Rachel went in, pulling her hair in behind her. It had gotten even longer, and now brushed the ground if she didn't keep it braided or pinned up somehow. She moved over to make room for Killian.

Gold managed to find them a small cave under an outcropping of rock, and he gestured for Tina to go in.

"This should be safe enough for the night," he said.

Hook moved in after her, settling in for the night. "Well," he said, his voice cheerful, "this is cozy."

Tina moved inside after glancing around. "At least there aren't any bears," she said with a brief grin. "And it's not wet."

"It's not bad at all," Rachel said, leaning against him.

"It will suffice," Gold agreed. He straightened out his leg a bit, discreetly massaging the knee a bit.

Hook settled in there, putting his arm around her. It would be fine until morning.

Tina noticed anyway but she didn't say anything. Instead she leaned against his good side.

Rachel snuggled in, her head on his shoulder.

"Love you," she murmured. "Not sure if I'm going to get another chance to say it."

Gold put an arm around her, pulling her close.

"I'm sorry you got mixed up in this," he said to her. "This isn't your fight."

"You will," Hook said. "I'll make sure of it." He paused for a moment. "But I love you too."

"It's not like you pulled me in," Tina said, though she snuggled in with him happily enough. "It's not your fault."

Rachel smiled, blushing a bit in pleasure.

"I know," she said softly. "But I like hearing you say it. I might need you to say it more often."

"But you were pulled in," Gold replied. "Because you were near me. And I am sorry for that."

Hook chuckled quietly. "I can do that," he said. "Especially once we're off this bloody island."

Tina shrugged a bit. "Long as I get out of here alive I'm fine," she said.

Rachel smiled again and snuggled closer to him.

"I'll make sure you do," Gold said. "Trust me on that, I will get you off this island."

Hook settled in, more than content to just spend the rest of the night there.

"You will get off this island too," Tina said, leaning back so she could look at him. "Or I'll find a way to make you regret it."

"Dear, if I don't get off this island, there is nothing you can do to make me regret it more than I would already," Gold pointed out, although he was smirking just a bit.

"I'll just have to find something," Tina said, though she grinned and cuddled back into his side anyway.

Gold pulled her a bit closer, keeping his arm around her.

"For now, we need to focus on escaping," he said. "Nobody leaves this island without permission, and Pan never gives permission, so we need to find an alternate way out."

"Yes, well, I'm fresh out of magic beans," Tina said, leaning into him again. "What else is there?"

"There are always back doors," Gold said. "We merely need to find it. Neverland is its own place, there is nothing else around it. To get in or out, you must either have Pan's blessing, or you have to fly."

"Flying sounds... difficult." Tina shivered briefly. That was one thing she'd be fine not doing.

"It is," Gold said. "Especially when one considers the size and weight of a pirate ship."

"Yeah." Tina shook her head. "So for now we're kind of screwed is what I'm getting out of this."

"Essentially," Gold said. "Which is entirely the reason we're here, I suspect."

Tina made a face. "I wonder why Cora came here, really," she said. "I mean, she knows better than to just attack you now. Does she think Pan would give her some kind of advantage?"

"I believe she does," Gold said, nodding. "I don't know what sort of edge he promised, but I have no doubt he will double-cross her in the end."

Tina grumped wordlessly and settled against him more firmly. She didn't like the sound of that, not at all.

"I know," Gold murmured. "I'll figure this out, not to worry."

"I just have a bad feeling about all of this," Tina muttered, frowning. "Just... Be careful, okay?"

"As careful as I ever am," Gold replied. He kissed her forehead. "I don't plan on dying."
