Erik shivered at the feel of Christine's hand on him, and he nodded, folding her arm into his and escorting her deeper into the cellars.
"Of course... I'm sure Gerard will have a grand time scolding me later on for being up at all..." Erik murmured, patting her hand a bit and smiling worshipfully down at her as they moved to the gondela.
Very gently, Erik handed her inside, then took up the poll and stepped in himself. It was with a bit of strain that he managed to poll them along the little channels of water, and finally the small craft reached the bank of his home. The carosel horses were filled with dust and grime, several still toppled from that night so long ago...
Gently, Erik took Christine's hands and led her into his music room, lighting a few more lamps before flopping heavily onto the divan again with a soft grunt.

Phillipe stared at the door for several moments before recomposing himself.
This was just too much.
Christine had been cold all morning, and now she was nearly tripping over herself to meet him?!? It was outrageous, scanadlous, and it really hit a sore spot.
He knew that she'd had a lover, but he thought that when they had married that it would all be over. Apparently, not so.
Well....if she could run off to see old lovers, then he could certainly have a bit of fun while he was here.
He'd deal with Christine later.

Christine laughed. "I'm sure Gerard wouldn't be too angry at you." She would have offered to attempt to row for Erik, knowing how much of a strain on him it was, but she wasn't sure she'd be able to, and honestly didn't fancy the thought of getting stranded in the middle of the lagoon, or worse- crashing into something and getting beached on the opposite side. She shivered, looking around at the desctruction she had caused. She felt awful about it, yes. Christine vowed to herself silently that she would help clean this mess up, at least a little bit.
When they reached the music room, Christine surveyed the scene as he retired to the divan. It didn't seem as if much damage had been done to this room- less in here than outside, in any case. She sat on it, close to (but not on! O_O) Erik's head, and placed a hand lightly on his mask. "You should probably rest, Erik..." She said, and then began to sing a lullaby for him.
((>> Sorry about the random note in there. D: I just had a very strange mental image of Christine sitting on Erik's face and suffocating him. *shivers*))

Erik gave a light smile, closing his eyes and basking in the sound of Christine's voice.
Memories of the night he'd nearly died came flooding back, and he realized that the last he'd heard her sing was when she'd sang Faust with him. God, she'd been amazing...
Letting his eyes flutter open again, he caught Christine's hand in his own and gave a very shy kiss to her fingers. "Please, don't leave again..."

When Christine had finished, she smiled, a little sadly, down at him. "Don't worry about that, Erik. I promise I won't leave for a long time." She reflected for a minute and muttered, frowning. "You were right. Phillipe didn't appreciate me as much as I had hoped. I'll stay." She smiled again at him and pushed the hair back that was falling in front of his mask.

[[Squee! Erik shall now be gleeful! biggrin ]]
Erik jumped slighlty. She said she would stay..?!
Forcing himself to sit up a little, he reached out, cupping Christine's cheek in his hand and trailing his thumb against her lips.
"You will?" Wonder shone in his eyes, and he leaned forward, pressing a chaste kiss to her forehead. "You're certain?"
He couldn't contain the joyful laughter that burst from him. His eyes twinkled as he carefully pulled Christine to his chest, holding her close.
She would stay...

[[ xd Yay for gleeful Erik! ]]
Christine smiled, and then laughed at his reaction, a little suprised, leaning her head against his chest. "Yes, I'm certain. Would I say such a thing if I wasn't?" She shook her head. "You just have to promise me two things."
"First, you have to rest. I'd feel it was all my fault if you over-worked yourself and got hurt. I couldn't live with myself, and I'm sure Gerard would be angry. I doubt you'd like getting hurt again, either." She looked up at him.
"Second, you have to let me help straighten up outside. It was so gorgeous when I first came down here, and now... now there's things strewn everywhere, and everything's knocked over. I feel it was my responsibility that it happened, so I insist you let me clean it up as much as I can at least."
[[ o_o I was just thinking, and trying to hear Teri Polo's voice saying all those lines in her... Christine-ish way... >>; Is it just me, or does she talk funny? <3]]

[[She does talk rather oddly, but I think it's adorable. And on the subject of voices... Charles Dance has my FAVORITE Phantom speaking voice ever. He beats Michael Crawford. Good god I want to get it on with Charles Dance.. *ahem* *shifty eyes* I'll just reply now... redface ]]
Erik nodded wordlessly to Christine's conditions, still so very surprised that all of this had happened.
"I.. anything you want." he breathed, laying back again and holding her hands tighlty in his own.
"You... you'll stay here from now on? You won't ever leave again..?"
He was having trouble wrapping his mind around the fact that she would not be away from his side again until the day one of them died.
He was elated. Giddy, even. He wanted to get up and spin her in his arms and, oh Hell, dance about, anything! Unfortunately, at the moment he was a bit too weak to do much more than kiss her hands reverently and look up at her with wide, adoring and worshipful eyes.

[[ ... xd Who DOESN'T want to X-rated things with/to Charles Dance who saw that movie? That's what I want to know. Is it humanly possible? <3 Although I still lay my loyalty to Crawford. He's close, thou'. Real, real close. >>; Anyway...]]
Christine smiled equally as gleefully. "And you should be almost as good as new soon, if I watch after you. I won't go back up. Phillipe either completely forgotten about me, and gone back to his dancers, or he's so enraged at me, that it wouldn't be wise to try to talk to him. Either way, I will not go back."
When she spoke of Phillipe, her face hardened a little, and she spoke faster, as if saying what she was going to say would be easier for her if she said it faster.
"You were right about him. He doesn't appreciate music, opera, nothing! Just his money, and some women." She paused, and looked back at Erik. "I apologize. I shouldn't bring him up right now. I've decided I shall stay here, and nothing will change that."
Her eyes lit up joviously. "Do you want me to make you some tea or something of the likes?"

Erik shook his head, trying to pull Christine down to lay beside him.
"Just stay here. Don't go away.." he murmured, starting to fall asleep. "Don' ever go 'way..."
Beginning to doze lightly, he still kept hold of her hands as his lips parted slightly and his breathing evened out into sleep.
[[[Christine could start cleaning while he sleeps...]]

[[ H'okay. <3 xd *is overly amused, and I have no idea why*]]
Christine smiled and gently pulled her hand out of his grasp. Putting a blanket over him, she surveyed the scene, and decided that if his house was ever going to be clean, she'd better start now.
A few minutes later, she was outside, picking up what rubble she could, singing quietly, not wishing to wake him up. It was starting to being to look slightly more habitable, she thought to herself.

Erik continued to sleep, a smile on his lips.
A dream came over him slowly; he was taking Christine into his arms at a chapel, they were being married...
And then the Count burst in with several men and he was arrested...
Jerking awake, Erik sat up and slipped off his mask, rubbing his face with a soft sigh. He hadn't had any sort of dream in such a long time, and this one had shaken him quite badly.
Suddenly he realized that Christine was gone. Struggling to his feet, he looked around, then left the room, heart racing.
