[ He's only too happy to change the subject, not wanting to make things uncomfortable for her. The point of having drinks together is to unwind, not add any undue stress. ]

It is. And though I haven't yet had the pleasure to know your boy terribly well, he's a good lad. I look forward to knowing him better once we've all found our way home.

Well, God only knows how it happened, but he's a good kid.

[ She nods, offering a flicker of a smile. Henry always manages to push her to her best, even when she's simply talking about him. ]

Wish I'd gotten more time with him when I spent a jump in Neverland.

Children, I think, have a way of being better than their parents. Though in Henry's case, I happen to see quite clearly that he's very loved and supported by a wonderful family.

[ He doesn't know all of the bad stuff, of course, but he's also not naive, he knows Regina was once the evil queen. Still, he prefers to focus on the positive. ]

I truly believe we'll both see our boys again.

[ Emma snorts at that assertion if only because she can't imagine anyone being better than her parents. They're heroes. Actual fairytale heroes. She shakes her head, dismissing it. ]

I hope you're right. I'm not gonna stop trying until we do.

[alionsheart]

Nor will I. Surely our tenacity combined will prove eventually to be fruitful.

[ A parent never gives up on trying to get back to their child, after all, no matter what it takes. ]

And while we remain trapped here, we can at least indulge in moments like this, sharing a drink and each other's company.

[uncurse]

We don't get a lot of 'em, so we better enjoy it while it lasts.

[ Raising her glass to him, she then takes a drink. ]

[alionsheart]

[ And Robin raises his glass, deciding to make it a toast of sorts. ]

Well. To us, I say. And the children we love rather madly.

May our paths, wherever they may lead us here, eventually bring us home.
