Diaval/Quotes

**Maleficent**: My name is Maleficent.

**Diaval**: That doesn't sound very nice, either.

**Maleficent**: Relax. I had a dream last night, or should I say, a vision? The reason I know that it wasn't just a normal dream is because I saw somebody in that dream. Somebody I'd never met before, but now I know they're real.

**Diaval**: Who?

**Maleficent**: *You*.

**Diaval**: But I don't know you. We've never met before, how could you have seen me in your sleep? How did you even find me?

**Maleficent**: Because I also saw this very clearing in the vision. I'm quite familiar with it. And now I know that, for some reason, I've been led to you.

**Diaval**: Why?

**Maleficent**: That's what I want to find out. What made last night even more peculiar is that it was the first good night's sleep I've had since... Since...

**Diaval**: Since what?

**Maleficent**: Since I lost someone very important to me.

(*Maleficent and Diaval conduct an experiment with Blood Magic*)

**Maleficent**: It worked!

**Diaval**: What does that mean?

**Maleficent**: It means the reason I sensed a connection between us - the reason I had an image of you - is because we're related.

**Diaval**: We are?

**Maleficent**: I think I know why we were brought together. I just lost my daughter recently. She was mercilessly taken from me. My baby... I think of her every day, and every night I'm plagued with nightmares about her being ripped away from me. Until last night -

**Diaval**: When you saw me instead.

**Maleficent**: I think it was a sign that I *do* have relatives out there. I'm an orphan.

**Diaval**: So am I. I never knew my parents. They abandoned me. My whole life, I've had nobody.

**Maleficent**: Then it was a sign that *we* have more family.

**Diaval**: So do you think we can find them?

**Maleficent**: I think we can. And we can solve the question that's haunted us as long as we can remember... Why were we abandoned?

(*in an effort to keep their bloodline wicked, Carabosse manipulates Diaval*)

**Diaval**: Why am I am being visited by so many witches lately?

**Carabosse**: Fear not, Diaval. I'm here to help you. I've seen what you've been doing with Maleficent.

**Diaval**: You have a way to help us? Do you know our family?

**Carabosse**: I know one thing, Diaval. I know how wicked it was for you to have been abandoned by your own father when you were just a baby.

**Diaval**: Who is he?

**Carabosse**: Oh, Diaval. You were dumped by your own flesh and blood to fend for yourself in this cruel, cruel realm. Why would you concern yourself with the man who *left* you? He deserted you for a reason. He doesn't want you in each other's lives.

**Diaval**: Well, maybe he regrets his decision?

**Carabosse**: Foolish, foolish boy! If he regrets leaving you, why hasn't he come back for you? It's time to grow up, Diaval. It's time to look at the future instead of the past. The same goes for Maleficent. She's just using you to cope with her immense grief over losing her daughter.

**Diaval**: I'm sure she's not -

**Carabosse**: You don't need your family to survive. If you want to follow your destiny, then forget about them. The truth is that you don't need anybody else in this world. You have to fend for yourself and trust no one.

**Diaval**: But I don't even know what my destiny is.

**Carabosse**: You have your special shapeshifting ability, don't you? You'd make a powerful wizard, Diaval. Just like how Maleficent is a powerful witch. I don't see her sharing her magic, do you? If you just take some magic for yourself, then you'll have a start at making a name for yourself and being someone important. *That's* your destiny.

**Maleficent**: Diaval? Where are you? *All* my ingredients are gone!

**Diaval**: I know. I took them.

**Maleficent**: *What*? Why?

**Diaval**: I was thinking. Why are we going through so much trouble just to get some attention from people who didn't even want us to begin with? Our family doesn't care about us. They never have, and they never will.

**Maleficent**: Even if they don't care about us, there's a delicious little thing called *revenge*. I have enough power to make them suffer for an eternity for what they did to us.

**Diaval**: That makes you just as bad as them! And if you really have so much magic, then I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I had some. Just to give myself a push in the right direction and start my life.

**Maleficent**: Nobody steals from me. And, as I'm sure you're now aware, I have no qualms hurting my own family. You think your life *sucks*? I can promise you, I will make it a *thousand* times worse. That's what you get for betraying my trust.

