I'm guessing you know he's here.

I am aware Rumple is here.

At least I assume he;s who you are on about?

Right. How... exactly are you taking that?

Listen, I know I should have been asking about you long before now. I should have been there for you like I said I would be. The time it really counted I wasn't. I don't know if it will mean anything now but I'm sorry. This thing with Rumple might be hard so if you'll let me I'll try harder to have your back this time.

I'm taking it rather well. Although I must admit it is strange that our timelines are different.

You shouldn't apologize. I like to believe things will work out even if they take time. I guess actually being in Genessia has really helped me think things over. However if I ever need you, I will always let you know and the same goes to you. You need someone and I'll be there.

I have a lot of regrets, Belle. I'll never stop being sorry for them. I thought most of those regrets were in the past, but I've hardly been a very good friend to you recently. So I'm going to keep apologizing.

I'm glad it hasn't been as bad for you as I was afraid it would be, but I'm not about to pry for details.

[ A few moments later... ]

Thank you, by the way. I guess you're always going to be nicer to me than I deserve, huh?

If we went down the not being a good friend route, I would be apologizing to you. We both have had situations in which we cannot help and we haven't been there for each other, but it just means we learn from it.

Everyone deserves that little bit of kindness. Unless they give me a reason to not want to, of course.

Right. I'll do better next time.

Hopefully I never give you a reason then.
