Christine heard the crunch of Erik's boots on the gravel, and soon she could
see them before her, less than a metre away. She looked up, and because he
was so...
... furrowed slightly in thought. Her first instinct was that it would *not* be the best idea. What would Raoul say if he learned that Erik was teaching ...
OOC: *hangs head in shame* I'm soo sorry about my long absence. Suffice it to say, life as been...busy. Anyway, as promised, Ruth, Suzette is back! ....and...
Christine smiled briefly at Erik's words. No harm would come to Philippe
while in Erik's care, he had said. That hadn't been the reason she had
hesitated....
... I can teach your son, and nothing will harm him while he is in my care. Philippe need not know anything beyond what you choose to tell him of me." *snip* ...

Christine thought that perhaps Erik had to try consciously to not say her

Completely unaware that Erik had in fact encountered Suzette in the halls of
the Opera House earlier that day, Christine merely nodded at Erik's words,...

Christine was a little saddened to hear that her dressing-room had not been
used since she had left, though in a way it was also quite flattering, the
idea...
"Then I believe I shall go tomorrow morning," she said after a pause, "I do wish to see it again, even if everything is covered. I am sure Suzette would love...
OOC: Oh, Alex, please forgive the slight control ... I just wanted to set
the scene and move it along a little. Sorry. I'm thinking that Suzette

OOC: No! I can never forgive you! Never!!! *cries* you've moved my character! *giggles* you know I'm cool with it girl ^_~ BIC: Suzette had a little bounce to...

The office of the managers of the Opéra Populaire had always been
immaculately kept, and the current managers would be no exception. Messieurs Julien Allaire...

A frown crossed Monsieur Allaire's face as the voice of the messenger
filtered through the door to them, sounding quite urgent, wanting them to
come take a...
