I know that Rumple crippled himself and Milah knew that, but wasn't it a little unreasonable to expect a man with a bad leg to walk around picking up and carrying piles of wood? He was looking after Baefire, after all. And as we saw, childcare is an especially important and fulltime job in the enchanted forest. You can't just leave a child to wander around the woods unattended. Who knows what could be out there, things like hungry witches, deep pits, wolves, bandits, evil queens, ogres, well- meaning fairies, ect.

Also, I'd say that something is only brave if it's not an act taking advantage of someone in a weaker position than yourself. Such a thing carries no risk which would make the act brave, and is actually cowardly. The witch doctor was sleeping, and Rumple was able to get the jump on him. Although the witch doctor might have been very dangerous when fully awake, in this case Rumple had all the power in the situation. So killing him wouldn't have been brave. Aggressive, yes, but not exactly staring danger in the face.

Merida got an unarmed Belle alone and knocked her out as soon as she turned her back.... Probably knowing that nobody who would notice if she went missing. Not brave, aggressive.

If Milah wanted someone who would be ruthless and aggressive, she should have married Gustan.
