Chapter 3 - Ocean eyes

2017
Sae was engrossed in her dancing that his eyes analyzed every single movement she made. Later in the third act, when she transforms into the black swan, her dancing takes on a more seductive and passionate quality.

Her movements become sharper, more precise, and filled with a sensuous energy. As the black swan, she uses her expressive dancing to captivate Prince Siegfried and the audience drawing everyone into her spell.

Élodie's dancing is a central element of the ballet's storytelling, conveying her character's emotions and the duality between her white and black swan personas.

It requires a skilled ballerina to convey the depth and complexity of Odette's character through her dance movements. And to Sae it was clear that, that she was a skilled ballerina.

Before he even realised, the performance was over as the curtain claused and the audience was applauding as red roses were thrown onto the stage. As the curtain reopened and the entire cast bowed hand-in-hand.

"Oh look, she saw us!" Nathan pointed at his sister who blew him a kiss as he happily waved back at her. Even though Sae knew the kiss wasn't meant for him his chest just 'thump' skipped a beat.

Sae and Nathan left their seats walking to the entrance from the opera waiting for Élodie. "I hope I didn't let you wait too long." she said as she walked towards them her hair and makeup still on but wearing a white hoodie with a black turtleneck underneath, blue baggy jeans, white sneakers with a black sportsbag on her shoulder and a beige coat in her hands.

"Hey sis! It's alright we just arrived. You were great today." Nathan said quickly greeting her with a hug and a peck on each cheek as he handed her the flowers. "Thank you, it made me happy that you came." she softly said as she smiled at him gratefully.

"It's nothing, everything for my big sister. And this is Sae Itoshi, the one I talked about and my older sister Élodie." Nathan introduces them. "Pleased to meet you Sae Itoshi, my brother speaks a lot about you." she softly chuckled offering Sae a handshake as her eyes were now on him.

"He talks too much if he would only train as much." Sae bluntly stated as he accepted the handshake and couldn't help but notice how warm her smaller and softer hands they are.

"Hey that's not true!" Nathan said offended as Élodie has to chuckle softly.

"Anyways are you two only wearing this much? It's quite cold outside." she pointed at their suits.

"Of course not, we also have coats- damnit we forgot to get our coats from the garderobe! I'm going to get them." Nathan left them two standing there as he sprinted away.

"Idiot." Sae remarked watching Nathan sprinted away.

"He can be quite forgetful from time to time. That's also why I've wanted to thank you." she softly said smiling politely at Sae.

"Thank me? For what?" Sae asked slightly confused.

"I've wanted to thank you for taking care of my brother. Nathan has always been clumsy and forgetful since we were little. Moving in a foreign country all alone at the tender age of thirteen with nobody by his side must've been scary, I'm glad that he has someone who accompanied him, so thank you." Élodie gave him a soft smile.

Her voice was soft, calm and very soothing just like her dancing, it reminded him of a lullaby making one want to fall asleep. "I didn't do much, who knows where that brat would've done alone. Most likely fall into a gutter." he scoffed.

"Who knows, she softly chuckled, still I'm truly grateful for your help. So if there's anything I can do for you feel free to reach out to me. It's the least thing I can do."

Sae only hummed as they stood beside each other waiting for Nathan to come back. People were leaving the opera as noises and chatter filled the gentle silence as if they were both comfortable with not talking.

From time to time Sae eyed her from the side, her hairbun wasn't perfect held up anymore, her makeup still looked good but it was her eyes that had his attempt the most. Nathan had the same eye color but hers were different.

A delicate shade of a pale blue like an clear but frozen lake. They were like open windows to her soul, revealing her kindness and sincerity. Every time he looked into those eyes, he felt a profound connection, as if they spoke a silent language only the two of them could understood. The beauty wasn't just in the color of her eyes but in the emotions they conveyed, making him wonder what kind of person she was.

Nathan came back as they've agreed to meet each other tomorrow to explore Paris together. Élodie went back to her flat as the two football players took a separate taxi back to their hotel. During the ride and in the hotel Sae didn't stopped thinking about her eyes 'What kind of person are you Élodie Ambrose?'
