Kirara and company were surely soon to be disappointed at the true nature of their visitors from Summit, but for said visitors themselves it was a pleasant surprise as they were led through the backstage area. Cas grinned and leaned down slightly toward.his sibling to whisper, [color=F59932]"whoa, they really let us in, Gi."[/color]

With the lights, the assistants, the mics and artists... It sort of felt like getting to go to a private meet with a real celebrity. The idol herself might take some offense if she heard that, but that was the thing wasn't it? They were all pushing the celebrity status first and foremost. The thought didn't hamper Cas' mood so much as kept things in perspective for him.

Eventually they were brought to a dressing room, waited a few minutes before an attendant peeked inside, and then they were let in to see the Dazzling Brilliance in all her backstage glory. Not a drop of sweat to be seen nor a hair out of place. Those assistants were 'talents' in their own right, really.

Gianna inhaled and held a sigh, already seeing where this was going to go from Kirara's first words. On the other hand Cas smiled at the idol, taking her up on the offer of a handshake. Up close he could see she was young, which wasn't surprising. She also seemed genuinely excited to meet, and- wait was that a pun? Did she just say that out loud without a hint of shame? Oh man, he hoped the little cringe he felt didn't show on his face.

Back on topic. Movies- no, wait, heroism! 

[color=F59932]"No way, I don't think I could ever be a writer,"[/color] Cas chuckled. [color=F59932]"My name's Cas -this is Gianna- and I'm one of Summit's heroes. Astraeus."[/color]

There was nothing in his voice that indicated he felt bad about not being recognized. No insistence, no desperation. If there was even pride it was only a little - he'd always put more stock in actions than words or titles. Helping people was what mattered, and struggling so hard for a fanbase was not something he wanted to do... and yet here was this girl in front of him who'd been doing just that.

[color=F59932]"Thanks for agreeing to talk! I wanted to ask about your work. We just caught your performance and you make a great idol! I mean the lights, the choreography, your voice - it was an awesome show!"[/color] Cas kept the smile on his face as he went on. He gestured enthusiastically as he talked until there was a short pause, and he crossed his arms and tipped his head slightly.

[color=F59932]"So... why are you doubling as a hero talent?"[/color]

The question might have come out of no where for 72ka's shining star, but it had been on Cas' mind at least since they'd arrived to the venue and especially after the show had started. Just as earlier his tone and body language suggested that he was entirely genuine in his interest, besides the slight tightness in his face when he'd said 'talent.' He didn't like the term, but it was one everyone in the city was familiar with.
