Javotte was guided through the estate. It was very kind of Belle to do it herself. And the offer of a guide was also very kind and quite, unfortunately, necessary. This new place was nothing like her home and without her eye sight, there was no way she could navigate to the village.

"Your offer is very kind. I would not like to impede any of their duties, but I would appreciate the courtesy." Javotte told Belle solemnly. "For I am afraid I could not find the village on my own." The woman's mouth twisted at mentioning her blindness. The only comfort was the Mistress of the home had not seen under the bandages. Of course neither had Javotte, but she had heard the screams and gasps and felt the gouges and scars that had been left behind. Maybe once upon a time she had been pretty. But now she was horribly disfigured, and loathed to point it out.

Belle gave a sympathetic look towards her guest as she mentioned her own blindness. For it truly had been something Belle had made sure to refrain from mentioned at all. Though if anyone could see past the blindness and bandages, it would have likely been her. After all in Belle's mind, beauty came from within not from the outside.

"No, it's quite alright. There are after all many servants here. I actually am in need of a few things from town, and I am not comfortable going there anymore. It really is no trouble." She tried to reassure her with a slight smile as she lead Jarvotte out of the castle and helped her into the carriage. After making sure she was comfortably inside, she went about getting a servant to help guide her around the town.

Javotte stepped down from the carriage carefully. Even with the additional helping hand she felt awkward. But that was a normal feeling now and she pushed past it. She thanked the servant, male from the voice and hands. He quietly, but firmly, informed her he was going to stick to her side. He didn't give her a time frame, which slightly bothered Javotte, but she knew how to pick her battles.

Javotte tilted her head and felt the sun on her face. If the sun behaved like her sun did, it was a little past noon. The carriage ride down to the village from Belle's castle wasn't quick by any means. Mayhaps if she had been on horse back it would have been quicker. If she could find somewhere for lunch maybe she could ask about her sister. Of course there was a problem of money. Javotte frowned but the servant himself suggested somewhere to eat and he even paid for it. (Belle was very generous).

Javotte, in what must be a restaurant, inquired about her sister. No one had seen her. Most told her to go to Adam's castle. Which wasn't very helpful. Which left her with the option of going to the Enchantress' place. That took her longer to get directions to. Instead she was pointed to another town. She left Belle's servant and gained a ride with a nice farming couple headed back home. The couple insisted she spend the night, which Javotte was happy to oblige.

From there she set off on a dirt track to another town. After that she was pointed to another town and then to a forest. At the forest she was directed to a dirt track that should lead her to her goal. The forest was loud to Javotte's ears. Everything made noise from the trees to the animals. For the city born and breed girl it was unnerving and by the time the dirt track turned into packed gravel, she was frightened and tense.

The sun had set so she no longer had a way to judge time, but she knew it was late and no one was likely to be up. Still, she followed the hard gravel road in hopes of finding some shelter. She found a squat stone wall after a few minutes and happily hugged it. Civilization. Or at least a sign of human life. Javotte felt a little better and stepped away from the wall. She was foot sore and every second she stood still threatened to drag her to the ground.

Javotte choose a direction and followed the wall. Her pale hand gently grazed the wall to keep her path. She hoped she had chosen the shorter direction to a gate and wouldn't have to walk around the entire wall. Thankfully after the thought had passed she did indeed come to a wooden gate. It was shorter than the wall which meant Javotte had no problems unlatching it and walking through the barrier. She closed the gate behind her.

She lifted her head to the wind and sniffed. She couldn't smell anything so she judged the wind was blowing towards the domicile. With that mental picture she turned her back to the wind and set herself looking for a foot path to the door.

"It's a little to the right." A woman's voice said.

Startled, Javotte jumped and let out a little cry. "Who are-?" She started to ask when the other woman sighed. She sounded of age with Javotte.

"No one comes here without good reason. So I'm going to assume that was a rhetorical question." The voice wasn't cruel, just dispassionate.

Still Javotte flinched and she blushed. "You're the Enchantress." There was no response, but there wasn't a need for one, which Javotte was quickly realizing, meant the Enchantress wouldn't answer.
