[ He doesn't venture down until about halfway through the night. He could have stayed in the inn, sure, and Molly would have let him. For old time's sake.
But he doesn't need the old times, as nice as they can be to remember at times. He's got a new life, a fresh start. He just has to make sure he doesn't screw it up and lose it all all over again.

So when Emma wakes, she's going to find him some distance away, leaning against a tree and dozing. ]
