[Belle woke up early in the morning feeling a sudden wave of home sickness she hadn't felt in months. But it wasn't Beast's castle that she longed for, but the small cottage she had lived in with her father and their small assortment of animals.

It's this feeling that brings her to the stables. She's only been here a handful of times since arriving to accustom herself with the horses and to take one out for the occasional ride. Things have been so busy she hadn't been able to come by recently.

She spends most of the morning feeding the horses treats and keeping them company. Eventually she gets one saddled and goes for a ride through the forest, though she's careful not to ride out too far from the village. People may catch her during her ride, or they may come upon her while she's at the stables before or after her ride.]



[After she finishes brushing down the horse she took out for a ride, she decides to sit down and pull out her journal. She has a question she would like to ask the village.]

Good afternoon, Luceti. I should also welcome all of the New Feathers who have arrived. My name is Belle. I have a question I would like to ask everyone, out of mere curiosity, nothing more. So no one should feel pressured to answer. But how many of you had animals you cared for back home? Or do you have any here in Luceti? And if neither of these, what kind of animals are your favorite?

As for myself, I grew up caring for my horse, Philippe. I suppose that's why I feel so comfortable around horses. I miss him every day...[She pauses for a moment before continuing, sounding more upbeat.]

Well, I'm curious to hear everyone's answers.

[The strangest part is meeting someone who doesn't know, honestly. Eleanor thins it over.]

When I was little, I and many other girls my age...six, seven, were kidnapped. We were given drugs and surgeries and implanted with a..creature...In my stomach. A slug from the bottom of the ocean. And sent out into the city to steal blood for corpses.

I don't remember much after that, honestly. I...Mother rescued me, and it took her years to fix what they had done to my mind, but...she couldn't fix my body. The other girls weren't even that lucky.

I may have my sanity, but I am still a freak.

[Eleanor sighs.]

Fault has little to do with it. I am what they made me, regardless of who is responsible.

Knowing that I am blameness does not remove the thing living inside my body. Or the changes they made to my DNA.

It doesn't define who I am. Only what.

It's not really claiming ownership, I think. That's something else. But saying you take care of an animal and have a bond with it sounds a lot better than just living with one. It represents the relationship better, you know? It might not be as strong as Beast's bond, but it's still a bond.
godbent: (Yeah I don't like that)

Yeah, I guess he is. [Sekai, for his part, is just inspecting the other young woman. Hmmm... ]

[Sekai tilts his head. He then just pecks at the hand. Once, and then twice. And then looks off to something to the left]

True! He is very smart as roosters go.

Especially if you're like me and end up thinking too hard half the time. A carefree attitude like Sora's can go a long way in pulling people out of the dumps.

Maybe the weekend. I have a few shifts that I won't have to cover, so I'll have some time.

[To Daria, a few hundred people isn't even quite the population of what she considers a very small town. On the other hand, most of them keep in constant communication here with the journals. Maybe that makes a difference.]

It has a varied population. [Or maybe that's the difference. Lawndale had been so very homogeneous.]

[If that is the case, then he owes that horse more than he'd ever thought. He has always owed Belle, but to be indebted to an animal? In Luceti it doesn't seem quite as strange.]

Is... is there any way he can be brought here?

My family was never that fond of the idea of pets, I'm afraid. They thought they were too messy to want to allow any in the house, even if the servants would be the ones who took care of them.

Yeah! Besides, he's part of your family so just treat him like one.

Like this Philippe you mentioned, I assume? He sounds like a wonderful horse-- what is he like?

In that case, I'll see you then.

[The mention of Rapunzel assures him of a solution... but then as soon as the word "Malnosso" comes out his face slowly changes to a far more serious expression. It is clear how hardened his reaction is to this suggestion, and his tone when he speaks reflects this.]

Who from the Malnosso?
