When Belle found out that Layle is alive thanks to her own way of finding information. The problem was that she didn't where the location was. Keiss "Hey Belle!" She turned around and saw that Keiss was running up to her. "What is it Keiss it better not be something stupid," she said to him.
Keiss "trust me you're going to like Belle". "Well, what is it?" Asked Belle while putting her hands on her hips.
"I just got word on where Layle is located at Belle isn't that great?" He replied. Belle "you better not be lying to me Keiss unless you want my foot up to your butt". It's no lie alright? Stay here in front of the doorway and don't move. He went down to his office took out a piece of paper and wrote down where Layle is.
Five mintues later "here you go, Belle, now are you sure you don't need my help going to this location to look for Layle?" Asked Keiss after he handed her the paper. Belle "don't worry I'm a selkie I can handle it solo" well then thanks Keiss I gotta run!
"Oh boy, I hope I didn't make the wrong choice by sending Belle all alone on this mission that could be dangerous," thought Keiss.
Since he knows that Belle can't defend herself against monsters. With Layle he was just hanging on top of a tree with his eyes closed. While he hears kids running around and playing tag or some type of game. He was thinking about all of the crazy stuff that happened after he flew the Aleix's battleship.
Then a ball somehow landed on his lap. A little girl "excuses me, big brother! can you give me and friend's ball back?" Layle huh? He looked down and saw a little selkie girl looking at him.
He said, "do you mean this?" He was using his powers to hold it up in the air. The little girl "yes! Can we have it back?"
"Sure" he jumped off the tree and give the little girl her ball back. Then all of the kids hugged him Layle "yeah, yeah" he patted all of their heads and walk away.
The boys "wow big brother is so cool! with the way, he holds up your ball Sara". Come on boys let's finished our ball game. With Belle, she was trying to read Keiss's handwriting while walking at the same time. "What the hell! I can bearly read this! His handwriting is bad!" Belle said to herself.
Then a random man walked up to her. She was too busy trying to read Keiss's handwriting that she didn't know a person was behind her. He was about to tap her shoulder when a guard was yelling.
He was saying "stop! You're under arrest!" Belle "huh? What's going on?"
She saw that the police were coming in her direction. "Oh boy I hope they're not after me," Belle said.
When she looked to her side she saw a man that was way older than her with a big bag on his back. The guard "hey you young lady! Stop that man before he gets away!" Belle alright with that she tried to hit the man as hard as she can.
"Slap" from Belle the man "seriously is that all you got? little girl?"
With that, he started to get close to her with a bag still on his back. Belle oh boy I wish Layle was here. He was about to grab her arm but to let the guard caught him. The guard "thank you for helping us young lady we been looking for this guy for months now". Now then if you will excuse us we have to take him to jail and see what the queen has to say about this.
Belle now wear was I? She went back to look at Keiss's handwriting. With Keiss "man, I hope Belle will be ok on her own". He didn't know what to do in the meantime so he decided to go pay Cid a visit. While the other selkies were just wandering around the gild ship or around town for the heck of it.
Since Keiss didn't give them any jobs for them to do other than Belle short of. One of Belle's friends "hmm I wonder well Belle went off to?" Her other friend now that I think I'm not sure. Ever since Keiss handed her that piece of paper she just took off with a smile on her face. Both of her friends started to think about it. One of them "do think she going to look for that peeper?" Her other friend respond "was no way! Why on earth she would look for him?"
The first one "maybe your right well then let's go shopping and forget about this topic".
The other one "yeah let 's do it will be really fun". With that, they went to the shopping market. "Cid? Are you home?" Keiss asked. Cid "yeah, yeah hold your horses I'm coming". "Oh, Keiss it's you what brings you around here?" He asked while opening the door to his workshop. "I thought that I would come and pay you a visit," Keiss said.
"I see" was all Cid was able to say. So have you got word on Layle and his whereabouts?
"Well I did it was pretty cool not to bad at least I know he alive" Keiss replied to Cid. "Really? Layle lived through that crazy battle?" Cid said in a surprised voice.
