Belle studies magic.
It's tricky. Getting into and out of her rose-sphere is routine after a few days, but she still hasn't uncovered an explanation of how channeling works, though she's been informed that there are three options for how to do it (by herself, through a willing helper, or through an unwilling helper). Unlike the fourfold options for reaching the Dreamworld, this does not tell her how to begin fumbling towards a practical understanding, even though she can rule out the last one just on the basis of its description.
Beast can only do so a tiny bit of reading per day, and her pile of books that she can read shrinks much faster than his. She combs the library for multilingual dictionaries, so she can pick her way through the titles of the foreign-language books and at least prioritize them before handing them over.
Finally something in an obscure language that even Beast can barely read - Belle has to look up a lot of words - explains the channeling in a way she can understand.

"You've been around a naked man for a month now," he points out. "Just a very fluffy one."

"Yes, I know. The fluff makes a difference. Your human form does not have it."

"It's hardly your fault." She holds a book up so it blinkers her on that side, and resumes reading.

"Well, I could look at you if you stood partly behind something," she points out.

"You really do have a nice smile," she says, and she returns to studying.

She permits a few seconds more of distraction from her study, and returns her attention to enchanting.
