7th Book | Text/Action

To anyone who wanted to explore the sub archways with me,

I am planning on going to the Paris one in Attleton today if you still want to come. It can be just the two of us or if you want to go in a group then we can. Just let me know the time you will arrive and I will plan what we do.

Love Belle.

Action;

[Belle could be found sitting on a near by bench, hands wrapped around a book that she was currently reading. ell if one was going to wait one might as well read, right?]

[He shakes his head.]

I'll have whatever you're having.

[She nodded slightly ordering two of the same thing.]

It's not frog I ordered, or snails. I figured just something simple would do. Though you best order your drink.

[Toby really isn’t a picky eater. It comes with being a wolf; anything below him on the food chain is something he’d consider eatable if he’s hungry. You eat to survive though Toby is a little weird about restaurants; dinners specifically.

He turns towards the waitress when she returns and orders his drink.]

Eau [He looks back at Belle.] What did you order?

[Noodles? because he can’t stop thinking about noodles for some reason though they aren’t really synonymous with France.]

[She smiled slightly before she figured she would answer. Her drink having been ordered and the waiter heading on off.]

Sautéed potatoes with bacon lardons & persillade. It sounded nice to me.

Sounds good.

[In fact, her description is making him very hungry.]

[She smiled softly and waited for the drinks to arrive, her eyes glancing around.]

This place is beautiful. Don't you think?

Yeah.

[He relaxes back in his seat, his long legs stretching awkwardly to either side of the table. It's hard for someone as tall as Toby to get comfortable in a small place like this but he manages to do that while staying out of the way.]

I've never left the country... unless Canada or Mexico count.

[He still hasn't left the country legally.]

I think those count.

[She was pretty sure they did anyway. Her hands were lightly placed on the table as the waiter returned with the drink order.]

Don't know why you would think that didn't count.

[Toby shrugs.]

Same continent?

[He's pretty sure that's correct.]

I still think it counts.

[She thinks anyway.]

Then I’ve been out of the country.

[His brow furrows slightly.]

If you could travel anywhere? Do you have a destination in mind?

[She shook her head slightly. She never had any place in mind if she had to be honest.]

I don't have anywhere in mind. I just knew that... I wanted to explore. To have an adventure.

That sounds like a boring trip with no where in mind.

[He's been to a lot of places.]

No, it's more going to explore the unknown, which I find exciting. But that is just me.

[It wasn't long before the food finally arrives as Belle picks up her knife and fork.]

[Toby sighs and picks up his knife and fork to eat.]

I never wanted to travel. It just happened.

[Because he has something to protect.]

So you just randomly decided to when you never wanted to?

[She takes a bite of her meal, letting it linger.]

I had no choice in the matter.

[Toby eats as well, a lot faster than Belle as if he's ravenous.]

Really? I won't ask what happened, but it must have been something major.

[She had taken another bite, taking her time with her meal.]

[Toby rolls his shoulders in a shrug.]

Life happens.

[He doesn't find it all to uncommon, as far as the statement goes, though his personal details are unique. From how she talks people don't just travel where she's from.]

[She guessed, but at least where she was from travelling outside the border usually had something happen when you did. There were exceptions and she knew hnow people could, but not without a consequence.]

For me life tends to happen in town often.

You've been in a town you're whole life?

[She seems a little old to have never moved away from home or anything like that. Toby doesn't really understand but he assumes she has an interesting story to go along with it.]

No, I spent most of my life in the Enchanted Forest. In a town I was in there for 28 years and still was until I arrived here.

[Though that was to be long and complicated to explain what went on back home in detail.]

[The sentences don't quite match up and the sudden change from one to the other confuses Toby. He needs context.]

What's the Enchanted Forest?

It's another place before I arrived at Storybrooke. It's...basically where I live before a spell kicked in.

[She had placed her fork and knife down, having finished her meal before picking up her drink.]

Yeah but what's it like.

[Toby's meal has already completely vanished.]
