Rumple had left the dark castle, needing to make a deal form one that called him he had no plans to leave Belle alone again like before, he did not want her to feel he had forgotten or that he did not remember. The deal did not take long, something that was simple for him to do though his payment was not for as others a promise later, he just took the mans sword as the deal. Of course the sword was quite special & the man might not of been willing to part with it had it been for any other reason, he needed something more. The sword was stunning in detail & beauty, it was called by many Excalibur a sword, who's legend raveled his own, the the sword was a symbol of good why, he was not. How ever it mattered little the sword would become another piece to his collection, it did not take him to long to get back to the dark castle after that & once inside he still had the sword in its sheath in hand, heading for the dinning room to add it some where to everything else he had so far.
Like most of the time Rumple was dressed in leather form shoulders to feet, though he did ware a red silk shirt under his leather vest it did little to make people think other then the worst of him, somthing he found was best & worked better for him in the long run.

Robin had been in prison for how long he did not know. He didn't know where his men were, but all the time that he was tortured, bones broken all he could think about was that he needed to survive to get back to Marian and to marry her. Though the prison guards had been extraordinarily cruel this time, to inject poison into Robin hoping that it would get him to talk, seeing how the torture wasn't working. Robin knew he was dying and that if he was going to get out of alive he had to get out. So he came up with a plan, by pretending to be dead. He never understood why people never checked the pulse, but it didn't matter.
After crawling out of the dead body heap, Robin made his way over to a horse and shakily strapped himself in. He needed to save his strength for the journey ahead of him. His clothes were torn and scars and bruises covered his body. Robin rode without knowing how much time had passed. He rode with the determination of a dying man not wanting to die. He knew one person could help him, and that was Rumpelstiltskin.
As the horse stood outside of the castle, Robin slid off and made his way over to the door, using a tree branch to help him walk. He opened the doors a grin on his face, like a kid who had just crossed the finish line. He spoke softly, for his strength would not allow otherwise. "Rumpelstiltskin....it appears...as if I have come...sooner...than I expected...." Robin gasped, as he took a few shaky steps trying to find the man.

Rumple felt Robins when he entered his kingdom, not that anyone said other wise to him or got the chance. Once at his home the man came looking for him, though form where Rumple had watch him the man looked like death or close enough, of course he smirked with the mans words.
"Look what the cat dragged in a wounded Robin" He giggled lightly as he approached, a bit more serious now as he spoke again "I would say any later & you would be in worse shape then you are in now" He looked at Robin before he spoke "So what can I do for you?" He had to hear it, had to know for sure & a deal had to be made, all magic came with a price it had to be made, yet he was not sure what to ask for from the man. Rumple appoched Robin now, as he waited to hear for his words.

Robin laughed, which looked more painful than anything. Grinning Robin nodded, "nice...to see...you're in a...good mood..."
Robin took a deep breath and nodded at Rumple's words at his condition. Yes, he knew exactly what state he was in, it was rather obvious. "Yes...they collected...dead bodies....at a good...time...and the...horse..."
Robin coughed clutching his body. "If you don't....mind....I'd like to be...healed..." gasping for breath Robin continued, "they...also poisoned me...but I can't...recall...what it was..." Robin looked at Rumple.
"As...as for the price....what are you...thinking....I want to know...before...I make...a deal." Robin was clinging onto life but he wanted to know the price before. It was how he worked, and always would.

Rumple just smirked more with Robins words of his mood, at his question of a price "I suppose your heart is out of the question" he though a moment before he spoke on "Your bow & arrows" It was a simple deal, though he was know to ask for odd things, but he knew Robin had little only what he had on him or stole & since he could not say what he had all stollen, it was best to stike to what he was sure the man would have.

At the mention of his heart, Robin's hand automatically raised up to it, as if it would protect him. But as he did he realized it wouldn't really matter, after all he would be dead, and his heart wouldn't really be of any use to him. But Rumple continued on and Robin listened. He thought it interesting that Rumple wanted his bow and arrows, after all Robin made a new bow and arrows periodically, maybe it was because they were hand made, but then again Robin didn't really have the strength to deliberate why.
Robin nodded and slowly took off his bow and arrows, lying them on the ground. "Sorry....they're a bit...dirty...from my wounds...I can...clean them...after...if you...want...."
After carefully placing his bow and all his arrows which were still in their case for easy access, Robin stood up, "you...have a...deal..." Robin looked at Rumple interested in what the man would do next.

