*Poe wandered the halls asking the employees she found politely if they could help her find a young woman named Christine.*

((O RLY?))
*Christine turned upon hearing herself asked for*
"I answer to that name."

((YA RLY.))
*Poe stretched out her hand.*
"Salutations then. I am Poe. I would value a moment of your time, should you be free."
((Unfortunately, I have to go, but hope to sneak on later.))

((NO WAI!))
*Christine shook her hand tentatively*
"I'm free now. What is it you need?"

*Poe smiled happily.*
"I would like to discuss some matters of affection. There are some things I do not understand and I believe you will be able to help."
*She stared for a moment before remembering something she had overhead at Dahlia's. She leaned in and whispered knowingly.*
"Girl talk."
*She straightened and tried to remember to blink at the appropriate intervals.*

*Christine was a bit confused. Still, she remembered to be polite.*
"Alright."
*She pulled out two chairs*
"Would you like to sit down?"

*Poe nodded and sat.*
"Thank you."
*She suddenly realized that this was going to be more difficult than she initially expected. Humans needed a point of reference, a way to relate. She tried to think of everything she knew about Christine. Which wasn't much.*
"I understand that you have a erstwhile fiance."

"Well-"
*She shifted in her seat*
"I'm not sure if we're still together or not."

*Poe's brow lifted in curiosity.*
"Then are you currently without a mate?"

*Christine raised one eyebrow*
"Did Erik put you up to this?"

*Poe shook her head.*
"No, mademoiselle. I offered to come of my own volition."

"But it is because of him?"

*Poe wasn't quite sure what the inflection in the woman's voice represented. She answered plainly.*
"I do wish to speak to you of his merits, yes."
*Her brow furrowed slightly.*
"It is my understanding that he holds the deepest of affections for you, but perhaps there are past sins that might way against his qualities as a potential partner."

Not again. How many times are girls going to tell me this crap?
"If by past sins you mean threatening to blow up the Opera House if I didn't marry him, then yes, there are."

*Poe looked interested, but not deterred. Her voice was calm and her words plain. She was very curious.*
"If you have the time, could you please explain what these sins are and why they prevent you from developing feelings for him? Perhaps then you might see that his merits will outweigh this other things. Or I might be able to offer him a list of his deficiencies and it would aid him in becoming a more compatible partner. At the moment, I only understand that he holds you in the deepest regards. He gave me the impression that you have a beautiful soul. I cannot understand why you would want him to suffer so. Maybe you can explain it to me. I would appreciate it very much."
