Thirty-One

[There's a very long pause before she finally speaks.]

... I'm sorry.

[and she hangs up.]

((OOC: she won't be responding. feel free to threadhop with one another, or visit her home to confront her, she'll be doing her ballet on the front lawn.))

[Salieri didn't get the phone call and has no idea what this girl might be apologizing about even if he did. But he's strolling by as she practices her ballet, and stops at the edge of her yard to watch quietly.]

[raven_daughter]

[Ballet is often used as a means of saying things through movement - if this dance could speak, it would be of regret, sorrow, guilt, self-loathing, trying to wrap it all up before she goes mad. She'll catch him watching, stopping for a slight second... but then resumes, easily enough.]

[laughedatbygod]

[Though ballet happens to be officially banned from operatic performances in Vienna in his time, Salieri is certainly no stranger to the art, and picks up on the hidden meaning almost immediately. He watches Rue's performance carefully, scrutinizing every nuance of motion with the trained eye of a professional composer.]

[And it comes to a finish. she takes a moment to breathe, then faces him, with a respect bow and curtsy.]

Did you enjoy it?

[give me approval. I need approval.]

[Maka is watching, hoping to find a moment to squeeze in a word.]

...Hey.

[raven_daughter]

[Oh hey, it's one of the people I poisoned! She stops, her back to maka.]

[angelic_meister]

Could you...explain just what you did and why?

[raven_daughter]

[Still doesn't turn to her.]

I didn't know it would cause what it did. I was going to do the same back home.

[Watching Rue from a tree.

Like a creeper.]

[raven_daughter]

[bitch please,like you do anything normally.

Whether she sees you or not is hard to tell, as she continues dancing.]

[hurtjustalittle]

...Your little stunt could have made me go on a killing spree. Do you know that?

[raven_daughter]

[And now she'll stop dancing, her back to you.]

I didn't know.
