*The girl mockingly shed a pretend tear or two.*
"As if I'd set foot behind those walls."

Erik sighed.
"Well then, I utterly fail to see what you're doing here," he said, exasperated. "I hardly feel like killing you, as we're acquainted, but I suppose I could, as a favor."

*She considered it for a moment, and wondered if letting someone kill you had the same effect of eternal damnation as suicide, if one were to believe these French clerics.*
"Perhaps...you know of a kindly old widow in need of a maidservant?"

There was a moment's silence.
"Does Erik seem like someone who knows kindly old widows?"

*She stared blandly at him.*
"You're telling me that in all the time you had looks on your side before...whatever...happened to you...you didn't forge a single useful connection with anyone worth even half a damn?"

Erik considered this.
"No," he said finally. "Should I have?"

*The girl sighed.*
"...you know, if you're lonely, it's really your own fault."

Despite his apparent mildness up to this point, there were plenty of subjects guaranteed to set Erik off.
"Indeed?" he said, his voice clipped and cold now. "Pray, advise me on the way Erik ought to live his life. He's been doing it much longer than you, and has not your... natural advantages, though he has others. My life is full and rich without the petty concerns of society. And you, my dear, are a slave girl running back to... to what? A crate?"

"My crate is hardly natural, advantage or not. I was not born into slavery!" *she snapped.* "--even you must have had a family."

"I meant your beauty, obviously," Erik snapped back, "though clearly not your personality. I was born into slavery of a kind, too. I had a mother and a father, if it comes to that--but such things do not make a family. Better to have none at all, than such parents as I had."

"You looked well enough last time our paths crossed...what happened?"

((Um, did you assume he was with or without the mask? I'll go either way, I just realized I didn't establish.))
Erik grimaced.
"That was a mistake," he said bitterly. "A cruel hand of fate, dealt by a foolish girl."

"...so cruelty left you like...that...and kindness has left you like...this?"
((Sao Feng is coming to kidnap The Girl because Nadir missed a down payment or something.))

"What?" Erik said irritably. "Make sense, if you're going to talk."
((Okay.))

"Cruelty, you said, made your face fair...so one must assume that kindness has brought you to what you now are."
