When Eddie spoke, Beauty shook her head, on the cusp of objecting to him. But then Bruce was explaining... She looked again at the armored creature, then back at Bruce again. "So I'm as safe as I can be, with you and it here," she said.
This truth calmed her to the point where her words wouldn't come so acidic or hard. She took a breath and looked Edward over -- really looked at him. Doctor Crane had been suffering his loss, and Beauty had given her word...
"Doctor Crane is beside himself," she said, hating that she was saying it at all, "At your loss. But you and I are nothing like each other."
She took a step forward, closer to Bruce and closer to Edward. "Why did you do it? Why did you take me, and why did you hurt me? I've done nothing to you or to him, nothing at all. You may have given him reason, but I was innocent."
