Video of A Memory

It's a rather peaceful scene that appears in the locket. Woods filled with the sounds of nature and mushrooms that might make you grow or perhaps shrink. In the middle of these woods sits Will, waiting and clearly worrying over something that is beyond his control. This is a Will who still has his heart and still feels as deeply as anyone can who has found true love. A rustle of leaves and his excitement shows, only for his smile to fall as he sees who appears: The Queen of Hearts.

"Will Scarlet I presume?"

Their interaction doesn't last long, but her words have rebroken a heart that had nearly mended at the idea of being reunited with his love. Whatever hope he had was taken from him and the pain that he feels is simply too much. The idea comes to him in a flash. The Queen of Hearts alone has the ability to fix what she broke and so he asks:

"I know what you do. I know what you do to people's hearts; I want you to do that to me."

It's a request born of pain and desperation. Now heartless, Will is off to become the man he is in this world.

[He won't admit how lonely it can be. Not himself and certainly not to some uppity elf-lady.]

I've done alright on me own. In fact the only trouble I seem to get in is when others start comin' around askin' for help.

[She wouldn't be so uppity if it weren't for certain reasons. And people.]

I did not say that you have not. And you did not disagree.

[knavishness]

I didn't agree now either.

[Are elves always this frustrating to talk to?]

Why don't we agree that I'll worry 'bout me and my heart and you just worry about whatever elves worry about?

[silvergift]

[Yes. They are. It's in the fine print.]

That seems a fine idea.
