Who: Belle (cameo) and Open!
Where: Random corridor on the station, nowhere dangerous.
What: Arrival.
Warnings: None.

Belle couldn't put the book she was reading down. The king and his loyal servant reminded her so much of Adam and Lumière. And the evil one siding with the villain - only to have a change of heart at the end? That had so many parallels to LeFou. She picked up the book and carried it with her as she walked down the corridor, noting several passages of text that she wanted to show Adam.

As she made her way through the castle, she noticed the light getting brighter, more than the candles should allow. Her footsteps sounded as if she was stepping on metal, rather than carpet. She slowly looked up from the book and stared wide eyed at the place she found herself in, wondering if the book she'd been reading was magic or if there was a new curse.

She heard someone nearby and called out. "Bonjour! Qui est là?"

"I knew a little boy, Chip, who didn't age for years." Belle commented. "There was an entire castle full of people cursed with him and his mother. I can't imagine what it would be like for a girl on her own." It was very sad indeed. Strange that she could go her entire life without magic, and then suddenly encounter so much of it. This little girl must be an enchantress too.

She looked at the device and shook her head. It was so tiny for being able to communicate with others. "No, I've never seen anything like that before. The list came up so quickly. You didn't even have to wind it up or ask for it." Not even her father's inventions, or the magic mirror, were so small and powerful. It was very peculiar. She would have had a million questions, if she wasn't so focused on Adam. "Yes, please let's find out."

The more Belle talked, the more it sounded like she would adapt quite well to this place. The technology would be strange to her, but he knew there were at least a couple of people from the 19th Century, so she wouldn't be entirely out of place.

"You can seek her out. I'm sure she would appreciate someone checking on her, seeing how she is," he suggested. He wanted to look out for the little girl, but Belle would be a better confidante for her than he would.

Her reaction to the phone was kind of adorable, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly as he touched Adam's name and made the call. He was giving her a lot of gestures, nodding and giving her a thumbs up as Adam confirmed that he did know her.

"See you soon, Adam," he finished the call, and then gave Belle a broad smile. "Let's go and find your husband, then."
