Belle nodded when the beast said he was fine. She would have reached out and touched him, if she wasn't so scared. With a deep breath, she stood up where she was, just looking at him. When he said she could go back to sleep, she nodded again. "Thank you, sir. I will", she agreed. She could really use some more sleep after that restless night.<br/><br/>Sitting on the bed, the girl watched as the beast left the room. Only then she finally laid back down. This time, Belle fell asleep in no time and slept like a baby, unaware of the world outside the room. She was tired, after all, after the nightmares and not being able to move freely.<br/><br/>The rumors of voices right outside her bedroom door disturbed the girl just a little, not enough to actually wake her up. As the voices moved further or she fell into a deeper sleep, Belle lost track of the conversation and finally had her usual peaceful sleep, filled with pleasant dreams. As she woke up, the girl would ask for Jaques, as she had been instructed to. She asked for a meal and warm water for a bath, feeling that she was asking for too much even with those modest requests. After warming herself in the water and getting dressed, Belle finally risked going downstairs. She looked around, fascinated, and decided to walk around upstairs, satisfying her curiosity. The one room that caught her eye was, naturally, the library.<br/><br/>After checking it, she went for Jaques one more time. "Jaques. I... I'm sorry to ask for so much, but... would it be possible for a fire to be lit in the library? If your Master has no objections, of course. And if I could have something to work on... to sew, or embroider... I... I would be very happy. But please, ask your master first, will you? It is his house, after all."
