Rumple had felt the chill in the air long before it started to snow, of course that lead to waking up in the morning to the first snow of the year covering the ground, thankful Rumple had no deals to worry about not that he would at the moment & the castle was quite warm, though the snow left everything out side under a coating of snow in all deeps, Rumple knew it would help keep the ponds, cheeks & such full around villages meaning not as likely to be called to fix the issue, but time would tell how it all played out.

Belle had not been expecting snow. She had still been feeling saddened by his words that day in the woods though it was better now. Things were almost back to normal. Well as normal as they could be. Sh had gotten up before him as she often did these days and had made his tea knowing his schedule. It would be hot for him when he came downstairs. It was only after she had placed the tea cup at his placing on the table she finally took the first glance outside. The snow surprised her. Belle's mind was flooded with memories of her childhood. She stood there starring outside and forgetting about everything else. Belle had a sweet smile on her face as she lost herself in her own thoughts.

Rumple had not forgotten what he said to Belle before, though they had moved on or as much as could be, he could since the drift still between them at times, yet he would not press for things to meant over night or more a few nights. He had given her the gift of the mirror, though since he had not heard it shatter or more scene it shattered, he took it that she found it, ether that or she found it & had yet to open the gift as if expecting it to be something that would harm her, but he would not ask on the matter.
He moved down the stairs with ease, before he entered the room he smirked as he saw Belle it was clear she was starring at nothing or more remembering something, but he said nothing as he approached her he knew the snow was there, but unlike her it did little to wake such childish thoughts or memory's, ether that or he just hid them well enough that he was not left like Belle was right now.

Belle had not heard him come downstairs nor heard him approach her. So after a few moments, when she backed away from the window, Belle bumped right into him. Having not expected him to be there, Belle let out a yelp and then turned around quickly. Seeing him standing there, Belle blushed at her own actions and then chuckled softly.
"Your too quiet." She told him softly now and then glanced back out the window. "Did you see?" She asked him. "I remember..." She cut herself off with a soft shake of her head. He wouldn't care about her memories. "Your tea is on the table." She told him now changeling the subject. Belle gave a soft smile and then started to step around him.

Rumple chuckled as Belle walked into him & yelped, at her words he giggle lightly "Dearie, I doubted noise or not you would of noticed, you where more focused else where then hear" He smirked with her words on being quite "Ow, but it is fun to be so. Like right now & I can only imagine if I had I touched you" He giggle again at the though, crossed his mind, he could think it would of been worth it even, if she took a swing at him. He smirked her with her words in if he saw "Yes dearie, I saw the snow that is cold & unforgiving, like myself" He did not miss the words that fallowed even if she did not finish her words, to speak after that his tea was on the table he moved to take a seat before he spoke "What is it you remember?" His tone was soft, he waited to see if she would answer, if she did not then he would not ask again. With that he moved to take his tea cup in hand as he took a drink, she had the touch to make it the way he liked & he also hopped she would join him for tea.

"What is it you remember?" He asked and Belle watched him taste his tea. She moved slowly towards the table and perched herself on top of it as she often did. Belle thought for a moment unsure if she should tell him or not. He may think it was silly. She was sure that he did not have many if any of the same experiences growing up.
She looked down at the floor for a long moment before she spoke. "Play in the snow..." She started. "Making snowmen and throwing snow balls." She blushed a little. "Back when I was young and carefree, I had a lot of fun in the snow and then I grew up. Those sorts of things are not acceptable anymore."
Belle shrugged now and then she looked at him and gave a small smile.

Rumple heard her words he smirked lightly before he heard her last words he giggled lightly, not at the idea of her playing in the snow, but that she had not told them nicely that she would do it if she choose. He looked at her before he spoke "You mean to tell me dearie, that you can threw a book at me & hit me, yet you could not tell them, nicely that you where going to go play in the snow?" He looked at Belle "So tell me dearie, who did you declare war on when throwing your snowballs," He smirked more as he went on "Perhaps some boy that, said they would best you & you could of course not stand around to hear that" He giggled lightly at the thought, before returning to his tea as he waited for her to speak & finish speaking he finished his tea.

She heard him giggle and Belle blushed deeper. "You mean to tell me dearie, that you can threw a book at me & hit me, yet you could not tell them, nicely that you where going to go play in the snow?" He asked and Belle looked away. "I'm sorry I threw the book at you." No she wasn't but she felt that it needed to be said. Bur before she could continue, he was speaking again. "So tell me dearie, who did you declare war on when throwing your snowballs," Belle smiled a bit. "Perhaps some boy that, said they would best you & you could of course not stand around to hear that" At his giggle again, her smile grew wider. "No..." She told him. "Mainly at the hired help when they were not expecting it." She chuckled herself now. "I used to wait until they were not expecting it..."

