"Why did I listen at all? even though you'll enjoy yourself?"
Two weeks.
How time seemed to fly when you weren't paying attention to it. This had been the case for Erys. Somehow, Ava managed to convince, with a bit of help from her ever dutiful familiar, Erys to attend one of the talent shows. While Erys wasn't one to shy away from playing in public, doing something like that was a bit...much? She didn't know, not to mention she should be patrolling the grounds as a prefect. Instead, here she was standing in front of a mirror adorned in a plain black dress. It wasn't anything extravagant, not like what most of the Day Class students were wearing, and she was content with that.
Vincent, on the other hand, was not too thrilled about his choice of attire. Erys had made him wear a suit that looked completely ridiculous, especially for his standards. It didn't help that she pulled his hair back into a ponytail, allowing some loose strands to cover his face in the process. His outfit made him look like someone's butler if anything, and that did not sit well with Vincent. He, however, metaphorically, bit his tongue and wore the outfit if only to please her. He had left long before Erys had and was already mingling with the crowd.
Erys took a deep breath and released it slowly. Although she was supposed to represent her status as a prefect, she hadn't particularly took care in her outfit or her appearance. The dress itself wasn't too casual, but it still held as much. Satisfied, she made her way towards the open stage where Ava was surely waiting for her. The music piece the both of them had decided upon was something they had practiced on the day after Ava convinced Erys to do the duet with her. She couldn't refuse the Ellsworth girl, and she'd fail miserably if she tried. She chuckled softly to herself as she greeted a few of the students and ignored a few that were feeling bold.
It didn't take her long to approach the stage and walked backstage. Immediately, she spotted Ava with her violin case, waiting in the back. She waved towards Ava, weaving her way towards the girl. Once she was beside Ava, she smiled brightly. "Are you ready for this? We are the second performance," she stated as she glanced from behind the curtains. She spotted the Alistair vampire and the Morgenstern vampiress sitting together in a table, both male and female students keeping their distance from the two. It was evident on their faces though that they wanted to converse with the two vampires.
Vincent sat not more than three tables away, face buried in a book that had no particular meaning to him. He was only here to watch his sister's performance with von Nacht's assistant, something he was expecting. Although he would never admit it outloud, music had always been something he enjoyed in his life. Granted, music itself was a dying form of art that seemed repetitive over the current years, hearing something new would be intriguing. He knew Erys played the piano, and had mentioned that she would be doing so with Ava during the show. Ava, however, would be playing the violin.
Jasper would also be attending the show, playing the piano as well. At this, Vincent cracked a very light smirk. It seemed piano playing ran in the family somewhere down the line. They might not seem so, but a few generations down the line linked both the von Nacht's and the Kuragari's, something that had interested Vincent at one point before the untimely death of his father. His eyes roamed the area, spotting the Hunters who were attending, blending in with the students. Some seemed genuinely glad to be here while others appeared irritated and ready to leave.
Vincent only sighed as he closed his book, eyes fixed on the stage as Erys and Ava were next to be called.
