006 | Action/Voice
[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.

Good job, Wig! I'm glad we found it before it was too late. [Okay let him just slide off of his big friend.] We've never seen horses before, not ones without fire on them anyway, so we were kind of curious. Um, I'm Diamond, and this is Wig. He's a creature from my world called a Pokémon.
[Just to get over that quick.]
action
Hello. I'm Belle. The horses are right inside there. [She points to the stable building behind her.]
I'm not sure your friend would fit inside. I could bring one of the horses out, however.

She brings out a light brown coated mare who seems quite pleased to be outside. In her free hand she carries an apple.]
action
Diamond thinks he prefers horses.]
He... She? How do you tell? [He wants to pet her, too, but he's not sure if he can. But he'll hold out his palm the mare.] You're a very pretty horse.
action
You can pet her if you like. She's very sweet.
action
Thank you, I'd love to pet her. [What a pretty girl...! He'll pet her, ahh, it's just like with Missy's Rapidash but it's not as hot. There's a different kind of heat to it. Hee.] The only horses I'm familiar with back home are called Ponyta and their evolved form Rapidash. They have a lot of fire to them and they even feel it when you touch them! I've never seen one with the same color as your friend here.
