So he stepped into the museum with only the briefest of knocks, and proceeded to smell his way around a little. It'd been awhile since he'd been here; some of the smells were different. There was definitely still the scent of roses, he remembered those being at his and Giselle's wedding.
Of course, the place was big, and V very easily got lost inside it. "Hell-ooooooooo there!"

the show must go on
acting---even impersonating an idea---came easily, almost automatically, although Wolf being an audience with whom he could speak openly and earnestly was important. There was still a man beneath the mask, and he was not always acting.
"Hello to you, too."
V appeared around a corner in a flourish of black cloak, and strode forward with definite purpose. He lifted both arms, palms-up, in a gesture of welcome, and seemed to brighten beneath the mask. "These walls have been wanting for a soul such as yours; it is a pleasure to see you again."

Once spotting him, he started in his general direction, removing his heavy coat with an eager flourish as he did so. "Awwwr, you seem a little...quieter than usual," Wolf got straight to the point, although admittedly it was sometimes hard to tell what was loud and what was quiet for V.

"I suppose so, and I am not at all surprised." Although he glanced to the ground before looking to Wolf, he did appreciate the honesty. It still seemed novel---though he supposed that was the side effect of all the smoke and mirrors he'd employed over the years.
A funny thing, this, that off-stage has slipped away. That in mind, he supposed he could meet the man halfway. "I've lost Eve, and our good-byes were graceless."
