I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse just yet.

( may never know, if he can't pin down Bae's location. if he exists he'll need to see it to be sure. )

I'll do what I can to suggest people head that way.

[armoured]

[He won't push on why it might be a curse just yet, he doesn't know Hook well enough to pry into her personal life. At least not for another few days...]

I bet your friend will be glad to see you, I know I'd be glad if a friend like you showed up when I was lost in the snow.

[villainously]

( he's not sure that he agrees Baelfire would be happy to see him, but he has to look for him anyway. he can't not, he has to know if he's really here. )

I can't leave him on his own, not if I can help it. Hopefully we can meet up after.

[armoured]

Yeah.

[Something about Hook's voice makes him pause, and then have to ask.]

Is he someone important to you?

[villainously]

He was. Once.

( Hook doesn't know what they are now... and he has no one to blame but himself. )

[armoured]

[Al makes a soft noise that might be understanding, or sympathy, or simply a confirmation that he's heard.]

Do you... want to talk about it?

[He knows they're quite new friends, but Al is always willing to listen.]

It might help.

[villainously]

( it's probably not a terrible idea, to talk about those crawling ugly thoughts that he can't quite shake. Hook has never been good at that sort of thing, though. )

No. I'm all right. I ought to head out.

Stay safe, Al. I'll see you soon.

[armoured]

Killian, wait--!

[Hn. He feels so sorry for him, this situation was hard enough without throwing in complicated past friendships to the mix.]

Just... please, take care. If you need to talk, I'm here.

[But he can't force him to, or make him stay, so he'll keep quiet from then on. Hopefully he will hear from Killian again soon.]

[villainously]

I'll remember. You stay safe, too.

( it's complicated, yes, but he's not going to dwell on it. he doesn't have time. a better man would be able to talk about it, but this one can't. )

[armoured]

[He feels so bad about letting Hook go when he can tell that his new friend is in turmoil, but he doesn't press it.

He just hangs up. But better believe he will be keeping a sharp eye out.]
