"Well, at least we have that in common. It's fun to watch things go boom!" Even though she meant it only as an indicative gesture, Rocket narrowed his eyes when Steel pointed a weapon at him. "Hey, but watch where you're pointing that thing," he warned, whipping out his laser canon and aiming it right back at her. "The one thing I don't like to watch go boom - myself. And the name's not fuzzball, it's Rocket. Remember that, or I'll blast a hole through your circuits...or whatever it is that runs through your body like veins. And if that's what a little fuzzball can do, imagine what my strong, hulking friend can do to you. He ain't as slow as he looks. And, yeah, his name is Groot," he confirmed, having his blaster make a threatening "powering-up" sort of noise, just for kicks. He was all too familiar with that look she was giving him - underestimating him, and even Groot. That was a mistake. "So...what you're telling me is...that you're made of metal...but you're alive?" That didn't sound right. Metal things were meant to be scrapped, taken apart, tinkered with, rebuilt. What Steel was telling him was that this rule no longer applied to everything. "Well, that just limits my creativity! And hey, I didn't catch your name," he added, gaze narrowing once more.
Rumplestiltskin nodded understandingly as he stopped pacing. "A valid point, dearie." he tilted his head. "But I can assure you, I don't lie." True, he twisted the truth, bended it a little, toyed with words, but the phrasing he used was always such that it could never be accused of being false. Perhaps he wasn't always completely honest, but he didn't spin lies. "And I promise you, I only plan to help someone with the dragon scales. I'm brewing a potion, and it's going to help someone. Are you satisfied? If you don't let me have what I want, someone is going to suffer for it. And I don't just mean you," he added, before his gaze turned to Emma's hiding spot. A grin crossed his features. "You can come out, dearie...or should I say...Ms. Swan?"
