Belle rolled her eyes. She did not want to talk about her lessons. She was done with her lessons today and the last thin she wanted to talk about was her studies.
Yet, he had asked... "Reading, writing, and arithmetic." She answered courtly. There was also lessons on ruling the kingdom but that was it. The question about books was much more interesting for her.
"I like to read anything. I have read all of my fathers books that he allows me to have. There is also a small book shop in town that has many interesting fantasy books."
She paused to take a break and looked up at him. "Do you like to read?" She asked now. "What do you do? Are you from another kingdom?" She had not seen him in town.

He heard her answer even if it was clear she was not really happy about speaking of it of course when it came to books it was a different tone & he smirked to her "It is always good to read for one can learn much & yes I like to read" He was silent when she asked what he did he was not sure how to answer it, yet he figured he could answer to some degree "I make deals with people that are in need & yes I am form another kingdom" He did not think that many would want him in their kingdom. He watched her "So what is your favorite when it comes to books any favorite story or kind of book like history or that?"

"I like fantasy books." Belle reply after had worked a little further. "Books where the people are in far away or mythical places. Princess and Princesses. Magic and adventures." She had been thinking about what he had said about Deals.
Belle did not understand what kind of work that was and so she asked "What do you mean you make deals? Like if people want horses you can make a deal and they can get one?" Belle was thinking of things children would want. Horses, clothes, play things. Her father owned many horses but Belle owned the animals and always wanted more.
She had no way of knowing the type of deals he was referring to. It would be years into the future before she saw first hand how his deals went.

"That is always good to enjoy a fantasy book" He watched her as they walked with her words her question he spoke "It is a bit more than that, I make deals with someone that wants something such as to forget someone they love or something like a child when one cannot have them or that, but with each deal I must get something as well for all magic comes with a price" He was not sure she would really know what all he said yet it was as much as he could give with out giving likely facts that would scare her & all that. With that he waited to see what she would say or if she would reacted to his words on her getting just the kind of beast he was, one that was a dark one of the darkest of all kinds & not one that should not be hung around with.

Belle would remember what he told her. All magic comes with a price. Belle did not have a lot of experience with magic but that struck home for some reason. Again she watched him silently.
She was trying to place him as good or bad. Belle found herself liking the man though something inside of her told her that he could be dangerous. But then again, all adults could be dangerous if you thought about it. They were heading back for the castle now.

Rumpel followed her saying nothing yet as he followed her he felt & could tell they where getting closer to the castle, it was not a place he wished to be not that anyone could stop him, just he knew he would be more spotted & who knows what would be said. Of course he could figure how Belles father would feel if they saw him with his daughter & he thought well to speak on it "So my dear where are you leading to?" He was interested to see what she would say not sure she would be honest yet he was sure she would be with as young as she was "How did your father take it when you told him of are meeting?" He just thought that they had spoken to her father telling him of their meeting, he did not think that she would not of spoken to her father on the matter that happened or meeting a beast of a man.

Belle shrugged. She had nothing to hide. "I am heading back towards the castle." She admitted freely. "I thought it would be better to stay close to home." It was true. She was not trying to be deceitful.
She had just done a large half circle. When he asked about he talking to her father Belle shook her head. "I didn't tell him." She replied. "My father would have been angry with the servant and with me for getting in danger."
"More danger than now?" Came a voice from beside them. Belle jumped a little and turned to find her father standing in the woods to her right. "Father." She said softly. He looked angry.

Rumpel heard her words "I will have to take my leave of you soon than & yes I suppose you are right to staying close to home" Of course he looked at her as they walked "You would do well to not hid anything that would make your father get upset once he does learn of it" He was sure her father would, for even as a low live & father he learned things, even if he did not like them or agree with them when it came to his son as well as other children. Yet with the new voice was instantly on guard as his head snapped up to face the one that spoke he saw it was Bells father & he could only think of what the man though & his right hand came up a bit, as if ready to defended himself form an attack. He said nothing as he waited for what was to come, not fully knowing what it would be.

