I cooked you a chicken...gave you both the wings...and now how you've repaid me--not banged me but betrayed me. He was bound to love you when he heard you swing...((between Jellicle and human, that is...)) ((I seriously just burst into a fit of giggles XD XD XD)) Dominic narrowed his eyes at the fuming Nadir. "I beg your pardon?" he said coldly.

"I'll not let you harm this girl again. I'd say she's already suffered enough at your hands, hasn't she?" *Nadir removed his own cloak and draped it around Bonnie-Marie's shoulders so she could leave the curr's coat behind.* "Come my dear, let's get you inside." *He turned to the managers.* "How could you let something like this happen? I demand you have this man removed from your employ at once!"*He took Bonnie-Marie's hand to lead her back into the Opera House.*

"Harm her!?" Dominic said in disbelief. "How on earth did I harm her? I'll remind you that you showed up just minutes ago, so even if I had been hurting her, you obviously wouldn't have been here to witness it."

*Nadir puts a protective arm around Bonnie-Marie's shoulders.* "That was just your plan, wasn't it? Then perhaps have her suffer a tragic fall afterwards so that no one would ever know!" *He glared indignantly and righteously at Dominic.* "What made you think you could put your hands on this girl?! Look at me, you filth! What did you think you were doing?!" *Heavy in Nadir's pocket is the la Couer de la Mer necklace he had planned to give to Bonnie-Marie that evening as a gift--the blue diamond from his homeland--passed through the centuries into his family--part of the Mongolian spoils his father, Genghis Khan, had thrown at his mother, a noble Persian beauty, to keep the son she had born him a secret. The ruthless but brilliant conqueror had raped Nadir's mother, resulting in his mother's everlasting shame and Nadir's own life. The Persian's lip curled as he looked, hawk-like, at the younger man, the reknowned cruelty of his famed but secret father shining in his eyes as he imagined the things he'd like Dominic to suffer for what he had done.* I will never respect men like my father, who force their depraved selves upon innocent women this way...

Dominic was normally an easy-going person, but Nadir's accusing words had his blood boiling. Dominic's eyes were like turbulent blue-green seas and the corded muscles on his body were tight and tense. He was very aware of his naked torso and he bent and swiftly pulled his shirt over his head.
"I may be a mere stagehand," he said from behind his gritted teeth, "But I'm not cruel, and I'm not callous, and I would never deign to insult and ruin a woman by forcing her without her permission. You'll find that if you consult Bonnie-Marie, she'll assure you that her intentions matched mine."

*Nadir heard a roaring in his ears at Dominic's words. As much as it pained him, he turned to Bonnie-Marie, desperately not wanting to believe a word Dominic said.* "Mademoiselle de Chagny..." *he said, his words suddenly clipped and formal.* "Is...is this true? You couldn't have...have you?" *His voice dropped to a whisper only she could hear.* "My Angel..." *he said, his voice a heartbroken hiss as his wide, dark eyes desperately searched her face for any kind of denial of the stagehand's foul accusations.*

*eyes wide as frying pans*
Angel...I...I don't understand why you're so upset. I mean, yes, I did...Dominic and I...yes...but...does this mean you're not going to teach me to cook anymore?!?
*is truly panicked by the thought*

*Nadir's hands dropped lamely to his sides. He shook his head mutely, turning to leave once more, a single tear snaking down his face. He reached into his pocket and withdrew the 56 carat blue diamond necklace.* "This was for you," *he spat, throwing it to the ground at her feet.* "May it bring you the happiness you brought me, even if for so short a time..." *In a dark billow of his overcoat, he was gone, leaving Bonnie-Marie with his cloak.*

Dominic stared after Nadir, then glanced at the sparkling jewel he had tossed down, then up at Bonnie-Marie.
"Bonnie-Marie, are you alright?" he said slowly, extending a comforting hand to her. "Why did he get so upset? Was there something... between you?"

*With a crack, the door was flung open and once more Nadir stood on the threshold.* "All right, Dupont, outside." *He looked around the rooftop, avoiding the gaze of the managers.* "Or here is good."

Dominic turned his head slowly in Nadir's direction, his eyes like blue-green fire. "Should I get out my dueling pistols?" he said sarcastically, his voice dripping with contempt.

*The sun flashed off Nadir's golden-brown eyes, shining like the copper and gold shields at the battles his ancestors had fought. He strode over to Dominic, his muscles rippling under the fabric of his shirt--he had divested himself of his jacket and waistcoat, and wore only his boots, breeches, and the billowing white shirt that lay open across his broad, muscular chest, thick with dark, curling hair.* "I should've done this days ago..." *he snarled, ready to avenge Bonnie-Marie's honour.*

Dominic stood his ground as the older man approached. He spread his hands and coc-ked a dark eyebrow at Nadir. "Done what?"

(("thingeyed." *snickers*))
"This." *He gritted his teeth savagely and his fist landed on Dominic's strong jaw with a resounding crack.*
