Rarely does one make its way to my castle and I don't venture outside.
[The Beast has gotten better with how he treats his servants over the years but they are still not so much friends as fellow victims of the enchantress's spell.]
No, they weren't callous. They just happened to be there at the time. I guess they may have also been punished for allowing me to become the way I was.
I never really learned to read. I mean, I can read - a little but not enough to make use of my library. But, Belle - she can read! [Why he has never thought of this before is a small wonder.] Maybe if she helps me we can look.
[okay, well, trespassing is in his opinion a pretty serious crime. Just not serious enough to warrant imprisonment. Just think if he'd tried to pull those shenanigans with Elisa when first they'd met.]
If you harbor any hopes of winning this woman's love, you must release her immediately.
I think I played opposite you for a short while at Academy - played Bernard there

Mine wants me to respond that she's happy - very happy to hear that.

One of your servants?

[Why, no, he doesn't want to come right out and say that Belle is technically his prisoner.]
no subject
A castle is meant to offer sanctuary. How did she come to seek shelter with you?
no subject
She - well - that's not exactly why she's here.

I love your Goliath so much - did you ever play him in an RPG on LJ?
She - she traded herself for her father who was my prisoner after I caught him trespassing.
I've got him in Trans_9 here and on LJ, and I used to play him over at disney_academy. Thanks!

She's my prisoner.
[Pause]
I mean - well, she's - she's - nice to me. I don't know.
