[Emma should be happy that someone in this place is willing to tell her what she wants to hear, but it's too soon for the assurance to feel anything more than hollow. She can appreciate whatever logic led Killian to tear the place apart for answers, but in trying to maintain her sanity, she'd agreed with Neal's suggestion of settling in for the night. That means unpacking, taking another useless walk around, and maybe looking over the crap they'd put in with her clothes. They just got here and she's already restless, and theres nothing that anyone can do about it. It's like she said, this is what they have to work with.
They should probably be moving on to talk of some kind of plan, but she's out of ideas. There's no suggestion she can think of that doesn't involve waiting around to see what happens here. They need to know their enemy before they can fight it. If they're going to find a way out, then they need to know where they are and what pulled them in. Their magic is either gone or blocked, and they're going to have to find out which one it is. Right now, playing it smart means collecting the pieces and seeing how everything fits together.
It also means there's time to let themselves be distracted, so -]
... You still haven't said what you have on him.
[Is she supposed to believe that Gold gave him his hand back for free? Because he could taunt him with the suggestion of a cursed hand that's probably the same as the other one? The Dark One doesn't offer up freebies. Whatever Killian did to get the hand must have taken more than a friendly conversation and an offer to bury the hatchet. If he's a threat to them, even from a distance, they need to know it.]
I know that we'll get out, and I know that we can't do it tonight.
[She's resigned to that now, looking more tired than she has a right to be and pushing a hand through her hair. Hopefully they'll get home sooner rather than later, but right now, there are no guarantees.]
Which means there's plenty of time for you to tell me what you used to get him to put your hand back in the first place.
[That thing about him being a changed man was bullshit. It'd be one thing if they were the only ones who are going to have to deal with whatever Gold is up to, but they're not. They have a chance to bring Neal home, and he deserves to know what he's going to be walking into.]
