As the band dispersed and went back to their daily lives for the time being, Damian offered an overly flourishing bow before heading off stage and over to his charge, miss Amelia Averyonna. Over the last couple of years, she and him had spent extensive time together even as he trained in Iaijutsu and Kenjutsu and she had enjoyed listening to the band's jam sessions and recordings when that was where he was to be found while Penny took care of her things. Checking that Andor was still secure in its sheathe after the performance, he joined her at her table, nodding and greeting a couple of other guild members. [color=FireBrick]"You look like we might have woken you up. While I would normally apologize, you do realize how late it is, right?"[/color] Damian grinned and then produced a box of chocolates from the pack that he'd left sitting nearby and sliding it to her.

[color=FireBrick]"Penny and I had to make a quick stop on the Isvanian border before heading back home, so I grabbed you a box of their famous chocolates. Hope you like 'em."[/color]

As always, Jane had greatly enjoyed being on stage, shredding on guitar and the energy of the guild hall. When Damian had suggested they surprise the guild with the band's performance, she'd been iffy, but agreed. After having done so, she was glad she'd gone with the idea instead of against, as many in the guild were still talking excitedly. However, Jane had not missed the young mage known as Percival Grungust turn from a man into a woman named Elena Rainor. Moving quickly, the energy blade mage met her and appraised her. [color=DeepPink]"You know, I had always thought something seemed off, since there were rumors about a Phoenix Wing mage partying at night, but to see you actually exist...Well, I think we need to have a talk with Master Jamie or Jarvis, whom are indisposed with a guild masters meeting."[/color]

How the paladin had gotten roped in to playing bass for a band comprised of mages, he still wasn't sure, but Damian HAD made quite the convincing pitch to do so, and he already liked playing the instrument. Not to mention he and Damian swapped off being the singers, along with Jane. Once they had finished the one set that they'd all agreed to do, James had left the stage and originally intended to head back to his table to keep reading over his ancestor's journal, but the sight of Cody coming in earlier had him wanting to check in on the young man.

However, by the time James reached his pupil's side, Joshua had also walked in and seemed to be interrupting something between Cody and Amaya, which lead to a sudden tension as the paladin spoke, though why it happened was unclear. [color=5397CC]"Cody, Amaya, Joshua, good to see you all. Cody, how did your morning exercise go? Did you work on your incantations for your Light of the Protector? And Miss Amaya, how did your training camp go?"[/color] He waited a moment as he appraised the overworked muscles spasming lightly that he could see with Cody's attire before turning to Joshua. [color=5397CC]"And your job, Joshua? I trust you didn't overextend yourself any."[/color]

Between Pyrhha's encouragement and the fact that Hunter wasn't all in on the fight for once, Jake came out on top, knocking the Dragon Slayer into the edge of the ring for a ring-out victory before he went to join his girlfriend. As he approached, he stretched his arms to their fullest and then let them fall to his side, sliding into the seat next to Pyrhha. [color=SaddleBrown]"I might have won, but we're still going somewhere expensive, I can swing it. What are you feelin' tonight? Steak, fish, shawarma?"[/color]
