A Tour of the Opera house [tag Faramir]

[lil_blondeangel]

Meg had her own set of keys, and being partial owner of the Opera House she thought it wouldn't really matter if she just let herself in without mentioning it to M. Kent, so long as they locked the front doors behind them.

She was there almost a half hour early, and waiting. Both Madame Evangeline and Faramir should arrive soon

I am more careful of my dress than usual. I wish to look proper if we do end up going to supper after the tour. Fortunately, most of my clothing is chosen for comfort and the style, I am told, is 'classic'.

Whatever that means.

I wish to arrive on time, perhaps a bit early, though it would not do to arrive before the chaperon. It sort of defeats the purpose of having one.

The prospect of this tour is exciting--we have nothing like the opera house at home. Spending time working on the musical "Into the Woods" gave me some insight into backstage, but there were few places we really needed to go. I'm not even sure where the scenery and costumes came from.

I'm five minutes early, which isn't so bad.

When he arrives, Madame Evangeline is already there, and she and Meg are chatting away happily enough, in a combination of English and French.

"Oh, there he is, now." Meg said. "Faramir, this is Evangeline Lilley, one of the instructors at the Dance Studio."

"You can call me Eva, if you'd like." the other said with a smile.

I bow for the formal introduction.

"Lady Eva. Please call me Faramir." It might have escaped her notice that I have no second name but I doubt it. "I come from the land of Gondor in Middle-earth. We have no buildings for entertainments only, and nothing like opera or ballet at all."

It is right for her to know a little about me.

"I saw very little of the building when we performed "Into the Woods", and less was explained. I have been looking forward to this all week."

A smile at Meg, whose company I truly do enjoy.

"She's not seen much of the inside, either." Meg said.

"I teach ballroom, not ballet." Eva explained.

"Well, shall we?" Meg asked, moving towards the doors she'd already unlocked.
