"You know, I always thought there was something going on between them!"
*Feels smug for about half a second*
"A neice?"

Yes, she's quite insane. Unlike me, who is just a misunderstood teddy-bear.
*tugs his gloves again, then seems to regain some direction in the conversation*
Why have you returned, Christine?

"I thought it was safe. I thought that I had gotten over the demons of my past, and could begin singing again. It's the one love that has never left me."

*nearly shouts at her in anger*
I never left you!
*pauses and stares coldly again, then continues in a softer and much deadlier tone*
Oh...but I was not one of your loves, was I? I keep forgetting. Just because you were my love - are my love, and always will be - doesn't mean that I was yours.

"I- I'm sorry..."
*As she started to cry, Christine realized that he was doing it again. Playing the victim while manipulating her emotions. She wan't going to fall for that twice.*

*resists the urge to move to her and wipe the tears from her ivory cheeks*
I've hurt her, I've gone too far...I should just leave her now...but no, if I leave her now I may never seen her again...I must keep her here for as long as possible...
*shifts uncomfortably*
Christine...I...I'm sorry I hurt you.

"It's alright."
*Christine regained her composure*
"If I had known that you were alive, and the pain I would cause you by returning, I might have stayed away. But I suppose we can't run from the past all our lives."

You could cause me no more pain by returning than you did by leaving.

((This is weird...I'm starting to feel really guilty))
*Sighs and looks around the foyer*
"You aren't making as much of an effort at hiding as you used to."

((Wheee, go me Gerik!))
We are alone here.
*indicates the barren staircase to demonstrate this point*
And I believe you have seen more of me than most anyone else, so I no longer feel a reason to hide from you. Unless you wish me too...
*steps back toward the shadows from which he came as he speaks*

*Laughs*
"You're asking me for permission? You certainly are different. I...I don't know yet. I don't know my heart."

I could know your heart, if you would just allow me to...
*clears his throat*
Perhaps when you begin singing again, your heart's desires will be revealed.

"Perhaps..."
*Tries to smile*
"Does Madame Giry still work here?"

She does. She remarried. Her husband is a handsome, rich fop. You'd like him.
*chuckles to himself*

*Rolls her eyes*
"Very funny. Were't you the one who talked about not judging people based on their appearances?"
