Lyra - Summer Land Forest

Lyra was quiet for a few moments while the two grownup females talked. The Tree Lafy said something that worried her.
"Are bad things happening?" she asked fearfully. "Is Ba-Ba okay?"

Anyone could tell the Summer King was fond of his pet, but she loved him with all of her little heart. If anything ever happened to him she would be inconsolable.
With her fears getting worse the child started to weep. "Where is Ba-Ba? I want him now. Please now?"

Jessalyn - Winter Land Forest

And the person, who was turning out to be a proper bitch, continued her assault. Oh she changed her words, but they were dripping with sarcasm and condescension.

But, to her shock, in an instant everything changed. Could her attitude change that much that quickly? Moments before she spoke of Jessalyn dying like it was nothing to her and now she was claiming wanting to protect her? And what exactly did she get out of this?
"Why do you care about my life suddenly?" she asked, genuinely curious as to the sudden change. Still wary, she tried to look in the direction of the woman's voice and hoped she was at least somewhat looking at her face.
"Alright. I leave this to your honor to carry out. I will listen and obey you until Bain's master leaves, whoever he is," she added.

She could only hope the woman had some form of honor and would hold to her word of keeping Jessalyn alive.
At her side Lysander growled under his breath and Jessalyn held on to his collar to keep him steady.

I'll post when I get home

The Beastly Curse (we still need people)

Okay Rex is too adorable. I want to cuddle him!!

The Beastly Curse (we still need people)

Belle looked up with a small gasp when Hachi appeared. He sighed and she looked down, embarrassed. "I'm sorry," she murmured. She hadn't given a good impression of her work, not being able to complete her first task. Felix was going to yell at her. And there was no telling Hachi thought of her, but the word 'klutz' and/or 'useless' was probably figuring prominently in his mind.

Rex was a sweetie who made her smile faintly through her tears. She wiped them away and stood with her head still bowed in shame. "I'll do better sir," she promised.

The Beastly Curse (we still need people)

Belle watched Hachi leave with the woman and let out the breath she had been holding. That had been close to something bad.
She bowed to Felix as he ordered her to clean up. Apparently now that she was no longer a guest the pleasantries had ended. She was still going to have a talk with him about how he treated Rex. The little snake didn't deserve such abuse. No one did.

Looking over the ice Belle cocked her head in thought. How to clean this up?
If she waited until it melted there would be water everywhere, which would take longer to clean and cause water damage.
She searched for, and found, a knife to use as a scrapper and set to work scrapping the ice off and putting the chunks into a bucket. Once the bucket was full she tossed the contents outside before resuming. It was a long and painstaking process. Her hands became red from the cold and began to hurt before going numb. But she continued. If she didn't do it well enough and quickly enough Felix might fire her and then there would be no money for her father.

When working at a particularly large piece of ice she pushed to hard with the knife. It suddenly broke through the ice to the other side where she was bracing her hand. She let out a yelp of pain as the knife cut her hand. Kneeling on the floor, she held her throbbing hand in her lap. A long cut ran along the back of her left hand, blood dripping onto her apron. She bit her lip, trying not to cry but feeling her eyes getting misty.

She had to finish. If she didn't... if Felix saw her just sitting here...
A single tear, like a shimmering pearl when it caught the light, slid down her cheek.

Give me time to get home from work and I'll post with Belle starting to scrape it off and Hachi can feel guilty and come remove it.

@Krinos SolsticeI hope you are okay! ;__;

The Beastly Curse (we still need people)

Okay I replied but I know your post said that you had something planned. Hope I didn't get in the way of the plan. I tried to keep my post fairly neutral, just getting Belle to the scene. I can edit if I need to.

The Beastly Curse (we still need people)

Belle crouched down and covered her ears in reaction to the loud roar in her head. Hachi? What had happened?
Her eyes grew large when ice formed on the walls. What was happening?!

"Hachi," she murmured before standing and hurrying towards the coldest point, the source of it all. "Hachi?" she called, this time a little louder and her voice trembling.

Once she saw him fear immediately latched on to her with hands even mire icy than the walls around her. He looked livid.
The only thought that pushed through the fear was that she had to do something...

"Hachi?" Belle called gently but her voice trembled with fear. "Hachi... talk to me..." she pleaded, trying to calm him. She took half a step forward, testing the waters so to speak. If he was too angry to control himself she wanted to be a safe distance back, but if he welcomed her attempt to calm him then she would continue forward until she could stroke him soothing.
