Beautiful like a song

Cobbles glisten in the evening rain, leaf litter blocking the gutters and causing unshod feet to slip. Ragged men stagger home from the workhouses, brushed aside by the clicking wheels of the hansom cabs. Horses duck their heads, snorting plumes of wet, straw scented heat as the human traffic pushes past them and always, everywhere, above it and beyond it all, is the stink of the river Avon as its turgid flow seeps beneath the bridges. The river itself remains a dark, indifferent consciousness that allows anyone to stand by its weir and stare into the silent currents.

Christine waves a hand negligently.

"...oh... I've forgotten... it's not important anyway... one of those phrases like saying about someone failing to stand to the occasion... or whatever that saying is..."

She waves a finger at him in mock admonishment.

"You've broken the chain now... you didn't say 'tell me'... I think that means that I win..."

With a dramatic flourish, Regulus bows low to Christine. His teeth flash as he grins broadly.

"I do believe you have won this night at least Ms Melody."

He rises

"Shall we begin once more, or is that the end of it for this night?"

Christine smiles.

"I think that we should start heading back to the theatre at least... but that does not mean the conversation should cease... I think that it is up to you to choose the topic though..."

Regulus nods, slowly turning to face back towards the Theatre.

"Hmm...a new topic of conversation. I'll avoid politics I think...rather too heavy a conversation for tonight..."

He hums

"Tell me, if you could only sing or play your harp which would you pick?"

Her response is immediate and unequivocal.

"Sing."

"Tell me... if you had to choose between raven and wolf?"

A pause for a split second, then

"Raven. The ability to fly is without equal."

He sighs

"Tell me, would you prefer to spend your days in the countryside or in cities?"

"...cities for my audience... the countryside for my music... but the sea.... that is where my blood yearns... "

"Tell me... summer or winter?"

"Winter."

He glances up

"Tell me, assuming it were still possible..day or night?"

"Day. For I am sunlight and always will be!"

She laughs, full of joy, eyes shining with love.

"Tell me... chocolate or vanilla?"

"Vanilla most certainly."

He smiles

"Tell me, grass or sand?"
