After the guard leaves, Regina asks the Huntsman if he has a name, but he is silent so she stands up and walks towards him, "You're a tortured one, aren't you, Huntsman?

A place at my court. You will become my official Huntsman.", she offers. He tells her that he has no interest in being a pet and likens Regina's palace to a cage. She says she can offer him luxury but he points out that she has an army at her disposal and asks what she needs of him. "My prey is beloved by all the kingdom, I need someone who won't be blinded by that, someone without compassion, someone who will have no qualms carving a heart out and bringing it back for my collection.", she says sternly, placing a hand upon his chest which he shakes off. "That's me.", he confirms, "As I suspected... Now tell me, what will it take?", she asks, walking past him. "What do you want?", she asks, turning to him, "There must be something,", the queen says. The Huntsman requests that there will be no more hunting of wolves, that they are to be left alone, that they are to be protected. "...simple enough.", she tells him, closing the deal, "So, who do you want me to kill?", the Huntsman asks. ("The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter")
