We're all stories. Tell me yours, and I'll tell you mine.

(Preferably over tea.)

Don't forget to start with "Once upon a time..."

Great. [ Now it's Jefferson's turn to sigh. ] More magic? [ And Dr. Jekyll, huh... ] Did he bring Mr. Hyde with him?

[jolting]

Of course more magic. [he shrugs. Kind of goes with the territory, bro]

No. They’re trying to get rid of him. It’s a long story, and I was honestly just happy having another scientist around.

[royalpassport]

[ UGHHHhhhhhhhhh ]

Yeah, I guess they're in short supply back in Storybrooke.

[jolting]

Painfully so. But of course I was brought here just when I met him, so I couldn’t even enjoy it.

At least there are some scientific minds here.

[ Jefferson makes a thoughtful noise and nods. It's true, there's definitely some science afoot here. And magic, too. It's strange to see them coexisting, really. Every other land he's ever been to was always heavily weighted in favor of one or the other.

After a moment, he speaks up again. ]

Do you think you're going to stay here? Or return to Storybrooke one day?

[jolting]

[he thinks about that for a moment, sipping his tea]

I'm not sure if it makes a difference one way or another.

[truthfully he likes it more here. The Prometheus Lab, hanging out with Lucy, the fact that magic isn't crashing through his lab and he's not being attacked... But then he can't help but think of the hospital in Storybrooke, and all the citizens who need him as a doctor]
