So far she'd been in three of the 'necessities', and each was as different from the last as it could be. One she would have sworn hadn't been touched since at least the seventeen hundreds, and yet the next was so perfectly modern she could have lived in it back in Paris. And the third...
Well, she hadn't known what half the gizmo's in that strange room were.
She was moving quietly towards the fourth one when she spotted the brunette nearby, and the Corsican paused for a moment, studying her. So far, none of the people she'd encountered had attacked her...she didn't want to say they weren't dangerous because she was quite sure they were. But they hadn't been hostile. Still ( ... )

"Oh, hello!"

"Hello," she echoed once the other had managed to talk. She looked around a bit, shifting her little purse on her shoulder. "Do you need any help with those?" She asked as she pointed towards the little pile of fruit.

Lucky for Belle, she was never the easily embarrassed type. Getting caught with her hand in the cookie jar, so to speak, didn't really bother her. Perhaps it was just natural for her to give off such a friendly aura to strangers! She wiped her fingers off on her apron to lessen the residue of the berries, and then extended her hand in greeting. "I'm Belle. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"And are you planning to cook for everyone, then?" She added as she drew her hand back. Mireille wasn't particularly looking out for anyone but herself so far, but she actually enjoyed cooking so helping out probably wouldn't be too much of a chore.

"Well, yes," she stammered. "Yes, I am. French, I mean. But I am also planning to cook for as many people as I can. Or at least, get enough food for everyone." She paused to grin. "I'm just wondering how long before anyone else thinks of it."

She shifted her purse so it was hanging from her wrist, and then held out her hands to take some of the things the girl was holding so that she could keep picking. And then when she spoke again, she was speaking in French. "I have to admit, I'm glad I've run into you. I was afraid I might not have much reason to speak my second favorite language."

"As am I! But only your second favorite? May I ask your first?"

"Corsican. Though I never get to speak that anymore." She paused, and suddenly realized the woman might not know where it was, despite being French. With people being drawn from different times, it was hard to guess what anyone would know. "It is an island to the south of France, technically part of the country, but..." She shrugged and smiled. The Corsicans rarely considered themselves French, after all.

"When? I'm afraid I don't know much about what's going on."

Mireille looked about a bit with her arms full of fruit, her eyes searching, and then sighed. "You would think a place like this would have a basket somewhere."

"2001? Two-thousand... You must be from a different world. Or maybe you're from my future." Belle covered her mouth to laugh. Despite the shock, it was truly amazing. "It's only the 18th century."
Reply
"The future is more likely, as we both can speak the same language. I've met a woman from 2017 as well, and another from 2012." She shifted faintly in place. "I don't really understand it, but...they have no reason to lie."

Belle shook her head, smiling, and turned to go back to picking fruit. But now that the subject of other worlds were brought up, she had to wonder. Would Sora make an appearance here, too? The Queen certainly didn't act villainous, but you never knew...
Reply
"Have you found anything here besides fruit?"
