She makes a face at her own words, as if even Belle recognizes how peculiar her experiences are.

"I used to wonder when I'd get a chance to have my own adventures. Lately, I've had more than my share." Not that she's complaining, especially not when there are people here who have it worse than she does. "I've seen enough that, if there's anything you need, I'll do my best to help. Even if it's just someone to listen for a while."
