Thread: Safe & Sound [Merc & zPrimal]

Just as he had thought, and also a relief. He could see her eyes light up when their conversation turned to music and her normally curt replies grew lengthier and expressive. At least she still enjoyed what she is doing minus the genre. He arched an eyebrow as she seemed embarrassed but said to reassure her, it was her own tastes. That and he understood having a wide preference for music, sometimes preferring harsher electronic tunes or symphonic melodies. That's good. Imagine if you were only restricted to pop music, listening to only what was popular. That would be a rather pitiful state to be in, having your likes determined by charts. He rubbed the bridge of his nose as he allowed himself to enjoy the music and the water, this way he was also less likely to doze off than up on the lounger in the lazy late afternoon heat. Very well. That helps since it really comes down to your preference to how we act around you. And being formal is impressive and all but over a long time there are bound to be slip-ups. A slight smile formed on his face as he briefly recounted a memory from not too long ago. If it helps you be more comfortable, then we'd do our best to ensure that. Being too professional probably was not the best choice when working with younger clients. He retrieved his sunglasses and donned them as she emerged from the pool to check on her phone. His gaze lingered on her as she flipped through her phone and inquired, Something came up? Mentally he braced himself for something the label could have wanted her to do but instead that turned out to be the need for marketing herself on social media channels. Sure, just let me get dry first. He pressed his hands down on the edge of the pool and lifted himself up when the door rolled open, admitting none other than Talia. She was one of the two who could possibly accompany him on the first day with Kekoa and was his preferred choice thanks to her stricter work ethics. Her attire was on point as always, since that was what she seemed to pride herself in. From her hair to her clothes, everything was accentuated for a particular style in her mind In this case, business formal. Their current attires could not be more contrasting as he stood up to his full height. He grabbed a towel and wiped himself dry before dropping the microfabric cloth onto an unoccupied lounger. A smirk formed on his lips as he looked over her shoulder, So you decided to come down in the end. I guess Claire will be packing up then? The curtains were still shut so he was unable to see if it was true. He opened the door to have a look and sure enough the other lady was retreating through the front door, offering him only a wave as she made her way down, presumably to join the others in their own lodgings. He stepped back to where the Talia was introducing herself to Kekoa. For the next minute or so, he remained silent as the remaining moisture began evaporating off his chest and they began to take some photos as required. He eyed the photos being taken and gave slight comments on them, where he could, seeing as the label wanted to keep a certain image for their star. He was beginning to pull his shirt on as the impromptu photo shoot was done, and he added, You're probably thinking of all those private messages that need to be removed, but know that all we are concerned is of circumstances which you may not have notified us of, we aren't looking to dig into your personal life, more of looking for possibly liabilities and threats. That is what I think Talia meant. Dinner. Sure, Mexican food sounds great. Especially when someone recommends it, how can I resist? He was not too picky with his food. Whatever came on his plate, he took it. I'll need to change, and Talia would probably want to too. He arched an eyebrow pointedly at her before getting to his feet. We can go in about... half an hour to fifteen minutes? We'd have time to eat and chat, and make it back before dark. He checked his watch. Yeah, they still had time before it got dark. He stepped back indoors and went to the room where he and Talia were supposed to share with separate beds. He rinsed himself with a blast of hot water to wash the chlorine off his skin before getting dressed in his shirt and cargo shorts. Once done, he exited the bathroom and made for the living room.
