He knew that even if he lost that compass, he still had the bean, so all four of them would end up in SB. It’d be to his advantage if Emma thought she had bested him in that sword fight, because it’d lull her into a somewhat false sense of security for their future encounters.
It’d also be nice if he did have a moment where he thought he’d help her get back home to her son. After all, he does know the pain of being separated from someone you love.
Exactly.. Even though he was truly hurt by Emma leaving him he still wanted to show her in a way that she could trust him..And he knows he needs to be on her good side in Storybrooke..Plus he recognized a kindred soul in her and now he can’t get her out of his mind no matter what he tries so he pretends like he feels otherwise and “fights her” but really there are like 3 instances were. He could have easily won instead he made sure to draw out the fight.
I think that too.. I mean he didn’t want to be the cause of another mother separated from her son..
