"If it does, I don't notice it anymore," Rachel said, accepting the cup. "I like living on the ship."

"Good, long as you don't get into too much trouble out there." Red grinned teasingly.

"Hush, you," Rachel said, blushing slightly. "Killian is a perfect gentleman."

Red just grinned. "Well, you'll have to be sure and come visit," she said. "We don't get to see you enough."

"I'll see what I can do," Rachel said. "There's nothing stopping you from coming to see me, you know. Nothing stopped you before."

"Nothing except figuring out where the ship is," Red pointed out. "No one but Tina knows where you're staying now."

"And you know where Tina is," Rachel pointed out in return. "Besides, Red... Aren't you like really good at tracking?"

"It's difficult to track when there is no trail," Red said, rolling her eyes. "And since you haven't been to town, and last time I went to see Tina Rumplestiltskin threatened me..."

"He's possessive of his things," Rachel commented. "But Tina's been to see me, a few times now." She waved a hand. "Doesn't matter, we'll figure something out."

"Yes we will, because I know Emma and Snow will be glad to have you visit," Red said. "And if you don't come visit I'll go carry you off the ship."

"Oh no~" Rachel teased. Then she blinked. "They would really want me to visit?" she asked. "I mean, I didn't exactly know anyone from before..."

"I know," Red said. "But things are different this time. They invited Gold, didn't they?" She shrugged. "There's not as much here as before. We all need to stick together, including you. So even though they didn't know you well before, they do want to know you now."

"I guess," Rachel said. She was quiet for a moment. "I guess I still kind of feel like an outsider. Everyone else has always known each other, and I... didn't. I kind of feel like I'm intruding."

"Don't be ridiculous," Red said, and then smiled a bit. "You can't intrude where you're welcome. And you're always welcome with me, you know that."

Rachel grinned a bit.

"Thanks, Red," she said.

"Any time." Red grinned. "Tell Tina, too. Tell her that Granny misses her doing all the baking, too."

Red laughed a bit.

"I'll tell her," she said. "If you don't come across her first. She's wearing green and gold tonight, it's actually really pretty. I think I last saw her chatting with Emma."

"I might go looking for her in a bit," Red said with a grin. "Green and gold, huh? I bet it suits her."

"It does," Rachel said, nodding. "It's really very nice." She grinned. "From what I gather, Rumplestiltskin made it for her."

Red blinked at that. Twice.

"Really?" she asked, looking surprised still.

Rachel nodded.

"Yeah," she said. "I was surprised, too."

"Wait, does he...?" Red trailed off. She didn't even want to say it aloud. But she thought she might be right.

"I kind of think so," Rachel said, nodding. "He treats her really well, at least."

"Huh. Never thought I'd see that happen." Red grinned. "Well, good for her. I'm glad she's doing well."

Rachel nodded in agreement.

"What about you?" she asked. "How have you been, now that we've covered Tina and I already?"
