Elle shifted a little embarrassed. she'd had a little left over this payday after bills and setting money aside for emergencies and had wanted to get herself soemthing nice either a painting for the space in her room or maybe another statue for her mantel. she hadn't decided yet but going through the mall and the thrift store ntohing had really jumped out and screamed 'own me' so she come here, there were lots of lovely things here after all, but after the mayor had come to see her Elle was nervous did ... did she really like Mr Gold more then just the respect of younger for older?
The idea she might have deeper feelings was all at once terrifying embarrassing and... well kind of nice. she swallowed thickly no she'd act normally like she always did she wouldn't think about Regina had said she'd get something nice for her home (which she rented from Mr Gold) at this shop (owned again by Mr Gold) with her work money (She got working for a store most likly in debt to Mr Gold, was there anyplace in story brook that wasn't?) she blushed he was all over her life! Was it anywonder if she did have deep feelings, she pretty much owed everything to this man wow... she'd never really thought about it before. gasping she shook her head, NO! she wasn't going to think about it, he was just nice to her to be polight she knew that, he tolerated her because he never had to come collect from her she was always prompt and paid in full on her rent...
shifting she stepped into the shop the bell which always rang for some reason surprised her and she jumped. realizing what it was she mentally berated herself taking a deep breath she relaxed she was being silly what did it matter what the feeling she had was called it was no reason to act differently. pulling out her note book to let him know what she wanted she started to browse almost instantly things piqued her interest bu not quiet to the 'I should be in your home' level yet.

Gold was doing something with an item at the front, when he heard he bell above his shop door go off. With it he looked up seeing Elle, he waited until she was close enough before he spoke "Miss. Swanson, what can I do for you to day?" He had already found a plum er to come out to her home to cheek, in the issue she had to see what it was. Though he was not sure if it was in regards to that or something else, he would just have to wait to find out.
He moved to lean a bit on the counter, as he waited taking pressure of his bad leg at least here it was not so noted when he did this. Though his cane was in hand, if she needed help with something.

elle looked over smiling a little weaker then usual shifting 'I had a little extra money this payday I thought I'd get myself soemthing nice.' she wrote out quickly returning her attention to the case silently berating herself before taking a breath and looking back up at him with a real smile this time and writing 'the plumber came it's all fixed up, thank you for that, how has your day been today? Good I hope' she wrote with a smile eyes lingering before looking down fidgeting
'I've tried a few different places but I can't really find anything that fits what I want, though I'm not really sure what I want this time, I've been debating between another panting for my bedroom or another statue for the mantle maybe a fairy or a swan, I'm not sure yet.' she wrote out her hands writing seemed different to a little halting sheepish and unsure.

Gold read what she wrote before he spoke "I am glade to hear that the plum er got it all fixed, I carrier a few paintings depending on the era & style you are looking for, as for a statue of a fairy or a swan, I might have something, what size where you looking at wanting?" It would help him no for one if it would fit, to start with before anything.

Elle thought for a moment before writing 'Era dosen't bother me much though I've been finding some lovely water colors of regency era Ladies that are really very pretty maybe something like that or flying swans, I guess I'm a sucker for swans. she wrote out with a smile shoulder shaking like a laugh before frowning and holding her hand up about a foot tall maybe six inches wide
'Nothing to much bigger then that it won't fit other wise. she wrote with a smile before shifting 'The mayor commissioned me to do her costumes, isn't that amazing! she wrote she'd had no one to share such exciting news with, no one to despite her worries over what the woman had said, to share her glee that the Mayor the most influential woman in the town wanted a costume made by her. She hadn't even realized she wanted to share it but now that she had it seemed important, there were so few people for a moment she felt a startling grief and awareness that she was alone and a curious sensation that she didn't need to be.. why because of her step mother surely that was it because that woman had cut her off... that had to be it.

Gold read her words "I will show you what I have, though with it being smaller I do have more of those of different kinds, I do have some that should fit that size range with out any trouble, it all just comes down to taste. As for the paintings, I will show them to you & that should help decided what is best to use"
With that he moved around the counter to show her the area that would fit the range of statues she was looking for, before he would show her where the paintings where at.

