The Queen's official birthday celebrations might wait for the better, brighter weather of June, instead of the actual date just passed, but there was no lack of things to do in London this week, even if it was cooler and damper than the week before. St. George's day festivities were scattered throughout the city, competing with celebrations of the four hundredth anniversary of Shakespeare's death. Getting around the city could be even more difficult than usual on Sunday, with multiple streets closed off for the London marathon.

There were exhibits - everything from graphic design to a survey of Sicilian history to the influence of underwear. And the same level of diversity could be found whether you were in the mood for music, theatre, good food, or late night fun. There was something for everyone, and no matter your plans - or lack of plans - you never quite knew what you were going to find, or who might find you.

Eric's only response to that was a non-committal purse of his lips, but he did not hide his amusement. Still, he moved on. "Have you seen this opera before?"

"I have not," Alcuin admitted, looking pleased. "So the invitation was very welcome, aside from just the pleasure of your company. I enjoy the opera."

"They say it isn't a classic take on it," Eric told him. "But I didn't ask how." He wanted to discover it for himself.

[alcuin]

"Mmmm perhaps we are about to find out," Alcuin said, smiling at Eric as the lights started to dim.

It wasn't a classic take at all, and Eric enjoyed it, he had decided, by the time of the intermission. "What did you think?" he asked Alcuin, stretching his legs without getting to his feet just yet.

[alcuin]

"It's very feminist for an opera, isn't it?" Alcuin said, turning to look at him. "And kind of sexy. I like it."

"Her agency is certainly not the classic take on it," Eric agreed.
