Joseph got halfway to the little coffee shop that he was heading to for breakfast when his phone buzzed in his pocket. He lessened the force on the pedal and pulled his phone out. Watching the road carefully while he read the text, he decided that he would be going to Village Coffee instead. Liam had invited him to go along to see Zahra Heaven perform, a person that he'd met a few times and enjoyed. She always seemed to be happy when he saw her, and she was a fantastic singer. Only stopping at Village every now and then, he thought that maybe he'd have to go more often, seeing as he knew some of it's customers and performers. 

He made an illegal U-turn, checking for cops before executing it, obviously, and sped down the road. A few minutes passed and he came to a stop along the curb just across the street. Rolling up the windows, he pulled the keys from the ignition and stepped out. Breakfast and a show, definately something he was always up for. He crossed the street and entered the nice little shop. Well, if may have been little once, but it was packed with people. As soon as he entered, the sound of chatting people filled his ears and blocked out everything from the outside. People bought food, got coffee, and just enjoyed the music. He thought he saw a few business men inside, too. 

Joseph quickly scanned the shop for Liam, finding many more people he knew than expected. [i]So much for not knowing anyone else here...[/i] he thought, chuckling a bit out loud. He was talking with a few people, Zahra being one of them. She seemed like a very nice person, he'd seen her performances a few times and thoroughly enjoyed them. As soon as he spotted her, he saw her nearly choke on a banana and look at Roxanne rather surprised. Joseph smirked, not caring about what had just happened, only the outcome. Not only was Liam speaking with Zahra, but he was with Roxanne and Ryder as well. He'd never heard Roxanne sing, but he had heard that she was very good. In fact, he may have asked her to sing once or twice, which now that he thought about it, may have seemed creepy. He pushed it to the back of his mind as he looked to Ryder. He'd seen her around, not too terribly often, but knew she was in his building. She seemed alright. He snapped back into reality and walked over to Liam, dodging customers on the way.

[color=42c0c4]"Hey hey hey,"[/color] he laughed, [color=42c0c4]"so much for not knowing anybody here! I appreciate the invite, I'm always up for seeing Zahra perform! Zahra, always nice to see you, good luck up there. Roxanne, Ryder, how's it going? Nice to see you two here, too!"[/color] He bowed his head in respect to each of them, then clapped his hands together. [color=42c0c4]"What'd I miss?"[/color]

He ran his hand through his hair, scratching his head while he did so. Why he hadn't come here more often he didn't know, but he certainly liked the atmosphere. He wasn't very fond of loud noises, but this was pleasant. The voices of the crowd of people was almost comforting, he knew that nobody would pay attention to him in large groups. He wasn't sure how much the story of his past had been passed around, crossing his fingers that it was over for now. He glanced around and was happy all was well and normal. As soon as he realized this, he turned his attention imediately back to the small group of people before him. It was clear that something had just happened, or else Zahra probably wouldn't have almost choked on that darn banana.
