✯✯✯I drink liquid music, so that I may sing to quench the thirst of the world✯✯✯  "Thanks," he replied with a smile. "I'll try." He grabbed the two drinks when he heard what the girl with the flute case said. His eyes shifted to the one she was talking to. He pulled the drinks off the counter as he tried to picture the petite girl with a Bass. As much as he wanted to strike up a conversation with the girls, he didn't. Now was not really the time. "See you around ladies," he said as he turned to walked to his table.
When Elijah got to the table, he sent the bud light in front of the bassist and sat in his previous seat. He glanced at the empty chair that Gavin was sitting in and mentally shrugged. A soft smile formed on his face. His best friend probably thought he might get tied up with the girls. It was tempting. "Did you know that the girl over there plays Bass?"
The light haired guy turned to glance at the girl he was referring to. "I've never seen her before. Why?"
"I don't know," paused a moment to take a sip of his drink, "...just interesting. Don't you think?"
"Whatever. Don't you think that you are just interested because there are girls over there and you prefer to talk to them right now?" the bassist responded with a slight cold undertone.
"No! I don't just go after any girl that walks by," Elijah responded in a huff. He gave the bassist a slight glare that only lasted a moment. It probably looked more playful than someone that was actually annoyed.
"Riiiight," was all that the taller guy said in response. That was when he took his first gulp of his own drink.
"Plus, they come to me." Elijah took another sip of his drink before continuing. "I never actually pursued anyone before..." his tone shifted to a bit more mellow sound as he seemed to space out for a second. It didn't last long though. A second later he returned to his cheery self. "Let's get down to business!"
✯✯✯Cage me, but you will never cage my songs.✯✯✯

Lacey watched Christoph make the hot drink for Kiniri. Ah, a dedicate hot chocolate. That seemed like it would be tasty. She wasn't in the mood for something hot though. It was warm enough as it was. With all the people having fun; that was to be expected. What drink would she get next? Not that she would be ordering any time soon. After all, she was only half done at the moment.
Lacey looked toward the girl when she responded. She just gave a soft smile in response; since she didn't really know how to respond. That is when she noticed that the red haired guy looking at her. It wasn't for long but it made her smile vanish. Why did he glance at her like that? The guy left to walk back to his table while saying goodbye. He was rather friendly. Of course, that wasn't too surprising because of how he entered the place. A soft chuckle escaped her lips. Imagining the scene and filling him her own dialogue made it funny in her mind.
That was when Kiniri opened her case. Lacey looked down at the shiny instrument inside and wondered how it would feel to play it. The flute was so much smaller than her Bass. It probably wouldn't fit her. She didn't think she looked odd holding a Bass.
Her eyes scanned the room to observe the larger crowd. After a while, Lacey rested her big dark eyes on someone at the bar. He had blond messy hair. Well, it probably wasn't messy. It just seemed to have that kind of look. She didn't notice him earlier. Maybe he just came in. After all, she was distracted for a bit. That was when she noticed something on the counter. It was really hard to see from where she was, but she thought she saw a pen. Maybe he writes songs like she does. Or maybe she is just assuming there were a notepad and a pen. Now that she thought about it, she never tried writing in a place like this. Would she even be able to do that?

Christoph spotted Daniel as he came in. "Excuse me, ladies. I have to go tend some tables." He bowed slightly to the girls, and slipped out from behind the bar. As he did so, he grabbed a small tray and arranged a tiny pot of hot water, a mug, and a selection of tea bags that were in individual sealed foil wrappers on it. He snagged some packets of sugar, honey, a lemon slice, and cool cream, too. Daniel didn't always use all of it, but Christoph knew from experience that he appreciated the selection.
He came over to where Daniel was sitting and grinned amiably at him.
"Hey, there. How's the music-writing going? Submitted anything to any music publishers yet?"

Kiniri closed her flute case with a loud snap, and set on the floor, so that her skirts partially covered it. LEaning her elbows on the bar counter, she hummed along with the band, closing her eyes and smiling.