## During First Curse

### *To Be Queen* (Season 8, Episode 5)

**Lanval**: How did you -

**Diaval**: You're welcome!

**Lanval**: Right. Well, the last two people I met had ulterior motives, so, yeah, can't trust anyone. I have to get my life back.

**Diaval**: I saved your life! *From* said people! You must have had some bad experiences if you have trust issues.

**Lanval**: You're some sort of sorcerer. You can turn into a bird at will.

**Diaval**: But Maleficent took that ability from me. I am her servant. You *must* know what it's like to be cursed by a witch. You were a cat five minutes ago!

**Lanval**: Fine. You're right. I was manipulated by an evil sorceress and she trapped me in that feline form. I'm going back to Camelot, where *everyone* who hurt me is going to suffer.

**Diaval** : We're much alike. Both used and taken advantage of by evil. But I know vengeance won't do you any good. I'm leaving, too - I don't know where, but I'm going to start a new story.

**Lanval**: And I'm going to become a knight again! Show those in Camelot who their rulers *really* are. They tried to banish me once, but I *won't* let it happen again.

**Diaval**: All this to prove your loyalty to a kingdom who ruined you? No. Don't give into vengeance or you'll become *exactly* like those are hurt you.

**Lanval**: (*laughs*) What, you expect me to go with *you* instead?

**Diaval**: Why not? Remember, I saved you from a Wicked Witch. I'm Diaval!

**Lanval**: ...Lanval.

## After Second Curse

### *Never Forget* (Season 8, Episode 8)

**Lanval**: You're so stubborn!

**Diaval**: Me? I'm just trying to be optimistic -

**Lanval**: Then *stop*! I *hate* this town. We wake up, bam! Wicked Witch of the West. And now the Snow Queen is about to cast a spell that will turn everyone against each other. This town is a bloodbath. It's not safe here. When I met you, you said we were going to start a new story. Leave all of our pain in the past. I don't know about you, but I can't do that when every five minutes in this place there's a *witch* threatening everyone. I don't want to live through that again. *You* shouldn't either. We've seen what they can do. Diaval, not everything is all sunshine and rainbows in life. It's just stupid and childish to think that.

**Diaval**: Are you calling me stupid?

**Lanval**: You just... You need to change. You need to grow up and mature.

**Diaval**: So you just want to leave Storybrooke?

**Lanval**: Yes! Across that town line, there is a whole world without magic and witches. To me, that sounds like a damn good world to live in.

**Diaval**: Magic is all I've known. *I* have magic. I'm no one without it. I can't leave. I have to choose to believe in hope. I don't want to run away in fear.

**Lanval**: It's not running away, it's running towards a better future, the better future *you* wanted! I'm going. And if you want to stay here and keep telling yourself things will get better, then maybe you *are* stupid. I should have never have stuck with you in the first place.

## After Sixth Curse

### *Reversal* (Season 8, Episode 10)

**Roger Radcliffe**: Hey. You alright?

**Diaval**: Who are you?

**Roger Radcliffe**: Name's Roger. Sorry, I couldn't help but notice you all alone out here. The Enchanted Forest can be a dangerous place.

**Diaval**: Thank you for your concern, but I've been alone in the Enchanted Forest most of my life. I used to live in a town called Storybrooke, but... Guess I got homesick.

**Roger Radcliffe**: Storybrooke, you say? As a matter of fact, that's my destination. I'm on a journey right now. I've, uh, got a family member there I wish to see.

**Diaval**: You're lucky. I have no family.

**Roger Radcliffe**: It's a bit of a complicated situation. Long story. Hey, why don't you come with me? I can explain on the way.

**Diaval**: But there's nothing for me in Storybrooke.

**Roger Radcliffe**: They may be nothing there for me too, if my quest doesn't go as planned. Why don't we stick together?

### *Eternal Darkness* (Season 8, Episode 11)

**Cruella De Vil (Wish Realm)**: Oh, *please* tell me you're here to bail me out. I do hate being behind bars.

**Roger Radcliffe**: Cruella De Vil...

**Cruella De Vil (Wish Realm)**: One of multiple, apparently. There was another, but I hear she died. Guess that proves which of us is the superior one.

