He raised an eyebrow and listened politely as Kasei spoke again, which he hadn't really expected her to. She didn't seem like someone who spent most of her time around other peple, or talking to them for that matter. Like himself.
Zack half wanted to explain that he'd gotten the joke. He knew she hadn't been an Eskimo. Well he didn't, but he assumed as much. What were the odds anyway. "That's pretty cool." he nodded and tried to smile. "Which do prefer? Hot or cold?"

"I think we've both heard some of your stuff." James said and nodded, pausing. "And we both liked it." he smiled approvingly. From what James gathered, they seemed to be as hard working a band, as they were themselves. Apshyxia only wanted the best of the best. And that was what went on the record. The best they had, and that was the way they wanted it to stay.
James chuckled at Tanner and nodded. "I'd like a Heineken as well. Thank you very much." he said kindly.

Well this is actually rather nice. Zack thought to himself and tilted his head, his eyes landing on the ground again as he thought. "Oh shit. Jimmy, have you seen my book?" he burst out suddenly and looked at his singer. It was very important to him. All the things he had to remember for songs and the like were in that. When on the road, he didn't have the opportunity to record a riff or a line for a song, so he had to write it down.
Apparently, Kasei had warmed up a bit. Just a little bit. She decided to have a drink as well, and that was always a kind of 'social bridge'. James brushed his long dark brown hair out of his face and took a breath, cracking his knuckles. "Do you guys know any good places to eat around here? Is the hotel kitchen like every other hotel kitchen?" he said to Kasei.
"Stop being picky about your food." Zack said and shot a glance at his friend with a smirk. James shoved him lightly on the shoulder and chuckled.
"Shut up, I'm just in the mood for a nice dinner. We're starting the tour, remember?" he said. Zack shrugged and twisted his mouth.
"Well you keep reminding me twenty-four seven, so how could I forget?" he looked down at one of his tattooed arms and sighed. Zack was from California, so he was used to the heat and he felt right at home here. His eyes settled on Kasei as well as she was the one they were both talking to while awaiting their drinks.
