[And Beast is more than used to living in semi-denial.

A little longer wouldn't hurt her. (Maybe.)]

An' 'ow clever 'ave ye been with the rest a them, then?

[pipers_son]

Why don't ya tell me~?

Lemme see... There's Rose Red and Snow White, 'course. Rapunzel, too! A lot of 'em I had ta do a hard bit a thinkin', but it's good I know my tall tales, eh?

[lackingbeauty]

Is it really 'ard thinkin' if ye just snatch names out a children's stories?

[Anyone listening would probably feel "wow, harsh, Beast, lay off the guy", but beneath the gruff tone was actually... maybe the happiest she'd been since she arrived.]

[pipers_son]

It was a lot a rememberin'! [The laugh he makes is probably one of the more honest sounds he's made in months.] Can't I get a bit a credit for that?

[lackingbeauty]

[It makes her avert her gaze, stare at the Litleo's instead to hide the slight softening in her gaze at the sound of his laugh.]

The tiniest mite a credit.

[pipers_son]

Heh. Well we take what we get, don't we?

[He leans down to scratch behind the ear of a cub that hasn't been able to get past the large pile clamoring for Beast's attention.]

Think they're good enough for a bit a play, then?

[lackingbeauty]

Fer a show... 'll take two, perhaps.

[She doesn't relish trying to train more than a pair at a time. Mainly because once they got bigger, well...]

[pipers_son]

Which ones are catchin' yer eye then? Or do ya need a bit more time?

[There's a couple of troublemakers in the mix, that much he's noticed, but he's sure any of the faults the little cubs bring along with them is noting Beast can't handle.]

[lackingbeauty]

I'll 'ave to watch 'em a while, see their natures.

[Wanted them a bit adventurous, energetic... but not as aggressive, or rebellious...]

[pipers_son]

Well, maybe when yer done watchin', I'll have figured out which is which!

[It... might not take too long. Maybe. Hopefully.]

[lackingbeauty]

The only reason ye can' tell is cause ye done got so damn many, ye know.

[Is she ever going to let that go?

Maybe no.]

[pipers_son]

[Another helpless shrug and chuckle.]

I couldn't help it. What's a circus without lions and tigers and things like that?

[lackingbeauty]

Couldn' 'elp it my arse.

[But she'll let it go (FOR NOW), instead content to just sit and watch the little critters and take notes on which looks the most trainable.]