┌─────────────────────────────┐Gavin walked out of the bathroom and looked around the place. Elijah didn't get distracted this time. Oh well, you never really know with him. Then his eyes drifted to Christoph. He was serving that one guy tea. Come to think of it, he could use a good glass of tea. He never really ordered something from the bar. Maybe it was time to do so, but he didn't want to be pushy about it. Well, he has been wanting to take a look at what kind of tea the guy liked to drink. It might have been odd that he would be interested like that. Maybe it was just because he never really seen someone drinks tea instead of alcohol. After all, they were at a bar. Someone walked toward him, so he slid out of the way. The guy gave him a weird look for staying in the middle of the hallway. That is when he decided.
Gavin walked over to Christoph and stood where both guys could see him. "Hey," he paused and looked down at the tray. He shoved his hands in his pocket like normal as his eyes traveled to the guy with the notepad to Christoph. "Sorry, I was just wondering if I could have some tea..." He was acting nonchalant about the whole thing, but in reality it was probably a bit weird. Not that he ever cared about that.______________

Christoph turned to Elijah's friend whose name always escaped him. He smiled and said, "Sure, it's no problem." He nodded at Daniel and apologized for having to leave before he could have a chance to chat.
Once Christoph was behind the bar again, he pulled out another teapot and filled it hot water. A tray came out, and he piled it up with the same items as he did with Daniel's tray. With a grin, he carried it back to the table to where Elijah's group had been sitting and place it there. He returned to Daniel's table and said, "I put the tea at the table you were at before."

▪ × × × × × ▪ Resting his pen on the table for a minute, Daniel lifted up his hand to scrub at his mop of honey-blond hair. A few pins held the unruly silken strands out of his eyes near one ear, but otherwise one might wonder if he kept his hair untamed on purpose. The wind was a deciding factor for how he would look during the day; he was honestly too laid-back to take his appearance into any serious consideration. He was a plain enough guy - at least he thought so, when looking in the mirror. Not very tall, barely five seven, with a teen's youthful frame and untanned skin. All in all, an average enough guy. He liked his eyes well enough - they were green, his second favorite color.
Suppressing a sleepy yawn, he glanced down the length of the bar towards the girls. Elijah had left them to talk to his friend, a bassist. One female was watching him, though. Daniel, returning her curious stare, nodded faintly. He wasn't sure why she was so interested in him, but it likely had to do with his writing - this place was better suited for true instrument players. He had practice in a number of strings, but he rarely brought one along.
"Hey, there. How's the music-writing going? Submitted anything to any music publishers yet?"
Daniel's gaze rose and shifted to his other side. Christoph, with his equally sunny, spiked hair, stood with a tray besides him. Noting the selection it carried, Daniel slowly smiled in return, eyes brightening as he indicated for Christoph to set the tray on the table. As he waited, he calmly gave a shake of his head, a hand demurely settling over the newly written ideas as if uncertain of whether he wanted them seen or not. "...No... They're... not good enough. Not yet... They need something... I'm not sure what, but..."
Shrugging minutely, Daniel reached out to hold the tea bag varieties, studying Christoph's thoughtful selections. A Chamomile was among them; smiling faintly, he looked up to thank Christoph, but a voice interrupted him before he could. Turning, he found Elijah's mysterious drummer friend standing behind him. Eyes rounding, he paused as the man ordered a round of tea. Another tea appreciator? How... strange. Strangely comforting, maybe. Christopher left to fill in the order and, in that time, Daniel contemplated what to do.
Introduce himself... He really should. They were both regulars, so it wouldn't be too weird, right? Lips pinched, he swallowed back his uncertainty and quickly spoke up. "...Um... I'm Daniel... Did... are you playing, tonight?"
{{ Sorry for the wait. ^^ }} ▪ × × × × × ▪

┌─────────────────────────────┐Gavin scratched the back of his head when Christoph left. He always seemed to get an itch when he did something a bit weird. I mean really, he could have waited a minute for them to finish their small talk. His eyes traveled back toward the blond that was sitting down. The guy seemed a little nervous. Maybe that wasn't the right word but whatever. They could total get into a conversation about tea...maybe. That silly thought almost made Gavin laugh. Instead, he just cracked a small smile. That was around the same time the blond started talking. It might have looked like he smiled because someone was talking to him. Who really cares what someone assumed though. His gray blue eyes rested on the one sitting down. In reality, his eyes change colors sometimes. Tonight they were gray blue, but sometimes they are an olive color. Not that he ever really noticed that. Elijah liked to point that out to him. He believes it has a secret meaning or something weird like that.
"Gavin," he responded in a normal tone. He already let the hand drop that was scratching his head, but just now put it back in his pocket. He thought about the question for a moment while glancing from his band to Christoph. "I'm not sure..." he finally responded while letting his words trail off. It was as if he was going to say something else but decided against it.
His eyes shifted to look back to Christoph. "Thanks," he turned back to Daniel. "Bye then," was all that he said before he turned to walk over to his table. It's not that he didn't want to talk to the guy that was trying to start a conversation. In fact, he would have preferred to sit with him, even being a stranger, than with his band. Kind of sad, but being around the bassist just made him feel uncomfortable.______________

