Dominic wandered down to the kitchens, the aroma of cooking food wrapping around him. He was absolutely starving; he had been up early that morning moving scenery, and the heavy work had given him an appetite. He knew one of the cooks from his childhood - a friendly, bustling woman - and she could always be counted on to hand him a quick snack.
"Have you got anything tasty for me today?" he called out teasingly as pushed open the double doors to the kitchen, expecting to see a cook at the stove - and stopped dead as he saw the same tall foreigner as up on the roof, clad in only his pants and shirtsleeves, holding a grape towards the full lips of... Bonnie-Marie!?

((*is still a human in this thread too, by the way*))
*steps back in surprise at the sound of the door opening and is completely unaware of how awkward the situation is*
Hello, Dominic! My Angel of Food was just teaching me how to make dessert! *notices the look on his face* What's wrong? Oh no, what did I do? *panics and tears up* What's wrong? I'm sorry, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to cook!

*Nadir smiled calmly, unperturbed by the young man's sudden appearance.* "You've done nothing wrong my dear--as I am sure our friend here will agree. France is a free country."

*Georginana stumbles in looking confused.*
"Is this the kitchens?"
*Notices everyone else*
"Hello Nadir, Bonnie-Marie and ....?"

((I hate you all.)) *Nadir turned to Georgiana and poppedthe grape into her surprised mouth.* "Mademoiselle de Chagny! A pleasure to see you so soon after your last meeting! Will you be joining us in our cooking lesson?"

*is calmed by her Angel's soothing words, and perks up again when Georgiana enters the room*
Hello again, Georgiana! This is Dominic!
*hops off her stool and stands next to him, making a Vanna White sort of pose*

*Georgiana smiled briftly at Dominic and then gazed back at Nadir like a puppy dog*
"Oh could I"
*She began excitedly*
"I have never learned to cook!. Not that I had to. I would have liked to... it is difficult always being proper and ladylike...."

Dominic stared at the commotion, unable to think of a sensible word to say.
"Bonnie-Marie?" he said slowly, taking in the sight of her very-human self. "What... what happened?" He glanced around at the other two people watching them. "Can we... maybe talk outside for just a minute?"

*Georgiana nodded and blushed. She moved toward Nadir.*
"Oh no, don't worry about us."
*She tried out a name that came across as very husky unusually in her innocent state.*
"...Dominic"

My Angel of Food is going to give another girl cooking lessons? But, but...that's not right! I can't let this happen, I can't leave now! Oh, but Dominic wants to talk to me, and he looks upset. Which one should I go with? Curse my indecisiveness!
*follows Dominic to the door, glancing back at the other two over her shoulder sadly, her chocolate eyes full of anxiety*

Dominic saw the indecision warring on Bonnie-Marie's face and wondered just how much Nadir meant to her. Of course, it wasn't really any of his business - but he wanted it to be. Despite the fact that they hadn't known each other long, despite the fact of... well, what she had turned into... he couldn't forget the way she had looked in that morning's sunrise, with the dawn's glow on her face and her hair rippling in the breeze, and the way their eyes had locked as if they were the only ones in the world...
After a moment, she started towards him, and she followed as he walked out of the kitchen. Outside the doors, he turned back to face her. He looked down at his boots for a moment, then down at her lovely, upturned face.
"Bonnie-Marie," he began slowly, "I know that we've just met, but..." He paused, then decided to be frank.
"What in God's name happened this morning? I won't lie, I was shocked..." He shook his head disbelievingly. "Shocked is hardly the word for it. I was stunned. But," he continued more gently, taking a small step towards her, "not disgusted.
"I don't know what you are, but I don't think you're a freak, or a monster, or..." He waved his hand, lacking better words to explain himself. He rubbed his brow, then glanced back up at her.

*bursts into tears. The real kind. The kind that make your face go splotchy*
Ohhhh...
*clenches her hands into tiny fists in frustration and looks down, humiliated*
I...I don't know what's wrong with me! It's always been this way! We...my family...no one knows why it happens! That's why I've always been kept at home, and why I had to take ballet lessons from my butler, Jeeves, in our attic! No one was ever supposed to know what I was, and now my life and my family's reputation will be ruined forever!
*suddenly lifts her head, a sad and determined look in her eye*
I'm going to throw myself off the roof like Keita and Selena did!
*turns and starts to run off down the hallway, shouting back*
And don't you try to stop me! This world will be better without a freak like me in it!
((All together now: OH TEH ANGST!!!1))

"Bonnie-Marie - wait!" Dominic shouted after her. When he realized she wasn't stopping, he took to his feet and chased her to the roof.
((Erm... I'm assuming we'll "meet up" there...))
