Laurent settled in to one of the nooks in the library after breakfast, enjoying a book and waiting to see if his entertainment would make an appearance. When he heard the door open, he got to his feet, emerging from the nook and leaning against the edge of a bookcase with a expectant look on his face.

The Beast looked somewhat civilized, dressed handsomely in black velvet, and Laurent couldn't wait to see him make an idiot of himself.

For Laurent's part, he was dressed in a gorgeous deep burgundy, crowned with gold and garnets, and looking as impossibly handsome as ever.