Keiss he sure did so I give Belle the direction on where he is. Cid "oh Belle is going to look for Layle?" "Yep," said Keiss I offered to go with her but she said no and she can handle it solo. Which I find hard to believe half of the time. Cid "You're right about that Keiss".
"What's with the look on your face?" Keiss asked Cid. Because he was smirking "man Keiss are you clueless! Belle has a secret crush on Layle! He said while laughing. Keiss was at loss for words" hello? Earth to Keiss" Cid said while waving his hand in front of his face.
"Oh sorry about that Cid I'm still not convinced that Belle has a secret crush on Layle" he replied.
"Seriously Keiss how can you be clueless about their relationship?" Cid said to him. "Remember when the leader of the selkies threw Belle when the aril prison was sinking?" "Of course I remember Cid it was the worst day of our lives. You see when Layle caught Belle's hand she was smiling at him and he was smiling back at her too.
Keiss "really? I didn't see it I guess I was looking at what happened to the aril prison". Cid "well I did saw it when I was able to escape at the last moment".
With Belle, she was finally able to understand Keiss's handwriting just about the first three lines of it.
Belle "all alright it looks like it Keiss told me that I should keep on walking until I make it to the capital shuttle then I should get on it. And I should get off at the next starting point I think?" Once that is done I should meet an old lady at her hotel which where Layle was staying at.
Ok, she folded the paper and put it in her jacket. Then she made her way to the train station.
With Layle he was still walking around town to see if he can find anything to do. But he didn't know that a certain person will be looking for him ever since his disappearance.
Cid "man Keiss if you are that concerned about Belle looking for Layle you can help her".
Keiss "there no way you know how Belle is right? Once she makes up her mind no one can't make her change it". Cid "is that so?" He responded by "saying yes it the truth Cid". Even though it may not look like it she really needs Layle to protect her at all times.
Cid well your right about that Keiss you know having Layle protecting Belle at all cause. "So, what are you planning on doing now Keiss? Just walking out and about until something happens?" Cid said to him. Keiss "maybe or I can if I can you out with some repairs if that ok with you of course?"
"Hmm why not I have been given some orders to build some new fighting aircraft for the Lilty kingdom" he replied.
Keiss well then just tell me what to do. With Belle, she got on the train about five minutes later she made it to the next stop. After that, she got off and did what Keiss told her to do in order to look for Layle. She begins to walk until she saw the old lady that Keiss told her about.
So, she went up to her walks up to the old lady. Belle "excuse me, mam? she lightly shakes her shoulder. Then the old lady turns around and said: "Oh my what a pretty young girl I see right before my eyes". Which made her give a small simile to her.
"Is there anything I can help you out with a young lady?" The old lady asks. Belle "well there is this one thing but I'm sure if you can help me out or not".
The old lady "well then why don't you tell me what you're doing way over here?" Belle "ok" ten mintues later "oh I see so your friend Keiss gives you information on how to find this Layle boy is that correct?" replied the old lady "yes," she said.
"Well this boy did stop by here last night but he left early the next day".
Belle "man that means he must have been long gone by now and it will take me forever to look for him".
The old lady "now, now honey no need to feel sad about your boyfriend leaving you behind". She responded by saying "did you just say that Layle is my boyfriend?" While blushing a little. Then the old lady started laughing and hits her on her back.
"Come on now! Why else would a pretty girl like you go all this way on your own just to look for this boy, and without any help?" Said the old lady.
Then she looked up at the sky oh my is it that late already. Come on! Belle "huh? What is it?" "It getting late and it's not safe for a young girl like you to wander around so late at night who knows what could happen to you" replied the old lady.
"Here you can spend the night here it on the house too," she said to Belle with that she pulled her arm into her hotel.
Belle "All alright but just for the night then I will leave first thing tomorrow morning". With that, she went inside the old lady gave her a key to her room. "Well then if you anything please ask me," said the old lady.
"Ok thank you" was all she was able to say to the old lady.
"Well, then I get out of your way so you can make yourself comfortable" the old lady replied to her.
Belle "thank you" with that she closed the door to her room. When the old lady started to walk away. So, she took off her shoes and jacket she laid down on the bed then slowly closed her eyes and went to sleep.
