mes études
Belle studies magic.
It's tricky. Getting into and out of her rose-sphere is routine after a few days, but she still hasn't uncovered an explanation of how channeling works, though she's been informed that there are three options for how to do it (by herself, through a willing helper, or through an unwilling helper). Unlike the fourfold options for reaching the Dreamworld, this does not tell her how to begin fumbling towards a practical understanding, even though she can rule out the last one just on the basis of its description.
Beast can only do so a tiny bit of reading per day, and her pile of books that she can read shrinks much faster than his. She combs the library for multilingual dictionaries, so she can pick her way through the titles of the foreign-language books and at least prioritize them before handing them over.
Finally something in an obscure language that even Beast can barely read - Belle has to look up a lot of words - explains the channeling in a way she can understand.

He's still there, tall and fluffy and catlike. Nothing about her perception of the real world has changed.
But... behind him, or beside him, somehow existing in exactly the same place while being simultaneously and mutually visible, there is the image of a man with a familiar face, smiling a familiar smile. He is somewhat older than seventeen, but still not yet into his prime, let alone past it. The two images move together, the Beast in physical reality and the man in the reality of true essence.
Neither image is wearing any clothing. And unlike his Beast-form, his man-form needs it.

He observes Belle with her eyes closed.
"I'll go ask," he decides.

When he returns, he's wearing clothes.
Well.
One of him is.
And both of him look terribly uncomfortable.

"Never doing that again, then," he says.
And: "...Sorry."

He drags his chair around to the other side of the table.
