It was a cold morning when Mother Superior awoke. Throwing on her warm clothing she looked about her room and she prayed for a moment. Things weren't getting better for the convent. Their money wasn't being paid on time and it frightened her. She didn't want to lose this place it was her home. The only place she actually call home to be exact. Mother Superior threw on her coat and she emerged out of her room after she tied her hair up in a bun like always.
Most of the sisters within the convent were awake and she greeted them. Then she turned to see who was coming on the streets. Her eyes narrowed a bit and she tilted her head. Finally she saw someone emerging out of the car. It was Mr. Gold. Why was he here? It couldn't be time for payment of the rent just yet or was it that time already. Taking in a deep breath she closed her eyes and walked outside to greet him like she always did.
"Good Morning Mr. Gold.." she said in a soft voice. Standing onto of the stairs of the convent she looked at him with a pleasant smile. She hoped he wouldn't be asking for the rent today. Mother Superior wasn't ready for it yet. She was usually well kept for the rent. Inside she nervous but she didn't show it on the outside.

A cold morning greeted Gold when he rose, though his temper had essayed some on the people of Storybrooke, due to Abi. She was the only one that for the moment, made him not as nippy though was he cheeked on the calender he saw that he had to pick up rent form the nuns.
He felt his anger flicker, it was not he hatted nuns or not all of them just he hatted one & because of it he still blamed her for his lose, something that had cut him deeply more, so then anything until he lost Belle.
Getting ready he made sure to see Abi, was well & ready for the day he had bought her a car to use as she wished though it did not change he enjoyed spending time with her.
Once ready he headed out to his car, finishing what he needed before he turned to head for the convent he would get this over with now, there was no since to wait.
Once at the convent he stopped the car before getting out he was greeted by Mother Superior, at her words he smirked this always was the same. "Gold morning Mother Superior" His tone was as if he spoke to one on business, but there was still a hidden anger just under his tone.

Standing upon the porch of the convent she interlocked her fingers as she watched him come out of his car. It was rather a cold morning but it would help her wake up even more. Mother Superior looked upon him still. She could fee the cold wind of the morning brush upon her face. She watched him come out of his car and walked towards the place she staid.
Mother Superior looked back into the convent seeing a few people watching them. She brushed them away and she turned her attention back to Mr. Gold. He had frightened her for some reason she wasn't too afraid of Regina, but she was more afraid of him. She remained still as he came towards her.
Clearing her throat before speaking she nodded her head to him. Then she said nothing for a moment. Trying to form words inside her mind. "May I ask why you are here today Mr. Gold?" she questioned softly as she remained wehre she was. Mother Superior looked at him still as she waited his answer.

Gold heard Mother Superior words he smirked before he spoke "I am here for rent Mother Superior" Why beat around the bush, he wanted this over & done with, he knew times where hard though it did not really make him nicer, well at times he was to some degree. It was just here, he did not think it would happen, so now he waited for an answer to his words & for the rent to be payed.
He still felt anger, true though with Abi being around he knew she was rubbing off on him, he was not sure if that would be good or bad, yet he was always thinking a head on what he could do or out do someone else.

So he was here for the rent. It must have been that time. "Very well" she said softly. "Follow me.." she told him a moment later and entered the convent with him following behind her. Her eyes closed slightly. She only had little money from the minors day festival that was held two weeks ago and she went into her office and stood behind her desk.
"Forgive me for it being so little Mr. Gold, but its all we have. Since the minors day we tried figuring out ideas to get more money to get the rent to you, its been hard since the summer was finished" she told him suddenly as she dug around for the little brown envelope herself and the sisters had the money for. "Here it is" she said underneath her breath. She was slightly nervous around him but she made sure it would be alright. "If you would give us more time Mr. Gold, to build up the amount, I'll be assured to come to the shop and give you the rest. But that's basically all we have at the moment" she told him calmly.

