So, Robin and Roland spent 28 years (or more) without Marian. And they were not "frozen" other than they didn't age. Yes, they were all frozen, it doesn't make sense any other way. Why would it take Phillip and Mulan 28 years to get to Aurora otherwise? What were Cora and Hook doing for 28 years otherwise? Nothing, nobody was doing anything, because they were all physically and metally frozen. When Emma had the clock move is SB, that's when time started moving again in the EF.
