Lillith stifled a yawn. "You're lucky Carmilla woke up extra early for her voice exercises, today. I may not have bothered to get out of bed, otherwise. Why did you want to meet during daylight hours, anyway?"

Carmilla looked at Barrel, her attention drawn away from the topic at hand, though not in the direction he'd intended. "Now I know why you and your sister can barely manage the notes you're given to work with. [i]I[/i] practice my singing every day -- twice, even, if it doesn't interfere with Halloween preparation. I'm not surprised neither of you have the dedication to put any more than the bare minimum of work into it."

Agatha was too polite to roll her eyes at the disdainful sniff that followed the vampiress' comment. Carver, on the other hand, was not. 

Luckily, he was already into his 'Corvin' act, so it took minimal effort to refrain from doing so. Instead, he waved in response to the introduction and focused on continuing the conversation as it had turned. "Band, practice?" he asked.
