After spending the last week or so fighting with everyone--or so it felt--besides Rum, Belle was grateful for the chance to spend some time in peace with someone, even if he was a stranger. Because even if she spent much of her time with her nose buried in books, Belle did like people. Just because she didn't really enjoy parties didn't mean she didn't like conversation and company. And while Rum's stories and attention were delightful, there were moments when she needed more than her lover. She was certain others--like Cinderella and Thomas--might think she built her whole life around him, at the exclusion and without any thought to others. But that wasn't true, not at all, and the way they'd spoken to her, along with the Queen's threats, had made her ache for some companionship that wasn't nearly so...complicated.
And when Percy had spoken of long stories, and charming the creatures outside--well, that made it nearly impossible for Belle to refuse. Despite her run in with the Queen a few days before, she wasn't about to let the observation cars turn into the things from her nightmares, and what Percy claimed to offer seemed like it might go a long way towards keeping that from happening. As she always did when she left, she put a note on Rum's side of the bed so he wouldn't worry, before wandering to the observation car.
