With the party concluded, Belle wants to go back and investigate the wicked enchanter and find out who it is she killed.

Does her husband wish to accompany her?

"The enchantress who made you forget so many things included in this a younger brother."

[deslandes]

"Oh, my love," he breathes, shivering.

[beheld_beauty]

Belle holds out her arms to him, and peers into his mental castle, unsure if she should say more.

[deslandes]

He hugs her and presses his face into her shoulder and cries.

He doesn't know if she should say more. He's confused and sad and a little afraid.

[beheld_beauty]

She holds him and waits for his desires to resolve into something solid.

[deslandes]

Well, he quite solidly wants her to hold him while he cries.

[beheld_beauty]

Belle can do that. She can do admirably at that task.

[deslandes]

"I love you," he mumbles into her shoulder.

"Who... what... I don't know what I want to know," he admits.

[beheld_beauty]

"I will go on knowing it. I can tell you later when you are sure you want to know, if you would rather not right now," murmurs Belle.

[deslandes]

"I love you," he sighs. "I love you so much."

[beheld_beauty]

"I love you too, mon cœur."

[deslandes]

Cuddles.

He really wants cuddles.

[beheld_beauty]

He can have all the cuddles he likes.

[deslandes]

Oh, good.
