Rose got satisfaction out of Robin shooting the prisoner. The prisoner who had been here to kidnap them. She also got a brief moment of satisfaction knowing that the man had been sent to bring them alive. He couldn't threaten any of them again. It'd be an empty threat. If he survived. Maleficent wouldn't be pleased.

She let Cassie be comforted by her sister. Reassured that she was okay. But when Cassie looked at her she had to try to keep the worry from her features. Rose knew at that moment she'd need to talk with Cassie privately later. Up till now, she had let it be casual flirting. Now she would need to know which direction the wind was going in their relationship. She smiled, worry settling into the back of her mind as she focused on the prisoner. The questions she would have asked already have been posed.

Colby had a lot of similar questions. "So you'd say tea party hosting runs in the family?" He asked. His question was vague, but clearly for those in the know, asking about the magic the two of them could do. Talking in an unestablished code could be messy and lead to confusion. But he hoped the conversation was already enough on topic that it would make sense.

Like Willow, he ordered the same as his parent. He didn't know what would be good and hadn't spent much time looking at the menu. This wasn't where he had grown up. He didn't know what to expect. "So far I've found I'm quite good at hmm, uh, small things. I've not had a chance to practice baking for example." In reality he couldn't bake, and could barely cook. He could however apparently summon cats.

She wasn't exactly a squeamish person in any way, but currently she was not sure how she ended up playing nurse or whatever. Though a part of her was extremely glad that Rapunzel hadn't really seemed to try and have a full conversation with her. That was one thing that she was not sure she'd want to deal with currently, and right now, that was the only thing she was grateful for. It took a moment for her to fully register what it was that Rapunzel had asked her to do, and she looked over and picked up the bottle that she had mentioned.

Well, this was going to be fun, cleaning out an injury as someone started stitching it up. It made her wonder what sort of pain killers existed in this world, or if there was any sort of anesthesia to knock people out when you had to do something or whatever. Of course, despite all of the questions going through her mind, she was not going to really engage in a conversation with Rapunzel right now aside from getting instructions on what to do. Speaking of which, she poured some of the alcohol on the injury to maybe clean it out, she wasn't sure how fully this worked out too well.

Jack had to stop himself from bursting out laughing at what Meg's response to the hug was. Of course, he had expected something to be said, but not the whole thing about urns for kids. That was completely unexpected to him, and it was very amusing considering most people who weren't used to what Meg typically would say, would be incredibly confused. That thought was amusing to him still as he watched the interaction between Meg and her biological mother. This was certainly an entertaining thing.

His attention was drawn back towards Belle when she made her comment about what he had said before, and he nodded his head slightly, giving her a slight smile. Then there came what was being said with regards to laying low for a while and how they had pissed off Captain Hook of all people without too much effort. That had definitely been an encounter. Though he was glad that they were able to stay with Guinevere and Arthur for a little while, at least until they went to go meet up with the mermaids or whatever. That was nice at least, they might be able to relax for a little while.

Agraba:

Aurora nodded towards Willow as she turned her attention towards the menu and started to look through it, before finding what she wanted to have. "I'll have the Fattoush Salad with Pita Bread." Aurora said looking over towards Willow she wasnt sure what she would like or want, it was what she usually had anyway when coming over here. The waiter nodded turning his attention over towards Mad Hatter and Cheshire to see what they both wanted to have next.

"Parties in general are always in the family." Mad Hatter said towards Colby and smiled as he turned back to the menu and looked it through. "I'll have the chicken kebabs." Mad Hatter said, as Cheshire finding what he wanted to have. "I'll take the Middle Eastern Lentil Soup." Cheshire said as he handed the food over towards the waiter, he nodded and turned to the three youngest at the table to see what they would like.

---

"I'll go and prepare some food for you all." Guinevere said as she went and grabbed her things before heading back into the little cabin to make a meal large enough for all of them. Arthur noted that Megan didnt like any kind of close contact like hugging and made a note of it to not do that to her unless she actually wanted one. Arthur nodded towards his wife as she went inside turning to the others in the group, he wasnt sure if they had questions or not about the area or not. "I can answer any kind of questions you all have about the area if you'd like that is." Arthur offered looking mainly towards Megan, Jack and Sierra.

