[Private to Arthur]

Stop yelling at the people teaching me. I asked them to.

[Private to Rumpelstiltskin]

[She's been torn over saying anything to him, because he kind of went to bat for her, but she thinks he did it all wrong.]

I'm not a baby, you know.

You have no need of any magic I could teach you. You already have more power than many I have known.

[Private]

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

How do you know?

[Private]

[worsetodie]

I've an eye for these things. [He sighs] I will tell you this much: If you have need of aid I will do what I can. No charge. And I make very few exceptions in my line of work.

[Private]

[She doesn't know when she'll have need, but it's much better than nothing.]

All right.

[A beat] Don't listen to what he says about me. Any of it.

[Private]

[worsetodie]

I can't stop my ears from hearing, dearie. But I will promise you this much: before I assume anything he says as true about you, I will ask you.

[Private]

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Good.
