Emma & Jefferson~
It would in fact help. Not that Jefferson knew that, but it did give him a little more strength, the know that there was a way out and all he had to do was get back to his body. Right? That was all he had to do?
His face fell as she described the horrible, nasty things that he would never do. Jefferson wasn't a saint but he never actually directly harmed anyone or did anything hurtful. Ever. If Regina was right about him in any way, it was that he didn't have it in him. He was no Charming, but he didn't have an evil heart either.
"For now?" Emma kicking his ass wouldn't have been a surprise. What would happen to it along the way was more confusing. Hopefully he would still have everything intact. "The station is...the police station? That's so far. Do you know how to get back?"
His wind died at the thought of having to make it that far. He'd have to try because there was no other option. Hopefully Emma had a stronger baring here.
