deal 006 ❖ [video]

[The video is on. But Rumpelstiltskin is unaware of this, largely because it was turned on as it was flung against a wall.

He's having a bit of a tantrum. These are, thankfully, quite rare, but also quite violent. There is broken glass strewn about, vials and bottles shattered and small pools of variously colored liquids.]

Useless! All of this entirely useless. How is it there's not one pair in true love in this entire mess of an existence?!

[It's about here his eyes fall on his communicator and he realizes he's being watched. He straightens up a bit, schools his face into a bit of a smile. Tense around the edges, pulled a bit too taut over his features.]

Well dearies, sorry you had to see that. Call it a bit of frustration and homesickness. I suppose perhaps while I have some of your attention, I should make the most of it. What is the happiest memory you have? What would you be willing to sacrifice to reclaim it?

[He clucks his tongue softly.] That wasn't even a subtle dodge, deary. Keen on asking the questions but not answering them, is it?

But as you like it. I won't pry.

Do with them? Hmm. Hopefully make a deal. A small little thing form either one and I ought to be able to bottle the power of true love once more.

[No, it really wasn't but it got the point across. His past was an uncomfortable subject...]

And once this "true love" is bottled.. then what?

Then it's put to use. It's the strongest magic I have knowledge of myself. And I think in this... on going struggle against the darkness it could be quite helpful.

[A shrug of his shoulders.] After all, all this talk of hearts and heartless, and love is the most powerful thing the heart can produce -- though hate is a close second.

[He was planning to use it to combat the heartless? If that was indeed true then Kaname had misjudged the man. It was kind of a bad habit of his.. his inability to trust others often had him expecting the worst possibility first.]

I wonder.. if that would be effective in this situation. It is an interesting theory.

[Well, with Rumplestiltskin, expecting the worst is typically the smartest strategy.]

It's the best I have, deary. After all, in my world, it's known to break the most dire of curses.

[If only love was all that was needed in other worlds]

Then perhaps it will have similar effects here.

That's my hope, yes. I have quite a bit to do back in my world. [He needs to get back, or he'll likely never find what he's lost.]