Rumple finnished his tea before setting the cup down as she spoke, when done he smirked as he giggled lightly as he spoke "I see sorry to threw the book at me then hitting me dearie, I cannot say you are for it at the time, I think anything could of been threw providing you could threw it" His smirk grew as he giggled again "Lucky me it was not snowing, would have to worry more about a surprise attack, then it already was" He giggled lightly as he watched her " He watched her "So dearie after the element of surprise, what next did they return fire or did you get them on the run?"

"I see sorry to threw the book at me then hitting me dearie, I cannot say you are for it at the time," He told her. "I think anything could of been threw providing you could threw it" Belle forgot herself for a moment as she met his eyes. "Well then you should watch what you say to me." She told him with a smirk to match his own. "Lucky me it was not snowing, would have to worry more about a surprise attack, then it already was" He continued and Belle chuckled.
He was right about that. At the time, if she had a snowball, he would certainly have gotten it across his head. "So dearie after the element of surprise, what next did they return fire or did you get them on the run?" He asked her causing Belle to chuckle again. She turned slightly towards him now and tucked one leg under her. "A bit of both really." She told him now. "Some were too afraid to through one back at me but the younger ones were willing to risk it."

Rumple giggled with her words "Should I know?" He looked at Belle as he smirked "Ow I see, had them scatter there ranks leaving the more young & inexperienced ones, a mistake on there part. Yet a victory to you, all the same & when it happened again, where the same young ones willing to take a risk?" The chances where yes, more because most the time the young did not think much about strategy or tactic "So mighty Belle, did you learn your tactics form reading your books?" He was not sure if she had read books on it, knowing her she had he never meet one that could read as much, not a bad thing just not common, though he did find he enjoyed it & besides she could keep up with him on many topics.

"Should I now?" He had asked. "Yes you should. Belle retorted right away. "I would think that you would take into consideration the fact that I cook your meals and make you tea." She was only playing, not making a threat. "You'll want to be nicer to me." She gave a small smile. Of course she would never actually try to hurt him. Not seriously. It was not in Belle's nature.
"Oh I see, had them scatter there ranks leaving the more young & inexperienced ones, a mistake on there part. Yet a victory to you, all the same & when it happened again, where the same young ones willing to take a risk?" He asked. Belle chuckled. "Of course what type of snowball fight would it be if they were not fighting back?" She asked. And no I did not learn about it from books... its something most people just know how to do." She paused for a moment. "Have you never had a snowball fight?"

Rumple giggled lightly "Ow, of course dearie I will be sure to keep that in mind, besides we cannot have you ruining the tea not can we" He smirked "Dearie even in a snowball fight one should know when they have meet there match & I spoke of tactics in your snowball fight, of course like most things I am sure it was not even thought of" At her question he was not sure he could answer, even with it being a simple one "Yes... many years ago I did" Of course that was before he was wounded, called a coward, made a cripple, before he had his powers, before war had threatened, it was a better life then, with out the knowing of war & its hardships. No one should have to go threw such things, yet it would never stop & in the end, people suffered, husbands, sons, daughters, mothers & so on it never would end, of course he could stop it, but it would not insure it never happened again in many places.

Belle saw the loo on his face when she had asked him if he had had a snowball fight. He looked almost pained and of course that was not the reaction she wanted from him. Belle asked nothing more of it however. She did not want to ruin the day. Instead, she stood silently and moved lightly to his side. Only wanting to comfort, her arm moved to cradle his head and she placed a brief kiss against the part of his hair on top of his head. It was very quick. There and then gone. Abi still said nothing. She released him and moved to leave the room to tend to his breakfast and the house.
It was not until a few hours later that she made her move. Belle had been in the kitchen and looking out the back door at the snow. She bent and took a handful making a snow ball and then took a bit more between her fingers. Belle did not want the snow to meant too much so she hurried threw the castle to find him at his spinning wheel. Belle stepped up behind him and deliberately let the loose snow slip off his fingers and down the back of his shirt.
She took a few steps back and grinned snowball in hand.

Rumple watched Belle, a moment more habit then anything he felt her action & even as quick as her action had be his body had not tensed as he after word would of though it would. Of course once she left he took that simple as the end of the talk & like always he was called to his wheel to spin even more gold then he would even need, he heard Belle enter though he was use to her presents he had not looked up a mistake he would learn form, as she dropped the snow down his back he was instantly on his feet, as the cool went down his back & it was enough that even pulling his shirt off would have no aid for him, a moment of shock & he turned quickly around seeing Belle he smirked & it was the kind like she best prey he did not caught her, for it was war.
He started to approach her almost like he would stalk her, to get the idea where she would go before she moved to head her off like some scared animal, of course with Belle it was not as likely to work, but a case was to come. "Taunting the beast are we dearie?" His tone showed he was in a playful mood, but it also held the hint that he was not going to do just nothing about it.
