Belle.

Never allow yourself to believe there is only one kind of love, for that must be quite the lonely life. {RP MV}

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose -- modest one-piece that goes down to right below the knee and right above the elbow, along with.. well, another thin dress over it. So she's quite comfortable in it.

"Oops~. Did I ~splash you, darling?"

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

The only occurence that could possibly make her morning better would be if she happened upon her beloved.~

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose Belle slips out of her flowy, loose dress and oh-so-gracefully steps into the water..followed by her not-so-gracefully splashing water toward Adam with a grin.

Her bathingsuit is.. more revealing than she used to being out in the open, but not in a scandalous way. It's a --

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose - him. Belle had been watching the birds bathe in the fountain across from them. But when she spots the basket that is spilling over with quite a bit of food, she laughs!

"Oh my! Is Lumiere responsible for this generous helping of food? He must be!"

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose She sat on the edge of one of the fountains, a thin, flowy dress covering her for the time being. She'd taken the time to unpin her hair so that it falls over her shoulders and flows when the occasional breeze comes around.

When she hears Adam approaching, her head turns toward-

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose -- I prefer the fountains." A quick kiss to his chin and Belle steps away, plucking up the book Adam had been reading.

"Perhaps we can have a picnic afterwards. The vineyards are spilling with grapes."

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose No, she didn't mind at all. Getting a bit of water on her is quite low on her list of troublesome things she has experienced.

Reaching up, she presses a chaste kiss to Adam's lips, a hand on his arm. "I would ~love to go swimming. As.. refreshing as an ice bath sounds, I think -

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose -- "Even if I did find you without clothes and chilled in a library bath," she laughs, teasing him.

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose The corners of her mouth tug up into a slight smile and she shakes her head, shooing away the icy droplets that happen to fall on her.

"Is it such an impossible idea that I simply wished to see you?" Belle rises to her feet, hands smoothing down the fabric of her dress. --

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose -- She hadn't expected it to be /quite/ so chilly.

She laughs at his jest, shaking her head. "I have several reasons to be in a good mood but the biggest reason is right before my eyes."

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose "You know, darling, with as much time as you had to spend in the harsh biting winter, I would have thought you'd have a higher appreciation for the ~heat." She sits on the floor beside Adam, goosebumps trickling up her arms when she settles them on the edge of the tin tub. --

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose -- "Oh, if only I had a ~Prince to join me in this dance. Truly, it is a shame," she sighs out, the faintest of grins tugging at her lips as she casts a glance towards Adam.

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose Perfect.~ It's the first of many stops she plans to make today, though this one may be the most important.

She seemingly floats across the library, the quiet rustling of her dress and the soft melody she's humming being the only sounds that announce her presence. --

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

Good morning!

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

Why, what's this?

Belle has awakened in such a wonderful mood!

So wonderful that, anyone and everyone she passes, she takes by the hand and does a lovely little waltz before continuing on with her morning.

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose "I was planning to, just after this cup of tea. I had heard you were working on the rose gardens, as well?" She didn't see any need to cause any unnecessary worry over something that may be nothing.

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

Hmm.. The light-headedness went away after a cup of tea but today it seems to have returned. Perhaps it's the changes in weather.

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

@CursedByARose Oh, but she'd recognise that gait anywhere. Her face instantly lights up, eyes bright and smile warm. "Mon couer."

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

After insisting it was nothing, to no avail, he helps her to the foyer, bustling off to fetch her some tea. Belle takes a deep breath in, in attempt to steady her head. What has gotten into her?..

[Belle. @ProvinceDeviant]

Traipsing down the many flights of stairs to make her way to the garden, a sudden wave of light-headedness overwhelms her and she stumbles. Were it not for Vincent, a dear servant, passing by, she might have tumbled down the stairs.
