He makes it sound like everything is fine, just hot chocolate and a trip to the park. Like they really are home and this is the life they left behind when they arrived on the Moira. The finer points of his suggestion don't escape her. They can't; it's too much of an emphasis on Henry. It'd be one thing if he had questions about their son that made sense in the moment, but the answers he'd like are little details that he's supposed to be able to ask Henry about himself. Favorite candy, favorite subject. He's supposed to have an opportunity to get those answers from their son, and maybe it is a little telling when he goes to her for that information instead.

But if it's a hint, it's one Emma doesn't want. She doesn't like where it leads - what it suggests about their future. David says that family always finds each other, and Neal found her in outer space. That should mean something. Being a family against impossible odds? It has to mean something.

"Well - he's a kid, he likes candy in general. I think his favorite is an Apollo bar, he tends to slide one or two in the cart whenever we go grocery shopping." Which is usually followed by Emma adding another one or two of her own. Melt them down and they're great for hot chocolate (but they usually don't last long enough for that in the loft).

When she falls into step beside him, somehow his reaction is somehow more important than hers. She knows he was sent back to the Enchanted Forest, but he's acting like it's been a lot longer than he mentioned. "You okay?"
