Yes, I agree that Rumpel probably not interested in talking about Bae–but Hook might be. I also think Rumpel would suggest the split Hook, Emma and Regina, so that he could be paired with Snow and Charming–with the plan to ditch them. He might also ditch them the moment they get to NL.
I do wonder though–if this is a suicide mission for Rumpel, does he not care about saving Henry? I mean, who exactly is going to take care of Henry if he says I don’t care about Emma, Regina, Charmings, let everyone else who loves Henry die? Does he think he will send Henry back to Belle? I am a wee bit puzzled there.
If Rumpel ditches them, then I am not sure the others would willingly split up 3 and 2. It might be the JR gets shipwrecked –we never know–or someone gets lost off the ship when it lands.
“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