**Diaval**: Roger, who is this woman?

**Roger Radcliffe**: My mother.

**Cruella De Vil (Wish Realm)**: No. It can't be.

**Roger Radcliffe**: (*to Diaval*) Well, technically she's the Wish Realm variant. (*to Cruella*) But you have memories of me, too, don't you?

**Cruella De Vil (Wish Realm)**: Despite my sheltered upbringing, I *did* find someone who impregnated me when I was eighteen. I've never been maternal material, and my mother agreed. Possibly the only thing we ever agreed upon.

**Diaval**: She abandoned you?

**Roger Radcliffe**: She did, but this isn't our first meeting. We had an encounter when I was a boy.

**Diaval**: What happened?

**Cruella De Vil (Wish Realm)**: Oh, never mind that. But I'm actually glad you brought that up, Roger. I almost forgot about you.

**Roger Radcliffe**: Maybe this was a bad idea coming.

**Diaval**: I wouldn't engage in *any* conversation with her, if I were you.

**Cruella De Vil (Wish Realm)**: Why *did* you pay me a visit, son?

**Roger Radcliffe**: It doesn't matter. We're leaving.

**Diaval**: (*about Wish Cruella*) Why *did* we visit your mother?

**Roger Radcliffe**: You told me you were an orphan, too. Don't you know?

**Diaval**: You want answers. You want a family.

**Roger Radcliffe**: You know, after everything she put me through, I don't know why I ever thought I could try again with her. I mean, she *is* Cruella De Vil. She's a villain.

**Diaval**: You were just being optimistic.

**Roger Radcliffe**: I was being ingenuous. She robbed me of my identity. I don't need anything to do with her, but -

**Diaval**: You don't know what to do. You don't know who you are. That's how I've always felt, never knowing who my parents are or why I didn't grow up with them.

**Roger Radcliffe**: Do you still want to find them?

**Diaval**: I don't know. Seems like we don't know much, hey?

**Roger Radcliffe**: Do you have anybody worth fighting for?

**Diaval**: (*about Lanval*) I had a friend once. Possibly even a best friend. But, just like my parents, I was abandoned. He left me. I guess I wasn't good enough.

**Roger Radcliffe**: Anyone who makes you feel that way isn't a friend.

(*Lanval and Gideon spot Diaval and Roger*)

**Lanval**: Is that -?

**Diaval**: (*to Roger*) No. It's... It's him!

**Roger Radcliffe**: The friend who abandoned you?

**Lanval**: Diaval! You're in Storybrooke? I thought you left.

**Diaval**: What do you care?

**Lanval**: I've been searching for you for ages.

**Gideon**: He's right. We looked every day for a month.

**Diaval**: A month? It's been *years*.

**Lanval**: I know, I... I didn't know where to begin. That is, until the realms were united.

**Diaval**: You ditched me. After all that time we spent, being there for each other, being each other's *only* friend - You insulted me, you left, and I fell right back to where I started. It was as if I meant nothing to you. Roger's been a better friend to me in the day we've known each other.

**Lanval**: But you've only known him a day! You can't trust him.

**Roger Radcliffe**: Thank you.

**Diaval**: What, and I'm supposed to trust you, Lanval? How can I? You're almost as bad as the witches we met through.

### *Sleepy Hollow Skirmish* (Season 8, Episode 12)

**Diaval**: How did you find me?

**Lanval**: You're not exactly hiding.

**Diaval**: I don't want to see you.

**Lanval**: You didn't miss me at all?

**Diaval**: Of course I did! That's why it hurts so much. You'd think being an orphan would mean I'd be desensitised to such pain, but no. Your betrayal cut deep.

**Lanval**: Betrayal - come on. I mean, yes, I was a bastard. And I regret being that way. I want to start fresh.

**Diaval**: I don't think I can. I don't know!

**Lanval**: Look, this is hard for me to say, but... I'm sorry. I was wrong for what I did to you.

**Diaval**: ...It *is* telling to hear you say that.

**Lanval**: Let's talk, okay? Granny's Diner, 4pm.

(*at Granny's Diner*)

**Lanval**: I know you're an optimist. I know you have a bright heart.

**Diaval**: Am I?

**Lanval**: I spent all this time dwelling... reflecting on the past. I do rue that day when I left.

**Diaval**: Things are a bit more complex than optimism and pessimism. I see the best in other people, sure, but I see nothing in the future for myself.