Sierra started to think for a moment before turning her attention towards King Arthur, she still found it interesting to actually be talking to him in person and meeting him. "Is there any other way to get into Atlantica?" Sierra asked, as much as she hated that she gave up somethings to protect herself even though it was just a pocket knife anyway. Arthur turned towards her and shook his head slightly, it was really hard to get a meeting with them, aside from the few traders that came to the surface. "Not really, usually you'd have to pay certain people to get down there. They have been pretty protective and secretive over their lands since Maleficent took over everything." Arthur answered her question.

Rapunzel watched as her daughter went and poured the alcohol into the wound, as she stitched her patient up, and then applied a bandage over it. "Thank you. You aren't doing to bad really treating the wounded." Rapunzel said towards Rosalia as she looked around towards a few of the other patients, this was probably the most she had talked to her daughter since they were brought into camp. "You are free to go, I have things covered here or you can stay here whichever you'd prefer doing." Rapunzel told her, though she had a feeling Rosalia didnt really want to stay any longer with her than she'd like.

Layla was glad that her sister was alright and started to let go of her. "Only I can threaten to kill you." She said jokingly hoping to lighten up the mood a little bit as she turned towards Rose and then over towards the prisoner who tried to use Cassi as a bargaining chip to get free. The man in the cell groaned slightly as he turned towards Robin Hood, he didnt like the idea of getting shot again, and turned towards Rose. "I don't know I was just tasked with finding you lot and drag you over to her, thats all I know." The prisoner said, as Robin Hood glared at him. "Will there be more?" Layla asked staring him down, the prisoner shook his head slightly. "We were the only ones hired to take you there as far as I know." The man answered.

Maddies listened as the conversation continued. Sitting there quietly as he sipped from his glass of water, eyes glancing from one person to another as they spoke. His head tilted slightly as Colby began to ask about tea parties. Maddie hadn't followed at first, confused as to why Colby thought that tea party hosting was an inherited skill and not a learned one but then it finally clicked. Maddie looked around the diner once more, recalling that this wasn't guaranteed to be rebel friendly. It wasn't a speakeasy for those against the Dark Faerie like Gretel's bar was.

Maddie was about to speak when the Waiter came back and began asking for their orders. He glanced back at the menu looking for something that sounded new but delicious. "I'll have the Shakshuka please, and if possible a side of pita with marinated fennel." he took another drink of his water before sliding his hand back into Colbys. "What about you?" He asked, leaning slightly closer to him.

---

---

Megan found it incredibly odd that Arthur and Guinevere weren't instantly volunteering to move with them. They seemed like perfect people - wouldn't they want to go with them to find the mermaids and continue to work towards removing Maleficent from power? Had they just given up them, resigning themselves to living in this cabin in the woods? Guinevere went off to make food - Megan was slightly irked, feeling that Arthur should've gone to help her, she didn't like that task falling solely on Guinevere. But then, Arthur was offering to give them information about the surrounding areas and whatnot. Megan, however, couldn't help but fixate on the idea that Arthur and Guinevere had given up - that they had accepted their fate.

"Are you not coming with us, then?" Megan asked, perhaps a bit sharply. "You're going to stay here and do what, exactly? Perhaps the French were right with Marie Antoinette, if this is what kings do." Her emotions were going all over the place, but it was easy for her to criticize Arthur and Guinevere's decision to seemingly stay in hiding, rather than risking their lives for the betterment of the less fortunate. As much as Megan didn't like the concept of monarchies and royalty, and she didn't feel that excalibur was a good indication of the right to rule, maybe this was why the sword was hers now - and not Arthur's.

When Cassiopeia looked at Rose, she thought she saw some worry or concern in her eyes. If she had, it had been quickly masked. Cassiopeia chose to focus on the prisoner instead who was less than helpful. Cassiopeia frowned, not happy with the man’s answer. He had no clue what they were wanted for, just that they were wanted alive. Cassi could only assume it had something to do with their parents.
”What do you want to do, dad?” She looked at Robin Hood, wondering if she would let the man go or cart him around. They had no use for the hostage anymore, unless there were more questions Robin Hood had but he seemed useless of information. They could let him go, but run the risk of the man bringing others back or they could kill him but that seemed like much. They could keep him as a hostage but that seemed difficult to Cassi as well. Regardless, Cassi thought it would be best if they did move camp.

