[color=9e0b0f][centre][h1]Marcus Ainsworth[/h1][/centre][/color] [centre][h2]Swan Songs[/h2][/centre] Interactions:[@Majoras End][@PrinceAlexus][@King Tai][@Almalthia] + Anyone else at Swan Songs [hr] Marcus smiled at Reya’s response to his drink offer, flagging down the bartender and ordering another beer, before taking a sip of his own. He nodded, letting out a slightly uneasy snicker. [color=9e0b0f]“Thanks… I’m always nervous before a show, but it helps having people cheering for me, I guess.”[/color] He smiled at the blue-haired girl, shaking his head slightly. [color=9e0b0f]“I don’t think you’re that awkward. You managed to get up on stage for karaoke that night, remember?”[/color] His attention was diverted back to Ethan as the taller rockstar started to speak, offering a jam, and suggesting that the two other women should join him for a song. Marcus shrugged with a slight smile. [color=9e0b0f]“Sure, that’d be fun. I’m sure we could work something out.”[/color] When Ethan referred to Reya as his date, Marcus couldn’t help but blush slightly, but before he could say anything, Rei protested quite adamantly, and again when Marinalia made her comment. This made Marcus’ red face get deeper, resigning back into his shyer self abit. Was the thought of being on a date with him that awful? [color=9e0b0f]“Oh… Uh.. Yeah… What she said.”[/color] Marcus grabbed his beer and took a long sip from it, before exhaling deeply, trying to find a way to excuse himself from the now awkward situation before he made it worse by panicking or bursting into tears. It wasn’t a big issue really, but when his nerves are already heightened, the slightest upset can become catastrophic in the timid musician’s mind. [color=9e0b0f]“I… Uh… I should go get ready for my set.”[/color] He gave the group a little awkward wave, before turning to Reya. [color=9e0b0f]“Umm, take a seat anywhere, I guess, and I’ll, umm, come find you after my set.”[/color] He mumbled with a forced smile before walking off towards the stage to get his guitar ready.
