[ It helps that he tends to have A LOT OF FREE TIME. ]
I do. How many tuxedos? [ There's a brief pause, then: ] And what's the occasion? If I may ask.

Congratulations to you both. [ He means it sincerely, though he's a bit subdued about it by nature. He supposes it makes sense, that people here would find love that would ultimately lead to marriage-- though he's pretty sure that won't ever be in the cards for him again. ] I'd be happy to take the job. How soon do you need the alterations?
[ Subdued is fine with Rafa. He likes Jefferson's work, and he's being something of a perfectionist over this whole thing. ]
Thank you.
The date is set for February Sixteenth. I would need them before that, to make sure the fit is right for everyone. How long do you think you will need?

For simple alterations? No more than a day. I could finish complicated alterations within five to seven. I may have an apprentice now who can lend me a hand, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
Message.
[ that's all she has to send him, right?yes, she's permanently twelve years old, thanks for noticing. ]
[ that's all she has to send him, right?
[ MUST YOU TROLL HIM, EVEN WITHOUT YOUR MEMORIES, EMMA?
...tbh he kind of likes it. ]
Message received.

[ SHE MUST.
it's too fun not to.]
That's actually not helpful at all.

I don't want to get in the habit of being helpful. Then people start to expect things from you.
[ He must be in a good mood, since he's teasing instead of sulking around being MISERABLE. ]

Don't worry, Jefferson. I can't imagine you being helpful.
[ let's not get carried away here. ]

Good, then you won't be disappointed.
So: a message. What's the occasion?

I am. Among other places, I suppose.
[ Wonderland, etc. ]
To what do I owe the pleasure of a call from Captain Hook?

[ Texting him for no reason??? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS? ]
oh
[ Wow, articulate. ]
I've been working and failing at cuddling. What about you?

Aren't we all, mate?
[ Wonderland isn't really all it's cracked up to be. ]
Well, I've been attempting a roommate hunt with the help of a mate. But what I've decided in all my searching is that not a single person not from our world would understand the strangeness of home.

[ friendship? is this friendship?
nvm madness is probably more like it. ]
same. you'd think the physical intimacy would come more easily around here. at this rate my son will be graduating before they give me what I asked for.

[ Jefferson pauses, the silence perhaps indicating his surprise. He's been in the market for a roommate, himself, though he hasn't exactly made it a priority-- for obvious, 'I'm antisocial and used to living as a recluse' reasons. So this is certainly a serendipitous call, one that could benefit the both of them, and yet he's thrown by it all the same. ]
You're certainly right about that. [ After a short beat, he adds: ] Was it process of elimination, then?
[ Because seriously, WHY WOULD ANYONE CHOOSE TO LIVE WITH THE MAD HATTER? ]

And it definitely doesn't help that the city's attempts at encouraging intimacy tends to amount to parties with way too many people.
[ Of course, for Jefferson, something like... five people is too many. So he often avoids the city-sponsored events. ]
Or speed dating. [ G R O S S. ]
At least time's supposed to stand still while we're here. Otherwise, my daughter would be graduating right alongside him.
[ Hey, it works on a sympathy level and as a stealth reference to the fact that their kids are actually classmates! ]

[ No one would understand how he's well over two-hundred years old and still kicking. No one would understand Wonderland or the Enchanted Forest or bloody Neverland. No one would understand any of the insanity. ]
Well, if you consider the only one eliminated was Prince Charming. Technically you're second choice. Would have been first if I had realized he was shacked up already with Emma's husband.

And too many mozzarella sticks.
[ the people are fine, the free food is free food - until you overdose on fried cheese and then it's just a mistake.
she's tempted to point out it isn't actually possible for time to stand still, and then Emma remembers who she's talking to. something tells her Jefferson wouldn't appreciate the reminder.]
Speed dating? Whatever happened to getting drunk in a bar and hoping for the best?

[ Hey, look, Jefferson's looking a bit younger. And more disheveled. And Enchanted Forest-y. And he's also incredibly confused. ]
Why would I need a room for hats? [ He tilts his head, because he knows you, but it's taking a moment to remember how and from where. ] Oh! You're Captain Hook! [ Pause. He's getting a place to live with Captain Hook? Have a slow, cautious: ] Are we...?