**Lanval**: Nor do I. I'm a disgraced knight from Camelot. Growing up, that was always my dream, that was always what I imagined my destiny being.

**Diaval**: The realms are one now. You can finally go back.

**Lanval**: Regardless of where I decide to go, that's not the important thing. I don't want to be alone anymore. I'd wager you feel similarly.

**Diaval**: You think you still know me after all these years?

**Lanval**: Well, I'd like to. And this time, I'm not going to run away. I promise. Even if these words aren't enough, let me prove it to you. We both know I'm stubborn and I never go back on my word. We're *both* stubborn. You'll never let me see you again if I let you down another time. But I won't.

### *Man's Best Friend* (Season 8, Episode 13)

**Roger Radcliffe**: How's things with Lanval?

**Diaval**: (*sighs*) I don't forgive him. *Yet*, I guess. But I did agree to give him one last chance.

**Gideon**: With how hard he fought to reunite with you, I doubt he would let you down again.

**Roger Radcliffe**: Diaval is not entitled to let Lanval back in, even if he does keep his word.

**Diaval**: He outright said sorry to me. Like, the actual word. I don't think I've ever heard him say that before.

**Roger Radcliffe**: Well, that's a good sign.

**Diaval**: But I can't put all my attention toward him. And vice versa. I'm back in Storybrooke now, I can't live here for free. Unless I go back to the forest.

**Gideon**: There's spare rooms at the library where I work. Plus my father's castle is vacant and being repurposed into something of a shelter. Sounds weird, but, you have options. Both of you.

**Diaval**: Okay. Well, I can't live here for free *forever*.

**Roger Radcliffe**: Simple. We get jobs.

**Diaval**: Like what? I'm not qualified in anything.

**Roger Radcliffe**: Today I helped the Royal Association defeat a werewolf and a hundred and one brainwashed dalmatians. They're lovely people. I mean, the Royal Association. I know it sounds daunting, but I was thinking about asking if they need any more employees. I came to Storybrooke to face my estranged mother, but I changed my mind and now my purpose here is... Well, I don't really *have* a purpose here. Diaval, your shapeshifting magic is special. And Lanval was a knight, right? You're both perfect candidates!

### *Escape the Past* (Season 8, Episode 15)

**Alice Jones**: Ah, Roger! And you must be Diaval and Lanval. Regina mentioned you.

**Diaval**: She did?

**Alice Jones**: This is my fiancée, Robin.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Nice to meet you guys. So you want to join the United Realms Royal Association?

**Roger Radcliffe**: It'd be good for us. We all came to Storybrooke lost, unsure of what our futures hold.

**Lanval**: But I think we're more than capable of helping out around the Royal Castle. I mean, unless we're able to do some of the more fight-y stuff?

**Diaval**: Don't mind him. He's ego's through the roof today because he saved Gideon from a villain.

### *Ozma of Oz* (Season 8, Episode 16)

**Alice Jones**: Diaval, Lanval, I'd like you to meet Sherlock Holmes. Uh, I mean Detective Holmes.

**Diaval**: Pleasure to meet you.

**Sherlock Holmes**: Likewise.

**Lanval**: Why exactly are we meeting each other?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Sherlock is in the midst of a very important case. We're trying to help him locate the Wicked Witch of the East.

**Sherlock Holmes**: As her name implies, she's not exactly benevolent. She's a threat to the United Realms.

**Diaval**: Is there anything we can do to help?

**Sherlock Holmes**: As a matter of fact, yes. We know exactly how we can exploit her weakness to take her down.

**Lanval**: Then why would you need our help?

**Sherlock Holmes**: We need the man she loves, and unfortunately, we don't know his whereabouts. (*to Diaval*) *But* we *do* know that you have a special talent that means we can use him without actually *using* him.