Lacey didn't really react well when the messy blond haired guy nodded to her. It was completely embarrassing. Why did he look at her in the first place? Then she couldn't stop staring until he nodded. Like she was in some kind of trance. Or more like they were having a staring contest. That's why she was staring at the band. Not that she could really hear anything. Her mind was a bit full with her own thought. What is with all the people paying attention to her? Granted it was usually only for a minute, but still. Completely out of her comfort zone. Just imagine if they all tried to have a real conversation with her. Then she just might faint on the spot. Wouldn't that be a hilarious sight.
She snapped out of her thought process when the guy from that band walked by. The only reason she knew they were a band was because Christoph mentioned it a little while ago. Her eyes watched him walk to the blond guy that was staring at her just a moment ago. She quickly looked back toward the group playing.
That was when the girl beside her slammed her flute case shut. Lacey jumped at the sudden sound, almost falling off the barstool. She was already half off it when she moved over to let the red haired guy get closer to the bar. She acted like she planned on standing up instead of readjusting herself on the stool. After gulping her drink down, she set the empty class on the counter and walked toward the restroom. That whole scene could of made her look like a drunk. She was totally fine of course. Despite her size, she can hold her alcohol quite well. She was probably being paranoid though. She didn't fumble enough for people to really notice, but certain people might.

The string trio hit their intermission at last. They set their instruments carefully down and came down off the stage. Christoph turned and spread his arms out, saying "Hey, you've been great so far!" The pretty violinist smiled confidently and replied "Wait till you see what we have in store. We've got some originals planned." The other two ordered some sodas and some food.
Christoph grinned as he brought them their order. These kids were going somewhere, he just knew it. As he set down their plates of food and their drinks, he said in a casual manner, "I know a guy who's looking for an opening act for the group Escala. They're going on their first tour in England. You might be just what he's after." He saw their jaws drop, but pretended not to notice. "I've already mentioned you all to him, and he told me he'd love to get a demo from you." The violinist stepped forward, eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Could you tell us how to get a hold of him?" She asked this in a cool, professional tone. Christoph smiled some more. This girl would be fine in the music business. Given some experience, she'd be able to best some of the toughest sharks out there. He nodded and pointed. "He's sitting at that booth over on the wall. He's the one in the blue blazer with the red tie. I told him to expect you over when you got a break."
The violinist held out her hand, grinning widely. "Thank you so much. You've really opened a lot of doors for us just by letting us play tonight. You won't regret this at all." Christoph shrugged nonchalantly, though he was inwardly pleased. "Just be sure to come back every once in a while. The Haunted Music Box likes its stars to visit." She nodded and led her group over to the waiting man. Christoph walked back to the bar and took up his spot, feeling satisfied. He also felt the Haunted Music Box's approval and knew those kids would be huge.

Christoph laughed at her indignation. "For your information, sweetie, I'm old enough to have seen your great-grandparent's grandparents be born. As for the hot chocolate..." He winked mischievously. "Trade secret. Can't have all the bars in the area with my recipe and stealing my customers, now, can I?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the string trio get up and thank their contact. They returned to the stage, and began playing again. The whole group played with renewed vigor and excitement, causing other patrons to leave their tables and get on the dance floor. He smiled contentedly. Another band, another opportunity. Christoph knew they'd already started exploiting it. Silently, he wished them luck.

♫ Gavin & Wells ♫
╚═≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎≎═╝
Gavin plopped down into his chair and looked over the options. His band mates were still talking about business stuff; which he didn't care about. He just did what he needed at that was all that really mattered to him most of the time.
"Are you ever going to get a REAL drink?" Elijah asked with a teasing smile.
Gavin merely glanced at him before picking the vanilla hazelnut tea. He wrapped it and put it gently in his mug. Then he waited for the tea to seep into the water. Unfortunately, the band was taking a break so he couldn't focus his attention on them. Instead, his eyes wandered to Daniel. They didn't rest on him long, because that was when he noticed an odd movement out of the corner of his eye. His eyes rested on the girls that were at the bar. The one with long flowing dark hair was guzzling down her drink.
Elijah let out a short laugh. He knew he wouldn't have gotten any kind of reaction out of Gavin, but it never stopped him from being whom he is. One day, he wants to get an unexpected response from his best friend. That would be great. He smiled at the thought before turning his attention back to the conversation at hand.
That was when Gavin remembered what Daniel asked earlier. "Are we playing tonight?" He asked as his eyes shifted to look at Elijah. His chin still rested in his hand. Elbow propped up on the table.
"Nah, but I will ask when he has a spot open later." Elijah responded. He watched Gavin look at his tea for a moment before speaking again. "Why?" It was curious that he would ask. Normally he just waited until Elijah told him when they were playing.
"No reason really..." he replied as he continued to watch the tea getting darker.
