*Erik shrugged.*
"Perhaps we are not as alike as was once posited," *he said.* "Of late, Erik has found a great many people interesting."

*She shrugged*
"Erika does not dwell upon it, as any affections are beyond her reach."
*She thought of the girl, again, but brushed it aside. That would only lead to grief, since she'd never see that one again.*

*Erik smiled at her somewhat enigmatically. If he were more reasonable, he might have considered the fact that knowing what she was missing would surely have made things worse.*
"Erik once thought as you do," *he sighed.* "The boy... he does not shy from Erik's true face anymore."

*She stiffened*
"Indeed." She replied tersely. She didn't need to know that.

*Erik frowned.*
"Erik thought the information would please you. That it was possible. If you are like Erik, you have never yet given up hope. But then, it is not so entertaining to be reminded of such."

"No, it is not, especially when the one true object of your desire is giving their desire to someone who isn't you."
*She heaved out a breath, already feeling anger that needed to dispel*
"Back around, in circles. In any case, Erika will content herself with simply listening to his voice."
*She tilted her head to one side, suddenly realizing something*
"As there is a Mr. Daae, is there also a Miss Daae?"

"But Erik is you, is he not?"
*A curious feeling had arisen in Erik, as if... as if he wanted her to know the blessed relief he had. But that was also untenable, as the jealousy that arose at her reference to Christine illustrated.
Circles, indeed.*
"Yes," *he said guardedly.* "But her taste in men is somewhat lacking."

"Erika takes that to mean that you are also cursed with a de Chagny?"

*Erik grimaced.*
"Yes," *he growled.* "Tell me; is yours as foppish and yet brutal as Erik's?"

*Erika made a disgusted sound*
"She is the silliest thing Erika's ever seen, and she can't imagine what in the world Christian saw in her."

"Mine has been married to God knows how many women. And yet he got his hands on Erik's Christine at the last, and abused her. If... if things go back as they were, do not by any means allow him to go with her. No matter how sorely tempted you might be."

"Erika would never let that fool of a girl anywhere near Christian. She would rue the day she broke his heard or did something equally hurtful."

*Erik's eyes darkened with remembered pain.*
"Yes... That is best," *he said. He suddenly thought perhaps she was right. That he had been right, before, to wall himself off from the world.* "Erik was tempted, once, to think better of people. It was a mistake he does not wish for you to repeat."

*She chuckled darkly*
"That is a mistake Erika will not make."

((Then again yours is my doppelganger, and Erika needs to have a OMGRAOULA moment the first time she sees the deWinteress.))
