Amelia's Etiquette Guide to the Opera

[aegrus_letalis]

1. Dress appropriately. No jeans, sneakers, tee-shirts. A gown is necessary for opening night and evening performances. Rehearsals and mid-day performances require a dress or an elegant non-work type suit
2. Personal grooming is absolutely necessary, but do not overburden yourself with perfume and the like. God knows if you really have good taste in

Know anywhere I can get a dress?

And, if I may ask, when will that opera that was being rehearsed be performed?

*crosses fingers behind her back while thinking "Please say December 24th... Please say December 24th..."*

[aegrus_letalis]

Rodeo Drive.

Well, although the recent murder might push us back a little, the show must go on. I believe it runs from the 24th December to 24th April.

[kaitlin_harwood]

Thank you.

*smiles* *resists urge to huggle Amelia*

Um... How much is the opening night?

[aegrus_letalis]

For what? *She winks in understanding*

*Is happy the urge was resisted. She guesses*

Don't be silly. Your tickets will be on hold at the box office. I'll have them hold orchestra seats for you.

[kaitlin_harwood]

You'd really do that...for me?

[aegrus_letalis]

Everyone should go to the opera at every opportunity. I have an interest in educating the young in the arts.

*She does not admit that she feels that the opera might cheer the girl up after the ordeal. God forbid she thinks that Amelia is being nice to her.*

[kaitlin_harwood]

You know, I think you may be on to something. Though, trying to get the young male side of the gene pool to attend would probably be harder than the young female side. All boys are savages at heart.

*remembers the valley girl she works with.*

In most circumstances anyway.

[aegrus_letalis]

*smiles* You won't always think that. And it wasn't always so.

[kaitlin_harwood]

Does that mean that someday my opinion will change to "most" males are savages at heart? The fact does remain that it's almost always men that are responsible for the problem in history.

*blinks*

It wasn't?

[aegrus_letalis]

Amelia chuckles.

"It's only because woman were told to stay home."

[kaitlin_harwood]

Were you ever told that?

[aegrus_letalis]

No. I never shied away from battle. But that was one of the reasons I was chosen. It actually wasn't until much later that I was asked to 'stay home'. After the other elders died.

[kaitlin_harwood]

Do you ever sneak out?

[lothoro]

All the effing time.

*lothoro scolds her playfully with his eyes.*

She's a troublemakers.

[aegrus_letalis]

Looks innocent.

"A lady needs time to herself."

[kaitlin_harwood]

A troublemaker? Amelia? No... I don't believe it. *Smiles & winks to Amelia.*

She could just imagine what Amelia put Lothoro and Matayas through sneaking out.

"That's not true, is it Amelia?"
