SETTING: a luxury hotel

[secretsymphony]

[Tonight's gig has just ended and the band has split up to enjoy the luxuries of the hotel for a couple of hours before their driver comes to pick up both them and their equipment. Their instruments look sort of lonely, left behind up there - on the small, round stage in the corner of the room. It's a nostalgic observation that Shiori makes, glancing back over one shoulder before sitting down on one of the free stools at the long, mahogany bar and it makes her feel strangely estranged. From the situation. From her surroundings. Although she's a stranger to neither.

Cocking her head slightly, she surveys the selection of alcohol on the shelves behind the bartender. Lets her eyes run over each bottle individually while she tries to make her pick. She can't, though. The jitters from performing have died down and left her with no hole to fill. If she's drinking, she'll be drinking to fill the silence instead and there are other ways to do that, right? Thus, she turns her attention towards the person next to her.]

What do you think I should get? I'm drawing a complete blank.

[He's only sitting there because he's slacking off.]

Who, me? I'm just the janitor, sorry.

[Ren's been absorbed in both her own drink and letting herself unwind from attending the concert. Being around a lot of people like that still stresses her out, though she's gotten much better in the past few years. Still, she'd rather be on stage than in the audience.

So while she's noticed someone's sat down next to her, she doesn't immediately realize who it is. Until the question is asked and she looks up with a start]

Oh, um... Well, what do you normally like?
