"This has to be the most inhuman torment in the history of the Heights."

Regina might have taken the steps back up to the apartment two at a time at her niece's whined complaints not hearing the humor behind the words in her rush to get back into the overhead apartment with a hissed "be right back." To the delivery woman just coming in the door on her way up the steps.

"True but as your girlfriend, I think it's within my rights for a little torment." Tilly pointed out with a teasing laugh at Margot's low groan of "I can't believe I let you borrow my favorite shirt only for you to torture me like this Tils"

"It's my favorite too it's the one you were wearing on our first date." Tilly commented making Regina turn on her heels and head back down the steps to finish paying for the take out now she knew the couple was alright.

"Roni tell her to be nicer to me. I'm already having a bad day." Margot said her pleading pout clear in her voice while finally spotting that her aunt returning to the apartment while Regina unloaded the take out on the kitchen island tabletop trying to get her heart rate back to normal as she did so from her worry over Robin's safety. "Hey, I'm being the picture of the perfect girlfriend here. I mean I could be at home still asleep not here cuddled up with you." Tilly defended without lifting her eyes from the sketchbook she had propped against Margot's knees.

Despite still being upset with her Regina itched to get her phone just to send her sister proof that Robin did in fact consent to be the little spoon despite her current cursed state. How Alice managed to keep such a steady hand in her drawing abilities with all of Robin's not so stealthy kisses along the side of her throat was a wonder to the former villainess

"I never said you weren't perfect crazy girl. You're the most wondrous woman I know, and I love you even more for it." Margot corrected talking so low that Regina had to strain to hear her and will reluctantly admit that even she blushed at the scratchy timber of her niece's voice. The only tell that Tilly was affected was the shuddering tremble in her hands early sending the point of the pencil into the page she was working on while she hides her face against the dip in Margot's shoulder to get herself under control. "….aunt right there." Regain heard her murmur bringing a much-appreciated giggle from her once tearful niece. "mm-hmm." Margot agreed tucking a stray strand of Tilly's hair back behind her ear.

"I didn't think we had Aristocats." Regina asked as if she hadn't heard the growled comment glancing over at the low volume tv screen while she settled in on the leather-backed chair across from the couple. "So, what was the emergency anyways?"

"It was either that or Oliver & Company." Tilly shrugged while her girlfriend rolled her eyes tracing her fingers skim along the arm Tilly had slung in a loose hold around Margot's waist hugging her back against Tilly's front "We're watching that one next. And the emergency is she's making me color and forcing me to enjoy cuddling." Margot answered the playful annoyance in her voice making Regina wish she'd gotten the confession on tape "This is torture." Her niece sighed lounging back against her girlfriend's embrace like a cat in the sun. A fact that Tilly didn't seem the least bit upset by.

"It's not my fault you're such a fast writer that you got your part finished already." Tilly snapped yet nether Margot or Regina could hear any real venom behind her words. "Besides you can't rush art." She grumbled adding more shading in on the picture she was sketching out. "I'm not rushing it just distracting a little." Margot corrected humming along to one of the songs playing out on the tv no one was really watching anymore as she set the notebook she'd been holding down on the coffee table.

Intrigued Regina leaned over the arm of her chair trying to catch a glimpse of one of the pages Margot was set to color once Tilly had properly finished with it. "Oh yeah, what do you think?" Margot asked nudging the notebook closer with her sock covered foot.

"CuriousArcher?"

"It's what we're calling it until we can decide on a title." Margot nodded untangling herself from Tilly's hold to head into the kitchen the second time her stomach growl wanting food.

Regina had to bite down on the inside of her cheek to keep herself in check as her eyes skimmed over the page telling a story she'd already heard parts of first hand from her retreating niece herself. "Hang on what about calling the tavern something else….."

"See that's what I said." Tilly jumped in finally setting aside the sketch she'd been working on taking the take-out box Margot was holding out to her.

"Seriously what's wrong with Emerald Acres?" Margot asked looking between the two defeated as she reclaimed her seat beside her girlfriend, "That's a perfectly good name for a bar."

Regina let the now playful back and forth of Tilly and Margot's argument over the name fade into background as she gets a look at the currently colorless pencil drawing now resting where the notebook still resting against Regina's lap had been beside the unopened box of colored pencils. Again, the former Evil Queen had to bite against her cheek to keep from reacting too much to the drawing while Tilly got up to put on another movie for them to watch. "The detailing is amazing." She praised bringing a blushing 'Thanks." From the artist.

Robin had told her and Zelena about this of how she had snuck up on the blonde while Alice had been too distracted with looking in on her father to notice the archer behind her until the snap of a twig alerted her making her spin around to face the arrow being pointed right between her eyes. Yet in this particular recreation of the couple's first meeting it was Alice dressed down in her niece's hunting gear sporting the bow with an arrow pointing toward the back of the second woman's head while Robin was the one in the skirt and peasant style blouse holding the spyglass in her hands while staring off the edge of the page.

"It'll be better once its got color." Tilly whispered bringing Regina out of her own mind and making her eyes refocused on the page she held in her lap. "What happened to watching Oliver & Company?" Regina asked by way of changing the subject after a felting glance toward the tv as she slid the drawing and the notebook back onto the coffee table. "It's Targo's choice next." Tilly answers after stealing a drink from Margot's soda earning a mildly annoyed eye roll from the woman in question as she reclaimed her seat on the two-person sofa. "I wanted something else sue me." Margot shrugged hitting the play button on the DVD player.

"Wouldn't it be cool if there were actually eight dwarves not seven?" Tilly proposed as the opening titles scrolled across the screen. "There was. I think his name was Stealthy." Regina hears herself saying after swallowing a particularly large bite of her meal. Thankfully for her anyway neither Margot nor Tilly seemed to have heard her slip and she covers her spluttering by accepting the water bottle her niece was offering her.

"I think there was actually." Margot commented tugging a blanket around Tilly's shoulders while she proper herself up against the arm of the couch using it as a pillow while they settled in to fall asleep watching the movie at some point. "Really? You think so?" Tilly asked both hopeful and skeptical all at the same time. "Yeah, I think they call him Tiny."

The former Evil Queen only smiled at the whispered conversation repositioning herself in her chair so she was sitting across it rather then in it resting her back against the high sides splitting her focus between eavesdropping on Margot and Tilly's whispered conversation on if that was really how Snow and her prince met, watching the cartooned version of a rather touchy point in her own past and finishing up the last of her dinner. She really should text Zelena but at the moment Regina can only think about how much Margot is like her father when she smiles while Tilly sings along to the song playing out on the screen and right now that's enough for her.
