Hm yes, he did have some time tied up, thinking he’d done in Rumpel. He came off a bit unhinged to me when he was talking to Tamara, as if yes, he’d thought but not really through through it if that makes sense? He didn’t have a new plan in place, like I’m going to go find that Swan girl and settle down and be happy. He just didn’t know what to do with himself, maybe he was waiting to be killed by his captor or see what other twists of fate come his way. He’s lived long enough I think to realize life had a funny way of throwing him for a loop so he expects it.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
