"Well, I haven't disappointed you yet, have I?" Killian teased with a smirk, pausing before he would add, "Never mind, don't answer that. With your wit, I'm certain you'd find something to say." Sure, he probably had made a few mistakes around Emma that she would frown upon. Like when he had flirted with some of the other women in their group, perhaps. He was only human after all. But now that he knew Emma wasn't unable to at least care for him a little bit, he doubted any other woman would be interesting at all anymore.
"Yes, listen to your Mum," Killian joked when Emma would agree with him that Star had done something dangerous. "And did you see the teeth on that creature? If I was capable of fear, I probably would be afraid." The pirate puffed out his chest, trying to look tough. "...but I'm not afraid of anything."
Anyhow, when Killian would see Star charge into battle, he clenched his jaw, worried just as Marco was. "Careful, lass, it could be a trap." The pirate then drew his weapon now that he had it back, sparing Emma a glance afterwards. "This is it, love. Once this brawl is over, I have no doubt you'll be getting home to your boy," he said, offering her encouragement.
It was strange though... for him to offer her encouragement... when his own words seemed to drain that from him. Why? Well, after this was over Emma would go back to her life. She had her boy. Her parents. A life. She would go back to them and would have no reason to interact with him anymore. The very thought made his heart heavy with an emotion he didn't really understand. It felt like sadness, yet different. Heartache? It wasn't something he had really ever experienced before. Nevertheless, it was very unpleasant and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Are you sure you want to ask that?" she inquired with a raised eyebrow, grinning as he took his inquiry back, stating she could think of something to combat him. "Didn't think so." While she may have tried to pass it off that he had disappointed her, there was little- if anything -he had done as of recent that was disappointing. Save for frustrate her with his nonstop flirting with every woman he saw, and perhaps his inability to understand that she didn't want to delve into her feelings.
And now his family jokes.
She gave him a look at his statement that Star should 'listen to her mum', obviously somewhat annoyed by his implication. But rather than call him out for it, she decided to instead speak on something she happened to have the leverage on, at the moment. "Sure you aren't. That's why you didn't want to ride this thing, right?" she replied sarcastically. She saw right through him and his little tough act, so there was hardly a point to it. Not that she blamed him.
"No kidding," she added more dryly at Killian's statement that this could be a trap. "Is there anything else it could be? Thing is, we don't have a choice. We're ending this. No more running." Funny she would say that, really. Considering all of her life, running was all she had known. But here and now, that was going to change. For Henry. And speaking of her son? A small, grateful smile was given to Killian at his words, Emma lingering a few moments longer than intended. "Of course I will. I have to," she murmured, quietly.
