Private Live Performance

There was certainly an air of uncertainty about Carmin as he made his way down the strip. His comfort zone was long gone now, and needless to say, he was nervous about what exactly he was walking into. He'd never been to the Fox Hole, or any place anything like it for that matter. But there was no turning back now. He'd already purchased the nice dress shirt he was wearing, tucked into his usual school pants. He'd also told Fe he'd come and he didn't want to go back on his word. And perhaps, just perhaps, he may have wanted to go a little bit himself.

When he finally came upon the light up sign in the shape of a fox, he made sure to pull his MSD bracelet out and roll back his sleeve just a bit to make it more obvious. He imagined they might not let kids in here alone and just in case he'd try to avoid any issues. With one final deep breath, he headed inside.

With little trouble, he made it inside, quickly coming across Hella who brought him to a reserved table. He spent the next little bit of time, looking around. The area was odd, it felt like he was out in the woods, except maybe a tad more magical. He still felt out of his element, though he supposed it was a neat place.

It wasn't long before Carmin noticed Fe making her way over to his table. She was pretty dressed up, making her difficult to miss. He gave a weak wave as she got near.

"Yeah, I- uh, try not to go back on my word." He still could hardly believe he was there either. It still felt wrong to him somehow. "Besides, it's good for me to get out of my room from time to time, and it is kind of nice in here." He looked conflicted for a moment, then continued. "And I suppose I'd like to hear you sing." He looked away and blushed a little while he said the last bit..

"It's alright if you do, I don't actually care that much about them and my name isn't connected to them so I don't really have much to lose. I'm really just doing this for the money at the end of the day." He said that, but in reality it wasn't how he felt. He really did care about how all of this went. He certainly didn't want anyone finding out he was doing this, but it felt good to be talented at anything for a change. It had been ages since he could have any sort of feeling like that.

"Um, so when do you go up there?"

Carmin blushed when Fe exposed him, though he didn't admit to her being right. That being said, he never told her she was wrong either.

It felt weird hearing his work referred to as his babies. But he did understand what she was saying. In a sense they were like children. Except with maybe a little too much angst. Plus they were embarrassing, children weren't supposed to be embarrassing. Well, they could be, but you weren't supposed to admit it.

His voice got quiet. "Um, I'll try I suppose." He faked a cough. "Not that I do care right now, cause I don't. But I'll try to be proud."

Carmin bit his lip and his face was lighter in colour, but he held his ground. He wasn't going to admit anything. Although in hindsight perhaps that did just mean he was being stubborn. He huffed. Even if Fe could read him like a book, he couldn't let her know that.

When Fe told him she'd be leaving to perform, Carmin dropped his expression. "Oh, um, good luck. And sure, will do." He couldn't actually eat anything or drink anything other than water though, so he probably wasn't going to be ordering a whole bunch.

He wasn't sure how or why, but he actually started to feel a little nervous once Fe had left. It didn't make much sense though, it was Fe who probably should've been getting nervous now, not him...
