christine daaé / the phantom of the opera / modern leroux au idk?

[vocalization]

Really? Between classes, shows, and lessons, you expect me to do this? I don't know how much free time you think I have. And you think he's demanding on me.

- Though, I guess he doesn't have to know. So I'll play along. Is there anything else I can do?

I won't tell if you don't.

[daroga]

Do you really think he won't find out?

Forgive me, mademoiselle. I did not mean to make that sound like a threat. I simply mean to say--there is little Erik does not know, once he takes an interest.

[vocalization]

Does he have to? He can't control me completely. [she fidgets as she speaks; she knows that every word of that is the truth.]

[daroga]

He will not know on my account, mademoiselle. I am only reminding you of his peculiar... reach.

[vocalization]

...Thank you.

[A pause. And then:]

How do you know him?

[daroga]

[A short laugh.]

That is a long story. Suffice to say, I know him.

[vocalization]

Only curious. He's never really mentioned other people before. At least, not very often.

[daroga]

I don't doubt it. It was a long time ago.

[la_daae]

[Well.

This is awkward.]

You sound very busy, mademoiselle. [And something about the male mentioned strikes a chord.] Might I ask who 'he' is?

[vocalization]

[OOP.]

Sometimes I don't know how I manage, taking all of it on at once. [she trails off with a grin, and then almost jolts at the mention of erik.]

Oh - he's my vocal coach. And my manager.
