*Sonico had performed at the concert to the best of her ability, singing energetically and wearing the adorable pink dress that Crystal had helped her pick out. It was nerve wracking, but she thought it had gone reasonably well and she hoped they enjoyed her show. If there were fans of cute, upbeat rock music out there, then hopefullu Sonico had given them something to enjoy.

Now Sonico was exhausted, but she figured she might as well go via the festival to see what was going on there. Sonico didn't seem to be going anywhere with any purpose, just drifting in the direction of something to eat or drink*

[Terrance had watched the concert as well as Sonico's display on Wednesday. He'd watch all of them to be honest and found it very strange and slightly arousing. He walks up behind Sonico and clears his throat.]

Heading home love?

[He frowns.]

You look ragged.

*Sonico was tired enough that she was paying less attention to her surroundings than usual, so she hadn't even noticed him approaching. When he clears his throat, Sonico is physically startled, and looks suddenly more alert*

Oh! Oh, Terrance, hi!

*Her expression changes into a smile when she sees him and she nods gently*

If you mean I look super tired and exhausted after a real long and nerve wracking day, then yes, I'm not surprised I look that way.

[Terrance lightly places a hand on her back when she startles.]

I can walk you.

[He is physically capable of doing that.]

*Her cheeks tinge a little with his hand on her back, but she's tired enough that she leans into it for a moment instead of moving away*

Thank you. That would be nice.

*It's then Sonico takes a moment to gather her bearings and realise where she is*

Would you mind if I picked up a coffee from somewhere?

[When she pulls away his hands are shoved promptly into his pockets.]

Of course love. It won't keep you awake to long will it?

[She looks like she needs to sleep.]

*Sonico begins walking towards a tiny coffee stop that is reasonably close by to her apartment, and turns to Terrance and shakes her head*

I don't think so. Besides, even if it wakes me up I actually have a day off tomorrow so I can get some real sleep. Today was so busy so for once I'm looking forward to a bit of relaxing.

[He nods accepting her reasoning as sound.]

What are you doing tomorrow?

Sleeping! Lots of delicious sleeping!

*Sonico smiles at him, clearly relishing the thought that she might actually get some rest*

That is, until the evening...

*She slows down as they get closer to the coffee place, glancing at Terrance from the corner of her eye*

For the masked ball...

The what?

[She's looking at him like he's suppose to know what that is but this is the first time that he's heard of it. He knows what masked balls are but one is happening tomorrow?]

The masked ball.

*How does he not know about this? She's been excited about it since she first heard about it*

A masquerade. To celebrate the end of the festival. It's tomorrow night.

*There's a chance that he might pick up the slight down note in her voice - because if he didn't know about it then that probably means he's not going*

Is it?

[Not that he doesn't believe her but he's unsure what else to say on the matter.]

II suppose it's formal?

[That thought brings a frown to Terrances lips. He has absolutely nothing to wear to a formal event...]

It is. And yes, I imagine it will be formal.

*At least, she hopes it is because she's bought her outfit and everything. When they reach the small cafe, Sonico opens the door and holds it open*

Shall we get some coffee?

[Terrance reaches above her and grabs hold of the door.]

After you.

[He's still debating if he wants coffee.]

Thank you.

*Sonico nods and skips past him into the small cosy place. She heads over to the counter and greets the girl serving her. After making her order, she turns to Terrance*

Would you like anything? To sit or to go?

[He follows behind her pausing when they get to the counter. At her question he simply addresses the woman behind the counter with an even tone, his accent making him sound as if he knows what he's talking about.]

To go and the blond dark roast, medium.

*Which makes her feel all the more embarrassed when she gets handed over her mocha with cream and chocolate powder. At least it's hidden in a paper cup. Sonico takes some money from her pocket and pays for both their coffees*

You like good coffee hmm? It's really nice here. The hot chocolate too.

I don't eat a lot of sweet things.

[They're expensive and black coffee is easy and he's sort of to lazy to put anything in his coffee.]

I've never had a lot of chocolate.

[He doesn't hate it, just doesn't have a lot of experiance with it.]

Right.

*She'll remember that, just in case she ever needs to know what he does or doesn't like to eat or drink. Sonico waits until they are back outside before taking a sip on her drink, eyes closed as she savours the taste*

That is exactly what I needed - something strong and sweet. It's been such a long, long day for me.

[Terrance takes a sip of his drink enjoying the warmth that spreads through him.]

I can't imagine.

[Seriously he can't.]

Well, let's see... Yesterday was busy for a start. I had some...model work.

*Aka a wet shirt competition*

Then I was up this morning for band practise, then worked a shift at the diner, and I'm only just done with the concert. That part was real fun though.

I saw.

[Terrance wishes he hadn't just said that.]

Let's just get you home.

You saw?

*Sonico's face lights up at the thought that he was at her very first concert here, especially as she wasn't sure that it was something he'd be interested in*

Did you enjoy it?

*But then she pauses and stares at him as she realises he wasn't specific about what he saw and her eyes open wide*

Which event..did you see?

[Terrance keeps walking a head of her.]

Both.

*Good thing he's ahead because her face is bright red and to add to her surprise Sonico nearly drops her coffee cup, spilling hot coffee onto her hand*

Ow!

*Then silence as they continue walking until she has the courage to pipe up*

I - I hope you had a nice time at...both.