---

---

Aurora ordered her meal and Willow glanced over the menu one last time but still didn’t understand much of the items. ”I’ll have the same,” she agreed. Willow set the menu aside and sipped some more of her water. She was amused that Colby and his father were discussing tea parties. It sounded silly to her in this context but they were bonding as a family. ”Maybe you can host a tea party once we’ve dealt with Maleficent,” Willow suggested.
Willow wondered what it would be like after they helped their parents with the evil forces at play here. Would she go back to Kansas or would she stay here? Would she be allowed to stay here? All these thoughts and more filled Willow’s mind as she looked around the restaurant.

---

---

---

---

Rose's smile stayed. It was her way of covering what emotion she actually felt. She was livid. What did Maleficent think she could gain at this point? They had all been reunited with their parents? "I have a question for you Robin Hood, but I think it would be better to not have that conversation in front of mercenaries." She said the last word with disdain.

She needed to know if anyone knew why Maleficent had wanted them in the first place. What was her plan for the kids? Was it just to end the bloodlines of all the big heroes? Then why take them alive? "However," She started turning back to the prisoner. "Where were you going to take us?" Maybe they could go to whatever rendezvous they had and use it as a trap?

---

---

"I'll have the Lental Soup as well, and an order of hummus." Colby said smiling at the waiter. He sort of hoped it was a cold meal though. The desert was hot. "And a large glass of iced tea."

"Oh trust me we'll be having a tea party when we deal with Maleficent." Colby gave Willow a feral grin. He hoped the waiter wasn't a spy, because Willow had been really obvious in front of the waiter. He figured if his dad and Mad Hatter came here often enough the waiter probably was okay, please be okay.

---

---

Well in her opinion, that supposed compliment was a little strange to her, and that was because she hadn't really done anything to warrant it. Rosalia hadn't done anything to really help with the injuries, all she did was apply pressure to an injury, and clean it a bit with alcohol, that was it. So why Rapunzel seemed to think that it warranted her saying something like that made no sense, at least in her mind. Though maybe it was just her trying to be nice? She wasn't too sure how that sort of thing really worked out in general.

Her attention turned to the next thing that Rapunzel said, and that was that she was free to go off somewhere else if she wanted to, and that idea did sound appealing to her. Problem was, everyone else had already wandered off to an interrogation or whatever, and she didn't really know her way around the camp and didn't really feel like wandering around especially since she was more or less surrounded by strangers and all, and she wasn't sure if she trusted anyone really. "Where exactly is there to really go around here, there isn't really much to go do," she eventually stated.

---

---

Well, things could be better overall, as far as he knew. However they were seemingly getting some info about the area, not to mention how things seemed to work with getting to Atlantica. He could understand entirely why it seemed that they more or less closed off their borders to most people. Given how things seemed to be around here, that made sense, since otherwise that might result in Maleficent taking over the city under the ocean, and cause more difficulties for them in general. It made sense over all really, and made him wonder how the different kingdoms of sorts reacted to what happened with Maleficent taking over.

Then there was his sister. He had fully expected her reactions to them hugging her and everything, but... He could understand her not wanting to really have much to do with her bio parents, but still. That was a bit harsh for her to start saying stuff like that openly and out loud. Sure, he was a bit surprised that Arthur and Guinevere seemingly weren't doing anything to potentially help against Maleficent, but that didn't mean they weren't actually doing anything right? "Meg, it's fine," he said calmly to her. He could tell that she was a bit overwhelmed with running into her bio parents he noticed, but that's all he was going to say to her right now.

---

Agraba:

"Sure thing i'll be back with your food." The waiter said as he grabbed the menus and headed off over towards the kitchen area to put the order in. Aurora turned towards Willow and gave her a slight smile and nodded towards her, a party of some kind would be really nice once. "That would be a good idea once we do win." Aurora said to Willow gently hugging her daughter as she looked over towards both Mad Hatter and Cheshire. "So where do you all want to stay when all of this is over?" Aurora asked the group softly so that the rest of the patrons couldnt hear what they were talking about, and she was curious mainly what her daughter wanted to do.

