Jay wandered the halls of Auradon as he was finishing up his shift on janitorial duty. It was something to keep him busy and out of trouble. In all honesty he loved the job because it allowed him to explore and he found some pretty interesting items. At the moment he was following the sound of an experimenting rock sound. The chords and progressions intrigued him the more he listened. The sounds were getting louder, but he could hear something mix with the fumbling strings; frustrated growls. Last time he heard someone so determined to accomplish something it was Carlos trying to keep up with he and Ben during their work out session.
He finally came upon the practice room with a light shining into a dark hallway. He stood outside just listening to the simple melody, as it came through in spurts. After a little while of just listening he needed to meet the musician. Funny, he thought, It isn't to mock them for once. I genuinely what to encourage them. He realized he had the perfect excuse too.
He knocked lightly on the door before opening it, "Sorry to interrupt, but I've got to do some quick cleaning in here before I close up this hall."
He looked into wide and curious brown eyes that quickly turned from shocked to skeptical. She wasn't fair skinned like Mal or Evie, it was a dark skin tone that intrigued him. He flashed her what he thought was a snake charming smile, but her hitched eyebrow told him that she wasn't impressed.
"Frank already cleaned this room," she told him. "I know because I have the key so that I can lock up when I am done."
Jay looked towards the young lady and saw the key dangling from her fingers. He tried to think on his feet but it was no use. "Alright, you caught me. I wanted to meet the creator of the sounds that have been haunting me while I work."
"Haunting? Am I that bad?"
"No! What I meant was... Oh wow. That did not come out right."
"No it didn't."
"Look... um. I really liked it. I was intrigued by the music."
"Really," she hitched an eyebrow.
"Yeah... I think you're good and I hope to hear more," Jay smiled meekly.
"I wish you could convince my parents of that." She sighed as she began to clean up her equipment. Jay wasn't quite ready to let her go, but he knew the least he could do is get her name.
Her hand on the knob he asked, "Can I at least get your name?"
She smiled back at him, "It's Navana. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Jay." She disappeared, but he knew he'd see her again.
