Don tried to focus on the area of the room they were in at first. He wasn't letting the crowbar go anytime soon. They had had one of their group members leave a few days ago at that point, and they were worried something might come of it. "Okay," he says at first, not looking over to the woman. Then he turned his head back toward her when she mentioned his hand. "Why wouldn't I be?" He asked her, confused by her question.

"Should I not be ready if the worst should occur?"

Hamish chuckled at her sarcasm, squinting through the growing downpour. He was struck by the fact the woman had made any progress at all against the punishing wind and thick mud. She looked very weary, but determined.

He shut the door with a clatter and braved the wet to reach her on the roadside. He crouched down slightly, instinctively checking that no damage had been done to her wheels.

"Aye, you're right enough. The only place to be in this weather is home."

He straightened up, his usually placid face lined with worry.

"Are ye staying in the village? I can give you a lift wherever you need to go."

Joseph steps out of a door, finding himself on the sidewalk in Storybrooke. He gazed back at the building he came out of before looking off in the direction of another. His head is testing him, and his heart is weak at the thoughts he has. This wasn't becoming as easy as he had been reassured of. It would take more time than the few months he had been going to the meetings.

"You cannot expect to be better in such a short time." He tells himself that as he is heading in the direction of the library.

If anything were true above all else, it would be that he was a detective. Belle was a victim and someone he was supposed to keep protected. Nothing more than that was necessary in their relationship. "Belle, I promise to keep you safe. Beyond all that you believe, your father will not harm you again." These were not just carefree words from an officer of the law. They were the words of a man who did not wish to see her in a harmful way again.

"After everything we've been through, I would lay down my life for you in a heartbeat."

{Belle French to Nicholas Rush}

Nicholas shook his head upon hearing the woman say that to him. "I wouldn't ask that of you, and I would allow it." It wasn't as if people hadn't died already for him just because he led them into the darkness. He wouldn't let someone like Belle just give up her life for him. "Why don't you just forget about me when that time comes? It will be better for you than you believe."

"Were you going to hold my hand just now?"

{Belle French to Don Harris}

Don could still hear the sounds of shifting outside of the home. One of the survivors explained that it had to be the local wildlife roaming about. Though they were all on edge, they tried to keep quiet until they could hear nothing more. He hadn't even realized how long he'd been standing there with a crowbar in one hand and his other over the woman's. It wasn't like him to invade anyone's personal space, but when you feared the worst, some things just happened. "W-what?" Donald jumps slightly away from her, moving away from the wall he had been standing near.

"I-I'm sorry, I-I promise I wasn't trying tae."

Weaver sighed as she didn't attempt to play along as he hoped. Instead, she was trying to evaluate him and just get the man to explain himself. He simply decided to shrug before he pointed off toward an open door. "What's on my mind?" The man said as he was moving toward her, he held the gesture. "You leaving, so I can go get lunch." He expressed it before putting his hand down.

"I'm not even sure why you're hanging around here."

“Oh, no. I know that look. I know what that look means. Absolutely not.”

{Belle to Gold or Weaver}

"What look?" Weaver asked as if he knew nothing of what she was saying.

"There wasn't a look; you're just thinking in ways you shouldn't." He was more trying to tease Belle than anything else. A faint smile to him as he's walking away from the woman.

Lachlan didn't want to get involved in the issues between couples. It's why he did his best to avoid relationships. He just didn't understand the point of arguing for the sake of it. "I don't want to pry, but curiosity has gotten me involved already." The man is saying this as he watches the woman crumble at the idea of seeing her boyfriend again. "Why the hell are you with someone who is a complete arse?"

He knew what she might say, he wasn't like that in the beginning, or the signs weren't there. MacAldonich was just at a loss for reasoning and a little bit off considering he had been drinking.

"what is it you want this time? "

{Belle to Durza because he's awesome!}

Durza's head tilted at the accusation she spat at the sorcerer. "So bold, such tenacity in your questioning." He stood back away from the woman, not moving any closer than where he appeared in the room.

"What makes you think I'm here for something in particular, Belle?" 

@thetownbookworm90

[shiftingmuse]

"No one's ever stood up for me like that before."

{Belle French to Lachlan}

MacAldonich gave the woman a look of confusion before he stepped back. His nerve was a bit quicker than most days. He found himself thrown off by what he had done. "Aye," Lachlan first says before he nods. "N-no problem, not a problem at all." Even if it was clear he was slightly worried about the outcome.

"No reason to be up in arms over something so idiotic."

Thank you for your kind words. I feel bad because of my portrayal of Rush.

He's such a hardened wee Scottish man who pushes everyone away. I've always tried to put that effort of his into the portrayal because he is not an easy person to get along with. The few people that do are rare to find, one of whom not even being on the ship ever in her life. lol

The man gave the woman a look of uncertainty, hearing her apology for the situation. "Sleeping on the floor is not exactly a wise option." Not when she had a room with a bed waiting for her to return to. "You've done as much as you can for me today; you should go and try to rest." He tells the woman before he attempts to pick himself up off the floor. Even in his own weary state, the man gets himself on two legs before he offers a hand to the woman near him.

"Come on, you can clock out for the day."

“we’re playing with fire, and we both know it.”

{Isabelle French & Mr Gold/Rumple

Any season works.}

""Such a fickle thing to say after everything."

The man first says this to the woman, stepping off to the side, away from her, with his cane clasped tightly in his dominant hand. "Just get on with the truth. You want nothing more to do with a man like me." He wasn't angry, but his words came out like venom. "I'm not some boy here to trouble you; I can take the hit...I understand what you want may not be my presence."

[ snuggle ] sender snuggles closer to receiver as they sleep

{I was thinking either Rumbelle or maybe RushBelle :)

Nicholas had been deep in the writing on his notepad when he felt the woman move in closer to him. He hadn't thought anything of her sleeping near him. At least not until she became too close for comfort. "Belle?" His head turns in the direction of the female, only for him to sigh. She was trying to help a lost cause by helping him. "You're not the best assistant I've ever had… Hopefully, this won't be a problem moving forward." '

[shiftingmuse]

“You deserve to be treated better than that.”

{Belle to Rush

Anyelle/Rushbelle}

Nicholas looks up from the table after having been berated by Colonel Young. He knew the reasoning behind it and why his men were up in arms. So to hear Belle trying to speak on his side, he just shrugged at the words. "You and I might believe that, but that doesn't matter. Young needs a villain in this moment; who better to turn to?" No one rightly trusted the man for good reason; even he thought Belle should be the same.
