Say he is real, Hook. Do you want to be the one who refuses to help him?

[She'd rather try to help a figment of her imagination than fail to help a real child who needs her. If she's going to make mistakes, they should be the kind where she's helping people, not turning her back on them.]

Then I'd say you should start heading east, maybe we can meet from there.

[He won't like it, but - ]

Baelfire not wanting to tell you where he is seems very much like him, doesn't it? I'll see if I can track him down. If my path changes, I'll let you know over this device.

[villainously]

( no, he doesn't. which is why he tried to reach out to the boy, even if he couldn't be sure he was real. it didn't matter, because Baelfire did not reach back. figment of his imagination or not, he can't head toward something if he doesn't know where to go.

Hook looks a little sour because she's right, and he doesn't want to admit it. )

Don't you think if someone were trying to play tricks on our heads, they'd do their utmost to make it realistic?

( though there aren't many that know his relationship with Baelfire, it'd be a hard trick to play, but that's not the point. )

I'll go east in the morning. ( he isn't sure he entirely believes in Tink, either... but on the off chance she's real, if Bae is real, then yes, he will look for them. )

[trybelieving]

Not necessarily, it might show us what we want to see.

[Yes, Baelfire being young would be a part of that. There's a way loathe how he grew up and to still be proud of the man he became. Tink would know, she's felt that since he joined them in Neverland.

But there was never any giving him back what he lost. Hook is right to be suspicious - though Tink feels she's right to believe, too.]

Let me know if anything changes. And make sure you stay out of trouble.

[They both know how difficult that is for him.]

[villainously]

( if it's a trick of his own making, then he wouldn't be surprised that the picture he got was anything but self serving. his head rarely concocted kind pictures of his past, kept them all frozen at the worst possible moment as if to remind him of all his failures. in that sense, it is easy to think the boy is just a painful figment to remind him of his guilt; especially after just hearing of Baelfire's death.

Hook doesn't know what to make of Tink's claims of the future. Baelfire not being dead, Pan, the crocodile, the shadow, all gone. it's a lot to wrap his head around and he's tried to stomach plenty today, so he's letting it go for now. no doubt the silence of this place will let him dwell on it more.

at her reprimand he manages a weary smirk. gets harder to play the careless pirate when he's so exhausted but he halfheartedly falls into it anyway. ) Darling, I'm looking for you. Suffice to say that trouble will find me either way.

( he can tell its a closing of sorts, and he should probably sleep, so he will let her. he can't entirely decide if she's real, but if she is... ) I know you're better equipped for this than most, but mind yourself anyway. ( they don't know this place like neverland, it's like starting over at square one. is it so wrong to want her to be careful? )
