Xanthe trailed her right hand on the hallway wall, feeling pieces of paint that had started to peel off. Her hand brushed lightly over a knob and curious, cautiously turned it. She inhaled sharply; so simple yet beautiful that it was.
Soft red curtains highlighted a window in front of her. Xanthe rushed to it and threw the curtains to one side. The window had a perfect view of the garden.
"Oh!" she exclaimed in delight. Xanthe looked up and scrutinized the room. White walls, a clean bed, a rather large dresser, and a peculiar oversized mirror in the corner of the room. "Why was it placed here instead of over... there?" She gestured to another area of the room and shrugged.
Xanthe flopped down on the bed, meaning to admire the room while sitting, but instead fell fast asleep.

*pushes the door open slowly and glances around, wilting a bit at the sight of a girl already laying in the bed but entering anyway*
Um, excuse me?
*shakes the girl, glancing around at the rest of the room as she does so*

"Huh--what?" Xanthe rubbed her eyes groggily.
"Oh! Pardon me! Is something the matter?"

*jumps* Scarlett, what are you--oh. Wait. I, um, thought you were someone else.
*notices Xanthe staring at her and averts her gaze, hastily fixing her hair*
Yeah, I can't find any place to sleep. Is this room taken? I mean, is there someone else staying in here with you or could I use the other bed ((that totally just appeared out of nowhere!)), at least until I find someplace bet--I mean, else?

"Oh, but of course! I could never find much use for this much room anyhow. You're free to share this room with me."
Xanthe grinned.

*drops her purse and Ralph Lauren sweater on the other bed immediately*
Great. I'm Emmy Rossum, by the way. *extends her hand*

Xanthe took her hand and shook firmly.
"My name is Xanthe. It's quite a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Miss Rossum."

Xanthe, that's a really unique name. Is it a family name?
*absentmindedly begins rearranging things on the shelves without bothering to ask Xanthe if any of it is hers*

Xanthe's eyes widened slightly at the impoliteness of this Emmy Rossum.
"My mother held an interest in unusual names; Xanthe is Greek for 'golden'. What of your name, Miss Rossum? Emmy does not sound like a name of this era."

Oh, it's short for Emmanuelle, but that always seemed too formal for me. Emmy sounds much more friendly and approachable, and that's much more me. Almost everyone calls me Emmy, or some people call me Emmy Grey, and Placido Domingo used to call me Bella!
*giggles fakely and plops down onto the other bed*
So, Xanthe...do you have a part in the next production?

Xanthe smiled and feigned laughter, pretending to know who Placido Domingo was so as not to feel out of place with the young woman.
"I'm afraid not. You see, I've only arrived here a few weeks ago. You, Miss Rossum, on the other hand, look very much talented and a professional. ((*snorts*)) Perhaps you are the lead in the opera?"

*closes her eyes and bows her head modestly, laughing softly*
Oh no. Not yet. I just arrived recently too, so I haven't even had a chance to audition or anything yet. I did speak with the managers and they seemed to like me, but Madame Giry...well, she and I didn't hit it off on our first meeting. I'm hoping things will go better next time.
*kicks off her shoes and suddenly realizes she has brought no clothing with her*
Um...geez, I have nothing else to wear.
*motions to a dresser against the wall*
Is the stuff in here yours, or was it left in the room from before?

"The things in there were in the room before...although, I'm not sure that we should take them out, Miss Rossum," Xanthe added as an extra precaution.
"One never knows where it's been or who's worn it."

Oh please, call me Emmy!
*smiles, but ignores the girl's suggestion and dives into the nearest drawer, pulling out a white lace dressing gown embroidered with the initials 'C.D.'*
*running her fingers over the letters* Hmm, I wonder what that stands for...wait. Could it possible be--? No, no, that's silly. *shrugs and begins changing into it*

*Opens the door.*
What... oh sorry...
*Stares at Emmy.*
