"Your Father was wounded?" That's terrible! "Does Belle know?" He didn't want to go saying anything to her if she didn't know yet.
Out of curiosity...knowing that many of these girls had come to the castle before the invasion to hope to gain his favor, he had to ask. "What are you going to do at the castle now? Are you and Belle going to go home?" Being in Kairi's court had some merit, they could spend time learning and such. Belle was getting older though, and the boys coming into the castle were going to be younger than her, not older. It could be problematic for her if she didn't find a husband soon.
"Did Belle write you a lot?" Sora asked. "Did she ever mention a Conrad Weller?" Just asking!
