What Ruby's telling her now sounds so much like what she and Bigby and the other Fables had to survive that for a moment, Snow's almost tempted to ask if it's possible this witch happened to go by another name. She doesn't, but this conversation is already giving her a lot to think about — most of it pertaining to the fact that they seem to have much more in common than she would have ever guessed at first glance.

"It's been... a long time," Snow admits. "Since we were all forced to leave. So long that I think a lot of us are starting to forget what the Homelands even were. And Fabletown is our home now, for better or worse. We've built something like a community there, the same way that all of us here have been fighting to build something."

She glances over in Ruby's direction again with a slow smile. "But some of us know what it feels like to have to fight to survive."
