There were few people in her life she would follow with blind faith; it was just Auntie Elladora. Her mother was of course, a strong candidate, but even so even at (barely) nine, Belle knew that her mother did not always demonstrate the most common sense. It was with this in mind that she followed her aunt into the garden, delighted by whatever they were going to do already.

She watched in awe as they made their way toward the fountain near the edge of the garden itself. It was a little hidden, but one of Belvina's favorite spots, even if she knew she wasn't supposed to spend that much time outside. Not like the boys anyway. Auntie Ella made the fountain bigger, a little gasp of excitement her reward as Belle realized what was happening. "Never," she breathed out, grinning. It wasn't ladylike, but since Auntie was instigating, it had to be alright.

"What did you bring?" Belle giggled, excited, hoping there were some sort of biscuits or sweets in there she wasn't supposed to indulge in too often.
