After Bae fell asleep Rumples spoke his worries about his son being forced to join the war. As the conversation continued it hit Edward like a bunch of bricks. He was in a completely different world! Crap! How did he get here! Did Ling and Envy come here with him? He stared into the warm fire and got lost in thought. Not really paying attention to the conversation until they started talking about someone called the dark one. How Rumpelstiltskin should become the dark one to control the power.
"I don't think you should do it, "Edward butted in firmly," doesn't sound like a good idea. It's too risky. Something could go wrong with power like that."
Rumples started to tremble a little.
"B-but if I d-do it, i-i could save s-so many lives, n-not just my son's, all the children's." His face pleading with Ed.
Edward sighed.
"Do whatever you want." He felt that it was his time to leave, but first…
Edward made a show of standing up, patting his pockets and looking alarmed.
"Is everything alright?" the old man asked
Edward sharply shook his head yes.
"I'll be right back."
Before anyone could say anything else he zoomed outside. After running what Edward deemed a safe enough distance he clapped his hands and pushed them onto the ground? A little gold should be good in paying Rumples and Bae back.
Edward ran as fast as he could back to the shack and was about to slam the door open before he remembered Baelfire. He decided to instead creep the door open slowly.
"Hey, sorry about that. I accidently dropped my money on the way here."
Both men gave him a look of understanding.
"It's alright." Rumples smiled.
Ed smiled back then took the piece of his shirt he transmuted into a pouch out if his pocket and opened it and pulled out 6 golden coins. The men stared at him in shock.
Rumples started shaking and stuttering while the old guy blurted out.
"You're bloody rich!"
Edward laughed heartily at their reactions.
"Yeah I know I'm amazing!" he flipped some of his golden hair and smirked.
He put the coins in his right arm and pushed them towards Rumples, who seemed to go into a deeper shock at the notion.
"W-w-w-what?"
Edward's smirk grew even larger.
"For you and Baelfire. For takin care of me. Thanks for the soup!"
Rumples shakily took the coins and held them close to his chest.
"T-t-thank you." he breathed out.
Edward shoved the pouch back into his pocket and flipped around heading for the door.
"Thanks for everything! Take care of yourself Rumples!" Edward yelled before shutting the door.
