HOW || Actionspam

[ Gold's been gone now for long enough to leave most people assuming that he isn't going to come back. Driven off by confirmation that he was, in fact, the Dark One from the Enchanted Forest by Gaston and Emma, the only indication that he's even alive came in a dream delivered to Belle, where he admitted that he was looking to understand more about this Dark One, perhaps seeking a way to refute the claims of the others. Plenty of people are worried, however, about what direction his search might take him. Others, however, are just plain pissed that he would abandon them without a word - and it's that anger that drove Faye to ally with GLADOS to discover that he was in Glastonbury, and with Lila's help enlist Zero to pinpoint his exact last known whereabouts, at a shitty motel. Together, the girls take a car and head out, hoping to find him once and for all.

There's only one car in the lot when they pull in, the VACANCY sign flashing forlornly above the office door. No lights are visible in any of the rooms, but a COKE machine provides some illumination, along with the lone pair of streetlamps that dully lighten the parking lot. ]

What's there to get? You were right. He didn't want to be found. [She's still not convinced that he won't run again. He's going to have to put in some time and prove that to her.]

If he had trusted me, he would have told me what was going on with him.

[impetere]

Maybe. Or maybe he's just a coward who runs from his problems instead of facing them. Him bailing like that wasn't right. But there are a lot of people who care about him despite of it. And no one deserves to get themselves killed because they're scared to ask for help.

[So, she shouldn't have written Gold off is her point.]

Look, I personally don't care if he comes or goes. He doesn't matter to me. But he matters to a lot of people I care about, including you. I should have helped.

[reallywicked]

You were helping. It just wasn't me. [Cora chose to help Belle, which is her own business and Faye's not mad about that. She's not really mad about anything. She's just... feeling more than a little lost.]

Sometimes you have to pick sides.
