Michel listened patiently as Jean-Pierre delivered Puck's final lines, mouthing the lines along with him.

"And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call:
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends."

He clapped a couple times, and walked down the aisle to lean against the stage and talk in hushed tones to Jean-Pierre and Alec before sending them off backstage to change out of costume. As he turned towards the back of the house, he motioned to Jean-Gaspard to raise to house lights, and as they rose, he noticed a certain German standing in the back. In street clothes, no less.

He put on a wide smile and gestured grandly as he began walking towards the back.

"Herr Varner, what a pleasant surprise! Welcome to my humble theater. What brings you down here?"
