[ 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.

I can understand that... no one really knows who I was before I came here, so I've got a clean slate.
[Not that he ever lets himself get away with pretending he isn't a terrible person. He's not making that mistake ever again.]
Ah, about that... I've gotta be one of the weirder folks around here. It's a long story, simplest explanation being... I'm over a hundred years old.
[Sweats.]

. . .Really? [ She blinks. ] Wait are you serious? That's incredibly. [ Over a hundred years old! Think of the events he's actually lived through and knows about. That's fantastic and yet very sad at the same time. She doesn't want to imagine outliving anyone she loves. ]
What time are you originally from?

[Christ, a lot happened in 1912. It was not his finest year, and that's saying something.]
After that I.. sort of agreed to being sealed in ice for a hundred years. But I was 38 at the time, so I guess that makes me closer to 150 now...
[God he's so old. This is all the Lutece twins' fault.]
