Emma was pretty much over this crap. It was one thing after another, it was constant and never ending and she hated it. If it wasn't curses it was portals, if it wasn't portals it was evil towns that snatched you in your sleep. And that evil town was full of so much crap that Emma was just about ready to tell everyone to suck it, they could take care of their own problems.
With the group heading out into the woods and apparently getting utterly massacred for just about nothing, with no idea if they could find a way out, nevermind a way through the woods without dying, and Neal, and apparently now Rosalind Lutece was four years old and not sharing her toys -even if those toys were giant ass robots that Emma wasn't sure she even wanted to contemplate what Marrowood could do to them. Or with them.
When Stiles suggested a bottle, or two, Emma didn't even care that the kid was seventeen and this was not actually going to help anything. She'd take the numbness over this stress any day.
A bottle later, on the floor, legs stretched out in front of her, Emma was certain this was the best idea ever.
"m not going to work t'morrow." She probably wouldn't be fit to even get out of bed at this rate. "I dun'wanna." If Rosalind could play the child card so could Emma.
