With such wonderful feelings of cheer filling the Great Hall, Belle hadn't even given a second thought - not that she had had a first - to a wish for the New Years. She had enjoyed listening and participating in the conversations about the staff table, as well as watching the students enjoy a happy celebration and chatter on in reflection and anticipation. Not to mention, the feast itself had been quite a thing as well! Though the kitchens were always full of delicious things, she had missed the tastes of back home and had definitely made a point to request and sample many of her favourite foods.
Though, now things were winding down a bit and a wish had to be made. Taking in the piece of paper before her, Belle took a moment of silence to contemplate just what to wish for. The New Year was full of possibilities, many of them. It would be a bit difficult to settle upon just one wish, though she had an inkling of what it would concern.
As she reached for her drink, still narrowing down the choices, she noticed her fellow staff member beside her appearing to be just as deep in thought as she was. With a smile, Belle struck up a bit of conversation. "So many possibilities, so little time?",she inquired good-naturedly.
"Seems to be the case," Leoben replied, coming quickly out of his thoughts. He'd managed to write something down, though he was curious as to where it would lead. You couldn't trust anything in this castle.
Belle, once she had taken a sip of her drink, scribbled something down upon her own sheet of paper. As she did so, she nodded towards Leoben and turned towards him..
"I think so," she admitted with a soft smile. "If I had one wish at all, at least, this would be it."
"I would ask more, but there's superstition that it won't come true," Leoben said. He recalled one of his sisters telling him about that, a long time ago.
With a soft laugh, Belle nodded. She had heard the superstitions herself and a part of her, the part that would forever be a little girl at heart, understood them. It was nice to hear that someone else thought of them, too.
"Yes, it is. What of yours? Is it a long awaited one or something new?"
