Sophia felt her face lift into a soft smile beneath the mask, "perhaps..." she turned, her simple black dress scraping the walls of the narrow passage, "and perhaps we'll see each other again" she began to walk away and disappear into shadow

"Oh. Um, yeah. I'd like that," *Shadi called after the retreating figure.* "Nice meeting you!"
*For a moment, Shadi wondered why she wasn't getting into as many fights. These people must just be way nicer than she was used to. It was a little disconcerting, not being constantly taken advantag of. Except for that swarthy rascal she'd met at the ball.*

Sophia heard the girl yell something after her, but she wasn't listening. Not thinking anyone else was in the passageway, she walked with her head down and was lost in thought.

"And here we have... cellars!" *Alex announced.* "Because what's a haunted opera without... cellars!" Hmm. Wish I remembered where we came from, she thought. This probably isn't what Thayet had in mind...

Erik had begun to leave the two girls, there were things he needed to take care of. Thats when he felt a light body collide with his damnit! he scolded himself for not paying closer attention to his surroundings, he was the bloody Phantom of the Opera, people don NOT sneak up on him. in a movement almost too fast to see he had the punjab lasso around the neck of the offending person. When he felt them lose conciousness he let them fall. no need to kill anyone. He knelt and flipped the person over to check they were alright. Erik felt his breath catch when h saw the black leather mask facing him. He felt guilt wash over him, a sensation he was not accostomed to, and quite frankly, didn't like. Damn you, Erik.... He looked up and down the passage for anyone else, and seeing no one nearby, picked the girl up in his arms, no wanting to leave her to wake up in the cold, moist air of the passage. He could feel her back through the thin dress she wore, she was barely any weight to him at all.

This probably isn't what Thayet had in mind...Thayet looked around, impressed with the size of the subterrainin opera. "Haunted?" she asked. "whatever do you mean?"

*Alex grinned at Thayet's discomfort.* "Oh, you know. Girls will make up stories, won't they? After all, what's a large, opulant, pheremone-steeped building without a ghost or two?" *Alex set out in a random direction.* "You don't believe in ghosts, do you?"

*Shadi overheard that weird boy talking about ghosts. Lost as she was, she didn't see any reason not to have some fun.* "ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh!" *she called, ghostlike. Or at least, that's what she'd heard they did.*

Thayet jumped a little, and then laughed at herself, "a bit...I don't think they're out to harm us though...jsut lsot spirits. " she looked over at Alex, "tell me more about the Opera Ghost,"

"I don't believe in spirits," *Alex said blithely.* "But they say one haunts the Opera. Missing slippers, bad dreams and the like; though if you ask me, the girls are all more than a little intrigued." *Damn mysterious men.* "Takes money, which seems more like thievery than haunting, and--wait a sec--" *She searched her pockets for what little she kept there, and suddenly shot an arm out to snag a rascally dark-haired youth.*
"Oi! Boy, give that back. I'll warrant it was you makin' noise earlier, right?" *She turned to Thayet. "See? No ghosts--just this kid."
"I'm not a kid, I'm a girl." *The urchin looked Alex up and down.* "You should know, eh?"

Thayet covered an amused smile with her hand when the urchin was caught. She ahd seen her share of pickpockets in the streets back home.

*Shadi wrenched her arm from the boy-girl's grasp. She'd pegged this one right away--little lady, off on some jaunt as a lad. Well, whatever; she wasn't going to get in her way.* "Hands off," *she said for good measure. And grudgingly gave Alex back her money.* "What are you two doing down here anyway?"
"Nothing you need to worry about," *said Alex shortly. Suddenly, she grabbed Shadi's chin and angled her face towards the light.* "Hey, where are you from, anyway? You look like that Persian fellow's been hanging around. Doesn't she look Persian, Thayet?"
*Shadi broke Alex's grasp.* "'m from right here, I am! And I do not look like that horrible man!"
((Okay, even though my model's *not* Persian, she is, for my purposes. Um, yeah.))

*Shadi considered the pretty, but kind of condescending, lady.* "I dunno," *she said.* "I don't remember dad, and mum died years ago now... All she said was that dad was a magician. Something about the bedroom, but I don't know what that means. I heard there was a magician, of sorts, hiding down here. So I thought I'd look."
"And pick pockets while you were at it?" *Alex asked, apparently more amused than anything else.*
"Well... yeah."
