Cowardice is not something which easily befalls him - foolishness, however...Black boots take careful steps along the village green, eyes watchful lest his longtime foe catch him unawares. He has yet to find the creature’s secret, the crocodile’s demise, as it were - but ever a man of confidence, Killian is willing to bet he can goad the other man out. The whispered rumors and strangled confirmations coaxed from lips with curved steel assures the pirate that Rumpelstiltskin is indeed here, no doubt intent on ruining someone else the way that he himself was so carelessly tossed aside.
Fingers wrap around the hilt of his blade, drawing it forth as gaze falls upon the infernal demon in question. “Aye, so we meet again crocodile - “ He is not so daft as to think he has any ounce of hope, but vengeance chases out self preservation - and the instinct to crow all but slips out of the pirate’s throat. “What is it this time, mate? Come to torture another over jealousy for a thing you, yourself, lost?”
