You know, Lute seriously thought Rose was going to melt him into a puddle. However, the contrary happened and the virtuoso shook her hand nervously, his heart hammering away in his chest, and then watched as the horse galloped off to parts unknown. Rose then instructed him to continue on with the clean up. Trixie helped him with picking up the instruments and he was thankful for her intervention, but the girl sped to and fro so much. Maybe she was scared of Rose? “Uh, leave that to me,” Lute held out his hand to stop Trixie from cramming a tuba in with the drums and she let out a tense giggle before leaving to check up on Lucien.

“Bye, miss Trixie! Thank you!” Lute called out after the girl’s retreating figure. Aria’s voice rang out and he realized that the illusionist came over to help, which dampened his mood. First Lucien, then Trixie, now Aria? He was being a great big bother now, wasn’t he? “I could do this by myself,” The virtuoso grumbled almost childishly but Aria wasn’t having any of that, so the two of them continued piling up the instruments until the large container was full and the floor was back to its spotless state. That done and out of the way, Lute turned around to ask Rose what was next when the lady from earlier, Dalia, appeared.

It seemed like Rose was going to be in trouble for what he did…? “It’s my fault, miss Dalia! I ran in without even bothering to look around and I caused a huge mess- and some instruments are broken- but I’d be more than happy to pay them off! Maybe not all at once, just small downpayments every now and then, but still! Please don’t blame miss Rose- Ack!” Lute was in the middle of giving Dalia yet another bow when Aria finally pulled him away, bowing and apologizing too. “Why are [i]you[/i] apologizing? Did you kick her horse? Is that why he snapped at me?” The virtuoso hissed as the illusionist hefted him away from the scene.

He sulkily followed after the others and seated himself down. It just wasn't right that Aria dragged him away like that with her nails digging down on his arm. "Hey Lucien, you okay? Thanks for the help, by the way," Lute tapped the summoner on the shoulder and whispered. Oh yeah, and another thing. "Hey Syed," Lute leaned over to catch the tall man's attention. "Who was that man that was with you guys earlier? And why does Dylan look pissed?"
