My lord should trust in the council of a woman, should he e're seek the companionship of another in his bed.
*So Beatrice had said, and Richard was intent on following her advice. It was all he had. The Opera had women in it, didn't it?*

*Raoula sat in a window seat idly flicking through a book. Really the Operahouse was very dull if you were not involved in it's productions.*

"You!" *Richard cried, pointing and shouting.* "You're a woman!"
*He limped up to her.*
"How does one bed a woman who professes indifference but whose actions speak confusion?"

*Raoula looked up blankly at the man before registering his words.*
"Well it depends, do you want her to like it?"
*She raised an eyebrow.*
"Because otherwise, pretty obvious."

*Richard frowned.*
"It is most displeasing that my current desires do seem to insist that she does," *he said.* "I cannot explain it, but her displeasure displeases me."

"Well, that is a bad start. You can't care what they, I mean we think." *She shuddered.* "Empathy is the first step to apathy in their eyes."

"Then I must be more disagreeable?" *he queried.* "She detests me already."

"Well yes but you see you have to get her to hate you to the point that she likes it." *Raoula crossed her legs under her.* "No woman likes to be bored."

*Richard pondered this. He had to admit, it sounded attractive. And like something he could do.*
"Certain are you that this works? It doth counter the intuitive."

"Exactly. The intuitive is not getting you laid now is it?" *She paused.* "Also, seeing other women helps. Makes them all jealous and needy."

*Richard nodded.*
"The fires of jealousy do burn bright in a woman's breast," *he mused.* "But with such a shape as I have, the procurement of yet another woman for use as bait is troublesome."

"You haven't been here very long have you?"
*Raoula sighed.*
"Women like that are everywhere."

"Pray, do not mock me," *Richard demanded.* "I know well my form is unpleasing. That is causeth women and children to quail and turn their faces. No woman loves me, when there are fully formed men to compare."

"You are not that bad." *Raoula studied him.* "Besides there are plenty of whores around if you can't just find a loose woman."

"Think ye so?" *Richard mused, flattered. Though he knew it was not true.* "T'would have to be a whore she knew not by sight to be one."
