Mireille hadn't actually asked the cats anything yet, beyond the one that had pointed out her clothing to her. She'd only found this place because Naoto had mentioned it and she'd gotten rather frustrated looking around the dead ruins in the center of the garden.

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

That brunette hadn't heard her coming at all, humming softly to herself around a mouthful of berries. So, when she turned around with her cheeks full and her hand over her mouth, she was so surprised she almost swallowed them whole. Mireille would have to excuse her, as she hoped she didn't seem rude, but it would have been even less polite to speak with her mouth full. Fortunately, berries don't take long to chew, and Belle finished them quickly, dragging her knuckles across her mouth.

"Oh, hello!"

Mireille raised an eyebrow at the girl as she chewed on her berries, and looked rather amused, but she said nothing and simply waited politely for her to finish. It wasn't as though there was any particular reason to rush in this place.

"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.

"If you'd like," was her pleasantly surprised reply. "I certainly wouldn't turn it down. To be honest, I'm not sure how much I should gather... There seems to be a lot of us here."

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."

Anna is there, setting up a simple snare trap. Or trying: she's fumbling with a knot.

"Been too long since I needed to do this by myself," she mutters.

Of course, when Belle stumbles across another person, she's going to be a mixture of pleased, curious, and naturally cautious. But that last part is so overshadowed by the other two that she has to approach.

"Are you having trouble?" she asked, bunching up the fruit stored in her apron.

[hotshot_momma]

"A little," she says. "I'm trying to set a snare, get one of the game birds with a bit of luck."

[elbowpower]

"Oh." She shifts her weight, reaching up to brush a stray hair out her face. "Well, is there anything I could do to help?"
