Manami chuckles and pulls an acoustic guitar from behind the log she was sitting on. She stands and hands it to Blank before returning to her seat. "I play too, a little. I figured you might be interested in playing a little since you mentioned you play earlier. Although Once the trouble twins over there get drunk there will be no lack of entertainment," Manami says, gesturing lazily to Aki and Mioko. Aki grins, then steals the flask from Blank, taking another sip before handing it back to Mioko, who had just opened a beer. She smiles and takes a sip from the flask, then hands it back to Aki, who hangs onto it, taking a sip every few minutes.

Raising his brows in surprise as Manami pulled a guitar out of nowhere, he smiled and rose, taking it in his hand before taking a seat beside Aki again, "Yeah? Aki gets drunk?" He asked with a gingerly smile as he looked over at her, "Is she a lightweight or something?" He gave a light chuckle as he gave a wink to Aki with a grin.
Striking an open chord on the guitar, he tuned it up, twisting the machine heads till all the strings seemed to be in perfect unison to him, "...Any requests?" He asked, playing a few simple chords first to get his fingers used to the foreign fretboard.

"Oh, does she ever. Her and Mioko are absolutely ridiculous if they have alcohol in them," Manami says with a chuckle. "Am not!" Aki argues, taking another long sip from the flask. Aki's cheeks were slightly flushed, and it was obvious that the liquor was already starting to affect her. She really didn't drink that often, especially not hard liquor, and with the way she'd been drinking out of the flask it was safe to say she was definitely a little light-headed. Mioko doesn't look as tipsy, but she does shotgun her beer before tossing the can into an empty bag and grabbing another. It was obvious nights like this were common for the girls. All four girls shrug as Blank asks for requests. Aki places her hand on his knee encouragingly and says, "Play anything you like."

Blank broke into a light laugh as he watched Aki take a long sip from the flask, seeing the pink in her cheeks which told him otherwise of her not feeling buzzed atleast. Striking a few chords again, he thought about what to play before breaking into a light tune, strumming away at the song, "It's been awhile...so if I don't play very good...you'll know why." He laughed as he continued, looking over at Aki with a smile.
The melody was calming and smooth. Clearing his throat...alittle more than necessary, he began to sing the lyrics softly...easing into the voice, "There's a house... And there's the doorway. Been locked out..."

Aki smiles as Blank begins to play. Thinking back on it, she didn't think she had ever heard him play before. She closes her eyes and listens to the music intently. Mioko sways in her seat, dancing along to the tune, Manami takes a long drag of her cigarette, watching Blank, and Rina actually uncovers her face from her book and peeks over the edge of it to watch Blank as he plays. Aki squeezes Blank's knee again, smiling happily.

Blank swayed in his own seat as his eyes closed in concentration, uttering the words in a low voice as his hands played the familiar tune lightly, "And you can...See right through me, and you can...see right through me." He carried his voice with warmth as the fire cracked. Feeling Aki's hand on his knee, he opened his eyes slightly, giving her a smile as his thumb and fingers struck the strings lightly.

Aki opens her eyes and grins at Blank, gazing at him lovingly. She takes another long sip from the flask, then continues to watch him play with a smile. Mioko, still dancing in her seat, downs the last of her second beer and reaches for a third.

When the song came to an end, he slide his fingers down the fretboard with a final strike of an A7 chord, "Wow, it's been awhile." He said with a smirk, looking over at Aki with a warm smile, "You gonna drink that all on your own?" He asked with a lighthearted chuckle.

All four girls clap as Blank finishes playing. "You're very good," Manami says, cracking open another beer. Aki kisses him on the cheek affectionately, and smiles as he looks over at her. She gives a little hiccup after taking yet another sip from the flask, and hands it to Blank. "I could if I wanted to!" she says, hiccuping again. The blush in her cheeks had deepened, and there was a little smile stuck on her face. Aki reaches over Mioko and grabs a beer, and proceeds to 'race' her to see who could drink theirs the fastest. Mioko wins, and Aki coughs as she laughs, nearly choking on the last few sips.

He grinned before taking the flask and taking a long drink. It burned at the throat again, but tasted great as it went down. With another contentful sigh, he twisted the cap on before nodding to Manami, "Thanks! I used to be in a band back in Dollet, but I chose to become a SeeD instead of bein' a rockstar." Blank said with a grin, before looking over at Aki and Mioko who began to drown themselves in their beers, breaking into a light laughter as Aki began to cough at the last couple bits of beer she had left.

Aki catches her breath and looks to Blank with a big, fake pout. "Are you laughing at me, mister?? What if I choked to death... and died??" she says through another hiccup. She wraps her arms around his neck and kissing his cheek again. "You big meanie," she says, grinning.

With a grin, Blank set the guitar down at his side a moment before wrapping his arms lovingly, "Awwww. I'd help you before you choked to death and died." He said with a wide smile smile as he mimicked her drunken words, "Will you ever forgive me?" He asked, a wide grin on his face.

"She'll forgive you as soon as she passes out drunk and forgets," Manami says, chuckling. Aki gives her a glare, and throws her empty beer can at her friend, missing terribly. "I'm not drunk.. I'm just a little... tipsy!" Aki says defensively. Mioko laughs, cracking yet another beer. Manami joins in on her laughter and says, "You could get drunk sniffing bottlecaps. And considering you've probably drank half that flask by now, I'd say you are good and drunk."

He laughed at Manami's response and Aki's failed attempt to hit her with the empty can of beer, "...You sound like you're slurring your words a bit there, Aki." Blank grinned before giving her thigh a light squeeze, "You might be border-lining hammered soon I think." He teased, laughing along Mioko and Manami.

"Everyone is so mean to me..." Aki says putting on another fake pout. She crosses her arms and gives a big, fake sniff. Manami rolls her eyes and Rina gives a tiny giggle. "Aaaand that's when we know Aki doesn't get anymore liquor.. otherwise she really won't remember anything," Mioko says, still laughing.
