“We’re not-,” Lute began, but Lucien suddenly spun a tale about the three of them being students with different specialties. [i]‘Well, I suppose the music thing is true but…’[/i] The virtuoso’s eyes narrowed as Riannon attached herself to Syed under the guise of asking about his creations, while Leah’s interest in Lucien peaked thanks to that white lie. Well… Whether he wanted it or not, now he was a music student; saying anything different would embarrass Lucien and he didn’t want to ruin the… not-so-fun fun, even if it was kind of nasty assuming a fake identitiy. “Are you alright?” He mouthed to the dark-skinned mage. If past interactions were to go by, he guessed that Syed felt nearly the same way he did about this situation.

Also, since they were near to the bar where some of their friends were, Lute glanced over to see how the others were holding up- and perhaps to seek help as well. The nobleman who was looking at them earlier was, as he thought, nursing a drink there, so the virtuoso’s suspicions were for naught. Still, Amy, Moira, Aria and Dylan looked like they were having their own brand of fun so…

“Sooo, what’s Claude like?” Lute laughed lightly as he turned his attention back to their group and found that Charlotte’s brown eyes were shimmering with fanatical fervor. He barely had a second to regret his decision when she crowed “I have pictures of him!” before taking out a yellow purse- a perfect match for her chartreuse gown- to fish out a handful of [url= http://www.petguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/west-highland-white-terrier-11.jpg]photographs[/url]. 

“He’s the fluffiest fluffy-wuffy in the entire world! But Mother didn’t allow me to bring him along so…” The brunette quipped sadly before flashing Lute with a photograph. The virtuoso’s eyes grew wide and his cheeks turned pink as he snatched the shot and stared at it in obvious adoration. Looks like Claude won him over too. The two of them pored over the dog’s puppy pictures, either one or both gushing every now and then until the virtuoso finally shoved the larger pictures at Lucien and Syed’s faces.

“Look at him! Look look look! He’s sooo adorable!”
