I think so. What you just said, yeah, music to my ears. [A pause. It's too bad Gold can't see Saul smiling, but maybe he can hear it.]

However, if I were you, I'd maybe spend a little more time assessing the situation. It sounds great in theory, but there are a lot of people and creatures here, Mr. Gold, from all over the damn place. It might not be as easy as you imagine.

[undealt]

[Saul, you're setting yourself up for a lifetime of misery.

Though when Gold speaks, you can definitely hear the smile in his tone.]

Well, that's fair. Belle didn't give me your name, thinking I'd expect to swan in and change everything overnight, after all. I do, however, think I can provide some perspective.

[5055034455]

Not overnight, no, of course not. So what's the time frame, then? A month from now? Two? Give yourself time to settle in, make some friends, earn trust...?

[Saul bro what is your problem.]

[undealt]

[yeah, saul, what's your problem.]

Oh, just enough time to prove I can get results, I think.

[In a tone that says he's mocking u hardcore.]

[5055034455]

[Flatly:] You think.

[undealt]

Well, otherwise, it just comes off as egotistical.

[Seriously, if he sounded more coy, he'd be a sexually liberated sixteen year old girl. He finds your hackles being up HILARIOUS.]

[5055034455]

[Ugh.]

Do you want to join the Department, Mr. Gold?

[undealt]

That was certainly the point of this conversation.

[5055034455]

[Yeah, he's just going to wait for a straight "yes" or "no."]

[undealt]

[on the plus side, saul, this attitude is probably going to keep you from a world of hurt someday. just not a world of "gold routinely getting your goat."]

Yes, I do.

[5055034455]

Okay.

[See? That was easy.

Saul can keep a better watch on Gold this way, he thinks.]

[undealt]

[JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS OVER.]

There is one other thing. I promised Belle I would tell you she's doing a lovely job. She has quite a knack for this.

[public relations. rehabilitation. she's got it all covered.]

[5055034455]

Then she can be the one to train you as a greeter.

[Like this guy's getting a liaison position?

Pls.]

[undealt]

I think I'm a bit overqualified.

[And about as personable as a hedgehog. REALLY, SAUL.]

[5055034455]

What, too manipulative and charming to waste your talents on some panicked newbies?

[undealt]

Oh, there's no reason to stoop to flattery, Mr. Goodman.

[aww you think he's charming. :,)]

[5055034455]

Aw, but that's what I'm best at.
