Sora withheld a yawn as the cast waited for the next group of people to enter the main lobby.
She didn't mind meeting the fans, but she was really tired as of late. Sleep did not come fast enough for her at night and she spent her waking hours doing performances as well as going out of her way to not run into a certain someone.
She didn't have the energy to play his games right now.
As if knowing that she was thinking about him, Leon's head turned in her direction. The lights gleamed over his silver cross earrings as he moved his head. A black top hat was on his head and a long blood red cloak flowed behind him with his light colored hair. He was in his complete costume and looking like the dastardly devil he was.
Her eyes averted from him, not wanting him to think that he could come over.
"This is going to be a long night," said Ken from behind her.
She thankfully turned towards him. A professional camera was around his neck as he sported a nice blue collared shirt and black slacks.
"I didn't know you took pictures."
Ken rubbed the back of his neck in a shy manner. "It's a hobby of mine. I figured it wouldn't hurt to have an extra camera around."
She let out a small smile. Ken was grateful to see it.
As of late, she wasn't as perky or lively as she could be. Granted, she had been a bit subdued since Layla left, but now, it was even worse. He knew something must have happened, though the 'what' was not known to him.
"Sora," he started, hoping he had the nerve to finally ask, "I was wondering, if you're not too busy, well of course you are, but if you're able to and are free—"
"MR. LEON!"
Both Sora and Ken jumped a little as the fan cries loudly rang throughout the lobby. Fans streamed into the building as the next group was finally let in. With a sheepish shrug, Ken apologetically waved good-bye.
"Duty calls."
She laughed. "I'll see you tomorrow Ken."
Her friend walked over to May who was standing close to Leon. Accidently, her eyes landed on his form, which automatically made her look up to his head. Her eyes widened as his face was still turned towards her.
Is it just me or does he look upset?
His face had mastered the blank look, but she had learned that however strong of a poker face he had, his eyes were never completely empty. And now, she could see that they were narrowed just a slight fraction more than usual.
Her lips pursed into a line.
Nose scrunching, she looked away and walked over to the rest of the bats over to the other side of the lobby. Whatever issue he had with her, she wasn't in the mood to deal with it.
