( honestly, that's not an easy question for her to answer. it involves admitting she's lost Henry, and she's not sure she wants to if she doesn't have to.
so... )
Don't beat around the bush, Ms. Lucas. Ask what you want to ask, and if I know something I'll tell you.
( that is, if you can believe she'll be honest about it... and that depends on if she wants to be honest or not, clearly... )
[ Ruby is prepared for the possibility that Regina won't be honest with her. Not that she will have any way of knowing unless she hears something wildly different from another, more trustworthy source. But Ruby has to believe that maybe Regina doesn't hate her enough to lie about something like this. ]
( if that's the last Ruby remembers, it's certainly behind what Regina does. so her paranoia was apparently well founded. )
I wasn't exactly involved in that ridiculousness, seeing as the town more or less had me confined to my house. I do recall reading in the paper George getting arrested for that crime, however.
[ It matches her suspicions, the ones that Graham helped to raise about the state of the body. A feeling of deep relief washes over her and she may even be tearing up a bit so it's a few minutes before she responds. ]

Thank you Regina.

( even if she's the only one from Storybrooke that might know, she and Ruby aren't exactly close. )
You're really from that far back? Interesting.

Is that so? You're the farthest I've spoken to.

She's spared the gold-toothed geezer, then. I'd call it a win.

I never said it was a bad thing. Anyway. Thanks again.

Don't get used to it.
( because she just can't manage to be almost nice for very long. )
