*Medusa entered the Opera house and looked around. Luckily it was empty there. For once she was wearing her human looks, with hair instead of snakes. But she was still wearing a chiton, a long Greek traditional dress for woman, and her hair was arranged in an advanced hairdo. She walked around in the hall, looking up at the stone statues and admiring them.*

A dark figure reclined against one of the foyer's several columns, arms crossed.
"May I help you, miss?"

Medusa gasped when she heard the voice speaking to her. Knowing her eyes could turn people to stone, she lowered her gaze and looked down. It made her look shy, something that made her smile.
"Eh, I was just looking... Thank you...."
She stuttered and blushed. At least she hoped she blushed. She wondered if men preferred shy girls. And now she intended to find out. A wicked smile played in the corners of her mouth.

"May I help you... look around?" he asked with a slight grin.
Hans emerged from the shadows, ambling towards Medusa.

Well, at least you won't turn people into stone by looking at them...
Medusa smiled.
"That is very kind of you, Monsieur.... Are all people so friendly here?"
She asked, hoping to sound more innocent than she was.

"Yes, I suppose so. But there are also many who'd hurt you as soon as look at you. Fortunately for you, you met one of the good guys," Hans chuckled.
He flashed Medusa a smile.
"I presume you are new to Paris?"

Those who look at me, turn to stone before they get to hurt anyone...
Medusa smiled, without looking up at him.
"I consider myself to be lucky then. You seem like a good guy indeed."
Still looking down she smiled again.
"Yes, I am new here. I arrived today. I am from Greece."

"Greece?" Hans raised a brow. "Wow. Is it nice there?"

Medusa smiled, thinking of how the Greeks from the mythology had found their way to her hiding place to behead her. She smirked.
"Depends on who you're asking. It can be nice, if you're on the right places."

"I should visit there sometime, then."
Hans abruptly threw up his hands in apology.
"Excuse me. Sorry, I'm Hans. And you are...?"

Medusa smiled and looked down, still not daring to meet his eyes. He was too nice to be turned into stone. But she offered him a small hand in greeting.
"Medusa. Nice to meet you, Hans."

Hans's eyes widened in surprise.
"Medusa? Not the Medusa of Greek mythology?" he asked, both curious and just slightly intimidated. Well, she had said she was from Greece.
"Oh, yes--pleasure to meet you, too."
He shook her hand firmly.

Medusa sighed heavily and rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah. Very funny. You don't happen to have a couple of jokes about my hair as well?"
She added sarcastic as she shook his hand back.

"No, I wouldn't, actually," he stated uneasily.
"You know, I don't believe you could kill me with your hair."

Medusa smirked.
"Well, actually I could. My usual hair consists of live snakes, all very poisonous. The look I have now, is the way I used to look before getting turned into the gorgon. If you know the legends, you would also know that I used to be beautiful once."
