( he's not proud of what he did to the little princess, but he needed to win back Cora's favor and after Emma had betrayed him, that was not an easy task. looking back now, yes, he wishes he could change it, but he can't. and if he hadn't made that choice he may have never found his way to the path he was on now.

granted, that path might have turned into a dead end, what with Emma finding her true love alive in this wretched place, but his villainy was something he wanted to change in and of himself, not for a chance at Emma Swan. he doubts the warrior is interested in that conversation, though, and frankly he's not looking to have it with her anyway. )

Do they? Because last I checked, a noise was just a noise. ( annoying, yes, but ambient annoying noise was the least of their problems. he figured it was smarter to just get distance from it and let it stop on its own. ) I take it you've just arrived, but this place is built to drive people as mad as possible, I suggest you stop taking it so strongly and letting an aggravating noise discomfit you.
