Slender hands push open the doors of the Opera Populaire, squinting as a gust of wind greets her. It was rather miserable out, but luckily, it did not affect her sleek hair, that always remained in place no matter what the condition. Why, even when she woke up there was rarely a strand out of place.
Her golden brown hair aside, she decided to focus on the foyer in front of her. In a way it was rather creepy, but she would never let anyone know that. Was anyone around, or was she all alone for today?

*Raoul rode to the gates and gave his horse to a groom. He entered the foyer briskly and looked around nodded to the servants.*
"You cannot find those blasted managers anywhere!.Excuse me do you know where they are?"
*Raoul approached the confused looking girl in the corner.*
My, she is a beauty.

I suppose "alone" is not an option, she thought as she gave him a small smile out of the urge to be polite to such a powerful gentleman. "Quite honestly, I have been out all morning and I have just returned now. Perhaps they would be in their...office?" Avril brushed a lock of her hair behind her ear and smoothed her dress when she thought he wasn't looking. After all, she had only been a dancer at the Opera Populaire for a short time, having only seen the Vicomte once or twice. Something told her it was important to make a good impression - just in case.

*Raoul turned around double taking at the stunning women*
"Ah yes. Unfortunatly I have completely forgotten what I wanted them for. Do I know you?, you look vaguely familiar"

Why is this man so interested in an ballerina? her thoughts invaded her mind bitterly, but the smile remained. "I suppose you have seen me once or twice, but I have only been here for a few months," Avril shifted her packages from one arm to the other. They contained some essentials as well as some superfluous items that she managed to afford on her meager salary.

*Raoul smiled indugently*
"Perhaps. Those packages seem awfully heavy. Can I help at all?"
*Raoul reaches out his arms to take some from her.*
"Sowhere do you work mademoseille?"

"Oh, please, it is no bother," she said, referring to her bags. Quite honestly, she could carry them herself, unlike most of the women from her time.
"I am a ballet dancer here," her tone was easy and calm, but her mind was growing bored. All she really wanted was to retreat back into the dormitories where she would not have to make such sweet appearences with rich strangers. "A chorus girl, to be more specific." Avril was nothing if not intelligent.

"Well, if you are sure.. A dancer you say?. I'm sure I recognise you from the stage then!. You are the one who seems so in tune with the music!"
I always thought she was just an illusion.. never really real
"Have you eaten?. If you havent you must come and dine with me and tell me more aobut yourself"

Avril considered the handsome Vicompte. He was rich...powerful... and not particularly bad looking either. A dinner with him would be perhaps beneficial to her getting ahead at the Opera Populaire. Hopefully he would at least show some sort of interesting conversation. "I would be delighted!" she exclaimed happily, voicing her inner opinion.

"Very well..."
*Raoul offered his arm*
"Shall we proceed?"

What a strange image they would make if seen together! Nodding slightly, she took his arm and allowed him to lead her wherever he saw fit.
