*He very briefly met her eyes before suddenly stooping down and picking up the note that he'd dropped*

*Another glance between them, and then answer*
Firmin: Absolutely. It will be picking up once Magic Flute has had it's run.

*She smiled a bit.*
"How inconvenient--I've always admired the part of Liu, but I of course have rehearsals for my own work, Les Miserables. Have you done the casting yet?" *She refused to look at Christian as she said this, though she knew exactly what Erik would be doing.*

Firmin: Indeed, we have the two principles!
Andre: Miss Daae will be the Princess Turandot, and...er...
*Firmin elbows him*
...MISTER Daae will be Calaf.

*Micaela smiled.*
"Well, I hope they both break a leg, as it were." *She said. She was actually having a bit of fun like this, talking to the managers as an equal and not a spineless grub begging for a part.* "And you will be selecting the rest of the cast from your existing company, I presume?"

*With a small cough, Christian stood up and folded the note, putting it in his shirt pocket*

Firmin: *Glances at Christian and then back to Micaela* Of course, of course.
Andre: Auditions will be soon.

*She nodded.*
"Good luck, then, in choosing the cast. The company is certainly a talented group. Christian," *She said, turning to him.* "I'll see you around. Break a leg. If it doesn't coincide with Les Mis then I might come to see a performance." *She said, her voice with a nearly indetectable edge to it, making it obvious she was quite a bit upset that he had never shown, or at least let her know he wasn't coming.*
*She curtseyed.* "Good day to you all." *She straightened and began to walk out, head high.*

*Muttering something about the how inter-opera relationships don't work out, the two discreetly beat a hasty exit from the auditorium*

*Christian threw a glare at the retreating backs of the managers, then very softly called out: *
"Micaela..."

*She turned, giving no indication of her emotions. Her Irish pride would not be ignored, and it had already been wounded.*
"Yes?" *She said evenly.*

*He ran a hand through his hair, realizing with a panic that he didn't know what to say ((because seriously, the suethor doesn't, either))*
"I was about to visit the Phoenix, when those two appeared. I meant to tell you about Turandot, but I'd been stuck in the cellars--"
Excuses, excuses.
*He sighed*
"I...Erik...that is--"
*He made a frustrated little gesture with one hand*
"I'm sorry for what's happened. I never meant to hurt you."

*She nodded stiffly.*
"Of course. I'm fine--auditions were over about an hour ago; I've decided to cast two company members as Marius and Cosette, and all the other parts are very well-cast. Erik threatened them into offering you a part you couldn't refuse--of course I understand. Were I in the same position, I probably would have acted similarly." *She said, perfectly civilly.*

*Christian blinked at Micaela*
"What? No, he didn't. They heard me auditioning!"

*She sighed and shook her head.*
"No, Christian. Don't be naive. Ask them to show you the notes--you and Christine were both cast before the show was officially announced." *Her voice was much like the one she used with Clara when she was tired and trying to explain something complicated.*
