[For 11-12] "My Heart at Your Sweet Voice..."

[chromaggia_diva]

If 11-12 follows Ryuk's suggestion and heads for the ballroom, he may hear the voice before he reaches it: a rich but light soprano voice singing a sensuous aria, full of longing:

comme s'ouvrent les fleurs
Aux baiser de l'aurore!
Mais, ô mon bienaimé,
pour mieux sécher mes pleurs,
Que ta voix parle encore!Once he

11-12 does hear her and, going inside quietly, he pauses at the door to listen, waiting until she is done to speak up.

She looks up, surprised, but pleased to have an audience. "Thank you, I'm still working at relearning that one: it's a diamond in the rough right now, as it still needs polishing," she says. "Do you like opera?"

"I've heard some in recordings. It's different seeing it live like this."

No, he hasn't seen any shows though.

"Oh, it is: no recording, however clear, can capture the ambience of a live performance," she says. "I like giving concerts more than recording for that reason. I'm Magdelan DeFoe, please, just call me Mag."
