[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 you should try reading those romance books that one girl wrote?

[ she places a hand over her heart, smiling to herself with her eyes closes ] This one has felt love...

[ her smile soon fades though as she opens her eyes ] But this one has known others who were not saved by love. Their love did not save anything, but only made them lonely and long for the other when they were lost to a sickness...

That's not love, deary. That's childish whimsy and infatuation, scandalous though it may be. You of all people should know that, shouldn't you?

Have you? And were you loved in return?

[His smile just grows.] Oh there is that too. Love is a double-edged sword, isn't it? It heals and it wounds.

Of course I know. People can get over infatuation. Love, well...you know what I think about that.

Yes, this one loved the wolves and the wolves loved this one back.

That is true. It is something very fragile.

I do indeed, yes. And I believe you're one of the few I believe may have found one that is true.

[And it's a pity that he lost it.]

The wolves? [Here he giggles, thrilled.] Well well, I know someone you'd get along with quite well!

I was just lucky. [And he was, as hard as it was now.]

I'm sure I'm not the only one here, though.

Yes, I would imagine you were, deary.

Perhaps not. But the only I've spoken to so far. It remains to be seen who else. [Bit of a grin.] I'm curious if love is as powerful in other worlds as it is in mine, whether the source of magic or not.

Who is this person you speak of?

I'm kind of curious to see who else here has too. I think it is as powerful in most places, even if it's not magic. It can be what gives people the determination to do what they normally wouldn't.

Yes, I believe that's likely true. It's a powerful thing.

[A giggle.] Dangerous at times. The things we do for love aren't always... [Little wiggle of his fingers.] perfectly rational.

Just an acquaintance for back home. He isn't here. But he was far more fond of wolves than people, so far as anyone could tell. A huntsman, so to speak.

Nowadays he's a lackey for the queen, sadly.

He seems...very nice. This one enjoys the company of humans as well though.

Who cares about being rational? [He smirks, hand in a fist.] But...it can be dangerous, so I guess a little rationality is good. Too many times people don't look for another way because of the word love. Other times, they get too caught up in it, so either way it is dangerous.

[At the mention of being in love, Winry couldn't help but blush slightly. Yep, she was herself, but that wasn't exactly something she had been open with with anyway, so time to say something, anything.]

I can't say I've had any experience of love that wasn't with family.

I don't believe I have myself~ But, I'm curious as to why you would ask such a question.

[Lizzie smiles happily.]

I don't exactly know what you mean by experience, but I do know I am in love and still am.

[Even if Ciel is distant.]

I believe in the whole fairy tale of love conquering all.

[Not just because she's the Solider of love. Nope. Not at all.]

Ah, the subject of love. Such a wonderful thing to behold and gaze on in wonder. It's something the youth of today take for granted and spread it around so easily.

Who indeed, deary!

[Here though he nods.] It's true, of course. Love is a perilous thing at times. And indiscriminate in its destruction. A fact I have come to know all too well myself.

Oh yes, charming, I'm sure. If a bit... feral. [Another smile. All teeth.]

[He nods at that.] Well. Familial love is strong too, deary. It can be just as true as the more romantic kind.

But you're young yet. I'm sure someone will catch your eye. And you his.

You're fairly fond of questioning my motives, aren't you?

[A manic little laugh and a wave of his hand.] As I said. I'm curious.