**Diaval**: You want me to take his form and pose as him.

### *Into the Sunlight* (Season 8, Episode 17)

**Lanval**: I have to admit, Zelena impressed me today.

**Diaval**: Ooh, you have a crush?

**Lanval**: No, I mean she went out of her way to stop those two freaks. I still don't buy it, though. How can the Evil Queen and the Wicked Witch become the Good Queen and the Light Guardian?

**Diaval**: Maybe you should stop acting so high and mighty. People change.

**Lanval**: Only a monster could do what they're done. Maybe *you* should stop acting wet behind the ears.

**Diaval**: Oh, so you're a saint now? Are we forgetting how you're still on thin ice with me?

**Lanval**: No, but I'm hardly comparable to murderers. I saved you from Evanora, anyway.

**Diaval**: You *helped* save me. (*pause*) Thank you, though.

**Lanval**: Anytime.

### *Father Dearest* (Season 8, Episode 18)

**Diaval**: You want to go back to Camelot and prove that everyone was wrong about you?! These heroics are really getting to your head.

**Lanval**: It's not an ego thing.

**Diaval**: Really? What is it then?

**Lanval**: Well... I don't know. Think of it as revenge.

**Diaval**: Revenge? Lanval!

**Lanval**: Think about the people who have hurt you the most. Besides me. Your own parents abandoned you as an infant. Wouldn't you at least want consequences for them?

**Caradoc**: (*enters*) Yes, Diaval, what *do* you want for your parents?

**Diaval**: Who are you?

**Caradoc**: Don't you see any resemblance between us?

**Lanval**: Oh, hell no.

**Caradoc**: Hell *yes*. I'm Caradoc. You may have heard of me through my relation to my mother, Carabosse. But that's not the only interesting relation I'm here to reveal.

**Diaval**: No.

**Caradoc**: Yes, you're my son.

**Diaval**: This is too much. You're lying.

**Caradoc**: Unfortunately, I'm not.

**Lanval**: What do you mean unfortunately?

**Caradoc**: Unfortunately, because this pathetic, callow, sorry excuse for a son is nothing like his father, or his grandmother.

**Diaval**: What?

**Caradoc**: There is great darkness in our lineage, and that is what makes me so especially proud. It *disgusts* me when a washout like you is born to my family.

**Lanval**: Wait, so if what you're saying is true, you're disappointed that your son is nice? But how did you even know how he was going to turn out? He was a baby when he was orphaned!

**Caradoc**: As was I. Carabosse believes that one of the darkest acts you can commit is the malicious abandonment of an innocent little creature. But I didn't need her influence to become the man I am today, and we found our way back to each other. (*to Diaval*) I thought I could do the same with you, but your apparent lack of magic was the first red flag. You are unworthy. You are light. And if you are unable to be corrupted, then there is only one thing left to do. *Kill* you, and keep our bloodline dark.

### *Broken Bonds* (Season 9, Episode 1)

**Diaval**: Drizella. What are you doing sitting here all by yourself?

**Drizella Tremaine**: Thinking. I, uh, haven't been feeling the best lately.

**Diaval**: And why's that?

**Drizella Tremaine**: I've been working for Regina ever since we saved the kingdom from Carabosse's apocalypse, and I... I want to be free.

**Lanval**: Everyone wants to be free. We get it. *But*, Regina's only doing what's best for you. She's wise, Drizella. If she doesn't think you're ready to begin a new life...

**Drizella Tremaine**: What about what *I* think? Nobody knows me better than I know myself. I spent way too long trying to win my mother's approval, and I've spent way too long trying to do the same thing for Regina. She's just punishing me because she doesn't want to forgive me. I've been trying to make up for what I've done for what feels like a lifetime.

**Diaval**: Maybe you're looking to make up with the wrong person? I'm not saying to give up with Regina, but she's far from the only person you've ever hurt. Maybe start with someone else, and she'll see how hard you're trying.

**Regina Mills**: Thanks for coming to this last minute meeting, everyone. As I'm sure you know, there was a terrible monster roaming the streets of Storybrooke today.

