[well that's a small bit of relief. it doesn't really change the BELLE CONTROLLED HIM part, except he knows damn well he never really gave her the real dagger and that probably didn't change.

I know better than anyone what desperate situations can do a person. I could never be angry with you for that.
[of course gold can't properly chastise her for betraying his trust, knowing he's done it MULTIPLE TIMES, so he's left fumbling for a second.]
No. It's quite unlike you. However, I can trust that it won't happen again. I know things can be difficult- I can be difficult. I can't count the times you've forgiven me for my actions. And with that in mind, I can't hold this against you.
