*Arielle avoided meeting Raoul's eyes, but accidentally looked into Marianne's. The pain in her eyes was shocking. She quickly looked down at the floor before speaking again.* Well, then. Why don't you tell me about how your child is doing, since you must be raising her? How is burying Anneke going? *She looked up again, finally meeting his gaze and trying to keep her icy glare strong.* And were you ever planning to tell me that you were married to Marianne, or were you hoping that someone else would do it for you? Were you so cowardly that you couldn't face me? *A hint of a cold smile appeared on her face.* Have you told your darling wife about your attempt at suicide?

*Raoul leaned back trying to take in all the comments.* Um well.. Marianne knew about Anneke and was wonderfully supportive.*He smiled charmingly at Marianne.* The fact that she died was very sudden and yes my child is being looked after.As for my suicide attempt. *He shook his head sorrowfully.* Dark,dark times. I can't remember what happened as straight afterwards I was stabbed and my angel saved me.

*Arielle sighed, accidentally meeting Marianne's gaze again. She couldn't hide the raw pain in her eyes. She stood very straight, knowing that Raoul could deny everything at his leisure and that she could never prove anything.* Very well. If you insist on lying, I will leave you to it. But you can have your cheap ring back- *She dropped it on his head*- and know that I will never speak to you again. If you are lying in the desert dying of thirst, I will laugh as I walk past you as I drink water. *She walked over to the door, then stopped and looked back.* And you may impress as many people as you like with your money, position, and charm, but you will never win the respect or love of those you hurt, or even sometimes their friends. *She turned and left, staying very tall and dignified as she closed the door behind herself.*

*Raoul waved a hand and looked at Marianne.* Totally out of her mind. I feel sorry for the poor girl really I do.

Marianne stood very still, and very straight. Her eyes were unreadable as she stared at Raoul, the only movement the rise and fall of her breathing and the almost imperceptible shimmer of tears in her eyes. "Who are you?" she whispered suddenly. "Who are you really, Raoul? After all I've heard..." she added slowly, her voice rough and disbelieving, "I don't think I really know you."

((Argh!! Hasn't anyone noticed Lune's still in the room?? >_<))
*Lune was really confused by all of the things Arielle said, but she couldn't say she wasn't surprised. When Arielle left, she quickly got at her feet and hurried after her.*
"Arielle, wait!"

*Raoul paused, then grinned,* Wait!, This is about the whole carrot thing isn't it?

Post by Susanna on Aug 22, 2006 15:22:55 GMT -5
Susanna was exploring the opera house only for a few minutes until she became lost. She was in a room with simple yet beautiful decor.
Susanna was in her day gown, light and elegant with lace and delicate trimmings. Her long, dark, velvety hair was let down and it cascaded down to her lower back. Her eyes were wide with curiosity and were a dazzling hazel. She lightly bit her blushing lips and cautiously entered the room.
"Hello?" she called out, "Is anyone in here? I'm lost and I was wondering if you could help me find my way back to the dormitories."

*Raoul jumped to his feet.* Of course!. This way.*He took he arm and pulled her out of the room shutting the door behind her. He turned to Marianne and mouthed* We'll talk.*He opened the door again and followed Susanna.*
((Will start a new thread.))

Marianne stared after Raoul for a long, long moment. Then she silently left the room.

*Arielle burst into the empty room and collapsed on the floor, still crying from what she had learned in the infirmiry* The baby...my baby...Teddy... UGH! Why is is that one lthing leads to another, then another, and another, until my entire life is a gigatic ball of angst? WHY CAN'T I LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER FOR 5 SECONDS WITHOUT SOMEONE DYING?!?!?! *She buried her face in her hands, still sobbing*

*Teddy ran in, pausing in the doorway as he spied Arielle's crumpled and sobbing figure. Moving more slowly now, he went to her and knelt beside her, gathering her into his arms and pressing his lips to her hair, letting her cry into his vest.*
