*Christian crossed his arms, fighting back a feeling of annoyance*
"And you have proof of that?" He asked, evenly.

*She snorted.*
"He's a control freak. Of course he told them who to cast, he's done it for every serious opera since he arrived here. Just ask the managers--ask anyone, for that matter. Ask Christine herself. Hell, ask Erik. At this point I don't care if he's pissed at me, I don't work in his Opera house anymore." *She said, examining a cuticle.*

*Christian still kept his voice calm, although his arms stayed crossed*
"You keep calling him a control freak, but I have yet to see any evidence of him being so. The managers certainly didn't look harassed, but I will ask them when I have the opportunity--and Christine, if I ever figure out where she may be."

*Her eyes flicked up to his.*
"Where is she? She's getting married. Something which Erik evidently had no regard for, as he's demanded she star in the Opera anyway. Do you honestly think a newlywed is going to want to sing onstage when she could be honeymooning? Turandot wasn't even on the schedule until you mentioned to Erik that you wanted to play Calaf, so what does that say? Obviously he threatened them into performing it in the first place."

"If they hate each other as much as you seem to hate him, then I'm not surprised that he's unaware of her wedding--why would she tell him about it if they're enemies? And I didn't mention wanting to play Calaf--I only said that I was going to be back in my own Populaire."
*His voice wavered with emotion, and it was obvious that though his stance hadn't changed, he'd gotten more rigid*

*She raised an eyebrow.*
"The fact that I was there as she told him of her marriage makes your hypothesis null and void. In addition, he is far from hating her--he loves her, in his own twisted way, and will stop at nothing to get her. He has no pride or morals when it comes to her--and don't believe that just because he's taken an interest in you, however involved, means he wouldn't jump at the chance to have her." *She said coldly, as if deigning to speak to him. She tossed her hair behind one shoulder, leaned on one leg, and crossed her own arms, in preparation for female battle.*

"Fine, he doesn't hate Christine, but I don't see why he'd waste time on her when she obviously doesn't want to be with him. And you don't know how he feels in regards to me, do you? Have you read his mind?"
*That last question fairly oozed sarcasm*

*She refused to get angry. She absolutely would not waste energy on him. She maintained her in-control stance, cooly delivering her words.*
"I never claimed to have done so, but obviously you haven't picked up on the fact that you're a... how does one say it... consolation prize."
*She paused for effect.*
"And anyhow, the fact that she didn't want him never seemed to stop him before, why should it now?"
*That had been a bit harsh, but even if she never spoke to the boy again (which, if she continued, was rather likely) hopefully she'd planted the seed of doubt.*

"What? How...how dare you..."
*It was spoken softly, as though he'd almost lost his voice. And then, just as softly*
"I think someone is jealous."

*She raised an eyebrow.*
"Odd, Erik is supposed to be brilliant--if you're honestly this thick then I have no idea why he wants you in the first place. I certainly wouldn't." *She said. Once again, a bit harsh. Thank god for acting skills.*

"Oh, yes, you certainly didn't want me, judging from how you kissed me back." *He snapped*

*She laughed cruelly.*
"Well, my actions a month and a trip ago are certainly valid by which to judge me! I should have known you'd be clever enough to bring that up. And if I may remind you, you're the one that began it in the first place."

*He leaned toward her just a bit, one eyebrow raised mockingly*
"You seemed not to mind overmuch, as I recall. But no matter, yes? Let's simply dismiss everything that I say as inconsequential. Even if you were the first one to ask for a kiss. Or did you conveniently forget that?"

*She leaned up, her face close to his, a mocking look on her face as well. Her eyes were narrowed, turned a bright blue by anger.*
"Well, excuse me then, if I stole what was obviously your first." *She said in response.*

"I'm sorry? I DO believe you're referring to yourself, not me."
