[ Hair down, in neatly kept curls, Belle switches on her mobile device. She's clearly nervous. The idea of adjusting to American life properly isn't one she's taking well.

Perhaps it has much to do with the loss of her mother and being kept so far away from home. The best Belle can manage is a soft smile, her accent still evident in her speech, but her english is proficient enough. ]

Bonjour, my name is Belle and I just transferred. [ She gives a small, nervous wave. ] I was wondering what types of clubs you have here. I'm interested in any book clubs or maybe language ones. I am still learning english.

[ She bites at her lip. ]

I would appreciate it if someone could show me around properly? Also, [ Shuffles for a paper from her pocket. ] Meulin Leijon? I would like to meet you as it seems we're roomed together. How about coffee?

[ Does she sound too proper? She can't tell. ]

Thank you for your time.

Unfortunately yes. Our government was trying to improve those living conditions for a while. [ There were hiccups trying to get that to happen. ] It's better than it used to be.

I'll admit I didn't pay much mind to how officials were going about things. I got the impression most of 'em took care of their own. I got pointed to a shelter pretty quickly.