**Alice Jones**: When isn't there?

**Regina Mills**: But, thanks to my sister here, the Light Guardian, we don't need to worry about the monster anymore!

**Zelena**: What can I say? The dagger did all the work.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Nooo, you were awesome, Mom! Where's the beast now?

**Zelena**: Well, when Regina and I came back here to the castle, the dagger showed us the location of another area in the basement.

**Lanval**: You just *found* a new room in your home?

**Zelena**: Well, it's not like we live in a cabin. It *is* a castle!

**Regina Mills**: And the new room isn't just any old room. The whole thing is lined with cells as far as the eye can see.

**Diaval**: A creature prison?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: I believe in this world, they call that a zoo.

**Roger Radcliffe**: You never found the room before?

**Zelena**: Never. It just appeared like magic.

**Roger Radcliffe**: Maybe Lanval's right. Maybe the reason you only just discovered it is because the dagger *created* the room.

**Lanval**: Wow. That's one powerful knife.

**Diaval**: Sorry to, uh, be the pessimistic one for once, but did anybody wonder how the nuckelavee got to Storybrooke in the first place?

**Regina Mills**: Unfortunately, we suspect it didn't just stumble into town.

**Zelena**: Someone's still out there, and they're dangerous.

### *Temptation* (Season 9, Episode 5)

**Diaval**: I think I imagined something bizarre. Or perhaps I dreamed it.

**Alice Jones**: Does it have anything to do with Lanval?

**Diaval**: How did you know?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: My mom told me what happened. She was there. You didn't imagine it.

**Diaval**: Lanval... Lanval said he loved me. I mean, yeah, we've known each other for a long time, but he's never said that before. I didn't think he would like me in that way.

**Alice Jones**: You know, that's exactly what was going through my head when I fell in love with this one. (*smiles at Robin*) I thought she was way out my league. That she'd never like a girl.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: But clearly, things aren't always as they seem. We're all conditioned to believe these stereotypes, to believe that you have to look or act a certain way to be gay.

**Alice Jones**: But you don't. You can never tell a person's sexuality just by looking at them. In fact, you can't tell at all unless they tell you.

**Diaval**: I think *I* have something to tell you. Sometimes I've never told anyone. I think... I think I have feelings for Lanval. I never thought he'd reciprocate them. You know, as cheesy as it sounds, I could have died yesterday. I nearly died and we wouldn't be here having this conversation. Life's too short to deny who I am any longer.

**Alice Jones**: Let's hope Lanval will learn to feel the same way.

**Diaval**: What do you mean?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: We're not sure he's ready to properly come out. I don't even think he really knows yet. I've been there, too.

### *House Hunters* (Season 9, Episode 6)

**Lucy Mills**: Diaval! I heard about what happened with Baba Yaga! Are you okay?

**Diaval**: I'm getting better. Though I'm afraid to go out and face any more villains, honestly. Plus, I don't really know what Lanval's feeling...

**Lucy Mills**: What do you mean?

**Diaval**: Well, when I was stabbed by the witch, Lanval admitted something. He said... He said he loved me. It came out of nowhere. I've known Lanval for some time, but I never expected him to feel that way. I haven't seen him since.

**Lucy Mills**: Huh. He's probably just scared of your reaction. Wait... How do *you* feel?

**Diaval**: About Lanval saying he loves me? A little perplexed, relieved, terrified, you know.

**Lucy Mills**: How come?

**Diaval**: Because I have feelings for him, too.

**Lucy Mills**: (*separately invites Diaval and Lanval to the Royal Castle*) Well, bon appétit lovebirds! (*exits*)

**Diaval and Lanval**: Lucy!

**Lanval**: Okay. Now that you're here, I should probably do that thing.

**Diaval**: What thing?

**Lanval**: The apology thing. My worst nightmare.

**Diaval**: You want to apologise for saying you love me?

**Lanval**: Don't repeat it.

**Diaval**: Why not?

**Lanval**: Can we just drop this? Why do you care so much?

**Diaval**: Because I'm glad you said it!

**Lanval**: (*pause*) You're what?

**Diaval**: Look. I've known you a long time, and I can't lie to you, Lanval. I think my feelings for you go beyond friendship. And apparently so do yours. We don't have to label anything right now. But I hate that you've been distant lately. I miss you.

