Belle sat there watching him as he took in what she had done. When she had first come here, Bell had been nothing more than a pet. She had been locked and he had had little contact with her. But that had changed. Belle was a social creature. She needed to be in contact with other people. Even though she knew that she was his slave, Belle was growing attracted to him.
This was why what had happened last night had affected her so badly. She had not known what she had done wrong. All she had done was look at the dagger. He had acted as if she held his life in her hands. It had been as if had threatened him with it. So Belle had stayed away from him. But she had missed him. And that bothered her. Belle knew she was beginning to like him too much.
At his question, Belle closed the book and with her free hand, placed it on the table. "And what did you find, to pass your time other then a good book?" He had asked him. "You cleaned up after yourself." She told him. "So there was not much for me to do." She shrugged. "So I cleaned what I could and therefore, explored a bit." Belle bit her lower lip as she watched his face. She supposed she could have found more to do but he had said she could have time to adjust.

Rumpelstiltskin heard the sound of the book close besides saw it, as she then set it on he table listening to her words he did not confirm or denied that he had cleaned after him self. "I see,, well any time you need more to clean, let me know... with a flick of my hand, I can always make more" He smirked before he spoke again "Yes, of course you explored.... have yet yo know or see, books walk on there own, even in this castle darie" He gave a light giggle before he spoke on "Unless... you want.. to say... they just...convince those.. that come by... to pick them up... giving them in... a since legs?"

Belle smiled at the comment about him being able to make more mes for her. She knew that he was at least partly joking. However, was not quite sure what exactly he was talking about when he spoke again. "Yes, of course you explored...." He told her. "have yet yo know or see, books walk on there own, even in this castle dearie. Unless... you want.. to say... they just...convince those.. that come by... to pick them up... giving them in... a since legs?" She tilted her head slightly but said nothing. However her confusion was written all over her face. "What do you mean?" Belle finally asked. Books didn't walk..

Rumple saw the flicker of a smile, at her words though he looked at her "Just saying that it clear, you explored besides you saying it the book, you were reading from, also tales of it. Not that there was any harm, did you find anything else interesting as your explored around today?" He though to be as simple as he could, after all why make it any harder though, he still enjoyed his words before hand even if Belle did not get it at the moment. He waited for her to speak, not sure what she would say to his words.

Belle listened to him silently and then nodded. "I did see some pictures that interested me. And I was going through some of the rooms. I did not touch anything though." She looked away as she said the last part. "I tidied a bit and looked through some of your books. I was going to go outside but decided against it. "I also found some children's clothes." Belle met her eyes now. "Do you have a child?" She question was not meant to anger him. She was just curious.

Rumpelstiltskin, heard her words he was glade she found some pictures that interested her "I did not say you did" Was his answer to her saying she did not touch anything, he nodded lightly as she spoke of tidied for it was good she was keeping herself busy, "I hope you found a book or two to your liking, as for going out side you are welcome to as I said before" Though it was her last two words made him still & quite, he did not speak for some time before he spoke again though the words where simple "I did" Though he said not more, how ever it did not mean he had forgotten, what happened to his son.

"I did" He told her when she asked about a child and Belle was silent hoping he would tell her more but he did not. Belle withheld a sigh and then after a moment, probed deeper. She did not want to upset him but she did really want to get to know him. "Where is your child?" Belle asked. "How old?" She could see that talking about this was difficult for him. The hand that was on the back of the chair now came to the back of his neck and Belle massaged gently. If he really did not want to talk about it, She would not push the subject. She only hoped the child had not died. It would be tragic.

He should of known his simple answer, would not be enough though he should of already taken note that Belle was one that always had questions. Though her questions where simple, it still did not help the sting he found with the questions "I do not know, he was taken from me" Well he sort of knew, it was he just did not have the power to get to him, so it was the simplest answer. "At this time he would be, about 30" As he spoke this his fingers, moved together as his first two tapped together. He felt her hand on the back of his neck, at first he stiffened though as she started to message he started to relax, though he was still a bit on edge because of the topic.

"I do not know, he was taken from me. At this time he would be, about 30" Belle was silent for a long time. Her hand continued to move. She could not think of anything to say to that. What a horrible situation to have your child taken away. She did not think that she could continue on if she had a child and that happened to her. She shook her head. "I'm sorry for you pain." She finally told him softly. The child was older now...a man. One would think he would return to his father if he was able. If only to visit. "So.." She said now trying to make him smile. "Would you like to walk with me outside? I could use some time in the sun."

He had felt him self stiffen, at the subjected even with Belles hand messaging him, he still knew he was tense because of it, he did not speak much about the topic of his son, though it did not mean he some how hoped he would find his way back, though he did not know if it would happen. With her question to go out side, it took a bit for her words to sink in, to rouse him form his thoughts & pain, he had not missed her words of being sorry at his lose, it was just he said nothing on it. "Yes... it would be good.. to get some air" It had felt a bit stuffy now, almost confining, perhaps with being out side would help to clear his head & help ease his pain once more.

"Yes... it would be good.. to get some air" He told her and Belle stood slowly. Once he was up as well, Belle lead the way out the front door. She was thinking as she walked. Belle had not meant to upset him. But she knew that she had. This bothered her. When they were outside, Belle turned to him and smiled up at the man. She would not bring it up anymore at least for the time being.
Belle stepped up to his side and she looped her arm through his. With her other hand, she motioned for him to lead the way. The land was expansive and actually quite beautiful at least to a nature lover. She walked with him at his pace just taking everything in and breathing the fresh air deeply. "Tell me what you like..." She requested. She was looking for a conversation and something to take away the harshness of earlier.

He fallowed Belle out side the castle to the grounds, he saw her turn & smile to him & some how it was hard to not feel something & the easing of the pain he felt. As she steeped to his side, he looked at her watching her & feeling her loop her arm threw his, at her motion with her other hand, he walked with her around the grounds he spoke of different things, that where there to keep a conversation going between them. It was only after some time of this did he think to speak more directly to her "Are you happy here Belle?" Perhaps there talk had only reminded him, the pain of losing a child & he knew that Belles father likely felt something of the same pain.

His question was a simple one but it brought Belle to a stop. She stood there silently as her mind came to a screeching halt. Was she happy? She could not answer right away. Slowly, her head turned and she looked up at him. Belle swallowed hard. It was not that she was afraid. She just did not know the answer. Or more so how to answer. "I miss my father." Belle said finally beginning to speak. "But I agreed to come here... I was not happy at first. You kept me locked away... But I am becoming happy. I like to be near you. I wish I knew you better..." In reality it was more than her beginning to like him. But she would never confess that. There was no question in her mind that he would use it against her.

He stopped as Belle, did he listened to her words her answer to his was as he though, though with the rest he was sure they where true it was just, he felt more like one that caged a bird, that never should have been caged. He looked forward, before he spoke, trying to not say his words so directed though, saying what he needed, even with knowing how empty he would fill if she left, yet he knew still it was the right thing & he did not have to break his deal with her, if he released her form it. "It only makes since for you to miss your father, along with everything else to some degree" It was now he looked at Belle "I have noticed that, I am low on straw I need you to go to town to fetch some"
(We do not have it where she runs into the Queen yet, something else could happen or what ever)

"I have noticed that, I am low on straw I need you to go to town to fetch some" He told her. Belle was not sure she had heard him correctly. She glanced up at his with surprise on her face. Was he serious? Surly he could not be this foolish. "You trust me to come back?" She asked stunned. How could he trust her with this? He was giving her the opportunity to run. To flee and go home. But then again, there was the question of would she return? She liked this man. She enjoyed his company. But she did miss her father and friends and her castle.
