[ welp ]

What you are. [he takes a few steps forward, looking him over intently] And what is that, precisely?

[undealt]

Something known as the Dark One. I took it to be a title, at first, but given that spell neither of us can put a name to, I'm beginning to have my doubts.

[a beat passes.] I've also never seen a sorcerer with an immunity to fire.

[not a total immunity, mind, but enough of one that he's fairly certain he should have been dead twice over the night of the attack.] I should have died in Glastonbury when Faye and Lila came to get me and I caught the backlash of my own spell. And, again, with those clockwork mages. But I didn't, and I still can't explain that.

[eldritchweaver]

And your research? It came to nothing, in all this time?

[undealt]

Only in the sense that I'm not tainted. [gruffly] Everything I know about myself I've had to glean from secondhand sources, which to a man with no memory is a bit... difficult to rationalize sometimes.

[eldritchweaver]

Some of those sources have been speaking to Wynn, since your absence.

[undealt]

I'm aware. Why do you think I came here first?

[because at least no one has talked shit about him to Hasmed. probably.] I know about the dagger.

[eldritchweaver]

And where did you learn of it?

[undealt]

[In, like, the bitterest tone ever.] From my son.

[the son i have. the son i don't remember. that son.]

[eldritchweaver]

Neal. [ :) ] Glad to see he's been forthcoming.

And you knew nothing of this?

[undealt]

What? About a dagger that has the power to control me?

[:|] Not even remotely.

[eldritchweaver]

And what do you intend to do about it?

[undealt]

That's actually what I'm here to talk about. [in part, anyway] I agreed that it's best I'm kept... under control, for lack of a better phrase. Neal believes the honor should go to Wynn, but I'm skeptical of how useful that will be. Unless he intends to pass it down to every mission leader I serve under for the duration of my time with the Knights, and you and I both know what a disaster that would be.

[eldritchweaver]

And you have a better suggestion?

[undealt]

Someone I trust implicitly to not abuse the power, but I know will do what is necessary to ensure I don't go too far.

[There's a long pause, as if Gold's hesitant to admit the identity of this person, because of what it will look like.]

Belle.

[eldritchweaver]

And you don't believe her ... feelings might be compromised on the issue?

[undealt]

No, she's too noble for that. [such faith, gold.] She'll do the right thing, regardless of how she feels.

[eldritchweaver]

That's quite a bit to leave riding on faith.

Does Wynn share your faith in her?

[undealt]

With all due respect, Hasmed- putting that in anyone's hands requires a great deal of faith. And I'd rather it be her.

[he glances aside.] I haven't spoken to him about it just yet. There's much I need to get in order first.

[eldritchweaver]

Such as speaking to her about it?

[undealt]

Indeed. There's also the matter of Ms. Swan.

[eldritchweaver]

How so?

[undealt]

She's under a curse, is she not?

[eldritchweaver]

And what does that have to do with your situation?

[undealt]

Nothing. It's just a matter that needs to be tended to, and she was my squire at one point. I'd consider it a way to prove I'm ready to return to the Knighthood in a full capacity. And if I can help Ms. Swan best her curse, perhaps I can best whatever this Dark One business is.

[eldritchweaver]

Have you been made aware of the... conditions of her curse?
