Since Regina hadn't known where Bella had been at before all of this, and Bella had made it clear that she didn't want Regina to send any more letters, it had seemed like the easiest for the both of them to come when Bella was in the very village that Regina lived at. Without Regina interfering in a government expedition, anyway. Causing Bella more stress hadn't been her intention. If Bella was truly to die, a thought that rattled Regina immensely, than she really hadn't wanted Bella to die with them in a fight.

Truly, she would have likely left the topic of their bad feelings toward each other alone after her first sentence if Bella hadn't pressed salt further into the wound of a subject. But that was both of their faults. "Well, I had just said that making peace wasn't my main goal in the first place. We can discuss that later... if you actually let me speak to you." She mumbled. Perhaps they can leave it at that for now.

With a sigh of her own, so much sighing in this conversation, she decided to take Bella's lead on starting a new topic. "Well, Killian has hidden away in his study. I would be relieved, but he is one for planning, so I have my worries. I went to Hogsmeade for a short while, and got carried onto a roof top by bugs! That was quite terrifying. I guess us Gryffindors are prone to getting into danger." She began thoughtfully. Perhaps she should have started with that in their conversation. Bella probably would have been much more comfortable talking about Regina almost dying.
