[Raoul isn't terribly good at keeping his word when said word doesn't suit him, like the one about leaving the Phantom alone if left alone in return. Habit sees him listening in (or reading in, as it were) on Erik's broadcast and making his way to the library as well.
He moves slowly and quietly, moving behind the farthest bookshelves to a spot where he can see and hear. When he gets to that spot... suddenly, it's just like the night of Don Juan Triumphant. That voice is just as hypnotic as before, but Raoul knows the danger of being ensnared by it and resists being charmed. He has to, for he sees Erik with his hands on Anna just as he did with Christine... though, chance would have it, he's at just the wrong angle to see him swiping the key card.]
[He has his prize and he was just about to let her go anyway, before his nosy arch-nemesis had to show up. GDIT, Raoul, we had a deal. Get out. He knows he won't be able to keep his hold on Anna with Raoul's voice there to distract her. So he holds her long enough to whisper something to her. Something he's almost sure she won't fully understand because she's still caught under his spell. He hopes anyway.]
[Anna is very much distracted by Erik, but the arrival of a new voice starts to pull her out of her reverie. She thinks maybe she catches something Erik says that would probably alarm her on a normal basis, but it's sort of fuzzy and garbled. She shakes her head with a mild frown as she tries to focus on the newcomer.]
[There's no rope as far as he can see, so Raoul doesn't hesitate to confront Erik face to face and giving him an excellent view of those black eyes. What do you think, Erik?]
Keeping you from pulling another woman into your grasp.
[Sorry, Anna, you're going to have to be much more obtrusive to get between Raoul and his rival.]
[Raoul plans on staying right here until Anna's gone long enough that Erik won't be able to track her. Not that it makes a difference with her cardkey pilfered, but it's the thought that counts.]

ActionspamJACK

Get away from her, Phantom!
ActionspamJACK
What business do you have here, Vicomte?

[Sorry, Anna, you're going to have to be much more obtrusive to get between Raoul and his rival.]
ActionspamJACK
[Animosity? What animosity. This is allllll love here.
Also, Raoul those eyes. You'd fit right in the circus.]
ActionspamJACK
[She steps out from behind Erik's back, finally coherent enough to frown at both of them.]
He is my teacher.
ActionspamJACK
That's what Christine said before she learned the truth of what he is.
[His voice totally did not catch on the name Christine. It's all in your mind.]
ActionspamJACK
The boy is delusional.
[His eyes are fixed firmly on Raoul.]
ActionspamJACK
Perhaps...it is best this meeting is adjourned?
[Bad boys. Go back to your rooms.]
ActionspamJACK
It would be for the better.
[Raoul doesn't move an inch.]
ActionspamJACK
Then be on your way, Vicomte.
ActionspamJACK
ActionspamJACK
[Forget them, Anna. They are going to stand here forever and die together.]
ActionspamJACK
ActionspamJACK
[Yeeeeah this will be Anna edging away. Totally awkward situation right here.]
Ah...have a good evening, both of you.
ActionspamJACK FFFFF/needs to check things more often
