*Melpomene sat in a corner, cleaning the floor and whistling a tune to herself. It was an old lullaby her mother used to sing to her, but over time Mel had forgotten the words.
Her hands started to get sore, but she kept on brushing the dirt of the floor.*

*Bored while waiting to be called back to the studio, Gav wandered about the opera house until he found himself backstage. He hadn't expected to see anyone here at this hour, but there was a girl, scrubbing the floor*
"'ey there." He greeted her amiably.

*Mel was startled by the boys sudden appearance and in a clumsy move she nearly tipped over the bucket. Luckily she caught it before it fell, but some amount of water did slosh over unto her lap.
She cursed under her breath and looked up at the boy with an accusatory glare.*

*He gave her a sheepish grin*
"Sorry 'bout that, I didn't mean to startle you."

"Yeah, well you did."
*Mel replied, lips still pursed into an angry pout. She turned back to the floor and started scrubbing it again. Her hands turned redder and her skin began to crack in some places.*

"Hey," he said, seeing the effect her work was having on her.
"You might want to ease up on that."

*Melpomene looked back up at the boy and then down at her hands.*
"Not again."
*She muttered wiping her hands on her skirt. There was a trace of blood on the filthy fabric.*

He blinked.
Again?
"I hope they aren't working you too hard."

*Melpomene grabbed the bucket and got to her feet, swaying a little. She glared at the boy again.*
"What are you even doing here?"
*She asked, irritated and also a bit scared.*

*He held up his hands in a defensive gesture*
"Hey, I was just getting myself acquainted with this place. Just wanderin'."

"Well you shouldn't."
*Mel replied as she brushed some pitch black hair behind her ear.*
"The Opera is a dangerous place to be wandering in."

"If you don't want to believe me then don't."
*Melpomene turned her back to the boy and started walking down the hallway, buckling under the weight of the bucket.*
"See if I care when you get killed."

*He rolled his eyes, even though she couldn't see it*
"Gee, excuse me for being curious about this place and trying to be friendly to you."
*He turned in the opposite direction, glancing up at the rafters as though daring them to contradict his skepticism*

*Yeah sure, he was being 'friendly'. There aren't any friendly people in the world, just people who wanted to take advantage of you. Melpomene looked over his shoulder to the guy. There was a sad look in her eyes now.*
"Well .... don't be."
