without your past, you could never have arrived so wondrously and brutally, by design or some violent, exquisite happenstance

...here.

he  shouldn’t  have  commented  on  it,  he  shouldn’t  have  uttered  a  word.  his  time  spent  there  would’ve  suggested  he  keep  his  abilities  to  a  minimum,  yet  it  seems  that  forces  beyond  one’s  typical  comprehension  where  common  around  these  parts.   ❛   it’s  just  loud,  i  wanted  to  make  sure  you  were  okay   ⎯⎯⎯   not  that  you  can’t  take  care  of  yourself,  ma’am.   ❜   the  waves  of  azure  lapping  within  his  eyes  were  nothing  but  candid  and  open  as  a  hand  arose  to  tap  against  the  bottom  of  his  ear.   ❛   super  hearing.  i’m  kal.   ❜

‘   oh …   ’   it’s a quiet sound that leaves her lips, nearly imperceptible. that is, if you didn’t have super hearing. she isn’t surprised by the facts as much as she was by his candor on the subject. though things were less than normal in storybrooke, they surely didn’t go around advertising it. that was mostly out of fear of the inhabitants of this realm, she supposes. if you had no reason to fear, you have no reason to hide.   ‘   well, i’m regina and i can very well take care of myself.   ’   she begins stern, but her expression softens just a tad.   ‘   but i do appreciate it. it’s not unwelcome.   ’   after all, was there anything unwelcome about a man like him checking up on you ? not likely.

her dark brows furrow at the sound of his voice, chocolate irises shifting up to gaze at him with widened eyes.   ‘   i   -   i’m   …    sorry   ?   i didn’t realize.   ’   she isn’t sure what to say, unsure of how he could hear her heartbeat in the first place. her heart was racing, but he shouldn’t know that.
