"Sorry to disappoint you." Arc gave Xander a smirk although she might be kind to him by removing the tape later for his dance after the concert. Honestly, she had no desire to play the triangle and knew her playing would make everyone cringe around her. "I'll leave the playing for you two. Being some eyecandy is good enough for me today." There really was a benefit to knowing a seer for fashion related matters, and Cassandra having a good sense of fashion helped as well.
She let the musicians talk shop a little while and then her friend entered. Arc looked at Cassie, grinning at her comment, and returning her greeting with a quick hug. Just as she had hoped, Cassie looked great in her top and the rest of her outfit. "No tambourines! I was totally joking about the triangle. And it's good to have kind teachers like that," she said. Her excitement about the concert grew because she knew they'd have fun playing music and dancing with or without an audience.
The mention of a shopping trip was wonderful! She didn't really believe that the concert would be successful, but she'd have to wait to see. Cassandra earned herself more cool points in her book and Arc grinned. "Oh yes, definitely shopping. We'll hit the stores hard. I need to get the two of you into more dresses," she said. "Something with offshoulder action..." Ideas started to form. "I'd love to do your makeup too." Why not pull all the stops? She liked to go bold and extravagent some of the time.
