ｃｈｅｃｋｉｎｇ ｉｎ? ( ｍａｉｎ )

( Hook looks a bit more repaired than he has been lately. he's been sleeping, and up until today, he's been eating appropriately too. he knows about the shortage of food and he'll get to it, but there's another thing missing that has more of his concern. )

Has anyone seen Neal? We've looked around, he's not in his room and it's empty.

( it leaves a terrible feeling in his gut, and a crawling guilt that he doesn't want to think about too much. he can't fall to pieces the way he did when Emma disappeared but this is different. the door isn't locked, it's open, and there's nothing left behind. )

Any information is vital. Please.

( a momentary pause, because he really does want to focus on that, but it's impossible not to comment on the food situation. )

I presume most of us have been keeping food from breakfast to try and supplement all the dinners they don't serve round here, but... it'd be my suggestion to go slow on it. One day without breakfast won't do much but we all know the general state of discomfort around here.

( he really doesn't want to do this, but... )

I know there are a few children round, if you need some food to keep you I've got some I can stand to share.
