Oh wow it was a real script, like it was written in Courier.

And there wasn't any micro-managing direction to it at all, either, to really give a sense of what the scene was calling for.

Yes, obviously, Holly was practically effervescing to get to indulge at least the fantasy of getting a role, to do something fun and out-of-pattern, to share space with someone who was completely out of her usual orbit of extremely serious people.

…not that there was anything not serious about the performing arts, just there were far less guns and drugs involved.

…okay far fewer guns, at least.

Holly did her best to be warm, with her eyes scattering about your features just doing all that she could not to dwell.

When she was with Caroline at the party, she felt like she was wearing a suit of armor, one that made her feel less accountable, like she was a character in a show of a different nature altogether.

Here, at auditions, with Elodie Stone dutifully watching and carrying the aura of what Holly could absolutely interpret as endearment to you, plus…

No, it really didn't linger on Holly's thoughts. Because she's feeling a little stupid right now.

"…alright alright, I think I'm ready to go."

Holly stepped back, evaluating herself. Nah yeah, this was danceable, a bit retro like she was either embodying or making fun of the Priscilla-esque aesthetic, as long as the dance scene was more The City, less Rockshore.

And she's been wearing heels since high school, so that wasn't a big deal. "You really?"

Because you'd have to be the one to actively stop her if you were the one who needed a minute, otherwise she's falling in close to merge into a dance. The two characters were supposed to have a non-romantic arrangement as the premise of the story, a boundary that crumbles but in this scene, establishing their cooperation in coordinating a lie to the people around them.

So close, but not too close, for… both in-character and out-of-character reasons, though that wasn't to say Holly wasn't one to commit to the bit.

You can be an actress, a chameleon, without ever stepping on stage. With him, he was simply Leo, until he stepped into a roll.

If he knew what you'd been up to, he'd set up a coffee date or something to talk about audition prep. Maybe ease this, if you wanted to do it again.

You agree, and his smile lights up all over again. The shoulder pat didn't really do what he'd intended, so you get one last reassuring pat before his hand drops away.

"So, take a minute, read it over. If you're game, we can actually try dancing together." Everything about him is warm and excited, genuinely so, to do this with you. "We dance, read the script, and get a bit of a feel of what it's like to work together, yeah?

Slips in and leaves coffee and croissants for you and
(m)pYp to find when you awake.

Takes the long crop with the feather on the end and runs it up and down your body ~ paying close attention
to the special bits. Smiles and moves on.

Stands in front of the cell that holds (m)pYp and watches his breathing and the cut lil sounds he makes
as he sleeps. Rest up dear one. Rest up. I feel a
bit of a whirling coming your way.

Slips back out without even making a sound.

It kind of was. Placing your fate in the hands of others, at the very least.

A cant of his head, a silent 'you okay?' in the gesture. He doesn't know you uwell, but still, his hand reaches to give your shoulder a reassuring pat.

"Awesome! Yeah, this is from Plus One, the one you're auditioning for. The scene is basically the two leads are dancing together, and are using that to scope out hotties for Ben to maybe date. Alice is the ultimate wing woman. They've been friends since college and have been pretty solid in that. The scene gives you a vibe for their friendship, that then leads into the romantic relationship."

He pauses, offering you a grin. "Or you can catch your breath. You're our last audition today. So if you need a minute, please, take one."

With one last glance toward the Man, she padded softly after the Mistress - hoping her chores weren't to clean up slave livers again this night

He pops open an eyes just after he lays back and talk in your direction.

'Stay close. I might get cold in the night. Its gets chilly on the plains.'

~winks~

*I smiled at the hearty laugh, it was like those of the Tuchuk Men, and even laughed Myself as it was a bit infectious.*

Good night GreyWolf, enjoy the sleep by the fire, and perhaps a slave will even come and keep You warm. Until We meet again Ubar of Gretuk Dur Cavern.

Come gemm, I have a few chores I need you to do for Me before you find rest.

*Rising up from the furs, I turned and heading down the lighted lane of the harrigan, knowing the slave would follow *

L/P

gemm wishes You a restful night Master.
Perhaps we'll see You again sometime when You travel the Plains.
