Snippet #2626180

Dai almost winced when he watched Gabrielle hug (or was she trying to crush their lungs, he couldn't really tell) the newcomer and to his side he saw a similar expression on Gavriel's face. Oliver even ended up remarking on it, sounding somewhat amused. Dai wasn't entirely sure how she survived the encounter as he and Gavriel finished introducing themselves. When he glanced over at the guitarist he saw him flash Evie one of his brightest grins and saw her visibly slow down when she reached him. Well, some things never changed now did they? Daisuke was used to Gavriel's antics by now. He recalled when his sister had been hired to do album artwork for the band before he'd joined on and while Akira had never said Gavriel was overly flirtatious with her he had the feeling that he had been based on the way she had talked about him and that vaguely amused way her lips would tilt up at the corners whenever she mentioned the vocalist. Not that he noticed much of that on the occasions that she met up with Gavriel now though.

To his surprise yet another person walked in, probably the other group's missing bassist. The seemingly ever eager Gabrielle grabbed them by the arm and proudly introduced the bewildered looking person as 'Vi' and while they looked like a man he couldn't help but think that they didn't seem especially masculine in terms of behavior and he couldn't completely tell if it was because of Gabrielle's overwhelming personality or what that seemed to make them rather uncomfortable. When Gabrielle made the Clint Eastwood remark he noticed that Vi really didn't seem to appreciate that at all. He wouldn't make any assumptions about that though because he could always be wrong and besides, what did he really have to go off of other than mannerisms? When Farah surprised him by striking up a conversation with them he overheard them say they preferred to be called Vivi. Ah. He still refused to jump to conclusions but he felt now it was probably a somewhat safe bet that they probably didn't identify as a man. He offered them a wave and his name as did Gavriel before the vocalist turned his attention back to Evie.


When Evie asked the two of them a question, Gavriel happily answered. "Actually no. I had no idea. When they came charging into the studio I half wondered if the place was haunted and we were all going to meet unfortunate ends at the hands of a poltergeist. Oliver was going to be the first to go." He told her with a grave shake of his head shortly followed by an amused smile.

"I didn't know about it either." Dai chimed in, shrugging slightly.

"So, you're the drummer?" Gavriel asked, temporarily forgetting about his hunger and his earlier contemplation of the odds of being able to convince Daisuke's sister to bring him food if she wasn't busy. It wasn't so often that one saw a female drummer so he always found it interesting to meet one - plus there was the fact that she was really quite beautiful to hold his attention.


Dai listened to the exchange for a moment and then looked toward the figure hovering on the very outskirts of the group - Kai he was pretty sure his name was, he had only heard it quietly when the guitarist had spoken to Oliver. He looked like he mostly wanted to be left alone as he leaned against a wall, still holding his guitar case and watching them all from a distance. Dai felt inclined to let him be, especially considering the fact he himself kind of wanted to go back to the room and start working on some ideas rather than try to make small talk although he supposed this might be a good thing since they were probably going to be running into each other quite a bit.
