The Puppeteer

 “People could die! Innocent people, and you can’t even pretend to give a damn.”

“Ｆine. But despite what you’re accusing me of I haven’t hurt a fly. What will you do, have your husband arrest me for looking ｔhreatening?”

“Who’s asking?”

“Winter Wolf..”

“I’m afraid he isn’t anywhere near here, Mrs. Wolf. And I doubt he’s returning anytime soon.”

Charles Bukowski, “Lost” (via wordsnquotes)

“But I do believe you could put your pride aside for a moment and listen to me, especially if it means keeping the pathetic souls of Fabletown alive.”

His indifference couldn’t hide his sincerity; not that he had any sympathy for her, or the people of Fabletown. The only softness in his bitter heart was set aside for Pinocchio, and if saving the only son he had meant swallowing his pride he’d readily do so. 

Yes, she wanted his help. Like it or not, they were all in this shitty situation together. “And when it’s over? When we find a way to defeat him?” Snow asked, knowing that Geppetto was doing this for his own selfish desires. How similar they were, and she didn’t even realize. She’d helped tear apart his Empire because of the hint of a threat at her and Bigby’s cubs, and now he was going against his learned nature to help save them all for his son. If she knew how similar their motivations were, she may not like it very much.

“Not like Ｉ’ｍ stopping you.”

“Why go through the trouble to find me, Miss Rose? What do you want?”

“Ꭰ on’t wait up.” 

Blinking Rose watched as he walked past her before racing to catch up with him. “Beast asked me to escort you.” She said, grabbing him by the arm. 

It took him a few seconds to regain his composure, but by then he had already decided to keep going without her. “If you must, Ꮢose, walk beside me, or behind me at least.”
