deal 004 ❖ [video]

Good evening, dearies. [Rumpelstiltskin is all smiles, as per usual.] And I do hope everyone is well

[It's totally sincere, of course. Of course.]

I was hoping, perhaps, for just a bit of advice!

[He wiggles his fingers a bit, drumming them together before he speaks again.] These little shadow creatures -- the Heartless... does anyone know anything about capturing them? So far my magic mostly seems to send them scattering. To bits.

[To regroup wherever Heartless go to regroup.] But I'd love to take a closer look at one, examine this darkness to better understand it.

Well, any input would be delightful.

And that aside, if anyone has any business, the door to by shop is always open. Belle, dear. I may be heading out for a bit of exploring. If you are about, would you mind terribly minding the store?

[A bit of a pause and he adds, off-handedly.] Sebastian, do tell me how things are going with you, hmm?

Why exactly would you want a capture one?

Re: video;

[intogold]

As I said deary, to better understand them and where they come from. And, of course, how to guard those I hold dear against them. [Certainly not for personal gain and plots, nonono.]

I guess I can understand the need to protect those close to you.

[intogold]

It is quite important. Don't you think?

[She nods slightly.]

It's the most important thing...y yet, if you know they can handle themselves, then it's okay to not be so protective.

[intogold]

Handle themselves, hmm? Well that does depend on what the threat is. Everyone's skills are somewhat different.

[A burst of laughter and he shrugs just slightly.] There's really only one in this place that I am concerned with protecting. I won't let her come to harm.

[She smiled, that's so sweet.]

That's nice. Having someone you want to protect. You must really care about them to want to.

[He inclines his head just a bit. Nice isn't something he or anything he does gets called very often.] Indeed I do, deary. I love her, in point of fact. [Though that's complicated.] Which is why I won't sit back and not actively try to sort this place out.

That and, well, I have things I need to get back to, in the world where I am from.

[watchesthesea]

Well then... [She smiled politely.] I should try my best to help you get your world back and you can protect your special someone.

[intogold]

How very kind of you, deary. [He smiles too, less politely, that vaguely sinister tinge to his expressions always there.]

[watchesthesea]

Well, good luck and don't get into too much trouble with them.

[intogold]

I'll certainly do my best.
