A night at the opera
Lian made her way to where she was to meet Damien to take the private jet to the opera in Dubai. For someone who normally didn't care what she looked like, Lian had certainly put in a lot of time and effort making sure that she'd looked Just Right. Her hair was in an updo, with a few curled strands out in front. She hadn't painted herself, but she'd put on more makeup than she normally did. She wore a long black dress, just nice enough for the occasion.

It was all a part of the mission. Him being a good kisser was just an extra bonus.

She entered where she was supposed to meet him.

She smiled at him, walking over to him.

	Damien smiles to himself, returning to the program. He'd hoped she liked it, and she did. Perhaps they could do this again when time permitted and things would not be so busy. The League had much to do before the end of the year and well into the next, and he would need to be at the forefront to lead the charge. Tonight, however, was just for the two of them.

	Lian continued to watch the opera with interest. The little nagging voice in the back of her head? Gone. Well, mostly. She was just telling it to shut the hell up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are you enjoying yourself...Lian?" Damien says, almost slipping once again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am Damien," Lian said, smiling at him, taking another sip of her wine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am glad." he says, and returns to the show. Eventually, Don Giovani ends Damien stands going to pour himself another glass of wine. "Would you like to meet the cast?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lian nodded, finishing off her glass of wine. "I feel honored to," she said. "They all did a spectacular job." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I think they'll be very happy to hear that from you directly." Damien says. Presently, an attendant walks in and Damien confers Lian's desire to meet the cast in to the man in Arabic.

The attendant bows and leaves.

"He's gathering them together now. They are all going to come here to see you." Damien smiles.

"May I ask your favorite part of the performance, if you had one?"

	"I enjoyed when the other characters began to piece together who Don Giovanni truly was. It really got the rest of the opera moving, and drew me in even more." A small smirk. "The translation in my program helped as well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I enjoyed that as well. Still, there is something to be said that everyone knows what will soon happen, yet no one can stop it from happening. Such is life, I guess.

We know when things will end poorly, yet we continue on, telling ourselves that we can make things change for the better." Damien says, taking another sip of wine.

"You are the most beautiful woman in this opera house tonight, Lian. I am honored that I get to spend my evening with you." he says.

And my mornings as well.

	"Well you know what they say, Damien- life's a bitch," Lian said, a wide smirk crossing her face. "If it were easy, well then it would be a slut." She took another sip of her wine. "I can't think of anyone else I would rather be spending tonight with, Damien," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Damien blinks for a moment at the frankness of Lian's comment...and then laughs loudly. He nearly makes the undignified action of spitting out his champagne, but manages to retain his composure.

He chuckles a bit, wiping his mouth with a napkin, before looking to Lian.

"That was wholly unexpected, Lian. You got me. But I thought the saying was 'Life is a bitch and then you marry one'?" Damien queries.

"I have seen that one play out more often than you'd think." he grins.

	"Well, that too," Lian said, grinning. "Either way, life's still a bitch. But it has its not so-bitchy moments." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I do not think of life in such negative terms. It invites one to wait for bad things to happen so that one can have an external excuse for not controlling their own world." Damien tells her.

"For example, I want my life to be enjoyable every moment. Kissing you would make it extremely enjoyable, so I will." he says, walking over and kissing her lightly.

"And life is enjoyable."

	"I don't invite myself to face bad things," Lian said, grinning. "I face them head on." She smiled into the kiss. "I agree with you. Life is enjoyable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Damien is about to say something else when there is a knock at the door. He bade the visitor enter and the attendant returns with a line of twelve people who filter into the large room. The cast of Don Giovani says hello to Lian in Italian, all with bright, cheery smiles. "Oh, it seems you have visitors, Lian." Damien grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lian smiled at them. "Good evening," she said in Italian. After that, her knowledge of Italian was limited. She debated swapping to French, or Spanish even, but didn't want to be rude.

While she didn't doubt that Damien spoke Italian, she didn't want to feel like an idiot by asking him to translate what she said to the cast for her. Lian paused, searching for the right thing to say.

"That was..lovely." She said. "The opera," she added on in English.

"Everyone will speak English for the duration of this meeting." Damien commands. The cast members all nod.

The actor who played Don Giovani himself speaks up first.

"Master Damien, where did you find such an exquisite creature? I knew the sky seemed darker tonight; the heavens placed all of the stars in her eyes." the man smiles genuinely.

Damien seems to glow with pride. "Lian is a rare woman, my friend. And she is spoken for." Damien adds with an edge.

"Where are you from, Miss Lian?" an older woman asks.

	"I am truly flattered by the compliment, sir," she said, smiling. "New York," she said. It was true, in a sense. She DID live in New York for a period of time when she was younger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"We will be going to New York soon! We hope to perform for you there, as well." the older woman says.

The rest of the cast asks Lian questions about the play, what parts she liked and if she would be willing to see them perform again. They each line up to kiss her cheek and they are all gone as soon as they came.

"I think they are very fond of you. Admittedly, it's not hard to be." Damien smiles.

	Lian answered their questions, eagerly, enjoying the conversation wholeheartedly. "It must be a part of charm," she said to Damien with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-27 03:37 am UTC (link)
	"You possess that in spades, my dear." he grins, walking over to kneel before her. He kisses her hips and then stands again. "I am glad you enjoyed yourself, Lian. I was worried that you might not, at first." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I truly did enjoy myself," Lian said, rising from her chair and kissing him. "You said that we had other plans for this evening?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We do. I made sure that extra clothing was packed for us before we left. We are going camping." he grins. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rightontarget 2010-09-27 03:53 am UTC (link)
	"Camping, huh?" Lian grinned, "Good thing you packed extra clothing. I don't think this dress was meant for a camping trip." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	headofthedemon 2010-09-27 04:00 am UTC (link)
	"You make a strong case for finding out, Miss Harper. But yes, camping. Tonight we will go out into the desert and spend the night with the stars. I find myself curious if our friend's assertion about your eyes is true." he says, kissing her on the forehead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
