"Well just how would you have me respond? By running into your arms, professing some undying love for you and sharing true love's kiss?"
Well, uh, yeah, surely part of him wanted to answer yes to this question Emma asked him. Had she forgotten who she was talking to? Hook had always been a ladies man, used to having the attention of any pretty lass he desired. He was overconfident, but he had every reason to be with how successful his attempts to woo beautiful women had been. This situation, with a feisty, closed-off female, was challenging for him to deal with. Maybe that was part of the reason why he liked it so much.
Killian placed his hand over his heart, pretending to wince at her statement. "Your words, they've crushed me. But, life goes on, aye? I shan't let you deter me from finding a way to at least earn your trust, if not your heart." Half smiling, Killian would add, "Oh, and I'll find a way to make you laugh yet, Swan. I'd settle for a smile, in fact. A genuine one. I've had years to practice my banter. I'll find something that works. It's only a matter of time." The pirate sounded almost excited about this, as if it were a joy for him to try and figure out the unique inner workings of Emma Swan's mind.
"Aye, but you've only heard stories about the Enchanted Forest. You haven't heard a story about the land I spoke of until just now," Killian remarked, the smile eventually fading from his lips when she would make her last comment about his history. Killian turned away so that she couldn't see his face when he would respond. It was his attempt to hide the truth from that damn lie detecting super power she claimed to have. "I never mentioned whose history that was, love. He was just... a man from long ago." He stopped talking, grateful when Star would chime in to ask what they were talking about. Maybe the subject would be changed. Somehow. "Nothing. It was nothing important," he said, evasive.

Overdramatic bastard. Not that his little false hurt was annoying. It was just silly, not harmful in any way. Except, perhaps, in his insistence that he would win her over. She didn't want these attempts, when he already sparked odd emotions in her. Didn't need him encouraging the emotions she tried so desperately to keep down. But she didn't let on, only offering a sarcastic smile in response to his words. "Happy?" she remarked, referring to his claim about a smile. Though, his excitement about it was odd to her, in an almost charming way. Maybe it wouldn't be too bad.
"Fair point," she replied to his statement about her not having heard stories about his land before. Though honestly, she could do without any stories for a while. A long, long while. But with the way Killian reacted, tensing and looking away at her history comment... Well, she didn't need to see his face to pick up on what it meant. "Your ship. I was talking about your ship," she explained, not caring to press him about his obvious lie. Not right now, anyways.
In any case, soon enough, they were portal hopping yet again. This time, it looked like they were on some sort of ship, dinky as it may have been. Still, she couldn't help but glance to Killian with a somewhat amused expression. "Feeling at home yet?" Regardless of how he might answer, she didn't have time to linger. It looked like people- Star included -were bursting towards the sound of snoring from nearby. "Oh, come on..." she muttered under her breath. "Kid, wait!" she called, jogging after Star. Hadn't she heard of letting sleeping pirates lie?
