[Belle looks a little unsure as she addresses the network.]

Excuse me. My name is Belle.

I apologize for addressing everyone so soon. My roommate, Ildikó odala, has vanished. I haven't seen her for a few days now and... I'm worried. I fear she's left for good.

If that is the case I need to find housing else-ware or someone interested in housing with me.

Please let me know. Thank you for your attention and time.

[Now this is interesting, he thought it was impossible to leave. He wonders how they managed that]

You're welcome to move in with me if you can't find anywhere else to go.

[chasingroses]

Why do you need to have share the place with someone else?

[Video]

[clevermind]

That's very kind of you.

[She smiles softly.]

I'd hate to impose on you but I will keep it in mind. Are you living in the Tardis now? [She hopes she said that correctly.

Belle doesn't know how she feels living with a man, even if he happened to live with other people. She realizes that it's normal here but there are simply things that aren't done in her village and that's one of them.]

[clevermind]

I'm afraid with my job I can't afford a decent place on my own.

[She's sure that Dorian had leaked information about her work to Gaston.]

[chasingroses]

I can help pay if necessary. And no I'm not inviting myself to stay. I already learned that lesson.

[clevermind]

[A small smile touches her lips.]

I couldn't ask that of you. You have to support yourself.

I hope to find another woman who would be willing to live with me.

When people disappear without warning, it usually means they've been sent back to their own world. That's what I've heard...

[She's still wondering when it will happen to her.]

Do you not like being alone? Or is it the...expenses?

[She's still trying to wrap her mind about the fact that humans have to pay just to have a place to live...]

[Video]

[clevermind]

Expenses mostly but I've never lived on my own.

[She isn't saying that she can't but she doesn't prefer it.]

[Video]

[liorafae]

I see. Do you have--

[She cuts herself off there, realizing that since they're in a different world, Belle likely doesn't have anyone from her own world here.]

I mean...is it normal for humans to barter for living space?

[Video]

[clevermind]

I don't know. This world is still very new to me.

[Video]

[liorafae]

Oh...so...how did you live back home?

[Video]

[clevermind]

I lived with my father.

[Video]

[liorafae]

Only your father? Do humans live in clans? Or any kind of group?

[Video]

[clevermind]

I'm afraid I can't speak for all humans. My home was a small village. Most people lived with their family.

If she's vanished, odds are she's no longer here. Which is sad.

[It was someone she had spoken to before, so she couldn't help but be a little sad about it.]

But's it's nice that people are offering. Having a roommate is always fun.

[growsveggies]

I assume living alone is not something you are overly used to?

[Haru herself had lived with her father until a short while ago. So she understood it being an odd experience, to say the least.]

[moviemagic]

Even though I don't actually know you, I would be willing to offer.

[For reasons other than doing it to be kind. More to learn from others, even if she doesn't actually know them.]

video;

[clevermind]

I think so too. It's rather lonely living on your own.

Do you have someone that you're living with?

[She knows not to assume that everyone living together is married, though the thought does pop into Belle's head.]

video;

[clevermind]

I've always lived with my father.

[She misses him and knows that she'd think about him constantly if she does live alone.]

video;

[clevermind]

That's very kind of you.

[Belle's lips tug into a warm smile.]

I do have some time in my current living situation. If you'd feel more comfortable we can get to know each other.

[She won't force anyone to do something they don't want to do.]

[chasingroses]

I have no problem supporting myself and helping you. I'll help you pay for the time being until you can find someone to live with you or you find another place.

[He spoke in a firm tone, making it known that he wasn't going to back down from this offer. He couldn't allow himself to see Belle in a such a situation.]

[moviemagic]

I find I get to know people easily. Besides, sometimes roommates don't know each other when they first move in together. Though this is only from stuff I have learnt from movies and such.

[Not from personal experience.]

But hey, having a chat is always something I can do... Currently have time now otherwise wouldn't be chatting.

video;

[gamerrep]

I do currently. Before it was someone from my world, but they went home. Currently living with a friend called Sync.

[She wanted to help, so offered. Not like she had much in this apartment anyway.]

He's a nice person.

[growsveggies]

[Welp, that was something Haru got fully. Living with one's father anyway.]

I can see how living alone would be hard for you. I also understand. I lived with my father before now.

[clevermind]

[That is probably the nicest thing that Gaston has ever done.]

Thank you Gaston. I do hope it doesn't come to that but I'll keep the offer in mind.

[She flashes him a very rare, warm smile.]

Does this mean you're settling in okay?
