[ From absolutely nowhere, there's a hand ripping him backward. He doesn't process the voice at first, the snarked out give the lady--, it happens too quickly to keep himself from whirling around to shove at whoever decided it was a good idea to get physical. ]
Get the helloff me- !
[ Flies from his lips, and then everything seems to freeze. Killian's hands drop from Neal's jacket, Baelfire's hands fall away Hook's shirt slowly, and surprise melts away at the anger on his face, lips parted, head still cocked to one side.
Oh.
Makes sense, he guesses. If Regina's here and Emma's here, it's not like Hook to be far behind. By rights, Hook deserves to be way more surprised by Neal's appearance than the other way around, but you wouldn't know if just by comparing facial expressions. Before he can say a word, Emma steps in to defuse an already diffused situation. His shoulders relax a little as he backs down, lips finally closing into a sort of sympathetic grimace. Yeah, he knows he's the last person anyone ever expected to see, but that's not exactly his fault. He's not gonna apologize for being alive, if this is life.
Instead, he just offers a nod. ]
Killian.
[ He greets mildly, neutrally. Gestures at the hook-less wrist. ]
Nice jacket. Come with the hand or that cost extra?
