but why is he here

[no_prince_charming]

[ Is he growling? Maybe. Maybe a tiiiiny bit. Old habits die hard, you know. ]

So what you're saying is that I'm trapped? Again. [ Wow dude, you weren't the one imprisoned in a castle. ] I basically was -- oh, forget it.

Regardless, you're saying I can't go home. To Belle. [ Oh great, now he's pouting. ]

Perhaps it would help to know I'm here as well?

[no_prince_charming]

[ Yes! Yes it does!

Considering how much he lights up and stops growling when he sees Belle. ]

Belle! [ He takes her into a hug, because he can! ]

[beautybutfunny]

[She laughs lightly, a sort of twinkling sound, as she hugs him back.]

It's so good to see you. Even if it is in a place like this.

[ex_luminously373]

Come now, Master. Surely amour is not defeated so easily.

[no_prince_charming]

Oh, it's good to see you too, Belle.

[ He smiles brightly at the sound of her wonderful laugh, like he always does. Things just don't seem as horrible whenever she's around him.

Even so, he's still a bit concerned about where they ended up. ] Where are we, anyway? You make it sounds so...foreboding. [ A thought crosses his mind, and he worries instantly. ] Are you hurt? Has anyone attacked you? [ He says in a rush, looking her up and down, possibly growling again protectively. ]

[no_prince_charming]

Lumiere, you're here too! [ He sounds very happy about the fact. Learning to appreciate his servants, he's taken a crash course in.

But he frowns. ] But -- why are you still a candelabra?

[ex_luminously373]

I'm afraid I was not so fortunate.

Please, allow me to say that it is good to see you smiling again. It has been far too long.

[beautybutfunny]

Oh no. I'm not hurt. [She holds a hand to his chest in an attempt to calm him.] It just isn't where I'd like us to be.

[no_prince_charming]

[ He sighs a tad in relief, almost calming himself instantly under her touch. ]

I don't suppose your brilliant mind has found a way to get home since you've been here? [ He might sound like he's joking, but he's not. If there's anyone that can figure out a way out of this, it's Belle. ]

[no_prince_charming]

But...the curse. She broke it.

Thank you, but...this isn't right. You should be back to normal, too.

[beautybutfunny]

[She sighs herself, somewhat resigned.]

I don't think it's anything so simple. As long as they think of us we'll remain here or in one of those games.

[ex_luminously373]

Could it be...? Was it she?

Oui, it seems much has changed in my absents. You were much more... [beastly.] hairy.
