"Oh? hello there, I was about to go talk to you...but I don't think you want to hear what I have to ask of you...have you eaten anything?"he asked drinking some water from his glass. Eofe waved at her then quickly ran with Jeane back to the ballroom to finish up their cleaning.

She was surprised by this what would he ask of her that she wouldn't like? " yes I have eaten M'Lord I awoke early and got started on my work" She said lightly " what is it that you need of me?" she asked him

"We must go to the parlour for this..."he said getting up and leaving to the parlour.
All the servants looked at her as if she was in trouble.

She gulped and fallowed him out of the dinning room, she was worried what had she done to anger him?

"Please, sit down....no need to be scared. Are you having fun in this castle?"he asked.
"I wanted to ask you what you do for fun..."he added. His voice held it's charm.

She calmed down immediately, he's just trying to get to know me better She smiled at him " thank you M'lord" she said as she took a seat she thought for a while and decided not to tell him the things she used to do when her family had been wealthy " well I enjoy to read, and taking walks" She said lightly wondering what had brought this on.

"I see, I don't know what to do anymore Belle, there is nothing fun in this castle...I read and play the piano but that's not enough to make me happy...what do you think I should do?"
"Oh! and what else do you like and dislike?"he added curiously.
He wanted to get to know her a bit more than the other servants.

She thought for a moment " It seems like you are in need of a companion M'lord" She suggested to him " and perhaps if you went outdoors every once in a while you wouldn't get so depressed" She though some more trying to give him some answers " other then that Gardening is always enjoyable" she really was trying to suggest things he may like

The beast smirked at belle.
"You amuse me Belle...I'll go for walks outside, I hope that helps..."he said looking at her.

She smiled back happy she could please " I'm glade then" She said as she rose thinking that was all he wished " Is there anything i might get for you?" She asked him

"You can get me some water thank-you...that will be all..."he said bowing his head slightly and smirking.
I guess i go outside now and what then? he wondered to himself.

She nodded her head " I shall be back in a moment M'lord" She said curtsying before she exited. she went down to the kitchens and came back up with his water in a matter of seconds.

"Thank-you Belle...I think I'll go outside now...I hope it's fun..."he sighed.
"Thank-you again..."he said bowing and leaving outside to the backyard.
He drank his water and lay down under a tree and looked at the clouds.
"They move?! I never noticed that!"he said to himself.

Belle simply left him be if he wanted company he would have asked her to go out with him. she left and headed off towards the ball room to help efore(sp?) needed any help.

He lay there...if Belle wanted to keep him company he didn't mind...but she didn't follow him, which didn't surprise him at all.
"Well, what now....I hope they're still working...they better!"he said closing his eyes trying to relax. as he relaxed a leaf fell upon his nose, which he picked up and examined it then without letting go, he examined his surroundings. He noticed the puddle in which Belle had fallen into, he also saw some cherry blossom trees and flowers.
"Hmph...very serene."he said he spotted a yellow rose and plucked it. He then went to Belle's door and opened it then placed the rose on her vanity dresser and repidly left back under the tree hoping no one noticed.
Eofe noticed that Belle had entered the room.
"Hello dear!, are you here to help us...how kind of you! If you could help Jeane mop up, that would be wonderful wouldn't it Jeane?" asked Eofe.
Jeane nodded with a smile.

Belle smiled at the two women " of coarse I have come to help" She said as she picked up another mop and bucket, she started at the opposite end of the room she'd work her way over to where Jean and Eofe worked.

Jeane smiled at Belle and wrote her a message.
Thank-you Belle. Eofe kept cleaning the surrounding objects.

Belle smiled back " your welcome" She said kindly then went back to work. a few hours later when they were done belle returned to her room to clean her self up before dinner. she smiled as she saw the yellow rose, she guessed who it came from and fetched a vase she placed it on the night table beside her bed.

The girls finished up and went to the parlor to clean it as they were told. The beast woke up after resting under the tree and stood up quickly.
"Time to play the piano..."he said hoping everything was still in order.

which it still was, after belle finished cleaning all of the grim off of her she came back down and helped out in the kitchens,

The beast noticed that Eofe and Jeane were still cleaning the parlor so he sighed and went to check the kitchen.
"At least they are still working.."he muttered.

Belle noticed the beast peeking in at them and smiled at him. she set down the knife she had been using and walked over to him she swept him a curtsy before she came back up and kissed him lightly on the cheek " Thank you for the rose M'lord" She said before truning to go back to work.

He looked at belle and noticed she had spotted him. He smirked back at her as she walked over to him and curtsied. He bowed and looked surprised as she kissed his cheek and returned to work.
"You're welcome..."he whispered surprised she knew it was him.

Belle picked the knife back up and began to chop, it wasn't hard to figure it out he was the only male in the castle. the only one to be giving her a rose would be him.

"What now..."he said to himself watching Belle work.
He began making a mental list of things to do but for some reason he went back outside.
Jeane walked to Belle and handed her a paper saying He was watching you the whole time before he left! she smiled and began cleaning the dining table waiting for a response.
