Oscar and Mari get flooded by people from all sides.

Oscar takes it all in stride, smiling and posing for photos while Mari panics. She tries her hardest to listen to people as they talk to her but the fact that there are so many people surrounding them both makes her nervous.

Mari smiles as yet another person asks her how she developed her strumming style. She feels like there's no room to breathe anymore. She feels-feels-

"Sorry, everyone but Mari and I have to leave now."

Oscar's voice rises over everyone's as he grabs hold of her hand and begins to lead her towards a back room. Luckily, none of the people follow them and after the door closes, Mari can once again breathe.

She kneels to the floor and puts her head between her legs. She concentrates on breathing in and out. 'In, out. In, out,' she tells herself.

Mari looks up and Oscar is there, standing off to the side, giving her space.

"Ya estoy bien." ("I'm okay now.")

She tightens her hold on her guitar. She hates it when she has these outbursts in front of other people. She stands back up.

Oscar smiles, "No problem. Sorry about the fans. I didn't expect anyone to really recognize me here."

Mari shakes her head, "You're in Star Wars, man. Everyone in the world is going to recognize you."

He laughs and it makes Mari laugh as well. They stop when someone opens the door and Mari readies herself to leave. She can't deal with any more questions.

Only it's Mist. She closes the door firmly before heading towards them both.

"Mist, I- muchas gracias por el trabajo!" ("..thank you so much for the job.")

Mist nods, handing Mari her pay before glaring at Oscar, "Oscar, te dije que no hagas bulla." ("Oscar, I told you not make a commotion.")

Oscar shrugs while he smiles, "I need to support my fellow artists."

Mist glares at him before turning that glare to Mari. Mari freezes.

"Y tu, what's with the stage fright?"

Mari swallows, "It happens sometimes. I-I can't help it."

Mist sighs, "You are good. I've only seen one other person play like you and he tours the world now. Get rid of stage fright y tu tambien viajeras." ("...and you will travel too.")

Mari nods before Mist shakes both her and Oscar's hands. She take a couple bills from her back pocket and gives it to Mari.

"There's a back exit. Vayanse por ahi." ("Leave through there.")

Mist leaves as Mari puts her guitar on her back. She looks at Oscar and hesitates before speaking.

"You hungry?"
