“If by different you mean absent bloodshed and continuous attempts to harm one another, then, yes.” Zelena tilts her head to the side sporting an amused expression. “This has been different. One might even say civil.” Friendly? Well, she supposes a conversation where Regina asks her opinion and +

Leave it to Regina to not let something slide. From the start of this private conference over her sister’s burgeoning love life, it was only a matter of time before the subject circled back around to Emma Swan. “Half the fun of corrupting the savior is not tipping my hand about the mayhem on +

“Since you prepared the food, I think it’s only fair for your guest to serve themselves.” Zelena does just that in an uncharacteristic effort to remove a single, small task from Emma’s to-do list. With her salad and pasta neatly arranged on either side of her plate, Zelena waits for the blonde to +

“Perhaps the librarian has a type,” Zelena posits, deliberating on her openness to darkness despite being of such a virtuous, effervescent sort. Then again, she probably assumes she can redeem them, save them from the darkness like a chivalrous savior. “Are you truly asking my advice?” A brow +

“Truthfully, I have few offers of a home cooked meal, so let’s enjoy this rare occasion.” That is not at all what she meant to say, revealing anything of herself, but perhaps the savior has earned a peek into the witch’s inner life. Just a tiny one.

years battling over their son must have left a mark. Zelena accepts the proffered hand, rising gracefully from the sofa. However, Emma’s introduction to their meal momentarily halts any potential quip or even a flirtatious wink to tease the blonde. It’s just…sad. Lonely, even. If there’s one +

At least someone was in her corner because as Zelena recalls, very few were team wicked during that battle with her sister. What Zelena doesn’t understand is why the savior would support her in any fashion. Except perhaps her fraught relationship with Regina. Despite their detente, a couple of +

She hums appreciatively at the mellow aperitif, enjoying a hint of cherries beneath the oaky flavor. "One never does know when pairing two volatile substances." A mischievous Zelena holds the savior's gaze over the rim of her glass before imbibing once more.

Not that Zelena is the sort to ever make anything easy. Besides, she remains squarely in the undecided camp. "I imagine we'll create our fair share of destruction." Zelena flashes a dazzling smile at her earnest host before lifting her glass to make contact, resulting in a satisfying clink. +

Emma will get no argument from her about the improvements made to the loft.

“Ruby 𝙖𝙣𝙙 Belle? Aren’t we greedy!” This answer is far better than Zelena anticipated. Is that sisterly pride she feels swelling in her chest? Why, yes, it is. “How very modern of you.” Teasing comes second nature to Zelena, and she makes no attempt to suppress the urge. “A wolf and a librarian, +

“To smiting our enemies.” Zelena salutes her sister with the glass before indulging in a sip. “If you’re really in the mood for sisterly bonding, it’s far better with a little sizzle.” Relishing the idea of double the trouble making with their combined magical powers, her blue eyes blaze with +
