What the. . . ( the pirate straightens, annoyed. he will pretty much always hate the Crocodile, but it's harder to throw things in his face when he doesn't remember doing them. they've gone into this at least once, now; Regina is apparently from his future, which means it makes sense that it's possible for Rumpelstiltskin to be from his past.

he just doesn't like it, is all. )

Kindly don't refer to yourself as someone else. You're still the Crocodile, past present and future. ( doesn't matter if he hasn't done it yet, because he will. ) I didn't believe it until it was too late, and of course you had a price to take it off again. ( Hook doesn't even know the price, as of yet, but he knows how foolish he would have been to pay it. to spare the risk of hurting someone he actually cared about, the knave didn't qualify. ) When the fuck did you get here? Are you honestly trying to claim you've no idea what's going on? I don't buy it.

( Rumpelstiltskin had to have fingers in this pot, somehow. Hook doesn't believe any alternative. )
