[Erik has been following this girl who claimed to be his student during his first journey on this ship. A journey that our Opera Ghost doesn't remember taking. She lives an interesting life, for certain. He finds his target once again in the library, and he watches her intently. Maybe it's time he's gotten to know his new student just a little more. She'll keep him occupied until he finds Christine.

When he talks, the words echo across the room.]


Anna...

[Anna's currently curled up in a chair, idly flipping through the pages of a book. She's only partially interested in it - she's still in a lot of pain from her encounter with Pyro, and she's clad in a deep purple turtleneck and a dark pair of jeans that do very well with hiding the bandages on her arms and torso.

She looks up, closing the book with a snap at the sound of her name. She knows that voice, she's heard it before.]

Ah...Erik? Are you there?

[asoutcastshear]

I am always there.

[Singing songs in your head. He's definitely not a stalker, okay? Okay maybe he is a little.]

You are well, I suspect?

[He's still hiding, mind you. His voice is echoing, almost like he's singing.]

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

I remember.

[It's kind of hypnotizing.]

I am...better, yes. And...you?

[She's twisting in her chair, trying to see where he is./i>]

[asoutcastshear]

I am well, all things considered.

[She won't see him. He's pretty well hidden.]

Better?

[See this is what happens when he doesn't follow you around constantly. He's going to have to start doing that.]

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. Better.

[She's still looking anyway. Come oooout.]

I had a bit of an accident - but everything is much better, now.

[asoutcastshear]

...

[He'll find out about that later. Right now...]

Will you sing for me?

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

[She's actually really glad that he isn't pressing her for it now.]

Ah, oui-! Of course I will.

[Singing is something that puts her in a good mood, makes her feel better - so she's happy to expend her energy and sing for him. It's beautiful too - there's very clearly some Erik training in there, as well.]

[asoutcastshear]

[Erik listens. He's very pleased. As a matter of fact, if Anna looks on the table where she's put her book, she'll find a rose with a black ribbon tied around the stem has mysteriously appeared.]

You have wonderful talent.

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

[She only sings like THIS for you, Erik. Anyone else who has heard her sing can easily say she has a beautiful voice, but only Erik has heard her true vocal range.]

Ah, merci! It is because of you, oui? [She glances to the side, and reaches to brush her fingers over the rose that has appeared. He has left her these before.]

[asoutcastshear]

[Erik still finds it hard to believe. But it must be true. He can hear it. The proof is most definitely there.]

So it would seem. Perhaps you really were my student.

[dormant-beast.livejournal.com]

I was, yes.
[She leans back in her chair with a quiet and happy sigh.]

I am glad you are back, Erik.
