   "ha!  she's lovely,"  eva grinned,  turning her head a little to hide the more smitten look that flashes across her face at the idea of jane only coming to see her.  which was a laughable idea!  or,  she'd pretend that.  she wondered how often she'd be able to actually see jane whilst they were touring,  and couldn't bear to think about the distance!  
              the bassist raised a brow at alex's question,  tapping her finger against her chin whilst she actually thought about it.  "i would be...  impressed.  slightly scared.  i'll put that at a...  five and a half.  ten being  'oh my god that's the best idea ever' and one being 'i cant even look at you cause that's such a bad idea'."

"I've seen yous talking after our shows... I think she only goes to see us playing because of you," that was meant to be delivered as a joke, but the poor guy had no idea how damn right he was! ...Not that Jane didn't care about her brother, but... he's her brother. She was his fan before he was even famous, and she could see him at home! Eva, on the other hand, was a good reason to go to those shows—
            "Good call, my friend. I'll have whiskey, thank you very much."
            "No problem at all, you two. Just don't forget to tip your handsome, competent waiter," Alex joked, pouring them their drinks. With a playful look in his eyes, he asked them: "From a scale from one to ten, how badly you're gonna judge me if I have both at once?"

   "yes!  call your sister!  that's a great idea!  she's great,"  she hadn't spoken to jane about telling jon,  yet,  so she just cheered on his decision happily.  and if she,  for now,  had to seem like someone with a silly crush on her friend's sister,  that was okay too!  the pretty fashion designer!  god,  it was hard to pretend not to be smitten either way,  admittedly.  eva really liked her,  obviously.  "i would looove a glass of wine!  you have the right idea."

   "no,  i've never been,"  she admitted quietly,  looking at their joined hands with a smitten expression etched on her face—  she'd been so scared,  lost and confused and hurt,  and all she needed was this.  her,  jane,  and the comforting touch.  she pushed herself slightly to lean up,  using her free hand to cup jane's face,  and leaning in to press a kiss to her cheek.  "i'd love to spend my time with you.  it sounds perfect."

"Yeah?" she smiled in return, playing with Eva's hair affectionately. "Glad to hear that. Of course I am sure— it'll be really nice to have your company," she said, turning to hold her hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. "More than nice, to be honest. Have you ever been there?" she asked; it would be Jane's first time in Japan, but she had fashionista friends who had been there, already. They sent her a list with plenty of places she can't miss the opportunity to visit.

   eva wanted to mutter something about how it was more than anyone expected,  it was better than anything else.  she knew her and jon just needed a little support,  and jane was giving them the stability they needed.  and,  hopefully,  they could give it back to her.  she hummed when she was reminded of the work jane had mentioned,  nodding carefully so she could remain comfortable and not poke the other woman too much.  "oh.  really?"  she thought about the offer,  angling her smile into jane's shoulder for a few moments.  she didn't need too long,  admittedly.  "i'd like that.  if you're sure."

   "*you're* kidding."  eva bit her lip to try and control her silly smile,  taking both of jane's hands to tug her closer.  for....  no reason in particular,  she just wanted them to be closer in general!  besides,  jane was doing all this flattery even though she was the gorgeous one!  "well,  i'm only following your lead.  you make it look so easy."

"You kidding? It's more than okay... it's *perfect*. You look *perfect*—" she approached her, almost needing to push herself away from the table to be able to take her very first step. "—As always, don't you?" she sent her a small smile, holding out a hand for her to take. "You don't *need* any pointers, dear. Best model ever," it was her turn to gather the courage to wink back to her, even if on the inside... her heart was going crazy and she was pretty sure her face was as red as a tomato! Oh, well...

  the reaction made her feel like her face was on  *fire*,  but she had to admit that the compliments made her...  overjoyed!  and very appreciated.  more than any compliments from anyone else ever did.  "yeah?  it's okay?"  the musician looked down at the outfit to double check it and laughed with humility.  "no pointers?"

   she put her arms around him when he tried hiding his face,  shamelessly laughing at him and his predicament.  because there was an easy solution!  but perhaps she should just stick to being the friend to encourage him to do what he truly wanted.  "this is why you should  *tell him*.  imagine how cute you can be if you two could actually go out together!  imagine!"

He smiled brightly to her, shaking his head fondly to his friend. How did she read him so easily like that? Like he was a freaking open book?! He didn't know... but honestly? It felt really good to have friends like her and Alex in his life. "You got me," he threw his hands up in mock surrender and laughed, before hiding his face against her shoulder again when she raised her eyebrows like that. "He's gonna be the end of meee!!! And he literally has no clue!!!"

   it was a sad feeling to not even be yourself in your own home,  but if anything eva was glad to be in the company of someone who understands that struggle.  because they overcame those expectations and could be happy in spite of them. 
            "oooooh,  of course.  just so he can stand all close to you and heal your made-up wounds."  she raised her eyebrows like it was scandalous!

   she nodded as if to approve of his comment,  because his flattery was very encouraging and she had to accept it before he started bantering with her again!  he was right to be scared!  she shook her head at them,  listening along to the explanations and taking the invitation to leave the studio.  "i just worry that he might run out of breath to explain it that quickly.  then who's gonna eat the pizza?  i might not be able to save him any."

"BADASS!" was Alex's comment when she said she had a dragon tattoo. Jon was smiling, too, definitely thinking the same as his friend— but being more discreet about it, a perfect example of the contrast of their personalities. 
            
            "Classes are like... the *kind* of characters you can create within the game. The druid, that Alex mentioned, is a guardian of nature. They can cast certain spells and shapeshift into animals, for instance," he explained with a quiet voice, almost shyly, for talking about one of his hobbies outside of music...
            
            "The barbarian punches things! MWAHAAHA!" the drummer added, kicking invisible enemies in the air, even though he said *punches*.
            
            Jon chuckled at that. "There are many other types, with different roles within the game."
            
            "I can tell you all about the classes in ten minutes!"
            
            "...That's quite an impossible mission..."
            
            "Try me!"
            
            "Well, if there's someone who can do it... it's definitely him," Jon admitted it with a smile, opening the door to invite them and lead them out of the studio.

   "oooh,  i like dragons.  i have a dragon tattoo."  eva had all sorts of tattoos,  so it probably wasn't very interesting to them,  but she always chose them carefully!  every single one of them was gotten through much deliberation!  "what do classes mean?!  c'mon,  now i'm interested.  or is this one of the secrets of the game?  i have no idea."
