Beneath even the commoners themselves. Most of them expected it and accepted it. It was simply part of their life. Belle, however, was not used to that treatment and whenever it was pulled on her, most of all by Jasella herself, she was left gritting her teeth and angry and hurt at being spoke to that way and she usually spent the whole next two days being the almost condescendingly perfect handmaiden that she could be. And so she bit back any more words that she might have possibly had time for, turning away from Jasella and just studying the bright lights until she felt someone right next to her and she looked over to see the Elf Duke standing next to her. Her moment's confusion towards his actions to her, or even acknowledgment of her, was quickly interrupted by another, more powerful, feeling. Annoyance. Looking up quickly towards Jasella, she lowered her eyes for a moment as she turned away, leaving Belle to deal with him on her own. For reasons that probably only Jasella knew, Belle was not fond of elves. All the characteristics that she normally wouldn't mind in other people only bothered her when accompanied by a set of wings. Begrudgingly lifting her arm, Belle placed it in with his, looking up warily towards him and silently cursing Jaz for getting her into this. "I guess we will see." She said politely as they began to follow the rest of the group. She hated adventure. It was much too stressful for her taste. She watched tensely from behind as Jasella and the King continued to squabble. This was it. There was no way they were going to get their aide at this rate. She could just feel it and though she hated being so pessimistic, all their plans seemed to be sinking right then and she could think of a million other things that would make this whole trip go over better even if those words would never see the light of day. She had learned her fair share of diplomacy from her travels, having been witness to quite a few of these meetings. Though none had turned out this awful.
