Mhmm… The Medium? I cannot say I have heard any pieces from said opera. It seems we shall make do with one of my personal pieces then, ma chere.
[The masked man takes his place in front of the piano, a familiar melody floating through the air as his fingers glide across the keyboard. Which song has the Phantom chosen to play? A certain composition, which brings back many memories, one written and performed for her.
“The Music of the Night.”]
Of course~ Forgive me for my error. I would love to hear one of your pieces as well, my dear Monsieur Erik.
Dahlia nods modestly and stands opposite him at the other end of the piano. As the beautiful music pours from Erik’s fingertips, she listens in earnest. Oh, if she were truly human…she could have found herself in Erik’s arms on the wings of truest joy.

You flatter me, my dear.
[Taking a seat in front of his piano, Erik turns toward the younger lady. How innocent and sweet she seems… And yet, appearances can be quite deceiving at times.]
Since you’ve already know of the Opera Ghost, is there a song in particular that you’d like to hear?
And I mean it, too, good sir~
She ponders for a moment, taking her time to think of a song that won’t ruin his good spirits. As it was, Dahlia already hates the noose and would certainly like to avoid a second death involving one.
Perhaps something from The Medium? Or one of your own compositions. It is the artist’s choice, Monsieur.

A well-educated young lady it seems, Mademoiselle Hawthorne. And I have been well. Merci, ma chere.
‘As well as a man so distorted as myself can ever be.’
And what brings you to my dwelling today? Have you come for a performance perhaps?
A performance…?
Dahlia blinks, pretending to be quite astonished.
I-I would be delighted to hear you play, Monsieur Erik. It is an honour that I have only dreamed of.

Mais c’est mon plaisir, Mademoiselle Hawthorne.
[The Phantom returns the young lady’s smile; however, it does not appear so friendly, as nice as it was intended to be. Curse his damned disfigurement.]
A pleasant surprise—the first French speaker I’ve met as of now. Perhaps you are from Paris?
No, I’m afraid not. I was well-schooled in the language, however, as a young girl.
Again, she smiles sweetly at him, her mask of saccharine innocence in full bloom. In Dahlia’s (warped) opinion, it was kind of cute to see such a tortured man attempt to be kind to a lady. Even after his trials, he was still a gentleman.
Are you well, Monsieur? I do hope that you are. You deserve as much.

Ah… Is that so? Yes, I’ve had much more visitors as of late than I usually do.
Et, ma chere, votre nom?
Je m’appelle Dahlia Hawthorne, monsieur. Enchantée~
Dahlia laughs softly and gives the masked man the sweetest of smiles.
J’espère que vous allez bien.

Ah, Mademoiselle, it’s a pleasure. And what brings you to my page this evening?
Oh…Monsieur Erik. Hello~
I’d heard a rumour that you were here, and I’m so happy that I heard correctly.
