( it's not easy for feelings to register particularly deeply, that's a natural part of being heartless. still, when he comes back to himself, and remembers (however fuzzily) what the former version of himself had gotten up to, even Graham manages to feel a bit badly. it's odd, really, to have such visceral proof of how much he's changed. being cursed is hardly something he will ever be grateful for, but perhaps there was something good to be said about the time he spent as a part of Storybrooke.
he managed to run into all too many people during his time back in the form of the Huntsman. the one that he's most bothered by, though, is undoubtedly the conversation he'd had with Emma. she'd never known him as the angry creature that refused to see the good in humanity until it was too late. all things considered, she might have been better off that way. she hadn't deserved the reaction she'd gotten. Emma had left him to his angry indignation with more protection then he'd deserved, but that didn't manage to make him feel any better about how the argument had gone down.
so when he has the moment, Graham takes the head to her rooms to... well, he's not even sure what. apologize? possibly. or at least explain. Emma has some idea of how the story went, yet she had no idea what sort of person the Huntsman was. now that she does he has to wonder if she'd rather that story remain untold. he knocks on her door and waits for an answer, not quite able to feel impatient or nervous, though he might have given the possibility. that was one key difference between his current self and his past one; the Huntsman had no problem in feeling, and feeling far too much. )

after the memory foolishness but before the rescue mission
