I don't really wish to complain...

But I'm not sure how fond I am of a place that rips your family from you and makes them forget you entirely.

[Snow White values family above all else.

So having it taken from her?

Not the nicest feeling.]

I do hope that won't happen again.

Oh yes, but being unhappy, it never really gets anything done, I've found.

[She's had to self-comfort for... years, Beast. Her survival mechanisms are going to be hard to displace.]

[learningtolove]

True. But it never seems to have stopped me before.

[Beast has always tried to make sure and drag everyone else down with him when he's unhappy, which is really no way to be.]

[onebadapple]

Oh? Well, you clearly don't like being unhappy.

[learningtolove]

No. It is no way to be. But I have often found myself becoming depressed as the years have gone on.

[There was only so much time for the curse to be removed after all and he was coming up on the deadline fast.]

[onebadapple]

If you want to talk about it, Beast, I'd be happy to do what I can.

[learningtolove]

It is just the matter of the curse. Not much you can do about that.

[Though the Enchantress never stated it had to be romantic love that was needed to break it. Just love in general. The 'Frozen' clause of the curse if you will.]

[onebadapple]

What is the curse? I won't know until you tell me, silly.

[learningtolove]

I'm cursed to be a beast until I can fall in love with someone and earn their love in return.

[onebadapple]

Oooh, I see. Well, I love you very dearly as a friend. Would that count?

[learningtolove]

[Beast's furry face, though unseen on audio, grows thoughtful.]

You know, I'm not sure.

[The Enchantress hadn't exactly left a rulebook on how curses worked when she'd left one on Beast.]

[onebadapple]

Well, how shall we see?

[learningtolove]

Well, if I grow to love you in return and that's all that is needed, then it should break the curse.

[He did sound a bit more hopeful now. Perhaps there was a way to end this curse that had been on him for ten long years after all!]

[onebadapple]

Then let's hope I am not too difficult to love!

[learningtolove]

No. I do not think you are difficult like that at all.

[onebadapple]

Well, thank you, dearest Beast. I do try.
