[B][U]"The Dueling Studio"[/U][/B]

[B]"Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love"[/B]
Sings Henri as he holds his wand like a symphony conductors baton. His voice is masculine an yet sad and soft as he sings. Nearby nearly headless Nick hovers listening quietly.
[B]Laissez-moi voir ta beauté quand les témoins sont partis
Permettez-moi de vous sens bouger comme ils le font dans Babylone
Montrez-moi lentement ce que je ne connais que les limites de
Et moi danser jusqu'à la fin de l'amour[/B] sings the Dueling master as he dances with a woman who is no longer there.

Nick begins to leave only to hear 
[B]Excusez-moi Monsieur Esprit mais s'il vous plaît rester, ce soir est une nuit de souvenirs et je les partager avec quelqu'un[/B] says Henri in a strangely accented french
((Excuse me Sir Ghost but please stay, tonight is a night of memories and I would share them with someone))

Nick says a bit flustered. [B]"She Was quite a beauty wasn't she?"[/B]

[B]"Mais bien sûr, she was the most beautiful woman I've even been lucky enough to know[/B] says Henri with a happy sigh an a melancholy smile

[B]"May I inquire as to what happened to her?
If it's not too painful of course"[/B] asks Nick sensing that Henri needs to talk to someone

[B]"Ah but of course there is pain as there is always pain where Love in concerned.
.......But let us not worry of the trivial.
She is gone and now waits I hope for me beyond the veil. Her name was Emaline and her hair was as dark as the night sky, her eyes, oh her eyes were a dark amber that captured my heart the first I ever looked into them. Her figure was the gift of Aphrodite and her voice the song of the Muse.
A man is rarely granted the knowing of a Goddess mortal bound but I was that lucky fool
Oh what a fool I was, I should have gone with her then I could have saved her we perished together[/B] says the young Professor as he takes a deep breath

[B]"Strangely enough I too know of the experience of a lost love[/B] says Nick settling down near Henri

[B]Vous Monsieur?[/B] asks Henri of Nick

Soon the two are speaking of the pain of lost love and of the women they both so admired.
