erik / phantom of the opera / modern au i guess

[masquer]

I beg you, don't waste my time.

I'm refraining from going the cliché route and informing you of how much of a terrible idea this is, as I'm sure you know this already. Why you or anyone would want anything to do with me is still utterly mystifying.

Now. Let me alone or, if you must stay, at the very least stop talking for ten minutes and allow me some peace with my music.

Wait a moment. Just a second ago, you were insulting me.

[whitespirit]

Strange is not always a negative trait. In some cases, I prefer it.

[masquer]

And here I thought you didn't like me.

[whitespirit]

I do not know you. I cannot say whether I like you or not.

[masquer]

...right.

What was the point of all this?

[whitespirit]

I have forgotten. (An easier smile.) My name is Gwenhwyfar and I believe I understood your plight originally, though why you are being difficult is beyond my reasoning.

[masquer]

My name is Erik and I happen to be a difficult sort of person.

[whitespirit]

So I see, Erik. Are you a lord of any sort?

[masquer]

Not that I know of.

[whitespirit]

A commoner, then?

[masquer]

Er. Yes?

[whitespirit]

Are such titles not present in your land?

[masquer]

I don't believe so.

[whitespirit]

Intriguing. Do you know peace there as well?

[masquer]

That would depend on what you mean.

[whitespirit]

A lack of battles or wars.

[masquer]

We are severely lacking in peace, then.

[whitespirit]

Unfortunate. (Despite being an experienced soldier, Gwen has had her fill of battles lately.) Think of this place as a respite, then.
