"Er, I don't think your father will be pleased about that-"

*Belle jumped at the crack, and whirled to face the door. Stunned, she stared at them for a moment. That certainly hadn't been what she was expecting.*

"You're so cute when you worry!" Herbert teased, beaming at Aziraphale for a moment before turning toward the girl on the bed.
"Oh, look at you," he sighed. "Daddy made you cry. How awful of him. Well, we'll have to fix that."
He swept over to her, rather like his father in miniature but less stiff, formal. He took Belle's small hand in his and kissed it.
"I am Herbert, Count von Krolock's son, and this is Giles, mein mann Aziraphale."

*Belle blinked rapidly, trying to hide the fact that she had indeed been crying. She nodded hesitantly to the two of them.*
"I'm Belle."

"Belle," he said fondly to Aziraphale.

"Very good to meet you," *he said, a little distractedly.*
"Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?"

*She shook her head.*
"I'm fine."
*There was a bit of a bruise on her arm where he'd grabbed her, but otherwise she was just shaken. And trapped in a castle full of insane vampires. With that thought, she narrowed her eyes at the pair in front of her, wondering whether they fell under that classification.*

"Oh, the poor thing's friiiiiightened!" Herbert gushed. "We should do something."
He slowly turned and grinned at Belle.

"Darling, I'm not sure you're helping," *he muttered, giving Belle an apologetic look.*

*It seemed that Herbert was certainly insane, even if it wasn't clear whether he was a vampire. She met his grin with a raised eyebrow.*

"Of course I'm helping! How can you even say I'm not helping!" Herbert tutted, poking Aziraphale's belly.
He strutted over to Belle and strung his arm through hers.
"You look positively famished."

*He may have been insane, but at least it was a likable sort of insane. She allowed him a small smile.*
"Well, I am a little hungry."

*Aziraphale's worried frown deepened.*
"Perhaps it would be better if we stayed here. I wouldn't want to anger your father, my dear."

"If you say so... But still, don't you think it would be better if we were to bring her food to her here?"