**Lanval**: What are you suggesting we do?

**Diaval**: I think Lucy has the right idea. Why don't we talk about this over dinner sometime?

**Lanval**: Like a da-

**Diaval**: We don't have to label it!

**Lanval**: Fine, birdbrain. I'll go on a not-date with you.

### *Immortal Blood* (Season 9, Episode 7)

**Lanval**: Is Granny's Diner the only restaurant in the United Realms?

**Lucy Mills**: Pretty much! Enjoy, you two. (*exits*)

**Diaval**: Oh, come on. You have to admit, this eatery is quaint!

**Lanval**: So, uh, I believe we have a lot to talk about. You said you... You reciprocated my feelings. Is that true?

**Diaval**: Why would I lie?

**Lanval**: I'm not saying you would. I'm just surprised. I mean, this feeling just feels so... off. It was so frowned upon back in Camelot.

**Diaval**: Are we in Camelot? I don't think so. What I'm saying is, we're not in the same land where we grew up. Not anymore. Regina said it herself, this world - the United Realms - it's a place of opportunity, of hope. Of second chances. And unity. It's all in the name.

**Lanval**: Maybe you're right. Maybe I *should* give these feelings a chance.

**Lanval**: Stop right there!

**Diaval**: Don't do this, Drizella!

**Drizella Tremaine**: Excuse me. (*telekinetically pushes them back and approaches Lucy*)

**Lucy Mills**: (*wary*) Aunt Drizella?

**Drizella Tremaine**: Well, step-aunt, to be exact. (*grabs her*)

**Lucy Mills**: What are you doing?

**Drizella Tremaine**: I'm sorry about this Lucy, but I need your daddy's blood. It's very important. So now you get to be my leverage! Fun, right?

**Lucy Mills**: No! Drizella, please - (*Zelena teleports Lucy to safety*)

**Zelena**: Stay away from her.

**Drizella Tremaine**: Or what?

**Zelena**: I'm glad you asked. (*they engage in a magic duel*)

### *Reunited* (Season 9, Episode 11)

**Lanval**: With everything that's been going on, we've barely had a moment to ourselves.

**Diaval**: Wow. Seems like you really *are* embracing your true self.

**Lanval**: Well, I guess I'm trying. You didn't think I was?

**Diaval**: Well, you kinda just admitted you're only trying.

**Lanval**: "Only" trying?

**Diaval**: No, I mean, yes. I'm still proud of you, knowing how different it must have been as a knight in Camelot. You'll get there, I know it.

### *Face Your Fears* (Season 9, Episode 13)

(*Robin Hood, Jr. and Queen Anastasia leave to find Drizella, Tom Thumb and the Jabberwocky*)

**Alice Jones**: I just wish I could be helping Robin right now.

**Will Scarlet**: Well, why didn't you go with them?

**Alice Jones**: Because, realistically, there's nothing I *can* do to help.

**Diaval**: Why do you think that?

**Alice Jones**: Robin is the greatest archer in the realm. Anastasia has magic. What do *I* have?

**Will Scarlet**: Well, Ana didn't always have magic. When I first met her, she was as normal as they come. The Queen of Hearts taught her. Anyone can learn it.

**Alice Jones**: But I don't want to learn magic. It's in my blood, but... I don't want to associate myself with...

**Lanval**: Gothel?

**Will Scarlet**: Who?

**Diaval**: I'm not sure it's best we talk about it -

**Alice Jones**: No, it's fine. She was my mother. I mean, she wasn't really anything of the sort. But biologically, she was my mother. A cruel and heartless witch. Any magic I had, it came from her. And I don't want to use it for that reason.

**Lanval**: Magic isn't the only weapon, you know. As you said, Robin's an archer. And I'm quite the skilled swordsman, if I do say so myself.

**Will Scarlet**: (*to Alice*) He's right, you know. But just because your mum was a right bitch, don't mean that having magic is a bad thing. If you associate it with her legacy, don't. Use it to create your *own* legacy. Show the world that you're stronger than she could ever be.

**Diaval**: It's not about the magic, it's about what you use it for.
