Belladonna listened to Torvi speak and waited patiently for her questions to finish. Once they had, she replied smoothly and without missing a beat. It was a convincing enough lie, though it remained partially true. [color=skyblue][b]"I don't know if the perpetrators have been caught yet. I guess we'll see in a few days,"[/b][/color] Belle didn't glance at Elle as she spoke, not wanting to raise suspicion. [color=skyblue][b]"If they are caught, may there be Mercy on their soul."[/b][/color] Belle replied smoothly and forced herself to appear empathetic towards the rebels. Her curiosity was gnawing at her - was this woman human as well? Her thoughts ended though as the fairy began to speak. Belle's curiosity began to simmer into amusement. 

She started to chuckle as he spoke and downed the rest of her glass. She folded her hands neatly on the table as he continue his tirade while watching him. How his snark and humor reminded her of her younger self. She would have to tap into that side. Like a snake, she was trying to shed that skin, but it would prove useful. The urge to not ask if he had another peach was beginning to eat away at her. She was dying to eat something soon. Elleta stood up and patted her shoulder to order food so Belle wouldn't have to stumble over it and possibly reveal herself.

While she understood, Bella hadn't wanted to give out their names until she felt they could establish a connection or become allies. Belle chuckled when he asked if anyone had died. She knew Morgayne and Regulus had put their necks on the line but were able to take care of themselves. Her concern was palpable; yet she knew she had to avoid them for the time being. Baraian, Kuroi and Ilan had also escaped though she didn't know where they had gone. Finally, when Bowyn finished spouting off and introducing his bird, Bella set the glass down and turned to face him. She nodded kindly to the bird - Boreas, after Bowyn introduced himself. She was quite curious to learn more regarding him, but she would have to hold back for now. How she envied that bird - its life must have been so simple. 

He chewed obnoxiously, much like a child; with hopes they'd be disgusted and leave. Belle appeared unfazed and rather bored with the conversation. She was used to rude and obnoxious people, but she despised them. She had to set her hands in her lap in order to dig her nails into them as not to snatch the peach out of his hand and toss it away. What a waste of a perfect peach. As she studied him, she could see a noticeable difference between forest fairies and winter ones. She wasn't quite sure if he was, though his attitude fit a winter fairy. Either way, she'd play on that. She then let out a deep sigh and addressed him further. She didn't see a peach on the menu and wondered if he had bought or stolen it.

[color=skyblue][b]"Well Bowyn, or should I say Frosty?"[/b][/color] She guessed he wouldn't understand the reference, but maybe she would be surprised. [color=skyblue][b]"And no, nobody has died yet as far as I know, though the day is still young. Maybe we should head to the graveyard and begin digging their graves and beat them to it?"[/b][/color] Belle took a deep breath and remained calm - almost too calm. Her poker face had been one of her best asset while being in the gang and appearing innocent in school.

[color=skyblue][b]"I appreciate you saving me the time and energy of asking your name. Although, it is not as if you bothered to ask either; so much for mannerism for us both, huh? It's interesting, because you could have instead asked why we sat down here. It would have been nice for us to get off to a better start."[/b][/color] Belle paused long enough to refill her glass and drink another round of mead, then continued. 

[color=skyblue][b]"And, by the way, you remind me of a child with your antics. I sure do hope you have some maturity in you, Bowyn. This looming war with humans arriving is going to affect us all in some way or another. Your behavior doesn't faze me enough to leave; I am quite entertained by it, to be honest."[/b][/color] 

Belle paused for a moment and glanced at Torvi kindly, then back to Bowyn. She didn't want to bite too hard but she wasn't going to back down as well. She did not want to appear as if she couldn't handle herself. Belle then sweetened her expression and tone, though it remained low. 

[color=skyblue][b]"Do you think you can tone it down yet, so we can have a more civil conversation? It would be much simpler than bickering, I don't quite care for it. Simply put, I am here to make friends."[/b][/color] Belle then glanced over upon finishing to find Elleta bringing a plate of food. Belle stared at it, baffled, then began to nibble on a few of the native berries. She wrinkled her nose at first, then began to asses which ones were sour. Once she discovered it, she began to chew on those. While she began picking at the food, she began to embrace her old nickname and self. As hard as it was to bite her tongue and not snap back, she rather enjoyed the old comfort of her previous life and persona.

[color=skyblue][b]"By the way, you can call me Little Blue."[/b]
