Belle & the Fairies

Belle (and actually Neal, too, come to think of it) has had a pretty good relationship with the fairies–though mostly off-screen.

Still, at Archie’s funeral, she’s hugging Blue. Blue’s also helping her cast the protection spell. Archie, arguably an extension of the fairies as Jiminy Cricket, is probably her best friend in Storybrooke. And now she runs to hug Tink when Zelena chases her away from poor Rumple.

Rumple’s dislike for the fairies, especially Blue, makes sense since he partially blames them for losing Bae. So now I’m wondering what he’d think of Belle’s friendships with the fairies. I mean, Belle tends to get along with everyone except dashing pirates who want to kill her and her beloved, but it is interesting what they’ve set up here and COULD explore if they ever actually dealt with little things like that.
