[Rumpelstiltskin is smiling. This in and of itself is probably not at all surprising. In fact, it's genuinely par for the course.

The video shows that he's not in his shop for once, instead out and about and in motion. And even more surprising, perhaps, is what he decides to ask about.]

Where I'm from, love is a very powerful magic. Well, the right kind of love is.

So tell me, dearies, what is your experience with love? Have you been in love? Does love conquer all where you're from? Has it ever saved someone you know?

I can't help my curiosity, after all. [Here he giggles, high pitched, the sound sudden and then ending just as abruptly.] So perhaps you wouldn't mind indulging an old man's wondering.

Maybe I am~ But when you see what worlds are there, it's easier to find the answers first.

I'm afraid I don't follow, deary.

I guess its just me then. [Also he tends to not make sense when he doesn't want to.] But see it like this, worlds are different and so we need to know answers to questions we might have.

Yes. [A little wave of his hands.] Thus my asking those questions.

Understandable. But my answer is, it's not something I've experience in a relationship sense, more in a familial sense.

I see. Well, familial love can be strong and true as well.

It really can be. What about you though?

Me? [A slow smile.] Why, do I look the type for it?

[A little pause and he answers, remarkably serious.] I have loved and been loved, truly, twice. But I destroyed it, in my own cowardice. Twice. The first was family, my son. The second... she was a brief glimmer of light in the darkness.

[He sat there quietly, his head nodding ever so slightly. To have been loved by family must have been a nice feeling.]

I'm sure that even though you destroyed it, I'm sure that it will happen again.

Again? No. True love isn't a common thing. It's precious in its rarity.

[He smiles though.] In this place, at least, she is here.

[He smiled.]

It may not be common, but happiness is something one can gain again.

Happiness is tricky that way. So many are searching for their happily ever after. It's just not always a thing that exists.

Some just don't and seem happy enough, though I can admit, people who try and search for that happy ever after you wonder if they ever will. Sometimes they do and sometimes fate has a way of saying no.

Fate hmm? Yes, perhaps that. Fate can be cruel. [Much of love can be cruel. Yes.]

Fate is inevitable, or as someone I once knew called it hitsuzen.
