[She's not sure she should ask, but she needs to. This is a little bit upsetting.] Belle? ...Mr. Gold? Are you both alright?

[alwayshasaprice]

audio;

Belle will be alright. She simply needs some time. [ Away from the Beast. ]

[alwaysfindshim]

And... yourself, Mr. Gold? Are you alright?

[alwayshasaprice]

[Well, she doesn't know either of them, but that's not going to stop her from responding to this little squabble. With video, so they can see exactly how unamused she is.] I think the lady can make her own decisions, don't you?

[risegloriana]

Oh yes, I would. Very much know how women's hearts are.

[She really wouldn't.]

[alwayshasaprice]

Then, be as so kind to enlighten me.

[ He's almost amused. ]

I'll be alright, Ruby. For the moment I just need to clear my head.

[whosafraidofme]

If you need anything, you just let me know. Whether it's a place to stay or a hot meal.
