Very funny, Admiral, likening my daughter to a cat.

We should talk.

[makeitwork]

Why?

[inhistorybooks]

Because it's perfectly reasonable to be upset about what happened, and I'd rather you talk about it with me than bottle it up or take it out on someone else?

[makeitwork]

How long have you been here?

[inhistorybooks]

About a yeah and a half.

[makeitwork]

Is this common?

[inhistorybooks]

The first port I was around for, my wife and I were married with three kids and a couple months ago, my sister swapped places with me for a couple days. So, I don't know if I'd call that common, but it happens more often than I think we'd all like it to.

[makeitwork]

Not that. I understand the magic. I meant my daughter.

[inhistorybooks]

And I meant the magic messin' around with your loved ones and personal life is probably gonna happen more than once. Believe me, I wish I could give you a better answer.

[makeitwork]

Great.

[inhistorybooks]

Did you find her?

[makeitwork]

No. [Sorry single syllables are coming back :c]

[inhistorybooks]

[Sigh. :c] Do you want to get a drink?

[makeitwork]

No.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

Look, I get it. It sucks to have the Admiral dick around with something like that, and we don't have to talk about what happened durin' the breach or why she was a cat, but I would like to talk to you about her.

[Private]

[makeitwork]

She isn't a topic of discussion.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

How come?

[Private]

[makeitwork]

Because she's my daughter, and I don't know you at all.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

Well, we're gonna have to get to know each other somehow. What do you want to know about me?

[Private]

[makeitwork]

Nothing. I know enough already.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

I sincerely doubt that.

Re: [Private]

[makeitwork]

You chose to come here, to a place that you don't belong for a man that you never speak to and for entirely selfish reasons.

I know enough.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

My entirely selfish reason? Is because a group of racist assholes stole my DNA and my wife's, and threw 'em together to make a baby to prove humans and aliens shouldn't coexist. They messed up the cloning process, and she ended up dying a few days after we found out she even existed. The Admiral said he'll bring her back if I graduate an inmate.

Now I know you wanna get back to Grace, and all I wanna do is go home with Elizabeth and T'Pol, and the fastest way we're gonna achieve that is if we work together on this. Diggin' your heels in and bein' mad at the system's not gonna change anything, and it's not gonna get you back to her.

[Private]

[makeitwork]

Did you even read that file on me? I don't get to go back to her. She doesn't know who I am.

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

We can change that, here. But we're gonna have to work together. [OR WE'RE GONNA DIE ALONE couldn't help myself not sorry.]

[Private]

[makeitwork]

You cannot change that. [You don't have magic, don't shit me >|]

[Private]

[inhistorybooks]

The Admiral can. [He has magic so there.] And there are people here who might be able to help. But you're never gonna get out of this place without my help.

[Private]

[makeitwork]

It doesn't work like that. I've been here long enough to know that my only options are to return to the curse or stay here as a Warden.

Nobody but Emma can break the curse. That's how it's built.

[deadliestviper]

He did what?

[makeitwork]

The cat I lost? Her name was Grace. My daughter's name is Grace.

[imfollowinghim]

You have a daughter?

[makeitwork]

Yes.

[imfollowinghim]

What happened to her?

[makeitwork]

A witch.

[imfollowinghim]

Is she alive?

[makeitwork]

If you call Storybrooke a life.

[strangehistorian]

Was it at least a sapient cat?

[makeitwork]

I don't know. I never found the thing.

[strangehistorian]

I'm terribly sorry.
