Closing the distance between them until they stood at a more friendly space apart, the Huntsman lifted his hand to meet the other man for a shake. He hummed a thoughtful note, giving the hand in his grip a firm shake before dropping his hand to his side. "I'd heard you weren't actually Prince James, but beyond that all I know is that you were Snow's Prince. Honestly, that's all I needed to know."
"Graham," he said after a moment. "I remember - remembered just about a second before I got here, actually - but I'd rather you called me Graham." There was a halting set to his shoulders then, as he attempted to vocalize something of the difficulty of understanding himself both as Graham and the Huntsman when by all rights he should have pulled himself entirely back to being the Huntsman. Perhaps he would have if not for the eight years he had spent seeing that name turn to ash and blood in his mouth. Failing in his attempt to explain anything of the matter, he shook his head and instead turned to a different topic. "Ruby said she was from a few weeks after me, and you're a year or so. I take it that the Curse was broken somewhere between the two?"
