My ex... He wants me back.

[That throws him off a bit. Not that you can tell by looking at him, but the personal sort of admission isn't what he expected her to say. Mr. Gold sets down a cup of tea in front of her, and sits down.] The question, it seems, is do you want him?

( Rose frowns as she wraps her hands around the cup of tea, warming them. ) I... honestly don't know. It's been so long since I thought of him like that, and though we did have some wonderful times together, we just wanted different things in the end... Then again, people change, don't they? They grow and learn, and they change?

[dealwithgold.livejournal.com]

No. People don't change. They adapt and it may seem like change, but deep down people stay they same at their core.

( Not... exactly what she wanted/needed to hear. Quite the opposite, in fact. She takes a careful first sip from her tea, sighing softly as warmth spreads through her. )

Regardless, it is nice to see him again after all this time.

[Sorry. He's not good at lying to make people feel better. Especially since he's already decided not to like this ex. He sips his own tea.]

I see.

( Even so, Rose has gone to see Mr Gold for an honest and direct answer to her doubts, and she has gotten just that... Whether that will help resolve her doubts is another matter entirely, but she still deeply appreciates his words.

His brief answer makes her glance up, and she smiles a little. )

I'm sorry for unloading on you like this; you'll have to tell me if it's too much. It's just that I-- trust you.

[dealwithgold.livejournal.com]

I appreciate that, but I'm not sure what you expect from me. This man must be your ex for a reason.

[justacup.livejournal.com]

I-- I don't expect anything. I just wanted to talk with someone I feel comfortable with. That's all.

I'm not the best person to ask for relationship advice.

( Oh, you get a Curious Glance for that one, Mr Gold. )

Why not?

[dealwithgold.livejournal.com]

It may have escaped your notice, but I'm not very well liked around here. People skills are not my forte.

[justacup.livejournal.com]

( Shrug. ) I like you. Plus, people skills and romance are not two things I put under the same category. One can be horrid at social convention, yet the greatest romantic partner. And vice versa, of course.

[dealwithgold.livejournal.com]

Yes, well...As a result I have not had a proper relationship in a long time. I'm a bit out of experience.
