*Richard's hand slowed briefly as his brow furrowed. His gaze lifted to hers in concern.*
"I do hope that it was nothing too dire. I understand that it is difficult to be away from dancing too long."
And maintain your skill set.

"Not too dire."
It wasn't as though she could tell him she'd spent the past months in a harem in Persia because she'd been kidnapped by pirates and thugs.
"Thankfully, things seem to have settled down."

"That's a relief." *Richard answered, dropping his tape and carefully encircling her waist, doing what he could to minimize contact with her. Then he loosened it slightly to drop it over her hips.*
"And you are glad to be back? Performing, I mean."

Her smile slipped a bit, but she did her best to hide that.
"I don't have a role at present, but I'm hoping I can change that soon."
She wouldn't fool herself, though--she'd showed up and disappeared so many times that she highly doubted she'd be hired back again.

*Richard froze, dumbstruck for a moment. He'd assumed, but...she was in the Opera in such a way that it would be easy enough to do. He stuttered slightly, but managed to continue.*
"Oh! Forgive me. I didn't mean to--well, I shouldn't have assumed."
*He swallowed and quickly turned to not the measurements and make some vain attempt to hide his embarrassment.*

"Oh, that's all right--I was skulking about these halls, it's a reasonable assumption." She said it lightly, like it was a joke.
Well, she HAD been skulking, but not because she was looking for a job.

"Still..." *Richard insisted, as if defending her. Finally, he simply smiled helplessly, looking up to her from messy dark locks.*
"Perhaps it was just Fate intervening."

She returned the smile. He was nice, and polite...and adorable...
Oh really?
She could feel herself blushing, and hoped it faded before he saw it.
"Perhaps so."

*His eyes fell to her bust line, tape limp for a moment as he cleared his throat.*
"Um...if you could...well, lift your arms for a moment. It will only take a second."
*The rapid blinking was a sure sign of his embarrassment at the near proximity of a woman's breasts.*

Sorelli lifted her arms, trying very hard to smirk at his shyness. But it was so cute.
"So, how long have you been a tailor?"

"Um..." *Richard did his best to focus on the question as he moved the tape higher, doing all he could to be quick about it without sacrificing accuracy.*
"About 5 years. I apprenticed...back in London."
*Blessedly finished he turned to note the measurement.*

"What's it like? I mean, an apprenticeship. I've heard all sorts of stories about it."

*Richard glanced back at her, brow arched in curiosity as he approached her again.*
"What kind of stories?" *He queried gently. For really, the whole matter was rather dull, just something that allowed him to indulge in side projects that he found far more interesting.*

"Well, I've heard people say that some masters can be horrible tyrants, running you ragged. I can't imagine anyone would keep students for long if they're so awful to them, which is why I don't really believe it."

*Oh, those kinds of stories. Richard just shrugged.*
"I don't know. I worked long hours, but everyone does. I never minded it."
*He moved in front of her, cautiously measuring lines across her chest were the neckline would be modified.*
"I don't mind the time if the results are worth it." *He smiled up to her.* "And I like to see that they are."
