9 ❂ Video

I am looking for a dog, or else a pup. Unwanted or unclaimed, though it should go without saying.

Some have expressed concern for their animals in this heat. Provide them with water and they ought not to grow dangerously hot. If they do, wet a cloth with lukewarm water and rub their skin.

Oh!

[ Her eyes widen and she simply brightens. It's been some time since she was able to see anything so beautiful and - well, natural. Being cursed and stuck in a modern world can do that to someone. ]

And - do you take care of some of these animals? The fawn, it's beautiful.

Some. [The birds mostly take care of themselves, until it comes time for the jump.] And he thanks you. His name is Ethuil.

Ethuil, hello. [ She smiles, softly; talking to animals is hardly strange to a girl from a world of magic. ] It's very nice to meet you. My name is Belle.

[ But, on a more serious note - ]

What happens when people are put in those strange machines?

Whichever machines you speak of, I am by no means knowledgeable. Ours is a primitive folk by choice.

I come from a world without them too, at least originally. They're what we go into when we're in the 'jump'? Are the animals safe when we're asleep, do you think?

The animals must be put into those machines as well, or else face the same consequences we would. No doubt you will see upon the next jump how many are leading animals into the pods.

That's good, I wouldn't want them to get hurt somehow. [ She smiles, still. ] Have you managed to find a dog yet?

Nay, lady, but there is time.

[ My lady - it's been a long time since someone called her that. ]

Belle - that's my name. It's very nice to meet you. [ A pause, then she leans closer. ] Is it a gift?

[Nah, just "lady." She's not his lady. He only has one lady, and he's married to her.]

Thranduil is mine. It is only a gift if I can find one.

Then I will do whatever I can to help you find one, Thranduil. I'm not very familiar with the ship but once Rumple wakes up I'm certain he'll help me.

You are very kind, Belle. In my tongue your name would be Nelleth.

[Which means "bell," not "beauty." What is a silent E, anyway?]

It suits you well.
