Lyric was enjoying her meal, a treat out gifted by Nocturne since she’d landed the lead role in what would be a production put on come the summer holidays. She was really excited, and twice as proud of herself; she’d worked hard, and it had paid off. Lyric had been vibrating with her delight when she’d come home from dance that afternoon, and told Nocturne – Papa was away on business again – but she’d sent her father a text message; he hadn’t replied yet, but she knew he would be happy for her, too.
“Who are you staring at?” She asked Nocturne quietly, leaning forward some before trying to follow his gaze. It took her a moment before she spotted a couple at a table across the room. There wasn’t anything particularly notable about the pair at first, though they were both attractive she wasn’t sure they were worth her brother’s mild frown. It seemed the girl had most of his attention, and Lyric was going to make a teasing comment about him wanting to eat with her, when she finally recognised the man opposite her.
“Ooh! Noct! Noct! that’s Rhys Evans!” her voice pitched high on the name, but not above a whisper as she reached across the table to shake her brother’s arm, squeezing with her fingertips before she suddenly pushed up from her chair, flushing at his raised eyebrow. “I need a signature!” she gushed, forgetting for a moment that they were in a restaurant, and the couple probably wouldn’t like to be interrupted. After a disproving frown, Nocturne finally allowed her to go before the other couple received their food, and Lyric squealed happily to herself.
It took a moment, and finally Lyric had found her little pocket printer, and with a few taps on the ap on her phone, she’d printed off a picture of Cody beaming at the camera like a lunatic. It was perfect! It was a shame his birthday was so far away, because Lyric knew she’d never be able to wait that long to surprise him. She could hardly wait to show him, and she hadn’t even gotten the signature yet! Pushing away from her seat, she wove her way quickly through the tables, and cautiously approached the couple.
Lyric waited for a natural pause in their conversation – the girl had asked a question and it looked like Rhys was getting ready to answer, when Lyric quickly slipped up to the table and offered a shy but excited smile. “Excuse me, Mr. Evans? Would—Would you please sign this for my friend?” Her smile bloomed into one of hopeful mischief as she thrust the small photo of Cody towards the other mage, and a pen she kept in her purse.
She waited patiently as the signature was signed, bouncing delicately on the tips of her toes. “Thank you thank you thank you!” she babbled, taking the photo and the pen back and beaming happily. “Enjoy your dinner!” she added, flashing a smile at the woman before darting back through the restaurant, taking her seat with a wriggle and a grin. “I got it!” she gushed, cradling the photo in her hands before carefully sliding it into her purse, and putting her pen away. She couldn’t wait to show Cody!
