*Alandra walked into the foyer, still wearing her traveling clothes. She had been called home because her father had been terribly ill and luckily he had gotten better, so that she could return back to Paris.
She looked around the Foyer, expecting to something. No someone. But it was a foolish thing to expect, it had been months since they had met. He wouldn't even have remembered her.
Alandra sighed deeply and turned to leave.*

Berry hummed lightly to herself, feeling quite well today; much better, in fact, than she had in some time. After getting someone to open the door for her, she wandered in, carrying her own luggage and looking around herself.
While doing so, she suddenly realized that she was about to be stumbled over, and quickly moved aside, glancing up at who it was. "Oh, I'm sorry...was I in your way?" she asked sweetly, then noticing how upset this person looked. "Um...are you okay?"

*Alandra looked down at the ..... little pink person and although she was startled by it's appearance she gave it a polite smile. Strange things seemed to always appear at the Opera, no need to get rude about it.*
"I'm fine."
*Alandra replied, but to her horror she realized that she sounded choked up. She cleared her throat and smiled again.*
"Really, I'm fine. Thank you for asking."

Usually Berry would take objection to being called strange, but then there did seem to be people who hadn't seen imaginary friends before. In any case, she was actually interested in this person now.
Hearing her first attempt at answering, and telling immediately that she really wasn't fine (boy, did Berry know how that felt), Berry sighed and set down her suitcases. "Sorry, but you don't sound fine...is something the matter? You can tell little Berry about it!"

*Alandra felt her cheeks flush and she lowered her eyes. Darn it, she had hoped that her emotions would have been so obvious.*
"Oh, I wouldn't want to burden you with such trivial things, ehm ... miss."

"It's Berry." Wait, was the other just unsure about Berry's gender? However, the imaginary friend did look sympathetic, though, and for once it was actually sincere. Hesitating for only a moment, she reached out and gently patted the other girl's leg.
"Oh, it's fine, really. I'm Berry happy to help." She smiled warmly.

*It was odd, but Alandra felt rather comforted by Miss Berry's kindness and although she though it wasn't exactly prudent, she decided to tell her.*
"Well, Miss Berry, I've been away from here..."
*She gestured at the Foyer.*
"... for a quite some time. And before I left there was this .... person."

That was in fact a little odd, as Berry was not normally that comforting, but maybe she'd gotten better? She certainly had calmed down a lot after she'd more or less gotten over her obsession.
Hearing the story, she glanced around and her eyes widened, then narrowed. She got it, alright. "Ohh, I see...and was this person your bestest, most loved one? And did they then ignore you for someone else and abandon you?!" Her eye twitched for a moment, but then she shook herself and recovered. "Er...sorry. I'm alright. ...I'm Berry sorry to hear that."

*Alandra looked at Miss Berry with wide eyes for a moment, before smiling politely again.*
"Well, not really. It was more like, I left suddenly, didn't even say goodbye. And, well I am sure he's just forgotten me. It was really nothing."

Berry nodded, brushing back one "pigtail" and sighing a little. "Yeah...I know how that feels, too. Um..." she hesitated, then looked up with more of a smile. "Well, in the meantime, if you need a friend, I...I could stay around if you wanted me to."

"Really?"
*It seemed a bit odd. Of course, Alandra always made friends easily. It was in her nature. But still.*
"Not that I wouldn't want to, Miss Berry, it's just that you hardly know me."

Of course it might seem odd--Berry was, if anything, overly friendly. At least, to anyone that she liked, and for some time.
"Oh, yes, really!" she replied, giggling, and then tilted her head, look up to wheedle. "Ohh, but I'm an imaginary friend! It's what I do!"

"Imaginary friend?"
*Alandra repeated slowly, her eyebrow lifted almost up to her hairline.*
"Like, you're not real?"

Berry was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly covered it up with another giggle, holding her hand before her face.
"Oh, goodness, no! I'm quite real! I just had to be thought up first!"

*Alandra seemed to be confused for a moment, but then shrugged it off. Miss Berry seemed like a sweet little thing, so who cared if she was real or not.*
"Well alright Miss Berry, I would be honored to be your friend. A girl can't have enough friends, is what my mother used to say."