---

---

---

---

"I think it's kind of up to them if they want to join us or not though." Sierra said looking over towards Megan for a moment as she looked over towards Arthur to see his expression was still rather calm. She wasnt really sure why as she watched Guinevere inside making the food for them all. Arthur made eye contact with Megan he wanted to do whatever it took to make the world a better place without Maleficent and her people in power.

"I'll of course be joining all of you, we have been planning after all. Guinevere will make contact with the others as well to help out and go from there. We have been planning for awhile now as well to take down Maleficent." Arthur said to Megan, he was just waiting for the right time to actually strike back and take back his homeland as well to. "I don't plan on sitting around and doing nothing either.

---

---

---

---

Rapunzel thought for a moment as she looked over to see Merlin entering the tent, looking over at the injured who were there and sighed slightly, Rapunzel thought for a moment she could stay and help here still and help treat the other injured or sick. "You could explore camp, maybe find some bodies of the attackers for any information. Or maybe go and help with whatever Merlin needs help with as well to. Or you can stay in here to if you'd like." Rapunzel said, she still wanted to try and form some kind of bond with her but Rosalia didnt really want to it seems.

Robin Hood still looked very annoyed and irritated at the group of prisoners as he turned to look over at both Cassi and Rose. "We'll have to make sure they don't know where we are probably blindfold them and chain them to some trees and let the animals deal with them." Robin Hood said, as the prisoner looked rather terrified as he turned to look over at Rose. "We were just told to take you to a lake maybe three hours away from here and someone was to pick you all up thats all I know I swear." The prisoner said as Laya glared for a moment she wasnt sure what to think as Robin Hood nodded slightly and gestured the girls out of the tent and looked over towards Rose. "Whats up?" He asked looking at Rose as they were out of the tent and earshot of the mercenaries.

---

---

Robin Hood revealed when he would like to do with the men and Cassiopeia was slightly shocked but also disturbingly happy with the plan. She wasn’t sure if Robin Hood would go through with it or just said that to make the intruders panic a little to reveal more information. The answer to Rose’s question was vague and Cassi frowned. They could potentially find that location but it seemed a bit risky to Cassi.
The group walked out of the tent so Rose could ask her question privately. Once they were out of ear shot, Cassi looked at Rose curiously, wondering what the redhead was thinking. Cassiopeia stayed close to her sister, hoping whatever the plan was that they would remain close and get to the bottom of this.

---

---

Willow settled in close with her mother, enjoying the closeness and the contact. It reminded her of home, which shouldn’t be odd other than the fact that Willow had just met her mother only a couple hours ago. Maybe she would be fine with staying here. Aurora asked them all what they planned on doing after their potential victory and Willow thought maybe she had read her mind somehow.
”I’m not really sure… Would we be allowed to stay here after?” She wasn’t sure if they would have to leave and return back to their own world. Willow wasn’t sure she would be able to focus knowing what else was out there, that fairy tales were real.

---

---

---

Maddie's brows knit together as Aurora posed her question. It wasn't one he'd thought of much, in part because he worried thinking too much about the future may make him home sick enough to want to go back. He took another long drink from his water, placing the glass down and looking at his muddled reflection in it before looking to Colby. "I don't know. I hadn't really thought about it. Where we'd go, where we'd be welcome, or even what's wanted…" There wasn't much to do back in Kansas, but there were those who'd worry about him. There was his apartment with all his belongings, his life of independence. There was the shop where Maddie first met Colby, and the ones he'd frequent just to steal glances.

Maddie tried to think about it, the pros and the cons of the decision. But he couldn't well decide. After a moment, he had decidedly leaned against Colbys shoulder and rested his head there. "To be quite honest, I'll most likely be happy wherever he goes. Sure I have old memories and things I wish to keep. But those can be retrieved and recalled, and I can forge new memories and stories the more I press forward. I'm not as sure that it's about where I end up, rather the journey I take ong the way and those who stand beside me."

