[She is quietly regarding her comm in confusion, waiting for a response that doesn't come. Instead, there is a disembodied voice in the room with her, and its one that doesn't leave roon for dalliance. She scrambles to her feet and snatches whatever piece of sheet music that was sitting on the piano, and starts to sing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIeCthPXJiw&sns=em).]
[He's spying that keycard on the piano. He's spying it and thinking maybe he wants it. But to get it, he'll have to distract his target. And what better way to do that than with hypnotizing vocals? So he steps closer to her, reaches for her hand with his gloved one and sings a portion of Music of the Night.]
He's singing to her. Someone...is singing to her. She numbly lets him take her hand, eyes wide with shock. Noone..had ever done this before. Distracted? Oh, definitely.]
[Good. Gooood. So maybe this means she'll let him guide her, turn her around until she is standing in front of him with her back to the piano and his arm wrapping around her waist. No super mega groping action, but it's pretty damn close. With his free hand, he blindly feels behind him until he finds what he searching for and secures it.]
[That is exactly what that means, and soon enough she will find her back pressed right up him. She has no idea that he is jacking her card. In fact shes even going along with him.]
[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.]
