Tutoring Session 2 (Anyone)

((OOC: Um, hello? Anyone can come in.))
Back at the table, after her flirting - and kiss with Flynn - Belle flipped through the books. She hoped some people would come by expecting tutors unlike last time, where the only two she helped were Vanellope and Flynn. Sure that was better than nothing, but she was putting herself, wasting precious time, on helping people learn.

(9Hello? Open topic)).

((OCC: Do you mind if Alidia comes in))
Alidia was sick of school cause she hasn't seen her beloved anywhere and Ariel was busy with her romantic life with Jim. She growled under her breath, and decided to head to the library and mix some potions and when she walked in she saw Belle. And Alidia waved and sat next to her

((Not at all))
"Potions, histo...oh, hello Alidia." Belle looked up as she heard the scraping of a chair. "Anything I can help you with?"

"Got anything for broken hearts or love spells?" Alidia was so brokenhearted cause it was almost Chirstmas and she was alone. She did a heavy sigh and buried her head in her arms.

Normally Belle would ask about Alidia's pain, but found it best to leave it alone. Her sisters suffered many a heartache; especially poor Calypso, who was still in mourning no matter how many times Belle visited her. "Here," she pushed over a book entitled Eros: The Love God The book contained a quote on quote "love guide", and this included dealing with love issues, making love potions, and so on. "I'm...sorry you're feeling alone."

Alidia peeked her head up. "Its okay, I guess. I....just miss him." Alidia started to tear up and she laid her head back down and didnt noticed the book. "I am glad I can trust you, Belle cause Ariel is too busy with Jim and I am by myself."

"Yeah, I noticed those two," Belle nodded drily. It was rue; Jim and Ariel were pretty tied by the lips. Belle cared about Flynn, but not to the point where she would make out with him openly in public. In fact, she would've given up her virginity to him that day in the pool but decided against it. "So, who's your lucky man?"

Alidia sighed "Well, it's a teacher. It's....it's Mr. Once-ler or like what I call him since he calls me "his good little witch" I call him Oncie." Alidia smirked as she rose her head up.

"I...don't think I met this teacher." It was true. But the "good little witch" was so upset that Belle didn't want to hurt her more. "We don't have to talk about it if it hurts."

((Alidia? Your post.))

((sorry I forgot lol))
Alidia sighed. "Belle, what's wrong with me? My shifting powers are fading, my sister seems to be distant and my beloved is no where to be found." Alidia was feeling depressed so she did what kinda cheer her up. She flicked her finger and made black roses appear.

"The best diagonsis for that is...depression," Belle said, careful not to prick her finger on the black rose that grew next to her. "You're thinking that you're alone, and that's affecting your shifting powers. But you're not, Alidia."

"Depression?" Alidia asked," Is there a cure?" Alidia kept playing with the rose and her hair.

"Multiple," Belle replied. "I['m sure there are some therapies that can help." She handed Alidia a few science volumes on meditation, herbology, and a psychology journal on coping with depression. "These roses growing is a good coping mechanism."

Alidia smiled as she gave Belle a hug. "Thanks, for everything."

Belle hugged Alidia back. "I'm always here to talk." Sure she didn't tutor Alidia academically, but life lessons were good enough.

Alidia smiled. She flicked her finger and made 2 hot chocolates appeared.

"Oh. Thanks." Belle took the hot chocolate. "I could use the energy, especially since I have to tutor people at this time." She sipped the rich brew; it was better than that powdered nonsense people used nowadays. "Perfect."

Alidia grinned. "No biggie."

"So, anything else I can help you with?" Belle asked. She pointed to the textbooks. "I set up this tutoring program for more reasons than one, you know."

"Well," Alidia started to say "I was wondering if you could help me with home ec cause I wanna cook without magic."

"Hoem economics, huh?" Belle grabbed the required textbook. "How about we go over basic kitchen utensils first. That can be a start on cooking without magic. Trust me, I'm guilty of doing it, too."

Alidia smiled "Sure. Let's do it!"

"Swell tides." Belle grabbed a sheet of paper. After folding it to an ooblong rectangle, she covered up the names of the utensils on one column; in order, they were a peeler, a flipper, a saucepan, a slotted spoon, and a soup pot. "We'll start easy."
