Voice Testing an Operatic Songbird

You shouldn't be so ready to take me from the world I know. I appreciate your interest, but matters are complicated enough, don't you think?

I would much prefer your well-wishes for the life I have chosen.

[Mun hopes you forgive them for tagging in.]

Matters are always growing more complicated. [While he wishes her well, he's also jealously wondering what life it is that she's chosen.]

What have you been taken from?

[His world has always been complicated, he rolls with it for the most part, whether or not he 'deserves' it.]

Interesting. Regardless of the face before you now, so too is Erik.

[If only.]

I was to have a living wife if I spared your dear Viscount.

[He has to take a breath, because the Viscount de Chagny is not here, and he could keep the other half of it from her. But she was to be his wife, she was to have his full disclosure as such things should.]

And then I freed you. Because you wept with me. You let me -

[In his world she had not shied from him, had not turned pale or fainted when he'd kissed her forehead. It had been enough to make him happy.]

[His heart simultaneously sings and sinks to his feet when she kisses his cheek. It takes a lion's share of composure not to kneel at her feet again, though tears threaten in his eyes.]

You have been so very kind to me, for all the devil's games I made you play.

[A man so desperate and lonely, he'd far over-reached on that account and had paid dearly for it.]

I can only imagine your father, looking down from on high to see his Christine, and being proud of who you've become.

Earthbound as I am, I can't speak for him, but I do know that I am proud.

[Still, what he wouldn't give to call that smile his. She really is his own Angel of Music, and that glisten in his eyes from earlier grows a bit brighter in return. That someone in this world truly cared what became of Erik, was a gift in itself.]

And I you. [Another time in the past perhaps he would have approached her while her back was turned, but now he holds his feet firmly in place. Uncertain where that line is between them.]

Who takes you, Christine? Your poor, unhappy Erik would never harm you. Tell him who is doing so.

Your wish is Erik's command. [He has his ways of moving about the rabble, but if she has something in mind he's curious. A trait that's made significant trouble for him, but also driven so much of his learning and exploits. That, and he's fairly certain he can't say 'no' to any request she makes at this point.]

There is nothing mundane about the complete loss of privacy and autonomy.

[That is part of the irony in his choice of habitation. To be just below hundreds of people every night and yet still be in perfect solitude. He doesn't travel too much, the last time being to the Daae crypt, but the idea is novel and she has asked it of him.]

Name your time and place. I will be there without fail.

[It's a quaint idea, but it's one of those normal things that deep in his heart he's always wanted to be part of. Not specifically a picnic, but just pretending that he was like everyone else for a day.]

It does. [Pre-dawn also makes it easier for him to move about. He isn't quite certain what he's agreeing to, but he can't help but follow Christine when she beckons. It will likely be a day to remember, however it happens.]

That isn't how this works. They take us away, and then they just... keep us. To entertain them.
