***FADE IN***
*There was no way to describe the day Erik had had. He'd had no idea that things like this happened to handsome men. Was the world a buffet dinner every day, to those not cursed as he'd been.
He could kiss that whelp Megan for this.
Now he lay, sated for the moment, and belatedly realized that he hadn't been thinking of anything. His mind had shut off, and he'd been free from the crowded squawking of his brain.*
"This is remarkable," *he said out loud.* "Erik had no idea such things were done so simply."

*Poe tilted her head to him, curious and grinning happily.*
"Well...not all things are done in such a simple manner. If you would like, when you are rested I would be happy to show you some more complex variations."
*Her eagerness seemed unending, but not oppressive. She was just hoping to fulfill her purpose to the existent she was able.*

((Between sexaddict!Erik and compliant Poe, I'm going to have to step in here at some point.))
"You seem very skilled," *he told her.* "Perhaps you will permit a question: what can one do to convince a reluctant female to partake in such activity?"
*Because as nice--as life-changing--as all this was, this woman was not Christine.*

((*sigh* I understand. Otherwise...they might never escape.))
*Poe looked at him curiously.*
"I am afraid I can find no reason that a woman would find displeasure at the prospect of engaging in such acts with yourself. Perhaps something is distracting her from her potential enjoyment?"

*Erik stared at her for a moment.*
"That's exactly what Erik thought. But it is no good, she claims not to love me? Erik does not love you, and yet the act seems to please us both."
*He stood up and began pacing in agitation.*
"Erik is no more nor less than another man! And he worships you, Christine. Yet you deny him everything!"

*Poe's brow furrowed as she watched him pace. She spoke gently, a sadness in her voice.*
"I am sorry, sir. I do not know what it is to love. Perhaps it is that complication that is hindering me from helping you with this woman that you seek to bed. I am afraid I will be lacking if that understanding is needed for it's solution. Please forgive my inadequacy."

*Erik shook his head, attempting to return himself to the present. He felt his anger clench at his heart, and he knew he must quell it if he was to circulate among the living.*
"No matter. You are luckier than Erik, in any event." *He laughed bitterly.* "If only you could teach him that trick."

*Poe stood, unsure of how to comfort him. She walked to his side and took his face gently in her hands, offering a sad smile and soothing words.*
"Sir, it is no trick. It is how I was designed to be."
*She pursed her lips in thought before continuing.*
"But in someways, I am sad for never knowing it. I would like to experience all that I might. I believe that I am missing much in not knowing it. But you do? For this Christine?"

*Erik let her comfort him. Skin-to-skin was a novelty that would not wear off anytime soon.*
"Yes. I do. More than anything. Erik gave... tried to give his life for her. She is my soul, my salvation. Erik can never love another, not even now that he can be loved. When she sings... Oh, we could be so happy! If only she would let us."

*Poe smiled sadly as she watched his eyes as he spoke of Christine. Yes, this love thing was complicated, but there was something in her that wanted someone to look like that when they spoke of her.*
"I can only offer my best wishes that she will see reason and find it in her heart to echo your affections. I don't know what else I might do to help."

"Erik requires nothing. You have been very kind. You have given him something no one else ever has, and he is thankful."
*Perhaps he could even stop killing people, if intercourse became a regular thing.*

((I <3 Erik hardcore.))
*Poe took his hand gently.*
"You are always welcome. And if you should ever be interested in learning new things together., I will be available. I have enjoyed you very much. I hope that you are able to prosper in your seeking of your Christine."
*She smiled and kissed him tenderly.*

*Erik returned her kiss, breaking to look down at her in wonder.*
"Your frankness is much appreciated. You have given Erik a precious gift, and he will remember your kindness." *He smiled, clumsily as if still learning the contours of his mouth.* "Perhaps he will seek your company again."

*Poe smiled genuinely.*
"I would like that very much. Would you..."
*She lowered her eyes shyly.*
"...mind if I call on you at some later point? I think I would very much like to see you. A different time, perhaps when you have worked things out with your Christine. Would I be able to find you here?"

*Erik was touched by her apparent regard for him. He wished he could have been made handsome long ago.*
"My home is in a dangerous place. But if you come here seeking me, I will know it, and come to you."
*He traced the side of her face with a hand, fascinated that she did not flinch away.*