Belle was watching her father so she did not see the look that had come over Rumpelstiltskin. "Father...what danger? We were just walking. He was here in the woods when I stopped to pick flowers. She motioned to the flowers on her head. Her father said nothing at first just watched the two before him.
When he did speak, his voice was tight. "Come here, Belle." He ordered. Belle looked up at Rumpelstiltskin questioningly and then stepped towards her father. When she was close enough he took her by the arm and pushed her behind him. Belle stood there unsure what to do.
"What are you doing here in my kingdom, Dark One?" Her father asked. Belle frowned. Why was he calling Rumpelstiltskin Dark One?" She didn't understand. "What are you doing with my daughter?" He continued. "She is royalty. You are not fit to speak to her."

He heard Belles words, as he heard her fathers words only to watch as Belle moved over to her father he did not miss his stance she was taken. "Since when do I need a reason to be here or your permission for that matter" His words came out as a challenge to the man to show he did not care about the man or his words. Of course it was his last words that where a bur under his saddle "Not fit, you have no rule over me on what I can do or not do" He giggled now thinking he could give a jab for a jab "I see that that royal rank has gone to your ego or what their I of one" His eyes locked with the man "Tell me your majesty, do you speak to your people in such a way for I can see you becoming nothing" He giggled again as he looked at the king, ready for a fight ready to take anything or any number of people on.

Belle stood there listening and suddenly feeling very small. She had seen her father speak like this to people. He put himself above others thinking that his money made him better. He always made Belle out to be better as well but she did not agree. Belle wanted nothing really to be treated like everyone else. She liked when she went to town that people spoke to her by name when they saw her and stopped to speak with her.
What she did not like was what was happening here. She did not like the way the men were talking to each other. Rumpelstiltskin had taken on a persona that was cold and belittling. She understood of course. Her father had brought this on but still. Belle was disturbed by it.
Her father did not back down though. "Don't talk to my daughter. Don't touch her. Leave this Kingdom." Belle spoke up now. "I like talking to him." She said now but her father's look silenced her.

Rumpel heard his words he giggled with them "No, you are not above me, why should I leave or do anything you say, I am not one of your subjects" His voice became even closer as he spoke on "You would do well to remember that & just who I am that you are speaking to in such a manor I have little issue with seeing that trouble fallow you or your kingdom" Rumpel was looking for a fight now he relished such things, more because he knew none could stop him & also that after where he came form dealing with a royal it was more enjoyable for he at one point was nothing to them, meant nothing to them & his life was nothing to them so he felt more anger at the man now.

Belle knew nothing she said was going to change the situation. She stood there listening, hearing more than she should. She did know what the other man meant by remember "who I am". Who was he? What was happening here? Belle was confused. She was starting to look at the man with new eyes. "Who are you?" Belle asked now though now her words meant more than they had yesterday. "Why don't you tell her who you are." Her father asked Rumpelstiltskin coldly.

He heard Belle's words yet as much as they hurt more because he could see in her eyes the change it was her father words that hit harder his eyes narrowed at the man "I have killed men for less & your lucky your daughter is her or I would find even more reason to acted" His tone was even colder than the kings a clear warning of who held all the cards. Of course his word took a twist in his mind as he used his magic & with out much movement he threw the king away from Belle yet without really harming him, more a show of power. His eyes darkened at the man "Of course their are worse things than death" He smirked, almost forgetting Belle was their yet out of the corner of his eye he caught a hint of her, enough to get him to look at her a moment of a seconded & that was all it took to help rein in his anger enough not to harm the king, so long as he did not do anything rash.
It was because he did not wish to leave a child father less or without a parent if he could in some part of his dark twisted heart that was black, of course if a deal gave him a child the ways of thinking changed. Yet seeing Belle's questioning eyes he answered here "Rumpelstiltskin" He bowed as he could not hold back a giggle, he was feeling the pull of a challenge of a fight with likely Belles father & he did not fear the man no he welcomed the challenged to help ease the heat in his blood, that was still their.
