[Cogsworth, too, had been wandering around the school for the past few days for one reason or another. Spending time to plan for his class, finding his way around the immense campus, and maybe to avoid making contact with the Beast...
But he had done these things non stop for too long, he found his thoughts drifting, a rare occurance for him... He wondered about the state of the Castle, the servants within, and if the Mist should ever drift their way..
The Mist had him especially nervous, and the news that it had come to the school before.
Lately Cogsworth had been wandering to keep his mind off his own worrying.

During these frequent walks he had caught sight of Esmerelda a few times in passing, but was too low to the ground to be noticed. After a while, he finally decides to strike up a conversation.]

Ahem.. Hello! Good evening, miss! [He smiles and waves to catch her attention]

[ Someone was talking and----is that a table clock? To be honest, there was a lot of strange things here. But by far, Cogsworth had been the strangest. Have a strange, curious look, Cogsworth. ]

You...[ She's sure you're aware that you're a clock. ]

Ah, good evening. [ Now have an apologetic smile. ]

[He's so used to that look by this point, he just shrugs it off..]
How are you, mademoiselle?
I've noticed you wandering the grounds recently.

[outcastinparis]

[ Yup. Talking clock. Now that that was settled, she kneeled down to half his level. ]

I'm alright, just...I like going on walks.

[ Terrible, terrible liar. ]

[t1ghtly_w0und]

I've been doing the same recently.. It helps me to think about things, I suppose.

[outcastinparis]

Exactly.

[ smiling, she sits down next to him, if she's going to talk to him for a while.]

Especially with the whole...Mist-thing.

[t1ghtly_w0und]

I know what you mean... It's terrifying that no one knows how to combat it at all.

[outcastinparis]

Not yet, anyway.

True, and it seems like a lot of the staff and students are very eager to learn more about it. We're probably in safer hands here than anywhere else!
