Ariel: swims closer, eyes twinkling You ready for the show?! Sooo excited to see you perform!!!
Yeah... I guess so. I adjust my mask. Do I really have to wear this thing? It's so... constricting.
smiles warmly, understanding your discomfort I know, darling, but it's part of the performance. The audience needs to see your face, and besides, it adds to the mystery. Besides, it's just for a little while, and then you can take it off.
I don't know if my song will be good enough...I'm kind of nervous.