---

---

Megan's brief moment of anger with King Arthur and Queen Guinevere subsided, hearing that they would be joining them on this quest - good. She didn't feel a personal attachment to them, but that didn't mean she couldn't be disappointed if the royals had decided to let others fight for the good of the people in the land. She was still slightly suspicious of Arthur and Guinevere, as history taught her that there were no truly good royals, but maybe myths were an exception. Maybe they actually were good people put in positions of power by divine right or whatever excuse they were peddling that week. "Oh," Megan said. "Good."

She didn't know if she needed to apologize or not for being a bit snippy, but she hadn't been intentionally rude - well, beyond more or less alluding that kings should be beheaded, but it wasn't like King Arthur knew anything about Marie Antoinette. "I'm not used to seeing kings and queens who aren't either tyrants or puppets," Megan then explained. Despite growing up in Kansas, she spoke with a soft British accent - a relic of her youth in this world, she realized.

---

---

---

---

Rose nodded at the response from the prisoner and gave a feral grin at Robin Hood's idea for how to deal with them. She turned and followed Robin Hood out of the tent. "One since they came here to attack us they know where we are. Two if we can find this lake and drop off location we can turn it into a trap." Her smile hadn't dropped.

"Think about it Maleficent is expecting these guys to drop us off at this location and we get picked up, and then taken where? Probably somewhere close. We have Merlin. Maybe he can do a tracking spell or something and we get taken into her lair and make her sorely regret it. Or we just ambush her." She shrugged. She'd be happier just ambushing her.

---

---

"Thank you." Colby said to the waiter before the disappeared. He looked at Aurora as she posed her question. Life in Kansas didn't feel real anymore. But he had friends and family there. Even if they weren't blood. Even though they had lied to him his whole life about being adopted. He did love his parents. He also had felt like he had a bit of a calling there. He took care of animals. He wanted to become a vet tech.

Here though he had magic. Once they dealt with the problem that was Maleficent he could be a wizard. "I'd like to go back and get a few things and tie up a few loose ends." He said. "But I think I'd want to be here. Well not necessarily Agrabah." He gave a bright crooked smile. "I really want to test myself at tea party hosting and that isn't easy to do at home.

---

---

All of the options she was now given did not sound very appealing to her. Wandering around the camp wasn't exactly something she felt like doing, helping Merlin didn't seem to be a good suggestion either. Don't get her wrong, Merlin seemed to be the one person she might somewhat trust in this ragtag group, but he also was a wizard. She seriously doubted that he would ever really need help with any sort of thing, plus she seriously doubted she'd be able to do too much to help him with whatever he was doing or whatever.

Then the last option, sticking around in the tent they were in to help Rapunzel with whatever it was that needed to be done here, and that was the worst option in her mind. She wasn't entirely sure still that she wanted anything to do with Rapunzel really, that was something that she needed to get to later, if she ever figured it out. "I think I'll go wander around a bit..." she ended up saying, before she got up, and left the tent. There wasn't much of an explanation, but she didn't really care over all about it.

---

---

Jack personally had sort of been expecting there to be yelling or more arguing or everything. He was pleasantly surprised that they hadn't gone around and started having issues with that. Megan seems to have calmed down a bit, though he could understand what her position was when it comes to monarchies. History back home didn't exactly paint most monarchs and rulers in a good light, obviously there were a few exceptions, but a lot throughout history weren't exactly the greatest of people. That's just how things were in general.

He was a bit glad to hear that Arthur was planning on going along with them, and that he'd been trying to plot out ways to take down Maleficent in general. That was definitely a good thing to hear, but right now, they only could wait around until they were supposed to meet up with the people who were going to help them get to the city under the ocean to make things in general. He was a bit curious as to how Arthur and Guinevere would react to Meg more or less stating how most rulers she's heard of are evil or just tyrants in general. This was going to be a long day clearly.

Agraba:

Aurora turned to look at her daughter for a moment and smiled towards her. "You are more than welcome to stay here if thats what you choose to do, you are an adult after all anyway." Aurora told her, as their waiter came back a few minutes later with their food, and handed everyone their plates of food, before heading off to tend to the other customers in the restaurant. "We'll figure it all out later then, we do have somethings to do, once you guys are all finished eating we'll head on out." Mad Hatter said as he set down a few cold coins down onto the table. Aurora, Mad Hatter as well as Cheshire Cat all finished up eating their food rather quickly as Cheshire looked over at a nearby clock, they were going to be late. "We should get going." He said as he got up and headed out of the restaurant. Aurora and Mad Hatter got up as well and waited for the three of them to finish up eating their meal, before heading down a dark and shady looking alleyway.

