themaniwanttobeMadness. This was utter madness, he was sure of it. But madness or no, he was here.
Here in the worst place possible, somewhere he never thought he'd end up, but doing something he had to try, for the sake of everyone.
He had to try and talk to Regina. There was so much at stake, with the constant fighting, that he had to take the risk. Deep down, he doubted that he would be able to do much to get through to her, but if he didn't try, he end up regretting it for the rest of... well, however long they lived.
Flying up to her castle, he pushed down the stab of fear he felt. Regina was not to be trifled with, and he knew she wouldn't like his words. But still he flew up to an open window. The advantage of being a cricket meant that he could sneak past her guards. The feel of magic all around him made his teeth itch - or it would if he had any.
He'd struck lucky. Regina was alone in the third room he checked, and he hovered uncertainly for a moment, trying to work out the best way to approach her without getting swatted.

She certainly had no plans on changing him back, and even if she tried, it wouldn't be with the good magic that saved him, but dark magic that would do so much worse.