Elle blinked before smiling as he simply spoke about the statues he of course she wasn't sure what she'd been expecting, certainly not excitement not from this man no but. Something, maybe well She supposed she could be happy to just be here, Regina had seemed to think he thought of her differently because he did tolerate her and had come to feed the swans but, well, that was probably just because she paid on time, he was a businessman, what better way to ensure business then to keep the return customers happy? it made everything easier she knew that.
That sounds nice thank you. she wrote moving to follow him and look at the range of little statues pausing at statue that literally made her freeze, it was pretty little piece hand panted in softer colors carefully delicately crafted, She had no idea about antiques or anything like that but she knew looking at it she had to have it it was remarkable, sitting on a rock was a young woman pale blond hair curling around her face and frame, a soft brown pesents blouse and long darker brown skirt bare feet just poking out under it. laying across her lap was a green shirt leaning closer she could see the woman was weaving it out of... plants... her lips moved unconsciously as she studied it, around her carefully place where six swans a couple wings spread grandly all carefully crafted while the others where in different states each swan looking up at the girl, her hand shook a little as she reached out before pulling her hand back and stepping back she felt weird sick swallowing she looked away frowning she'd forgotten something what had she forgotten what was it it was important grasping the counter she took a breath before pointing and writing
'this I don't mind how much I ne she stopped scratching it out 'I would like it please.' she wrote hand shaking as she did so looking up at him she felt so confused it just it was important she had to have it if she had to with draw more money because it was actually some sort of rare eccentric collectors item, she didn't care she knew she had to have it something about it, it hurt her. She touched her forehead shifting
'If It's more then I have with me can you hold it for a little bit till I can get to the bank?" she wrote out looking around frowning what had she forgotten it seemed to drastically important her fingers moved nervously what was it what was it?!

He saw her smile, of course he had no idea fully what Regina had done, how could he knew she was more a snake in the grass them himself, he was just made to be more the bad guy. How ever it did not bother him, he knew that how people felt of him now would change little once they remembered who they where.
There where few if any he had not had a dealing with in some way, so he was sure to be a hated man once more. When they got to the statues, he watched Elle there was no missing the moment here eyes fell on the statue, one that was based of herself. It was amazing to watch, as the wheels turned though what would come of it was left to be said, but it was clear already he had a sale.
Gold read her words, they only proved what he knew already "The piece is $60.00 though, if you do not have that much, I will put it on hold for you" After all it was busyness nothing more, so it was better for him that he held it if she did not have that much.

Elle nodded fishing out her wallet that was good she had just enough she'd have to walk home she wouldn't have enough for buss fare, but she didn't care she had to have it something in her mind was screaming muffled behind a locked door of memories that wouldn't be budges what had she forgotten?!
she trembled 'I apologize I don't seem to be myself today I must have come down with soemthing.' she wrote out quickly the scrawled words where a lie she wasn't sick soemthing about that statue was was wrong and right and all sorts of things she couldn't understand but god she wanted to cry for so many emotions that forced there way through her before looking up at him and around again confused 'what about time?' she wrote she'd no was that right? she wasn't sure the force of it wouldn't go away she take it home she had to keep it but she felt like, time something important a deadline, something locked away so deep and no matter how hard she tried it slipped through her fingers like water.
pulling out the money hand shaking she gasped dropping her wallet coins scattering all over embarrassed she moved picking up her wallet and setting it on the counter crawling about to gather the lost coins needing every last one to purchase the statue

Gold watched Elle, she was clearly not her self more battling with her inner self for truth, her words he just nodded excepting her words. "The time is late 80's so not greatly old, but the artist based this one off of a fairytale so, it is not common" He watched her as she only got more, in ways worse he though best for business & to keep the statue form getting broken "Did you want me to drop the statue off at your home?" It was more think at the moment, the odds where she would drop it not a great lost to him, but to her it would & as a business man it would be good if when she had others over, that they liked the statue she would send them to him, everyone won though mostly him.

