Either that or he used it to craft an antidote that he'll then trade to Charming/James in exchange for something he wants more. Knowing what we do now about what he knows about love, he probably is guessing that somewhere down the line someone's going to come to him begging for the antidote.
And now I'm trying to think of this new contract. So, Rumplestiltstitters trades Belle her village's safety from the Ogre Wars for her freedom, and she has to go live with him for some previously designated amount of time to potentially ever. And then that blows up in everyone's faces, causing him to ... something. Do the who could ever love a Beast thing, crossed over with Richard's "But I, that am not shap’d for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass... since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, I am determined to prove a villain, And hate the idle pleasures of these days." But somehow he feels kindly enough towards her, perhaps because she tried...
Argh. Something also to notice is that Snow's the only one we've seen so far who treats him with respect and who doesn't ask for things out of greed or hate or anything. When she came to him it was out of pain, looking to ease her pain, not for selfish reasons as much as the rest of him. And she was smart, and she didn't offer insult. And maybe Belle's the same way, and he seems to respond better to that. So he trades her... maybe a day of peace or, heh. Maybe that one kiss we saw. For her freedom. Something, I ran out of think, there.
Hah. Yes. Not really flirting but a sort of sad wistful charming air about him.
That is a terrible phrase and it should feel terrible. I actually groaned out loud when I read it. :P Then again, I'm one of those killjoys who hates all portmanteau couple names. (Although the original Let's get ready to rumble is about the right speed for this episode. Along with "Shit just got real.")
