Leon looked up, suppressing an uneven grin as he saw Evie had come over to talk to him again. What a perfect time to have sent Hal away to get a drink. He straightened up slightly so she could get a better look at the guitar.

"Yeah that'd be awesome," he said, "I think Kyle's keen to get a sound-check in good and early, plus he's been dicking around with the setlist so we gotta adjust to the new goal posts. Fun stuff."

He looked down at his black Lace Helix Maya, and stopped played, taking his hand away from the fretboard to show her something.

"Yeah I should give you the heads up about this," he said with a grin, "in case you ever need to give the guitar's an intonation set-up during a gig. This is a Lace Helix, you don't see many of them around. It's the only guitar which has a deliberate 30 degree twist in the neck. Throws a lot of roadies who haven't seen one before, makes 'em think the wood had warped drastically or something."

He looked at her taking the information in. He could see from her eyes that she had a fertive mind and a keen interest in music technology. When Kyle had said fifteen minutes to sound check, Leon had though 'yeah right in your dreams', but actually Evie pretty much had everything to the point where they were just about ready to go. The only thing from preventing sound check from going ahead was Hal and Emil coming back with the drinks.

"So you planning to head off, come back and dress down the stage later," Leon said to her, "or you gonna stick around for the show? Maybe even work sound desk? I mean John's good on desk but when he's having a good time it's a little difficult getting his attention if we need something hiked up or down, y'know what I'm saying."
