[ That just...wasn't what he was expecting at all, so he thinks about it, just letting himself think back to what he knows, if he's ever heard of anything like that before. ]
Wow, I...honestly don't know if there's ever been anything like that back home. And not because I've never heard of it? Because I have an issue with my memory too. If we ever came across anything like that, I definitely can't remember it at all. What I do know is that curses work a little differently than a voidfish. With a curse, it's not so much that everything is gone, it's more like it was....overridden. With new memories.
[ So, not quite the same, but still. ]
I'm sorry, Lup. That just...that sucks. I'll still talk to her though because Regina's seen more things in different realms than I think I've ever been told. Might not hurt to talk to her when you're ready.
[ The real person would probably be Rumplestiltskin, but he's not here so they have to take what they can get. ]
[Yeah, that's definitely different than how the voidfish operates. In the case of her brother, his brain had to adjust, had to struggle to fill in the gaps of his memories where Lup once existed. It turned a struggling childhood of the two of them against the rest of the world into a lonely existence of only him, with not a single other soul to trust. Taako's still Taako, sure, but he isn't the man she spent two centuries with, so much of him changed by the loss of her.
Maybe that's what is worst of all. Lup hates seeing her twin this closed off and cynical, untrusting of everything and everyone, including her. He shouldn't be like this.]
Thanks, Henry. [It's soft and surprisingly sincere, for her.] Maybe I will. Chat with her, that is. [She's trying not to put too much hope into it, but it's impossible for her spirits to not lighten at the idea of someone else to talk to. Maybe they'll know.]
Your memory is all fucked up with too? And not from Wonderland, I'm guessing? You got cursed?
Yeah, not from Wonderland. Home has a lot of cursing and revenge between people and others just tend to get caught up in it. Luckily, I've been in Wonderland so long I know who my parents are because they've been here, too. But if I didn't have that? I wouldn't know at all.
Just three, really. Both my moms, and my grandfather. In our world, he's uh...the oldest magic? Fairytales took part of his story so you might know of him as Rumplestiltskin? If you do at all, that's more of an obscure one-off story.
[Very prestigious. And a little spooky. Lup likes the sound of it.]
Can't say I have, but never really delved much into fairytales as a kid. [No books or home for that to happen.] But I'll check with my pal, see if she's heard of 'im. Cuz that would be pretty rad.
So your grandpa's all famous, huh? What about you? He musta passed some of that magic down to you, right?

You've got a big family around these parts, huh? All of 'em magic users or just some?