she moved standing once she'd grabbed the last coin standing laying out the bills and counting out each coin carefully before pushing it towards him looking up sharply, a fairy tale? she grabbed her note book quickly "What fairy tale I don't know this one which one is it please tell me.' she wrote quickly her head was pounding she felt like she was going to be sick the statue seemed wrong and right and wrong. When he offered to deliver it she shifted she wanted to take it home now but the way her hands where shaking
'theres no chance you'd just carry it for me and just come have tea since you said you'd come over and try it anyway is there?' she wrote helplessly confused by everything going on in her head that her usual meek modesty wasn't present and for a moment just an instant he'd see not Elle but Sarcha in the way she stood the way she looked at him eyes clear determined this as a woman who had been devoted to saving her brothers and giving everything to save them that part of herself was struggling against the curse against everything and failing.

He waited ask she got her money together & counting it before pushing it towards him, with her words to her question he spoke "The fairytale The Six Swans" He could she her hand shaking, there was a bit of concern that she might be going into almost like shock & here in his shop he could only imagine what would be said if something bad happened to her.
After all it was one thing to beat a man, but you touch a woman or one things you did & that did not go over well at all with people, less then beating up a man. He placed the money in the register, he then read her words "I think it would be better if I drove it, though I could still come over to give my thoughts on the tea for you. Though, I at the time I would not advice you to walk home ether, if you where going to do so"

Elle stood there looking at the statue intently six swans she flinched her head was aching she shifting six swans she had six swans the ones in the park so different from the others, no it wasn't possible that was just a fairy tale for god sakes she was just a mute she wasn't stupid she knew better that was all just fantasy! she swallowed looking up drive what?
"W-would you mind if you took me as well? I'm sorry to be a bother I really can't understand whats wrong with me.['/b] she managed to write clearly before offering him a smile none of this was his fault what ever was going on in her head was all being caused by this little statue, and maybe a little bit because of the mayor for tempting her with the ideas she was different... she knew better when was just a mute girl who was only good enough to work retail, she knew better.
'Can I ask you a question?" she wrote her hand seeming to move of it's own volition 'do you think it's possible fairy tails are real... how would we know if they weren't we weren't there when they where written after all... where else would someone get the idea?" she wrote hand shaking before shaking her head and huffing out a breath no it was stupid, what was wrong with her?

Gold watched her, she was taking the idea of the story hard & who she really was, even with the curse it should not effected her so. He had made it so he knew how it worked, there was more at work & who else them him self knew of the curse, but the mayor he was not sure what she had done, but she had done something, that he would have to figure out if he could.
He read her question "I can, though I will need to close up shop first" She was still clearly shaken, he hopped it would get better, but since he was going to her home any way it mattered little if he took her with, besides she did not look to be in any good condition to make it home other wise. With her last question she wrote he read it, something about everyone asking him that in some way was starting to make him wonder why. "I think they are as really as we make them & as for getting the idea, perhaps we see are self's much like a fairy tale story"

When he agreed to take her back as well she smiled nodding in thanks she didn't mind waiting as he closed up she shifted gesturing before write with a steadier hand 'would you like me to wait outside?' she didn't mind it was still light out and clear and well it was a little town nothing was really going to happen to her out there.
he didn't brush off her question much to her surprise but gave her an honest and, very easy to believe answer she relaxed nodding 'yes, of course your right.' she wrote out with a more relaxed smile, her shaking had eased and she seemed more relaxed he was right maybe that's all there really was to it, why her head was hurting she couldn't explain obviously she'd caught some illness probably a head cold and she'd be better with some tea and pain killer it was silly it was as if she was starting to think that she was the fairy tale, well that was obviously nonsense caused by the head ache clearly such a thing couldn't be possible, she was just good with animals that was all, and well maybe her need for acceptance had her weaving a fanciful idea that swans where her friend her family.
steadier now she had convinced herself it was simply illness and not some sort of madness overtaking her Elle sent him a warm apologetic smile 'I'm sorry for getting upset I really don't know what came over me she wrote out looking up Regina's words flashing through her mind now she was able to think clearly and she blushed looking down hoping he thought her reaction was due to embarresment from her overreaction and not due to the fact she thought she was in love with him.
