"Or Snow," Red agreed. Snow knew everyone, after all. She and the Prince would likely know best.
|
Granny nodded. "Go call them," she ordered. "Their food will be up in a few minutes." She kept her eyes on the two girls, though, both worried and suspicious.
|
Red nodded and went to use the phone in the back. It was the middle of the day, so she would likely have to make a few calls before she tracked down Snow and the Prince. Idly, she wished she could just go track them herself, it would take way less time.
|
Tina had been watching the other two, and she frowned a little.
"It seems we've caused something of an upset," she murmured. "I wonder why?" |
"I dunno," Rachel replied softly. "It's a small town, maybe they don't often get visitors?"
|
"It's possible. I mean, we are kind of out here in the middle of the woods." Tina was quiet for a few moments, just watching everyone around them. "Well, after this we can take a look around."
|
Rachel nodded.
"Sounds like a plan to me," she said. "I'm sure we saw a couple of shops on the drive in, right? Maybe we can take a look around." |
Tina grinned. "Sounds good to me." She grinned easily and nodded to Red when she brought their food. "And, of course, shopping is more fun on a full stomach."
|
Rachel grinned.
"Right," she agreed. The thanked Red when she brought out the food, but didn't catch the faint worried look on the waitress's face. |
Tina ate her lunch at a sedate pace before she paid for her half of the bill.
"Well, we about ready to go explore?" |
"Yup," Rachel chirped as she paid her half of the bill and got up from the table. "Let's go."
|
Tina grinned as she led the way outside and started walking, looking around. She paused when she saw Gold's shop, grinning briefly.
"Look, a cute little shop! We could go look." |
"No," Rachel said. "I know how you are about pawn shops and antiques. No."
|
"Oh come on! We'll just take a look. I won't even buy anything!" Tina looked at her with a little pout.
|
"I know you, Tina, you'll want everything, and we don't have room for that in the car," Rachel said, unaffected by the pout.
|
"I swear I won't buy anything! Please? Just ten minutes?" Tina looked at her pleadingly.
|
Rachel looked at her.
"Ten minutes," she allowed. |
Tina grinned and clapped delightedly, heading into Gold's shop. She glanced up when the bell tinkled, and she started looking around the shop curiously.
|
Gold heard the bell in the main part of the shop and immediately left his office, picking his way expertly around the bits and pieces in the shop.
"Good day, ladies," he greeted. "Welcome to my little shop." He watched them as they wandered about, smirking just the slightest bit. He knew these faces, indeed he did. And he knew they hadn't been in Storybrooke before now. |
Tina shot him a smile before she continued poking around, although she only looked at things, as she'd promised. She didn't try to buy anything.
"How did you come across so many things?" She couldn't help but ask, looking at some little glass decorations. |
"Patience," Gold replied easily. "A little bit of bartering here and there. Every piece has its story, you know."
|
"I'm sure. Some of these look very old." Tina trailed her fingers over a few books. "It's quite an impressive collection."
|
"Why thank you," Gold replied with a bit of a grin. "Might I interest you ladies in anything? A collection of glass flowers, perhaps, or a silver hair set?" He looked at them both.
|
"I think we're just looking around, thanks." Tina did pause when she noticed the glass flowers in a vase, something pinging in the back of her mind. She blinked and stepped closer to get a better look.
|
Rachel, on the other hand, was distracted by a set of silver tools: a comb, a brush, a mirror, and a pair of hairpins. They seemed kind of familiar, somehow, even though they looked relatively new, but she was sure she'd never seen them before.
"Well, let me know if you have questions, then," Gold said. "I'll just be... in my office." |
