Late afternoon Thorsday to Tuesday [/color][/centre][/h3] [hr] Marinalia relaxed and saw Marcus react to the call out and blush a fraction and seemed definitely to be the same one who was the bar for sure. The little nervous reaction matched. Sipping a coffee, she was with Xia and trusted her, slightly ashamed minus Xia she might of not been able to walk in. This place had bad vibes for her. She had to face them though. The therapist was rather good though, and we'll, was right she could bot be afraid of a place forever. [i][color=f6989d]"Yep. Sol Village. Ooh, behind the scenes as to say. Good luck, I prefer it so excellent choice there. my sister is the heavy metal fan. Never expected to end up at the green bar! " [/color][/i] Because of course Sol city was truly a village they all seemed to have some form of connection, Marcus knew Ethen, she met them, Xia and Marlin had met each other multiple times and this new woman knew Marcus... The whole 6 degrees of separation was more like two... Turning to Xia, Mali yeah it was Magnus who coined that one and it stuck. Not she minded, she always had spoiled her cousin much to Marla,s frowns, though she found it hard not to let him have a ice cream, he had a look that just melted any resistance. Well unless you where Marla, mama polar bear was good at keeping her son in line. [i][color=f6989d]"not quite a baby now, but always be my little cousin. Any nicknames you want to share. " [/color][/i] teasing Xia abit, Maria had kids young, and Marla older so there was a good gap, though she shook her head whwn Aunt was used... She was not that old, and always embarrassed her cousin back. Marlin fidgeted slightly with her ring, playing as it glittered in the light unsure what to do with her hand, not feeling quite ready to hold her hand, but not wanting to seem like she was embarrassed by it. This all was alot more than she had expected and her public self and private where in two different places. Though it was nice knowing she had someone she could rely on. Xia just had that kinda vibe about her. No way of explaining it, it just felt... Right. Slightly Suprised by her question she did not notice the woman talk to Marcus as her inner selves debated out what to do and how to act. Hopefully not too obvious but her slate grey eyes where not hiding it very well. [i][color=f6989d]"oh... Sing... I was taught at school, but never done much more that katiokee for years. I prefered riding and switched early on, I loved cross country though. Could vanish for hours at the weekends riding in the woods and grounds. " [/color][/i] with a smile. She loved horse riding, it kinda had flowed into her love of flying, just a horse became a helicopter and then a plane. Her school had taught a rather different ethos, extras classes included finances, business, and many other practical skills for life, excluding its strange love of dance and fencing.. But that was a great stress relase. [i][color=f6989d]"I really should pick it back up now I'm somewhere more permanently. " [/color][/i] Hoping Xia was not thinking about making her sing, or even asking. Going onto that stage might be a step too far for her. Entering the place had been bad ernough. A alittle nudge of her foot closer was a small way of her letting a alittle show without feeling too obvious, a alittle more discreet than holding her hand. Maybe somewhere else, but this place contained darker memories. Wanting a happy, well day, that topic could be answered later I'd it came to it. [i][color=f6989d]"Thanks for, you know." [/color][/i] She did not add to much, nore like the idea of Victoria owing a debt. Of course they had talked, but she appreciated his... Slightly alterior, but helpful motives ensuring they stayed out of note... The papers seemed to be going hard on that incident so maybe it was a good idea someone had made sure there presence went less noticed. Adding a quiet explanation only Xia could hear, she deserved to know, and did not like hiding it as she probbly guessed already. [i][color=f6989d]"He,s Thursday night... Friday morning guy.. Victoria does not want the spotlight but seems to like him. Helped get us, well that's for less public places." [/color][/i] she saw Victoria arrive in friday morning, rather too happy for someone stuck in a power cut, and her whole slightly different walk seemed to tell a rather... Not just sheltering story. Plus the whole long goodbye by the car, well it was obvious they found other ways to keep warm... Seeing Marcus approach the woman. She just have a discreet nod and turned back to her coffee playing with a biscuit like nothing ever happened, once he found his confidence he would be a charmer alright. Musician, to could not hurt his chances. Well she was kinda taken now but hey, could not hurt to nudge someone in the right direction. The woman was dressed nicely, maybe a little under for the cold but the blue dress, warm jumper and boots where bang on trend. Pretty cute style. A blonde haired guy seemed to be hanging around the bar too, obviously the event was more popular than she had expected, the weather did not seem to be keeping people in as much, and many seems to be enjoying there often free day off thanks to the weather forcing many places to close or roads being unsafe to drive. They seemed a alittle lost though. Her train of thought was distracted slightly by a band striking up a good light rock cover with a fraction that had abit of blues to it. Least the music seemed to be good tonight. Sliding and rapping her finger to the beat, ordering refill on her coffee. Sliding a foot close to Xia's, very slowly over the time, she gave a slightly nervous smile. The shell was losing out ever so slowly to the inner self, just coming out in a rather calculated way to try and remain unnoticed, hoping the band would have there attentions well kept where she wanted it.