Rumple watched Robin as he moved his hand over his heart & then removed his bow & arrow, with his words he spoke "If you want to you can" But, it mattered little to him, he could use magic to clean them up to like new, as Robin agreed to the deal, Rumple could not help but giggle at the idea. With a flick of his wrist a veal appeared with a liquid inside of it, he then spoke as he held it out to Robin "Drink this, it will heal you" Of course he had potions before, though this one was upgraded it was used with the tears form Rapunzel that he had just gained, he was not use how useful they would be, but he was finding a reason for them now & on top of it he was able to mimic the cure of the tear, so it would be just as good as the real one.

Robin nodded to Rumple's words. It was an old habit of his, and one of tradition to always clean his weapon, especially if he was giving them away. It was soothing to him, and helped relaxed his mind.
Robin took the potion and held it up to Rumple, "cheers" Robin opened the potion and drank it, feeling as it went down his throat like a warmth was spreading throughout him. A few seconds later and he was healed. Robin still held onto the tree branch, but merely because he didn't want to put it down, feeling it rude, and it was a good branch, a good memory. He may fashion a new bow or arrows from it.
Robin bowed to Rumple, "thank you for saving my life." Robin looked up and held out the empty bottle, "do you want this back at all? And I can clean them if you want, I mean, unless you have something you need to do or company or something. I know you can use magic to do it, it's sort of an old tradition to clean one's weapons. Makes them work better."

Rumple heard Robins words "A deal is a deal is it not?" He did take the bottle back since why should he not, it could be used for later on with Robins last words he spoke "If you want to you can & just bring them back when you are threw" After all he knew where to find Robin not that people really could hid form him or anything.

Robin nodded, "but still, thanks."
Robin looked surprised, "it doesn't take me that long to clean them." Robin said as he picked up the bow, taking out his cleaning cloth, and quickly cleaned the bow, arrows and carrier so that they looked brand new.
He handed the newly cleaned items back to Rumple, "now they are fit to be given." Robin waited for Rumple to take the items back. "I'm guessing you get this question a lot, but why the bow and arrows? I mean, I craft a new bow and arrows pretty frequently, it's not like they're a family heirloom or anything. I guess I'm just curious. You don't have to say obviously." Robin looked at Rumple not knowing what to expect, after all it was his first deal.

Rumple said nothing as Robin cleaned the items once done he took them, with Robins other words he spoke "It very at times my reasons for asking for one thing or another, but most the time it comes to what one ones or that, you own little so your bow & arrow where a wise choose, besides the stories told of you skill with a bow mealy make it something to add to what I already have"

Robin nodded, "guess that makes sense." Time and time again Robin had learned how great it was to own little, after all owning little could mean at times the difference between life and death.
Robin laughed, "I feel as if I don't deserve that honor. There are many before me that were far better than I am. I hope there aren't any ancient weapons of legend around here, my bow might split with humility." Robin knew he was good with a bow and arrows, but if he really was good, he wouldn't keep getting thrown into prisons or being in near death experiences.

Rumpled giggled "We shall see with time if your bow does or not, but so far it is holding up so I do not think you have to worry about it splitting" Of course he had all kinds of things form big to small most that he cared for in the spinning room, the rest where in a room in his castle set a side for such things & rooms where added to it as needed.

Robin laughed, "yes, it should hold up fine. If you ever need another let me know, in my down time I work on making more, helps relax the mind."
Robin looked at Rumple unsure if the man wanted to say or do anything else. "Well, if you no longer need my presence, I should get back and try to find my men. They seemed to have disappeared on me, seeing how they weren't in prison as well. Which of course is a good thing." Robin smiled and waited patiently for Rumple's response.

"I will do that" He of course doubted that he ever would need another, but it was nice in a way that Robin offered. "I do not need you around, unless you have reason to stay, though form the sound of it you have other issues to deal with & I leave you to it" He watched Robin to see what, the man would do of course he would much more spend time with Belle his deals did get him interested.
