Now, mun. You know how important revenge is to me. It's all I've been bloody doing since that crocodile killed Milah.

So why would you send me off to some other land I've never heard of to pay off my debt to society? I've got a lot of debt, you may have noticed, and I can't afford to wait that long. I'm ready to kill him now.

I don't care who else might be there. If it's not him, I'm not interested.

[uncurse]

Right. Revenge-driven. This really bodes well. I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I should have thought out that plan a little further.

[unhand]

That plan where you chained me up with a giant?

Probably.

[uncurse]

It's not like I threw you to a pack of wolves.

[unhand]

Just a murderous giant. How did you get him to work for you?

[uncurse]

By not calling him murderous, for starters. He's not. I just ... asked him to keep an eye on you for a while, that's all.

[finedprint]

And who might that be, dearie?

[unhand]

Like I'd ever in a thousand lifetimes tell you.

[finedprint]

No matter, I've quite had my fill of empty answers as of late.

[unhand]

No worries there. Soon enough, you won't need to think about that or anything that isn't my hook carving your heart out.

[lostcount]

I'm sure you'll find a way to keep yourself entertained.

[unhand]

I always do. Somehow or other. [...he's gonna end up upping his debt before he lowers it.]

[lostcount]

Who knows? You might even be surprised by what you find there.

[unhand]

Not much out there that can surprise me, lass. [Though Emma sure managed it.]

[lostcount]

The world's a big place. I'm sure we can find something.

[enchantedsnow]

[Who trusts a dirty pirate with a hook for a hand? Obviously not Emma. She gets one thing from her mother.]

I don't trust anyone who's bold enough to work alongside Cora. As twisted as she is...that's pretty much asking for trouble.

[unhand]

Maybe. But that's never stopped me. [He's a pirate. Trouble's his middle name. Because he clearly doesn't have enough names.]

[enchantedsnow]

[She guessed that arguing with that statement wouldn't do her a bit of good.]

[She glared at him- eyes piercing.] No matter the circumstances, you will not harm my daughter. [His whole motivation to get back to Storybrooke was revenge. She was sure that revenge on Emma was something that would please him as well, and she simply wouldn't have it.]

[unhand]

[He smirks at her.] Harm's not really what I had in mind.

[woodenbadboy]

You never know. He could show up eventually.

[unhand]

That's hardly something to count on.

[woodenbadboy]

If you're not caring about paying off your debt, when he does show up here, you can kill him over and over again?

[and people wonder why August turned back into wood...]

[unhand]

That would be the plan. Though I'm hoping one time'll do the trick.

[childofthemoon]

Sounds like someone has a good old-fashioned obsession.

[unhand]

I prefer determined.

[childofthemoon]

Semantics. So. Who's your boyfriend, and what did he do to you?
