( easier to expect the worst sounds sort of like advice from very long ago, not feeling anything is an attractive option when what you feel sucks. she'd said it to him when he was so desperate to feel something he'd have taken anything. it shows that she's grown and changed, she's not quite the same woman that had let him disinfect the cut on her eyebrow and let him kiss her despite the risk of letting someone closer. it's bittersweet; he's glad that she's found the perspective that she realizes the way she'd been thinking had been detrimental. he just wishes he could have been there to help her find her way. )
It seems like you found a way around it.
( and he doesn't just mean the curse, though, that too. he's glad knowing that Regina's demented stranglehold on innocent people is over. while he can't quite imagine seeing himself back in Storybrooke, even if Emma might like him to, he rests a little easier knowing that the curse has been broken and the town left in good hands. he means that she's grown a little, changed a little. he suspects it's influence of the family she never got to meet until adulthood, yet is it so wrong to be quietly happy they're all together again, anyway?
or, were. if Emma weren't here, instead of where she belonged. )
Bear in mind he nearly killed someone before he had a change of heart. He wasn't an easy person to befriend if you didn't walk on four legs. ( he manages a smile, though, in return. it's uncertain and uneasy but they can handle a conversation about something that isn't ideal, can't they? they've handled far worse before. ) Why's that? If you were raised by wolves too, that's rather eerie, don't you think?
( because when in doubt, make dumb jokes. that always works. or it never works, but Graham tries anyway. )
