I love you, Belle. You made me stronger.

Having those as his last words should have made it hurt less. Knowing that he had done the right thing--the brave thing--in great part because of her love should have made it easier to accept his sacrifice

"Thank you. It...well, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's arrived here at a rather difficult time, if this place is really meant to teach us something."

After all, she was sure that if the curse hadn't been about to drag her back to the Enchanted Forest, she would have found herself back in Rumple's Storybrooe home, lingering over his things, dreaming of what might have beenShe wondered if it could be that simple, if she was meant to--move on, here. She wasn't quite sure she wanted to

"Well, that's ah...one way to keep things exciting," Belle bit her lip nervously, not sure how she'd feel if she found herself a child again in a place like this. She'd always been curious and adventurous, but that was in the Forest.

She sighed, trying not to think too much on things that couldn't be undone (dead is dead sounded in her mind too loudly, as much as she tried to ignore it), "But I suppose there's no use worrying about it now. I should probably...get myself settled and cleaned up, I'm sure I must look frightful." Not that she was worried about appearances, but she knew how her hands had torn at her hair and rubbed at her face--she was just grateful Faramir had let her story rest on Rumple being gone and nothing more.

"That is a positive way to look at it, since we cannot change what the village does." We can prepare, but not really change things.

"Everyone wishes for different things when they arrive. Some would be alone and others want to look around as soon as possible. I will certainly understand that you want to go to your room."

Since we are now at the door to the hotel, she can do so quite soon.

Belle chuckled, a small thing but genuine, "I usually try to look on the bright side of things." It was relatively easy to do that with the village--it was an adventure. She had a feeling it would be a great deal more difficult to do the same with the fact her heart was now alone. "That's not saying I'm inviting any such happening quite yet, I'd like a little time to get my bearings."

She bit her lip, glancing at the hotel. "Thank you, I...believe I'd at least like to see what the village thought to provide from home." In her heart, she knew she was hoping the cup was among those things. Even hearing time would stand still back home, she knew she'd feel better with it here. "Thank you very much for your company, Faramir."

"You are welcome, Belle." It is always difficult to know what people would hear of this place.

"I hope you find whatever it is you need."
