While he'd never tried his hoof at actually writing for it, the unicorn was so easily swept away by the sounds and the visuals. He got truly engrossed in the storytelling- which was why it was so surprising that tonight he'd actually struggled to pay attention at times. This wasn't his first opera premiere, but it was certainly his first with a guest so enthralling. Aurora Light had agreed to accompany him, and it had been an evening to remember. But the house lights had come back up and the spell had been temporarily broken, and now it was time for the night to come to its own finalé. Pale Moonlight knew how this would go. He'd walk her home, maybe kiss her goodnight, and then go home and try to sleep but end up writing music instead because that's how he functioned. Emotions equalled insomnia, and insomnia equalled productivity.

But he wasn't really sure that's how he wanted the end of the evening to play out; more specifically, he didn't really want to let her go. It might have been incredibly selfish, but he wanted to spend more time with her. Even though they were musical collaborators, his feelings for her ran far deeper. The thing about Aurora was that there was something about her; some inexorable, inexplicable quality that just enlivened him. The dainty mare was incredibly invigorating to be around, and he felt like he could really open up and be himself around her. But they were quite dressed up; one doesn't go to a premiere underdressed, after all– and besides that, he'd monopolized her time far enough already. As they left the theatre, he tried to keep a nice, slow pace so that they could talk more on their way back.

"So, that was Verdi's La traviata! Did you like it? I thought the lead tenor was quite a standout!"

The lights of Phonyland's midway sparkled in the distance; the whole world was made of starlight. He was temporarily seized by the notion to take her in his hooves and spin her around; he wanted to dance, but there was no music, and he didn't want to be a spectacle- or scare her off. So he contented himself with a smile- a pale imitation of how he really felt.

Inwardly, she was bouncing around and giggling like a filly who'd felt the bloom of love for the first time. Indeed that may had even been the truth of the matter, but flutter held back. Pale Moonlight was a cool sort, a gentleman, and to explode into a fit of giggles and gushing over the fact that she'd been out on a DATE with him and how much fun she'd had had would most likely horrify him.

"The story was so wonderful, yet so tragic. Love stories are often written with bitter sweet endings. It is sad that it seems love was more of a inconvenience then something to strive for in such days." She bit her bottom lip, wondering if that was too analytical about the opera. "I did think the man who played Alfredo played him wonderfully. You could almost see him channeling the spirit of the poor man and spilling his joy and sorrows onto the stage and I envied Violetta for having someone so devoted to her." Aurora was still quite new to the world of music despite being a frontmare to a increasingly popular group. It was most likely an affront to proper singers and musicians, people who had devoted their lives to the craft, that the music wasn't her true passion, that she'd only stumbled into it. But she was getting a deeper and richer appreciation for it and learning more about it, especially when Pale was involved. That had been her first opera.

"Oh.." she too noticed the midway's lights. "It's finally warm enough that the Midway is open. I always did like it best at night, with all the lights sparkling and everything having a more dream like quality to it." She wondered if Pale was the sort of phony who could enjoy the Midway. She stopped, looking at him. "I'm..not really ready to go home and, if YOU don't mind, could we, maybe, stop by there..?" she ducked her head shyly. "Unless you have to be home quickly, in which case we could always come back but.."

"I'm so glad you liked it! Perhaps we can go to more of them together; it's always wonderful to get a new perspective on a favorite. And the stories opera tells are timeless; the themes of lost love and tragic devotion can resonate with anybody. The music you sing is very often operatic in scope and in form, and I just knew you'd appreciate getting to see how emotion can play out on stage in song." He felt like kicking up his heels like a colt; if she'd been bored or disliked it, he would have felt so incredibly guilty for wasting her time. But it seemed like she was having as much fun as he was- and oh, heavens the midway? What a brilliantidea!

"My dear, I could think of nothing I'd like more to do than go to the midway with you," he said- and he really, truly meant it. Even though he was in a suit, he couldn't think of anything in the world that would be better than eating cotton candy and going on rides with the mare at his side.

Aurora blushed and shook her hoof. "I am no opera singer by any stretch though. Those people went through years of training and work and reach levels and pitches I don't think I can. I admire them for it. I honestly feel like a hack." she smiled, gazing at the twirling lights of the midway. "I'm so lucky..and I try to never forget that.." as she says this, she brushes against Pale's side for a moment.

At his agreement to go to the Midway, Aurora practically skipped on the tips of her tiny hooves for a moment or two, before remembering herself and resumed walking, accidentally stomping on the inseam of her fancy silver dress a couple times. "I'm so happy!" she chirped. "I've always dreamed of going there with a handsome stallion at my side." she blushed as she said it.

She trotted ahead as they got closer and after a few moments, caught back up to the unicorn, a large wheel of tickets bulging comically out of her clutch purse. "Now we can do everything as many times as we like!"
