Robin had hoped Roland would take it well. He trusted Regina, even though he was sure the boy wouldn't understand completely. Still, with no end to this in sight, he had to fight the worry and the what ifs that came along with whatever was happening.
He glanced up at the last of the falling snowflakes from his previous bout of loss of control, and he found himself reminded of a time not long ago, on the boardwalk outside. There was a woman, wasn't there? One that had shown Roland magic that allowed her to make snow -
His thoughts were interrupted by the door opening. Regina had returned, and her words were a relief to hear.
"Thank you," he said, earnestly. What she offered after, however, immediately concerned him. While she could certainly control it better than he, whatever was in him was powerful. It would surely be too much. "I could not ask that of you. it's too dangerous, and I would not have you hurt because of me. If you can help me learn to control this, I think I may know of someone to speak to."
Robin hesitated then, feeling as though he was unjustly suggesting she had something to do with this. It seemed so unlikely for many reasons. Still, he knew it was important to mention. "The snow reminded me - Roland and I came across a woman who could make it with magic the first day we were here. She hadn't made ice when she showed Roland to cheer him up, but - perhaps it was something she just did not show. I admit I have my doubts she's involved as I have not seen her since we met. Still I think I should find and speak to her."
A feat that didn't seem possible just yet, considering the state of the room was looking more and more like it was made of ice. The mere idea of leaving made him uneasy, but if he could even gain a fraction of understanding how it worked, he might not feel like such a danger to himself and others. It seemed like the magic fed off that fear in particular.
"Please, before we try anything else, try to teach me," he said, hoping she understood why he was so adamant about her not doing anything that might put her in jeopardy. "It is your words to me before that are keeping me together now. I think I can do this."
