*A could drifted in front of the moon, causing the Foyer to be completely dark. From that darkness there was the sound of feet on the marble floor.
Radu gazed around at the Foyer, his lips twisted into sneer. He had not known why he had been drawn here, to this place. But now, as he smelled the air and picked out that one hated scent, he know.
A growl escaped his lips as the cloud drifted away and a ray of pale moonlight fell on Radu's handsome face.*

*The candlelight cast shadows across the face of Mina, who stood, impassive, beneath one of the arches.*
"Good evening, sir."

*Radu glanced over his shoulder to the woman who had spoken to him and bowed his head.*
"Good evening, mademoiselle."
*There was something odd about her. Radu could not quite figure out what it was.*

*Mina looked him over, slightly curious. He seemed a bit familiar- not in looks, but in manner.*
"Are you looking for someone?"

*Radu now fully turned in the direction of the woman.*
"If I was, would you be able to help me. All alone, in this time of night?"
*He smiled pleasantly at the woman, though there was something very animal like in the way his eyes gleamed. This feral glow which came from his eyes did not take away from his handsome face, no, it made him look even more admirable.*

"Only if I believe your search to be well-intended."
*She opened up her fan*
"And I do not fear the night."

"Perhaps you should."
*His eyes stayed longer on her body then was proper and for a moment something sinister seemed to be crossing his mind. But then Radu looked up into the woman's face and smiled kindly.*
"I do not seek anyone. I arrived in Paris only an hour ago and I decided to walk around and taste the air. Carriages can be horribly suffocating when you've sat in them for a while."
*Radu slowly walked over to the woman, his steps echoing through the empty foyer.*
"But why, might I ask, are you awake at this hour. I did not think it were proper for a lady to be out at night, unchaperoned."

*Mina had seen that look before. The cad.*
Although it somehow seems less objectionable with him...
*Mina shoved that thought from her mind*
"I am no longer a young woman. And I have faced men against whom a chaperone would do little good."

*Radu stopped in front of the woman and brushed some dark hair from his face.*
"I am sorry to hear that. A woman with a beauty as yours should never be exposed to such men."
Men like me.
"Here I go, talking about such villains when I have not introduced myself to you."
*Radu bowed deeply.*
"I am prince Radu cel Frumos."

"Mina Harker."
*She nodded her head in greeting*
"A pleasure."

((Question: Would Mina's scars from being bitten be noticeable for Radu?))
"Likewise."
*Radu replied as he looked back at the Mina.*
"Tell me, Miss Harker, if you wish of course, why you are here? Are you perhaps hired by the opera as a guard to help lost strangers on their way?"
*It was clear, both in his tone of voice and with the smirk on his face that he was teasing her.*
((I gots to go. I might be back later. Bye!))

((Um...okay, but since they've faded, he can tell she's been de-vamped.))
No- by the British Government to find out what those strangers are up to.
"I am a patron of the arts. I have been inspecting the Opera House."

*Radu did not believe the woman, but that was not important right now. People always lie, it was in their nature just like it was in his nature to do so too.*
"And what have you found out about the opera house? I myself think that the front door should be locked at night, lest they want all kinds of ruffians to ...."
*Radu stopped mid sentence. His lips turned into a sneer and his dark eyes glinted with a strange emotion. He had spotted the faded marks in Mina's neck and he suddenly realized why he had thought her to be odd. Though she was a normal human now, she had not always been. His gaze lifted from the marks up to Mina's face.*
"Now isn't that interesting, the man whom you faced left a little mark."
*His nostrils flared and he could smell the faintest hint of a familiar scent. All pleasantness left his face.*
"I never met anyone who recovered from that monsters bite."

*Mina's hand went to her throat. He had seen her marks! Shamed, she turned from him, her cheeks flushing*
"What do you know of this?"

*Radu narrowed his eyes, the feral look once again taking possession of his face. There was something very wolf like in the way he scowled.*
"More then you can imagine.... So this is why you walk around at night, you hope that your former master takes you back. It's foolish, Vlad hardly ever looks back at the ones he left behind."
