"Should Erik meet any, then, he shall know," *he quipped. His eyes narrowed as he regarded her.* "You are different from other women. Perhaps it comes of being dead. Your lack of fear... it is curious."

*Erik nodded.*
"If you cannot be killed, your fear is worthless. If it keeps you alive, however... it is not so foolish to fear."

*Erik raised an eyebrow.*
"Had I snapped your neck a few minutes ago, had you not been immune, would your lack of fear have served you? Or would it not be better had you left when warning was given?"
*He slipped behind her, placing his cool hands round her neck again, the pressure feather-light.*

"I have been known to be very persuasive," *he said low in her ear.*

"You won't leave Erik's box. Neither will he. Now... we could sit here nicely and take in the opera, or we could do something more interesting. I warn you; I've never been one to sit nicely anywhere."

"Erik is making up for lost time," *he said.* "Do you not find his lack of pretense refreshing?"