Gold heard her words he nodded before he fallowed her into the convent, he of course walked with a limp & his cane made a light sound as he moved, though he was still like a dragon, that should not be provoked. Of course once in her office he heard her words, his eyes narrowed, seeing where this was going all to quick & not liking it. Gold felt his anger flicker at the idea she would think he would give her more time & then just as quickly he felt himself flicker another way, that Abi would want him to be nice, to give them the time. He growled inwardly, this was going to kill him if he gave into her & it was going to kill him or more Abi would give him a long talk if he did not break.
Why was this so hard, it should not be so hard to run a business to keep things as they where before, though it was not so simple though for the moment he was not about to show it "And why should I give you more time, when it is not my issue that things have come up & you cannot pay on time?" Of course there was much running around his head at the time as well, mostly keeping Abi safe & being watchful of the mayors move or what she would plain next in her actions against him.

The nuns weren't doing well on the money for the next festival. They were running low and she sighed as things went quiet in between them. Mother Superior closed her eyes as he began to speak to her. She only wished he would have been easier on them and hoped he would have given them more time. Just another week or two to get the money they needed. Opening her eyes again after taking a deep breath she tried to keep her voice calm and gentle.
Mother Superior kept quiet as Mr. Gold spoke to her. "Please, Mr. Gold if you could only give us another week or so..." she began after he spoke to her. "We would have enough money for the rent. Surely you understand?" she questioned him a moment later. She didn't want to argue with him first thing in the morning but she had nothing else to do. "We will be setting up the next festival a week from today. And by then we will have the money you require. We already gave you half of it" she told him gently.

Gold listened to her words "What I understand is business & you think I would be where I am now, if I just hand out breaks to people because, something comes up?" He looked at her ready to make her life even more hell, as he spoke on "Your right I could give you a break, but I..." His tone was more like he was making a point to her, as if she should not of scene it coming.
Something in him stopped him mid sentence, he did not have to think to know who it was or more, who's affect was taking over & had rubbed off on him. He inwardly growled, he saw it a change to be rid of all the nuns, he had it in his power in his right & by all his thoughts went to Abi, he hatted this not Abi, but the idea she could have affected him in such a way
.
His felt like his nostrils flailed at the idea, of seeing a deal leaving a chance, to make them pay for his lost & yet, he could not force himself to so it as if another was in control of him, he knew very well Abi had changed him, until now he did not know how much. "Very well Mother Superior, but if you fail me I promise you will regret it greatly" Up until his last words it had been normal, though his last was a threat.

Her eyes were locked with his for a moment as he spoke to her. She tilted her head a little as he paused in his sentence. Mother Superior was curious upon to what he was thinking. Blinking lightly she tilted her head a little bringing her hands up to clasp them in front of her.
"Mr. Gold?" she questioned softly. She wondered if he was alright and she kept silent. Her eyes narrowed slightly with concern for some odd reason. She wasn't too sure why she felt concern for him. Shrugging the feeling off she looked back at him as he spoke again. Was he letting her get more time for the payment? She wasn't too sure.
Mother Superior sighed with relief and she looked at him. "You will not be disappointed. I will get the money for you when we have enough" she told him a moment later. "Do you need anything else Mr. Gold? Anything I can get you?" she questioned tilting her head with a light smile.

Gold could not believe what he just did, though he was still one of his words he would give them time, though why the hell he did he might now, he just wished he had been able to tell them no. He listened to Mother Superior at her last words he growled a simple "No" As if proving he was still his mean self, despite what happened "And do not think, me to be so kind next time Mother Superior" With that he turned to leave, he had already picked up the envelope he was going to be poor if he keep this up if he allowed Abi to affect him so, even when she was not around.

Remaining where she was she watched him leave as she stood behind her desk. Her eyes closed again as she thanked the lord that he give her more time for the payment. She said nothing else as he walked out. Then something came to her mind and she watched him leave. "Good day Mr. Gold.." she said softly and quickly went back to her work as she gathered up the ladies of the convent to help her come up with something. for the next festival.

Gold heard her words though he said nothing as he left, it was best not to he already was enough out of his normal self to worry about wanting to do it more. Once he left he got in his car & drove off, he knew that in many ways it was both there faults for the lose of his son, but it did not make him feel like he should admit it.
