Library; Thursday [ 06/09 ].

Alexander had put aside his regular research for today, curious about the events of the weekend. He remembered being the Beast and the strange feelings that moved him, as if he was cursed, and that made Alexander intensely curious. He'd collected a few books on myths and curses, figuring even if he didn't find what he was looking for, it was all still quite interesting, and perhaps something about the Land of the Green Isles might show up in one of them. One never knew.

And finally, he found at least something: A prince known for being incredibly vain and selfish one day encounters a fairy, who turned him into a hideous beast after he refused to let her in from the rain, and that only by finding true love, despite his ugliness, could he break the curse.

"Zounds!" said Alexander, intrigued, and he kept reading. Somehow, he had a feeling this would be valuable information for later.

The Library is open!

Alexander nodded. "Which made it a particularly interesting feat for my father, but, clearly, he managed. Either that, or the slizard learned human behavior quite quickly. I should think, though," he said with a chuckle, "that my mother would notice immediately, and then reprimand the slizard quite harshly."

"Or train it," Belle laughed. "Unless slizards are quite well versed in human etiquette. But I'd think she'd probably rather get her husband back than train a new one."

"And that she would," Alexander agreed. "It seems that questing comes from both sides of my family; she'd march right back into the Kingdom of Sorrow and demand her husband be returned, and I imagine they'd hand him over in a heartbeat."

"She sounds like a very fearsome lady," Belle said warmly. "Woman after my own heart. Sometimes the only way to get things done is by demanding it."

"And she's quite good at that, too," Alexander said with fondness. "Except perhaps when it comes to my sister. It seems the only one as stubborn as my mother is her very own daughter."

"The world needs more women willing to take a stand," Belle said with a firm nod. "Where I'm from, I was always the odd one because I wasn't content to keep my mouth shut and find a husband to take care of me."

"I think you would like to meet my sister, then," Alexander said with a smile. "That sounds exactly like Rosella, much to Mother's chagrin."
