Belle is dusting the shop. Rumple has such a lovely collection but he only occasionally remembers to clean it. Having started, she can see why he avoids the task- there's all sorts of small, delicate pieces that accumulate just horrific amounts of dust- but she refuses to let that stop her. The shop is entirely too dusty, and she is going to fix it.
It's something to do, at least. She doesn't need to be in the library for another hour or so, and Rumple's gone off somewhere again. She suspects he's getting her a present again. She keeps telling him he doesn't need to buy her things, she loves him just the same, but the fact that he thinks to buy her gifts makes her so happy she hasn't really made him stop.
She's free, she's found Rumple, he loves her, she loves him. Life is good. And right now, at this second- this shop is going to be spotless.
She moves onto the next piece, humming to herself in contentment.

"Vengeance on - whom? That was a name, wasn't it? I don't have any particular reason to be vindictive against anyone, let alone someone I've never met before. This is Lynnari," he motions to Lynn, "I'm Adarin, we arrived here by magic because our other option was 'fry in a horrific explosion' and I am exceptionally confused at how you're acting like you know me and calling me - Rumple?"

"I think," says 'Gold,' "that I am very much not the person you both seem to think I am. At - all. I'm from very far away, we came here because our other option was horrific death by fire, and I am wearing clothes, thank you."
He looks at Belle, awkwardly.

She walks over, and pulls out a strip of cloth and offers it to Belle. Also, shoulder-pat.
<"There, there,"> she says, gently, if unintelligibly. <"If he says something mean again I will rip out his intestines.">
