[Open Post] Like a Ballerina Baby...

[eyeofjustice]

For once in Misa's life, she feels... whole. Light is here with her, and although he doesn't return her affection, it's nice just to have him here with her. Misa can't see her life without him, honestly.

She also has found another reason to stay here, she met a lovely opera singer who gave her a opportunity to dance again. Misa has been dancing

Let's be glad that poor Tristan doesn't seen his not!daughter herself dressed in her own practice tights and little light blue bodysuit. She's wandering in for her own practice and not paying any attention to if there's someone else in there or not.

In typical fashion, she's muttering a little to herself--thinking out loud--as she walks. "I don't know if I should stay inside so much today. It's very nice outside, and we won't have a lot of nice days before winter. Where do all the birds go if we're not part of the rest of the world?" She stops just inside the door, then blinks in surprise to see Misa there already.

"I'm so sorry!"

[eyeofjustice]

Misa breaks her focus for moment and spots the red-head girl.

"It's fine! I didn't know I had a fellow ballerina here! I feel less lonely!"

She's very cheerful about it.

"Yes, I'm a ballet student. I went to Kinkan Academy for a little bit." Duck is grinning. She likes the idea of a fellow ballerina.

She smiles back at Duck. "Thats so nice to know! Would you like to practice with me?"

Paul wasn't really looking for anyone or anything, just wandering around. These are the days - it's been one year since he got to the Mansion, one year since Helen broke his heart, probably for his own good, one year since vampires made his life hell.

One year of monk-like work and of solitude only interrupted by a few encounters and his best friend's companionship. He may be burying himself in work, but he's just as emo as usual.

Hence the aimless exploring that takes him to the room where Misa is dancing.

Misa knows the bitter, lingering taste of unrequited love better than anyone else. (She willingly puts herself through it, every single day she is with Light as his 'girlfriend'.) It's emotional masochism at it's finest.

When Paul opens the doors, he'll find Misa practicing at the bar, all focus, all concentration on her moves.

The worst part, in Paul's case, is that it was requited for a time - but then she had to become the equivalent of Dracula's bride.

When he pushes the doors and notices the dancing young woman, he pauses, embarrassed, curious, and generally unsure what to do.

Which is why there's a PhD student staring at you, Misa.

Sorry for being SOOOO slow. >_<

[eyeofjustice]

Misa stares back.

Silence.

"Hello."
