Whenever he stopped guiding her, she felt that was her cue to open her eyes. As blue hues flutter open, they widen instantaneously as they fall upon the large sign – her name shining bright in neon lights. It wasn’t the first time she had seen one of these signs, but it was the first time getting such a close look at it, & actually getting a chance to let it sink in.
A soft sigh escaped her, breath billowing out in a faint cloud in the chilly air as she released her hold on Blacksad’s arm, taking a few steps forward. This … this was more special than Blacksad probably knew. To her, this meant EVERYTHING – proof that she finally made it. That the band finally made it. That … SHE was recognized, just as much as the others.
Her gaze shifted to the chairs & bottle of champagne, a small, warm smile forming upon her lips. Damn … he kinda went all out. Who thought she was so special?
“ Quite the set up, Sads. It’d be a shame not to share it with someone, especially with said someone who set it all up. ”
Casting him a glance, she rested a hand briefly upon his arm before taking a seat in one of the chairs. She grabbed the champagne bottle & popped the top off, making quick work to pour them both a glass.
“ Well? Are you gonna join me or what? ”
Though he tried to hide it, the cat may have been looking for her reaction. It wasn’t often he came up with gifts, which was truly a shame, but maybe the fear of disappointment was what kept him form doing so. After all, it was just another sign, and maybe the pyrotechnics during the show made her eyes tired by now. Sure, another bright light probably isn’t what she’s looking for right now
As she steps forward, ears tilt back, awaiting a flat, ‘Jeez, thanks’. Why was he so nervous anyway ? That’s right, if she didn’t care for it, they’d simply go about their night, likely retiring early. Yet olive eyes still follows her to the table, a spark of hope rising up his chest. When she finally speaks again, a smile returns across broad features, silently thrilled.
Resting down after she had settled, Blacksad is so bold as to take up a glass, stealing a sip before leaning back. His own eyes remained on her for a good moment, only to flick back to the sign instead. That was the safer option, after all. “ Funny. Don’t think many people get to see their names like this. The highest I’ve gotten is a wanted poster. ” He chuckles while swirling the glass. “It’s quite the honor to be here for it, if you don’t mind my saying. ”
