Deciding to walk around the Opera House for a bit. X-23 had left Nathaniel to explore. She was dressed well for once, in a long sleek black dress with her hair washed and styled in ringlets and pinned up, an occasional stray curl framing her face and brushing the bare skin of her shoulders. her makeup was not overdone tonight, and as she walked elegantly across the lush carpet of the lobby, the stares she received were noted and quietly appreciated.
This was her first time at a classy place like this, and she'd read the Phantom play. Not wanting to be late to see the performance, she followed the directions Nathaniel had given her and climbed the stairs to where the seats were. She felt the pull of her claws just as Nathaniel and the usher came into view.
X-23 took a step back, fighting to keep her fists as her sides and the chain and tags she always had with her under her dress. She watched Nathaniel's calm reaction, and felt the immediate but slow release on the adamantium in her body when it came. Deciding to wait and unnerved by this odd occurrence, she stayed where she was even as the usher rushed past her. She would wait until whoever was really in there left, or Nathaniel indicated that all was safe again.
