Beast seems to be sleeping in a bit this morning. Perhaps he has had a good dream. Belle can study on her own, anyway.

He laughs. "Of course she will."

[beheld_beauty]

"What do you mean of course? Sometimes people don't know. I can usually tell who likes who else, but everyone else winds up asking me."

[deslandes]

"Belle knows her own mind."

[beheld_beauty]

"Isn't that usually a euphemism for stubborn?"

[deslandes]

"Well, that's as may be," he laughs. "But I meant she understands it."

[beheld_beauty]

"Maybe," says Chelise dubiously. "I suppose if she says she likes me then whether she really does or not that means she's willing to try."

[deslandes]

"Why do you doubt her so?" he asks dryly.

[beheld_beauty]

"I'm good at telling when people like me. Or each other. I think that's part of why I care so much about it."

[deslandes]

"Well," he says, "I'll ask her, and then we'll know."

[beheld_beauty]

"If you say so." Pet pet pet pet.
