The Doctor Is In
Less than twenty-four hours after being rescued from a mine, and Doctor Archie Hopper is back at the office nursing an earned hangover with ginger ale and aspirin while going over patient file for the day.
In Storybrooke, things have gone back to their normal routine as they always did. His first patient ins't for an hour, so he takes the opportunity to close his eyes and pointedly not think about what had happened the day before.

"Dr. Hopper."
Regina is still licking her wounds after the debacle outside the mine. Henry has been sorted and seems to be doing fine, so now her attentions can be focused on other pressing matters. She looks down her nose at him. "I hope you're feeling better recovered from your ordeal."

Archie looks up from his desk with a firm glare behind his glasses. "Good morning to you too, madam Mayor," he responds quietly.
"I'm just fine, I would hope that Henry is as well?"

The glare is something unexpected and new. Like the ticking clock tower, the tremors through town, and the aggravating noise of crickets outside her bedroom window. Each a disturbing revelation.
Her eye doesn't miss much. She sees the ready bottle of aspirin, the ginger ale. She crosses her arms over her chest. "Physically he'll be just fine, no thanks to what put him in that mine in the first place. He's actually the reason why I've come. It would seem his care is about to change, and as a concerned mother I feel I have the right to know how."

"As a concerned mother," he nearly manages to sound something other than condescending... nearly; "you should be pleased to know that his care will be continuing as originally planned. I will counsel Henry as scheduled with additional meetings as necessary, keep proper documentation of visits and release them to you in accordance with federal and state guidelines."
He stands up behind his desk, back straightened but arms crossed in front of his chest protectively. His voice remains calm, passive, but with a certain strong tone in it he hadn't had before standing up to her.
"Does that alleviate your concern?"
