Pretending was nice. It was an escape from the world and all of the bad things that wanted to hurt her. For the first time in a long time, Belle felt safe. Like she didn’t have to struggle or fight so hard. She felt herself slowly drifting off, wrapped up in protective arms. But like dreams, pretending had to come to an end. She felt Ochra move and that was enough to jostle her peaceful dozing. She looked up at Ochra, processing his question slowly. She nodded.
“Um… Mrs. Sulfur is letting me stay with her… but she went to Namek, so I’m… I’m staying in my spaceship. It’s kind of lonely, but I have Daisy, so it’s okay.”
Wriggling out of Ochra’s arms, Belle hastily wiped away the tears that were still in her eyes. She felt a little embarrassed.
“Tarch said I could be his sister too. I was going to see him… but I thought you were him, which is why… um… I bumped into you. Tarch’s brother Chromo doesn’t like me though, so I can’t stay with them. B-But that’s okay…”
Belle felt like she was floundering. Reaching out, she took Mister Ochra’s hand in hers and tugged it gently.
“Well, a-anyway, do you wanna come with me to see Tarch…?”
