on looking for a game

Devil's in the details, dearie. Do us both a favor and take a moment to consider all parts of the equation before arriving at the solution. The gut instinct and brash charge into the unknown is hardly the correct idiom in this circumstance. And if such a manner of conduct appeals to you so strongly, perhaps try the Charming boy. Or our dear sheriff. It's certainly never held consequence for either of them.

[Hi, Mr.Gold. Have a kid who has mixed feelings about you.]

I don't think you can stop them if they really want to send you to a game.

Edited 2012-12-04 18:00 (UTC)

[ Hello, Henry. He certainly has no idea why. ]

Ah, there are ways around these sorts of things, Henry. It's simply a matter of persuasion. Haven't you ever been told that good manners get you far?

[Couldn't be because you gave him a necklace to control his dreams for free and then go right around and try and get his grandmother and mother killed. Obviously not.]

...Not by killing them...right?

[Because it's not like you haven't tried that in the past with that kind of persuasion.]

Yeah, sort of. But, I don't use them to trick people.

[ look Henry, there's trying to kill and then there's trying to kill. And they survived, so it's all speculative. and moot. mootly speculative. ]

I hardly imagine permanent displacement of my dear...mun would be to my benefit. She is, after all, the one who controls the keyboard as regrettable as that reality may be.

[ a small smile ] Is that so?

[Yes but Henry is ten and a child. Stuff like that is not convincing to a kid who almost lost some of his family.]

[There's a pause. Okay...Maybe he used good manners to convince Regina to leave her office so he could steal keys. But it was all to save Emma and Snow.]

At least not to hurt them...

[ But Mr. Gold is so good at understanding children. 8| ]

Well, now Henry. As I've stated earlier, it's to my benefit to avoid permanently hurting my mun. Persuasion is a different matter.

How are you going to persuade them?

Leave the specifics to me.

At the moment, she seems drawn to the town where reading has been outlawed. I do wonder if she's taken into account that most of my deals are rooted in the fine print. [ hint, hint mundane ]

....Is it a place called Haven?

Edited 2012-12-04 19:42 (UTC)

From what I understand, yes.

Are you familiar with this place?

I'm there right now.

[ a slow grin ]

I imagine summer school will be necessary at some point in the future.

I guess maybe. But I don't think there will be any time.

[After all...things in Haven didn't seem to be good so far.]

[ despite himself, he's amused and his tone is friendly ] Up to thrilling heroics yet again, I wager?

She's going to try and find a home for you, then?

[.... Come on, mun, even Belle knows that's not exactly the best idea...]

Not so much a home as a...temporary change of scenery.

Are you going to cooperate, then?

[She already knows the answer to that, but it doesn't hurt to ask...]

If it's to a mutual benefit, of course. That is the very nature of the deal.

You know, I think you might like a change of place. See new things, meet new people. This sounds like a good thing for you, Gold.

And may I ask why the sudden interest in my well-being, Prince James?

No reason in particular. [His face says differently.] I just know how much you like new opportunities.

Preparing to benefit from the absence of a humble shopkeeper already Mr. Nolan?

[Snow isn't quite sure what Gold's best options are, nor is she particularly concerned with his well-being. It's obvious in her expression that she isn't happy with him... At the moment, she can't be sure who's side he's really on.]

It has come to my attention that Gold didn't exactly have our best interest in mind prior to our return.
[She tilts her head, looking up at Charming...]

I suppose that you may not know, because you were cursed at the time... but I've been informed that Rumplestiltskin had arranged for the journey through the portal to be unsurvivable [That last word is practically burning with disgust.]... just incase Cora might have been the one to come through rather than Emma and I.

[She squeezes Charming's arm lightly, leaning into his shoulder.]
We could have very well been killed...Henry would have been left alone here without us.

[Sure, Henry would have had Regina...but Snow knows from experience that a stepmother can never truly take the place of one's real mother.]

[ a tsk-tsk sound of disapproval ]

I'm surprised at you, Ms. Mary Margaret. Surely you out of anyone understand the consequences of Cora arriving in Storybrooke. With your husband exposed and your grandson on her most thorough radar.

[She scoffs...shaking her head..This facade doesn't begin to fool her.]

Of course I understand that there were risks involved, but don't even try to pretend that your sole concern wasn't your own well-being, Gold...Your own personal gain. [She assumes that Cora could ultimately thwart some greater plan of his, so he wants her out of the way.] I was under the impression that you were on our side for a while there. I'll admit, you had me fooled...

And here I thought you had faith in Emma all along?

[A returning look of disapproval. She's figured it out. He sides with whomever gets him his victories...A betrayal or two couldn't possibly hurt the Dark One's conscience. No matter the consequences that others may have to suffer, if it assures him his safety, he won't hesitate to follow through. What a cowardly way to go about things.]

Edited (Grammar Mistakes.. -_- WHY) 2012-12-05 00:26 (UTC)

I won't argue that I had a personal investment in Cora's lack of a grand entrance into our dear Storybrooke, but not just my own interests were at stake. [ There was Belle, and young Henry did earn a soft spot for Gold. And Charming, though irritating, had his uses. ] As I'm sure you're intelligent enough to discern, Ms. Blanchard.

Such faith, that I knew mere killing spells won't stop our tenacious sheriff.