---

---

---

---

A few hours later it was about night time now, after Guinevere had finished making everyone some food to eat she turned to look at Arthur for a moment as he had gotten up and started to get changed into some clothes and a hood that way no one in town would really see them. Sierra finished eating the rest of her food as well to and stretched slightly. "I'm ready to get going if you all are?" She said looking at everyone else in the room. Hansel and Gretel were both on watch duty for awhile as they looked outside the window, there wasnt much going on outside as Belle gave Sierra a slight nod as she got up, Guinevere was nice enough to lend her some new clothes as well.

Sierra stood up and stretched slightly as she headed outside, the sun was down now which was a good thing as she followed shortly behind Hansel and Gretel, Arthur and Guinevere were making sure that their little cabin was locked up and all of the lights were off as well to. "The town isnt to far from here really follow me, and stick close as well to." Arthur said as he walked down a trail that was set up near the cabin that took them back to the town they were in a few hours ago.

---

---

---

---

Robin Hood closed the tent behind him as he let the rest of his men do with whatever they decided to do with the attackers, as he turned to look over at Rose as she suggested her plan. It was a really risky one at that, and he didnt want either of his daughters anywhere near the evil woman. "I really don't like the idea of you all playing as bait, and we already do have our mission and can't spare any men to watch over you all for the rescue mission." Robin Hood said to Rose, but he knew that the decision was ultimately up to them all, as they were all grown adults as well to. Layla raised her hand and nodded slightly towards her father, they did fight Maleficent once earlier and it didnt really turn out to well the first time. "I kinda have to agree with pops here, and we don't even know what would be waiting for us there either." Layla pointed out there were just way to many variables and Maleficent's people might actually know where they are to.

Rapunzel nodded slightly towards Rosalia and sighed she didnt want to force her daughter to do anything that she wanted to do. "I'll be here then if you do need me." Rapunzel said to her as Rosalia left the tent, she'd be able to see Layla and the others outside of the tent where the prisoners were, and could hear what everyone was talking about as well to, when Merlin came over to Rosalia. "How are you doing. and do you need anyhing?" He asked her.

---

---

Cassiopeia listened to Rose’s plan and was impressed with the idea of it but agreed with her father and sister. The risk would be great and the three of them didn’t have enough skill to take on Maleficent or her men. Sure, Cassiopeia was getting a crash course on shooting people rather than animals but she didn’t like it.
”It’s a good idea, Rose but I don’t think we’re ready for a boss fight yet. I mean, don’t get me wrong, every good Tarantino movie has the odds stacked against the main character which makes them more badass but I think we should stick to the original plan and go after her men rather than let her take us.” Cassi glanced at Robin Hood, wondering if that was still the original plan before she looked back at Rose. ”Besides, how am I supposed to save you if we all get captured,” Cassi teased.

---

---

Aurora seemed like she would be glad to have Willow’s company but left the decision to her. Willow nearly forgot her age at that moment until Aurora reminded them that they were all adults. Being in a foreign place and not knowing how anything worked, it had almost seemed easier to let someone else be in control but Willow would have to learn to look after herself here.
”Well I guess helping you would be the easiest way to determine what life might be like,” she noted. ”I think after this I’ll have a better answer.” It was a good decision Willow thought, to wait and see how this fight went.
Willow turned to her food, finding it oddly pleasant despite the differences. They weren’t given long to eat though when Chesire stood, saying they had better get going. Willow had the image of a hare tapping impatiently on its watch before dashing off. Willow shoveled the remaining food into her mouth before standing as well.

---

---

A few hours had gone by in Arthur and Guinevere's small cabin in the woods. Megan wasn't as extremely uncomfortable as she had been when she first encountered them, but she still felt tense and awkward. She couldn't help but feel that Arthur and Guinevere felt a connection to her that she just didn't share. She didn't remember them. She didn't know them. They didn't really know her - maybe they knew someone she had once been, but Megan hardly remembered her childhood in Camelot. Those memories and that person were gone. It was really just her surname and her faintly British accent that remained.

