Sit and wait. Sit and wait. That is all he was getting from[i] them[/i]. Monotony was getting boring but it was needed. He was too bottled up. Drew was about the only one who could deal with being snowed in or the winter months that kept one inside for fear that something would freeze off. Drew had asked him earlier why he was even still here since the others had gone out, or in the case of Paul still with the couple that he’d gone home with on Thursday. To each his own. Ethan grabbed the keys to the Camaro and went to the Swan Songs music store. Getting there and parking he got out. He really didn’t know why he was here but living like a recluse didn’t appeal to him. It never had. What he was really hoping for was something to take his mind off the phone call earlier. Having an ear to the ground couldn’t hurt and being seen in public was always a plus. It all just seemed so dull sometimes. Unless of course a pretty little thing fell in your lap, or offered to keep you warm in a blizzard. Walking into the music store he saw a couple of people he recognized. Marinalia, Victoria’s sister, and Marcus. It had been a while and he wasn’t surprised to see Marcus here but Marinalia, that was interesting. She seemed rather close to the girl that she was with. Like [i]Take Me or Leave Me[/i] from Rent close.[color=red][i] Now that is interesting. I wonder if she’s as quick with her romantic partners as her sister. And isn’t she the one that the tabloid gossip monger pitted her with Joel and his attractive little artist...Siobhan? Hummm...maybe not a wasted trip after all. Maybe I should have gone to her prescreening. But sending Giovanni got him out of my hair. Besides he appreciates art and needed some time off. Wonder if Miss Marinalia can divulge anything to mess with Joel with or if I’ll just have to come up with something on my own.[/i][/color] Ethan sauntered over to Marinalia and her companion.[color=red] “Hello ladies. In the market for new vinyls for your collection or here to hear some of the locals? Good to see that you’re right as rain Marinalia. Who’s your friend?” [/color]He didn’t even try to make his voice sound less arresting than it normally was. Curiosity got the better of him and he sincerely hoped that Marinalia was no worse for her foray in lockup. His posture was non-threatening and openly friendly the smile on his face genuine.
