"Let us know if you need anything then, Madam." Mr Portman said.

"Very well." He left the room dragging his tail behind him. "You sure?" Mr Portman asked. "I know Charlie Boydsworth would make a fine tour guide. He knows this place like the back of his hand."

(Right?)

"My servants can show you around if you want."

"That leads to my bed chambers and personal study. I prefer privacy in those areas." (I figured I'd attempt to make my beast a bit smarter. At least tell her half the truth.)

"I don't see you succeeding." He said. "But go ahead. Take a look around. You can go anywhere. Accept the west wing."

"So how do you think you can break the curse?"

"It was a joke." He said.

"What are you a witch too?" He asked, humorously.

"No no no! That's not what I meant at all." He would have blushed if he could. "I thought it would be better to entertain you while you stayed. Would you like to see the library?"

"I mean stories? My mom used to read me to sleep until I learned how to read. I still haven't read them all."

He shrugged. " I suppose you read right?" He stood. "You are finished Lord?" Said the pot. "Yes Mr Portman."

He nodded. "Mom and Danlimir died three months before dad. Than six months after that, my castle was cursed."

He nodded. His skull face was incapable of showing expression, but it came out in his posture.

"No. She knew knitting. Her best friend was Leila." He sat back reminiscing. "She was amazing with paint, dancing, and singing. No instrument was foreign to her, even at thirteen years old."

He shook his head. "My sister had hands like yours." He looked away awkwardly. "It's odd having a human in the castle. I think it's been two years since the curse was cast."

He finished the meal quickly. And sat watching her.

He picked up his food with his hands. "Also, forgive my lack of manners, but I can't tell the difference between my servants and the real dishes. So I don't use them. The table is regularly cleaned though." He took a bite and swallowed it whole. "I also can't chew."

"A necessary inconvenience. I hope you understand." He sat at the table and waited for her.

They made it to the banquet hall and were greeted by the same teapot as last night. " bon appetit, lord and madam." He said. (I just realised how fucked up it is that the dishes were originally people. I will never see Beauty and the Beast the same way again.)