Arthur had taken up the leadership position, standing on the trail outside of the cabin. Megan was outside as well with her belongings, ready to take the next portion of their journey. The closer they were able to get to overthrowing Maleficent, the better. She hadn't been in this land very long, but Megan knew that Maleficent was a cruel and wicked tyrant - someone she would have adored to see in a film or a book, but in practice, she despised. Dark things were only fun when they weren't oppressing people's freedom and free will.

---

The food looked amazing as his plate was brought over to him. It appeared that Colby had a few affairs to deal with back in Kansas as well before decidingly settling down in this whole new world. Maddie began to eat his food, savoring the flavours and heat of the dish when he realized the speed at which the others were eating. Perhaps his father and the others didn't have much time for leisurely meals, opting to scarf food down whenever it came so that they could've forward to the next objective. He certainly could see how someone could build a new habit from living on the run, though he'd hoped that they at least could slow down now that they lived in a place where they ran a shop. Cheshire looked towards a clock to check the time, and it made Maddie curious as to if all Wonderland creatures were constantly behind in time.

Maddie gave a slight sigh of disappointment before he began to attempt to finish his meal. He took the slightly toasted bread and began to scoop up swaths of sauce, slicing a bit of his egg and placing it atop the piece. He took a bite, savoring the flavour for only a moment before repeating the procedure until his plate was quickly wiped clean. Maddie finished his water and finally got up, looking at the strange coins on the table as he followed the rest. "Do you think Oz is real? If so, what're the chances Elphaba isn't a bad Witch at all?"

---

---

---

---

Rose listened to the arguments against her plan and nodded. It was fair. Her plan was on the extreme side. "I understand." She felt a flash of temptation to go to the lake herself. But that was quickly ignored. She had no desire to end up caught by Maleficent alone.

She smiled at Cassiopeia. Then took a deep breath. "Can I talk with you alone for a moment?" Cassi nodded and followed Rose away from Robin Hood and Layla. She found a spot that gave them enough privacy. "I'd like to tell you I have feelings for you that I can't ignore anymore. I need you to know about it, if you don't reciprocate that's fine. I can move on. But I had to tell you."

Colby ate his food quickly. It was good. He wished he could savor it. He nodded though understanding that apparently there was something on the agenda coming up. They did have a bit of a plan, unfortunately, they couldn't plan here very well. It was not a great place to plan. He finished his meal.

"That would be wild." Colby laughed at Maddie's question. He turned to Willow. "I kind of agree, I'd like to see what this place is like without her running things." He stood up and joined the others. Letting them lead the way out.

She just sort of waved her off, very much not wanting to really talk much with Rapunzel anymore. It was a little weird to her, to suddenly find her mother, or well meet her. That was the sort of thing she used to imagine happening when she was little. Though those thoughts disappeared after a little while though as she got older and she saw everything with a lot more of a cynical view of everything in her life. Problem was she couldn't get rid of the little part of her mind that did want to know her parents, that was always there, and usually she ignored it.

When she got out of the tent, she sort of glanced around a bit, seeing what was going on with the other group as they were talking, clearly no longer really near the prisoners or whatever anymore. She still wasn't entirely sure what to think of them either, everything was just super weird to her. Rosalia got pulled out of her thoughts though rather quickly by Merlin walking up to her and asking her several questions in a few seconds. "I'm fine, and no, I don't need anything," she commented with a bit of a shrug in response.

Things were a bit strange to him, considering the fact that it was a bit clear that Meg didn't really want too much interactions with her bio parents. It was also weird for them to be sitting in a cabin, eating food with King Arthur, and waiting to go meet up with their guides that were going to go take them to a city under the ocean. Since that didn't sound strange at all when you spoke all of that out loud. Then again, from what he knew, it was kind of the more normal sort of thing for the others involved in this situation.

When they were all ready to go for the most part, he walked to stick by his sister, since he was a bit worried about her, and curious about what was going on through her head. Since they were sort of just going to be walking back to town really, he figured now would probably be a decent time to actually ask her about it. "Everything alright Meg?" he whispered to her, keeping his voice down so that the others didn't overhear, figuring it would be better to just ask that straight out to her.
