*enters in her usual rehearsal skirt, not bothering to tie her golden hair up before beginning her stretches and, eventually, going over a bit of old choreography she'd done back at La Scala*
I still cannot believe how ballet calms me so. Wasn't that what Maman used to always say to me? "Don't get frustrated, just concentrate on your dancing and all will be well"? Oh God. I've become my mother.
*a slightly annoyed look crosses her face but disappears quickly as she continues her graceful and powerful dancing*
((In case anybody's interested, Meg doesn't know about her mother's death yet...))

((How about Death? Or would he freak her out too much?))

((He'd freak her out at first, but I think she'd get over it.))

*Death oozed out of the corner of the room, building up his form in blackness, tugging his cloak tighter around him, trying to conceal his bony physique and skull. He didn't want to scare the poor thing any more than was necessary. He cleared his throat gently and addressed her softly.*
"Please pardon my intrusion."

*stops dancing and turns toward him, wiping sweat off her brow as she does so and freezing with her arm still above her face when she catches sight of Death*
Who--you--wh--what are you doing in here? Who are you?
*tries to hide her fright and ends up sounding quite angry*

*Death flinched slightly at the bite of her words.*
Um...Death. I took your mother to Hell. Sorry.
"I am a friend, someone who cares deeply for your mother."
*He pulled the hood further over his skull totally looking like stageDonJuan!Erik.*

((Sorry for disappearing for a sec, I was talking to my mom.))
*pulls back further, looking slightly more shocked than scared for a moment*
My mother has a FRIEND? How do you know her? And why are you here now?

*Death turned away slightly from her, his voice calm but with a hint of sadness.*
"She...is a friend of my wife. She helped deliver my children."
*He paused for a moment.*
"And I am here...to offer my condolences...and to promise that if there is anything I can do to help, it will be done."

...delivered his children? Condolences? ...what?
*peers at him*
I...don't understand.

Crap...she doesn't know.
*Death sighed heavily.*
"Please...sit down."
You'll have a shorter distant to fall. It's safer.

*is too confused and frightened to think up a witty response and actually does what he says, sitting cross-legged on the hardwood floor*
*barely above a whisper* What's going on, monsieur?

Ok...how do they normally do this?
*Death's voice was hesitant.*
"Child...I regret to inform you...your mother has passed."
Just don't say 'dead' right? They hate that.

*without thinking* No. No, she didn't. Hasn't. She hasn't.

Why didn't I bring a suit for this? Death, you really can be quite stupid.
*Death approached her cautiously and knelt on one knee in front of her.*
"Marguerite...I would not say such a thing if it was not. Please believe me...I am doing all that I can to help."
