"I don't want to go back there," said Herbert as he thumbed through the book. "I'm doing quite well for myself now. Zira taught me how to run the shop already. I even sold a book last night. Of course, that didn't seem to please him, but the fact remains-"

"I never asked you to come back and live there, Herbert," *she said going up to him and pushing the book down and away from his face so he had to look at her.*
"But, you know, we're kind of family now, and I don't want to lose that."

"My father made his feelings clear, and I'm inclined to agree. And I'm doing so much better now-"

"So you're perfectly all right with losing touch completely with your own father?"

"It's what he wants."

"Of all the stubborn idiot vampi-"
*She stopped herself mid-sentence.*
"It is most certainly not what he wants! The only reason he's not here right now is he thinks that you hate him!"

"You should have heard what he said to me, Belle. He doesn't want me back there."

"He didn't mean it!"
*At that moment, Aziraphale appeared at the top of the stairs, drawn by the raised voices. He faltered, when he caught sight of the girl yelling at Herbert.*
"Belle?"
*She looked up at him with a smile.*
"Oh, hello Aziraphale. -And I'm not asking you to come back forever. Stay here if it makes you happy-"
*Aziraphale looked perplexed and a little frightened.*
"What is going on here?"

"She's trying to get me to go back," Herbert snarled.

"And with good reason!" *she snapped, her arms crossed.* "I just don't want everybody mad at each other!"

*She groaned in frustration, wondering why she even bothered with this family sometimes. They could be so idiotically stubborn!*
"Herbert, you are coming to the castle if I have to drag you there myself-"
*Aziraphale was watching them with bemused wonder. She turns up, after they'd thought she was dead and within two minutes they were shouting at each other again...*

"You have everything you could want now. Why are you making me part of that?"

*She sighed, and her expression softened a tiny bit.*
"Who's going to steal my ribbons and make my life difficult without you around?"

"I don't think I would be stealing your ribbons anymore anyway," said Herbert, the master of missing the point. "Zira likes it loose now."
