Erik sighed. She'd scream until he did something. he went to the shore of the lake and swept a skeletal hand across the surface. she'll notice that...

*pops her head out of the water near him*
Oh, Erik! Thank God you're back! Where have you been? Nevermind. Christine's Vicomte was here, he came back! I knew you'd want to know. And there's some idiot rowing around my rock, and I've seen some man wandering around in a red outfit too...they're bothering me. Will you please kill them?

*Shadi, led by River, made their way through dark passages to the darkly shimmering lake. Strange noises echo off the water.*
"Wow," *Shadi breathed anachronistically,* "I had no idea this was here..."

Erik only listened. ah, so Monsieur le vicomte has returned to the Opera?. He nodded to the Siren, "Thank You, I'll....take care of things"

*grins at Erik like a puppy who's just been given a pat on the head*
Oh goody. Things really are so much more interesting when you're here.
*hears someone breathing anachronistically and turns to look*
Erik, did you hear that? Someone's down here! ...I mean besides her.
*hooks a thumb over her shoulder at the girl in the rowboat*

*River hopped into sight and stopped suddenly, her face grew pale and she held out her arm, blocking the way for Shadi.*
"Stop little sister, not alone, we're not alone".
*River closed her eyes and concentrated on her surroundings, it was then that she let out a gasp. She could 'see' a girl in a boot, some kind of mermaid and a man.*

"What is it?" *Shadi whispered. She couldn't see anything but vague shadows and light catching on ripples in the lake. But why would an underground lake be rippling? Who would be down here?*

*River opened her eyes and tried to make no sudden sounds.*
"An lake girl, half fish half woman, a girl in a boat searching for something and....a ghost, a ghost who haunts the opera, alone in the dark. We shouldn't upset him, we shouldn't".

Erik had just turned to leave the shore of his lake when voices carried over the water. If there was one thing he loved about his home it was that he could hear almost everything with surprising clarity. He turned back to the Siren, "see who that is, would you? and take care of things if needed"

*nods to Erik and dives back under the water, speeding gracefully over to the other side of the lake and emerging a few feet away from River and Shadi*
Can I help you two?
*clearly has no intention of actually helping them*

*River looked at the fish-girl and smiled, she would not harm them.*
"We wanted to see the lake, haven't seen lakes like this before, under the ground, this is a special lake."
*River looked at Shadi and then back to the fish-girl.*
"Are you a fish?"

*is visually offended*
I am no fish.
*drives her sword through the Witch-King's head sneers*
I am a mermaid. And what are you? I thought you were a human at first, but on closer inspection I'm not entirely sure.

"No such thing," *Shadi stated firmly.* "I've seen those tricks before. Though, mind you, not in an underground lake where no one can see them." *She ponders.* "What are you doing here, anyway? And who was that man she said you were talking to?"

*River blinked*
"Didn't mean to offend you"
*River looked at the fish tail and turned to Shadi.*
"It's a real mermaid, not tricks."

"Neat!" *Shadi said, impressed.* "I've never met a mermaid before. Seems like it's one thing after another, this Opera House. Next you'll tell me we've got vampires and lesbians!" *She laughed at the thought.* "How long have you been a mermaid, then? That a good gig?"
