That makes sense. I'm just not sure how he could manage it without it being lethal, although I suppose we might not have enough information. Where did the power come from, anyway? I... you know, I could see that, too. The more benevolent, calm, retired monster who just wants to be left in peace. To raise sheep or something. As scary as he is, he's not completely one-dimensional. Maybe he could make some new friends.

Ah, but him being the guy who wrote Henry's book doesn't necessarily contradict him being Bae! Is the neat thing. It's just hard to tell, and him being all cryptic and talking circles around everyone doesn't help. Either knowing what he's about or with the being convinced that he's connected to Gold somehow, Gold's the only other one who does the verbal ring around the rosy.
