamistress]

Well...you're safe here now.

[hisinnerlight]

But I'm without him. I'd rather be with him there than here without him.

[seamistress]

You'll be fine.
Trust me.

[hisinnerlight]

Perhaps we could meet and talk about this more. I'm new to this land.

[seamistress]

[Her heart skips a beat and her breaths stops for a second as she fumbles to type.]

I'm terribly sorry, but I'm a bit busy at the moment. But there are dozens of other helpful citizens that will help you.

[hisinnerlight]

I see. [His text doesn't show how disheartened he is to hear that.] Thank you for you help up to now.

[seamistress]

[She's so sorry, Bae. She's so sorry.]

You're welcome.

[hisinnerlight]

[Maybe she is made for Rumple. They're both very sorry.]

I'm sorry but you didn't tell me your name. Maybe we could meet when you're not so busy. It would be nice to see someone from my world.

[seamistress]

[Oh lord, what can she say now. Think, Milah, think.]

Sorry about that. My name is Lydia.

[hisinnerlight]

It is nice to meet you Lydia. I hope we can meet soon.

[Lying to your son is going to end badly.]

[seamistress]

[She knows :(]

I hope so too.

[hisinnerlight]

[There was a longer pause than usual as Bae looked around. Then he asked one more question.]

Could I trouble you for some directions?
