[Welp, it's been long enough. Much too long in Erik's opinion. It's time to get the object of his obsession affection back. That means using the voice.]

[I wish it were as easy as that, Raoul, but we all know that there is no way that it can be. Her hazel eyes find his black and she feels sad for pressing him this way, but she knows her Angel is her guardian and teacher. No one can teach her as he can; a simple truth that will be so difficult.]
Raoul, I must .. He's my teacher .. He has been since I was seven .. It will be alright.
[Oh wouldn't she feel terrible when this went poorly!! So sorry, Raoul bb!! :(]

[Her Angel beckons again and there is something else in his tone this time. He is no longer simply calling her to him, he is beginning to get upset and Christine cannot allow that. She searches Raoul's face with a patience not at all born of this situation. This could go any number of ways, but she was hoping her words to him had made a point.
When he finally relents, a tension in her shoulders eases and she offers him a timid smile. She would not expect you to be ANY less clingy for this, darling. Matter'o'fact, she expects that you'll be a man of your word and both allow her to practice and keep her safe (not that she doubts her Angel, though. Not at all.)]
Thank you, Raoul ..
[She takes his offered arm, nodding once to his notice to stay close by.]

[Alright then, off they go to the library. Raoul keeps a firm grip on her hand as he leads her to their destination, keeping an eye out for suspicious cape swooshes. Erik better not be hiding anywhere.]
[Well Raoul you will be disappoint, son. Because the minute the happy couple step into the library, they are greeted with the sounds of the piano. It's probably an unfamiliar tune, as it's something Erik's recently composed while he had Anna with him for those two days. It's for her specifically, in a range Chrissie's probably more accustomed to.
Anyway, when he seems them, he nods his head in acknowledgment, though when he speaks, he addresses Raoul.]
Will you unhand her? It would be difficult for her to sing properly if you cling to her like a child.
[Christine runs her fingers over Raoul's hand as they walk, willing him to calm down at least a little before they arrive at the library. They step into the room that she's only visited a handful of times and already there is music playing. It takes but a quick glance around the room for her gaze to fall on the piano before them, the tune unfamiliar, but beautiful.
Her stomach clenches painfully at the sight of him, the urge to go to him strong in her. However, his first words aren't for her, but for her fiance, who is still keeping a rather firm hold of her hand.

[Sorry Chrissie, there is no calming him. They're going to meet the goddamn Phantom, for Christ's sake.
He wants to refuse, to comment on how she doesn't need her hands to sing, but... it would be childish. Reluctantly, he lets her go, but keeps one step behind her and makes sure she gets no more than a few feet or so from Erik.]
I love that shit .. god help me.. :CnotalkodarknessOctober 21 2010, 03:40:38 UTC
[Raoul's hold on her hand eases and she gently withdraws hers from his. When she steps toward the piano, she knows full well that he is just behind her. She is not annoyed by his closeness at all, understanding his concern for her and finding a certain amount of comfort in it.
Her hands fall to her sides and she is silently thankful that she has not let her practicing fall completely untended. She knows her Angel would be greatly displeased were she to have let it all slip in his absence from her.
Taking a deep breath, she follows his lead and runs her scales, falling into the sound of the music and her steady exhale.]
I don't think I've ever actually tried it :|aonly_one_raoulOctober 21 2010, 03:48:41 UTC
[He lurks behind her, watching the Phantom with suspicion. Raoul's listened to Christine practice before, and so far, this special lesson isn't impressing him. It better get a lot better before he concedes that this was a necessary risk.]
It's gross nastyasoutcastshearOctober 21 2010, 03:53:10 UTC
[Well, fine, Raoul. Let's jump right into the hard stuff without warming up and totally ruin Chrissie's voice. B(.]
Erik stops for a moment and finds a piece of sheet music. He doesn't budge from where he's sitting and holds it out for Christine. It's one of the newer songs he composed just for Chrissie. Time to put them vocal chords to work, dear.]
It really is .. I don't know why I eat it! ;A;notalkodarknessOctober 21 2010, 04:16:56 UTC
[Raoul, baby .. A girl can't just jump right into these kind of octaves; she's gotta warm up to it, first. *pets*
She runs through the basic warm-ups until he finally stops, watching him as he offers her a sheet of music. She steps forward and reaches for it, unafraid and not hesitating. She looks down at it, glancing over the runs and general layout of the music.
It was not only a new piece, but it was beautiful. This was not at all unusual for her Angel, but every new piece was like a work of art. Her pulse is already racing as she nods once, her gaze on her teacher.]
[Gawd, whatever guys. Hurry it up, he doesn't want to stand here forever.
Dammit, Chrissie, give him some warning before you go jumping into Erik's reach like that. Raoul's hand darts out to loosely grip her arm, just in case the Phantom tried something... but nothing happens, and the hand slides down and away.]
[Oh Raoul bb. You have no idea. Erik's training sessions are fairly intense and long.
The minute she says she's ready, Erik finds the appropriate music and begins playing. He's ready to hear her sing his new song. Occasionally, as he plays, he looks up to see how Christine is doing. This is a bit more difficult than what Christine is probably used to singing, so he wants to make sure she's remembering what she's been taught.]
I'm afraid you're going to be waiting for a very long time, Phantom.

[Hurry, hurry, Chrissie. Erik's losing his patience.]

Fine.
[He offers his arm for her to take. If she doesn't take it, he'll put her hand there by himself and hold it with his free hand.]
Don't stray far from my side.
