Belle also sighed. It was hard to understand if he wouldn't explain it. How could she understand him if she didn't know why and how that had happened. If she didn't know why he was a beast during the days and a man during the nights? And the transformation seemed so painful... She stopped her line of thought to pay attention to his words. After he laid back down, Belle shook her head. "I do not hate you, sir. But... I have promised to stay, and I will. But it gets so lonely in here, and... if you will not tell me why you need me, I shall feel useless."<br/><br/>With another sigh, she kept playing with a lock of her hair. "I did not ask out of simple curiosity. Well... maybe partly. But it is just that the transformation seems so horrible..." She turned on the bed and used her elbow for support, her hair falling near to the man's face. "Is it that painful to change both ways, sir?" Her question was asked in a soft and somewhat concerned voice. As she waited for an answer, Belle kept her gaze on the man's eyes, curious about what she might see in them.
