Things seemed so unsolved, but she let the feeling pass. Moving forward seemed better. Perhaps that would be their outcome, simply moving forward. Or this would all blow up in her face when Bella felt better and decided to ignore all of the good in their friendship once more.

She assumed that Bella was referring to the incident with the bugs, rather than the one where she might find herself in even more trouble than before with her so called guardian. Letting it go, it seemed that even Bella was now one to not speak to over this subject, remembering the brunette's threat from such topic.... Regina moved past that. "It was, though one that I would prefer not to partake in again." She responded softly. Despite her effort, she couldn't bring herself to smile even a little at this portion of their conversation. All of the thoughts raced through her mind.

Thinking on Bella's comment, she was surprised that Bella had even mentioned where she was living at all. Was this a step forward? Or simply the fever talking. "I hope you enjoy the work, at least. Do you think you will ever take up healing again?" She commented, her voice deciding to stay small. It felt like walking on glass, and she didn't want whatever kindness that was left between her and Bella to break.
