Robin had decided to take a trip, leaving the temporary camp he had set up with the Merry Men and Little John. Walking through the forest and surrounding landscape, Robin thought about all the changes going on, and how he could better help the poor and those that were oppressed.
He also had to think about how to feed the Merry Men, and provide them with new clothing, especially with the changing of the seasons. Robin was wearing his usual outfit, allowing him to blend into the scenery, and carrying his bow and sword. He also had packed a small pack of provisons and various odds and ends. Robin kept an eye out for any impending danger as he continued on his journey.

Rumple was meeting a person that wanted to make a deal of course he never forced a person to make a deal, he always left them an out yet when the deals when bad or more the person wanted out he was scene as evil & a lie, though it did not take him long for the person to show up & the requested was simple of course & his requested was as well & in the end both had what they wanted & he was sure that for once the one he made the deal with would not be one to in the end at least with this deal blame him for something going wrong, though that was wishful thinking. With the deal done he turned to leave his horse was a ways off, though he did enjoy taking in the view at times or when he could, the deal was done in a field & now Rumple walked closer to the trees that where around, though not into them just more in between the trees & field.

Robin noticed that the tree line was thining, which either meant there was a clearing or a field of some kind. Judging from the vegetation he guessed that it was a field. Walking more swiftly down a steep incline, Robin popped out of the forest and into the field. Looking around he noticed that there was a figure some paces ahead of him. "Hullo!" Robin shouted, not being able to see who the figure was clearly.
Robin waved his arms in the air. "Do you know by chance the names of these parts?" Robin gestured to the surrounding land.

Rumple heard the voice & words it was coming form behind him he stopped as he turned to look at the one that spoke it was Robin, well this was a change of things or the man did not know who he was, well time would tell. He looked at Robin before he spoke "Yes I do, are you lost dearie?" He giggle lightly though it was not as high pitched as he did at times, though he was still enjoying the moment all the same.

As Robin approached the figure he realized that it was the man known as the Dark One. Smiling, Robin chuckled to himself. This was an interesting development. "Good day to you too. One is never lost, I was wondering however if these lands were called by any certain name."
Robin grinned, "though that does not matter. I'm guessing you've made deals in these parts?"

Rumple heard Robin chuckle though to what for sure he could not say, even if he had an idea since Robin was being well nice, Rumple decided to be a bit more on the nice side though him not hitting you with a spell was a good side. "These lands have more then one name, just depends on who you ask & yes I have" He could not say what would happen with this meeting, this talk, but right now it was all good, he was not wanting the man dead so that was good for Robin.

Robin nodded, "ah, I see."
He looked at Rumple and raised an eyebrow, "if you don't mind me asking but how do you manage to get so many deals?" Robin waited for Rumple to respond.
He was curious as to how Rumple did it. If it was something that all those people had in common, something about Rumple, both or something else. He was fine if Rumple didn't want to talk about it, he was just interested in the matter.

Rumple said nothing to his first words, but then why did he really need to at his question Rumple could not help, but to giggle as he spoke "It is simple dearie, there is always people wanting to make them & normally they come to me" Of course they could go to Regina, but he was known to be good at making what ever happen, so most came to him then any other, even if some called him it matter to him to be the same they still came to him.

Robin ignored Rumples word choice of dearie. He probably called everyone that hoping they would get upset, blow a lid, and then Rumple could have an excuse to put them through his magic tricks. He found it rather ironic how people came to get things from a rotten man, and other people didn't want to give up things from one such as his line of business.
Robin smiled, "who would you say is the poorer? A rich man who puts his boots on the backs of the people, or a poor man whose boots are worn and ragged yet cherished by the surrounding community?"

Rumple heard Robins words he was not sure if that was a blow at him, but he would allow it to pass encase it was though he knew the answer to well, after all he was not rich to start with so he had been in both shoes, of course rich did help when one had to think of starving other wise. "I would say a rich man or course I take it your question has some motive behind it? Or could it be you ask everyone the same thing?" Likely with Robin he asked everyone that, to know where to place them in his mind after all he had not missed the story's of him robbing the rich to give to the poor.

Robin grinned, not saying where that placed Rumple in his mind. "Ah, some people I ask, others it's easy to tell what their answer will be. For those kinds I ask them to stop doing whatever it is, and if they say no, well then it's their loss, lietarly." Robin took out a piece of bread breaking it in half, offering part of it to Rumple.
"The world works in a funny way now a days. Guess it always was the same." Robin stated biting into his piece of bread. "But take for instance when a man dies, his last thoughts unspoken in his mind of the material world. A rich man only wants longer to live to lavish in his luxuries, and a poor man only wants the death to take him sooner so he may finally be free." Robin grinned as he finished his piece of the bread.

Rumple heard Robin's well most of it was right, though he could say that some poor just wanted things to happen for a better change, more then death & some rich did good things, but such people well they where rare & he should know that to well. Of course if Robin asked him to stop what he was doing, it would not happen he could not even if he wanted to, the curse of the dagger bound him to make deals in some fashion & so he did so. As Robin offered the bread to him he moved his hand in a gesture or no thanks, he really was not hungry & he was leer of eating what others offered, perhaps more form his past, but he was not bringing that up. Of course he did not miss Robins words even if he could say it was not fully true, but he was not getting into that matter ether for he was not getting anything really out of it now was he watching Robin he spoke "So what brings you here Robin, a bit far form home are we not?" Rumple was guarded for the most part he always was, but he was interested in why Robin was around & if he was around the odds of his men being around as well.

Robin put the extra piece of bread back into his pouch. To Rumple's words he laughed, "being Outlaws of our own home, makes one want to travel a bit. Me and the men decided to go explore the lands around for good fun. There's nothing like the fresh air and the open country to lift your spirits." Robin grinned.
"Do you get to travel outside your own lands a lot?" Robin asked wondering if Rumple had even seen the world.

"Of course, though having a price on your head does not help & when the winters come to the lands then what, cannot say it would be as much fun if any because of the cold that comes with it" Of course he was descent enough when it came to saying anything about a price on there head after all he made no move to collected it, not that he really needed it any way. At his last words he spoke "I go where I am needed" So in the end he went every where, though that did not mean he did not enjoy being home & more so with Belle being at his home, something he looked forward to when he got home today.

Robin laughed, "oh, yes, always forget about that. There was this one time when we tried turning ourselves in to get the money, spent a couple days in prison, faced the block, the whole royal treatment. Being with good fortune we did end up escaping and stealing most of the money we were suppossed to get. Nasty fellow trying to back out of his own deal." Robin shook his head, smiling at the memory.
"Hope you get some time to enjoy yourself in there as well. Though I think we both do enjoy what we do, in some way." Robin looked at Rumple waiting to see if he had anything to say.
