He breathed heavily and sat down on a wooden bench in the middle of the blank gallery. Reaching into his bag, he pulled out a sheet of paper, with several black lines and pen. He began writing down a melody and words, delving deep into his own mind to calm himself down. At the same time, he began to come up with lyrics which he would later add to bring up another dimension to the melody. Humming to himself, he allowed himself to be absorbed by the music, assuming no one else would be around in this particular section of the art gallery.

She passed a hallway that was empty on her left hand. There was a cord that held a note talking about renovation. However there was a noise coming from around the empty parts. It was subtle, some sort of humming. She liked the melody and looked left and right before she quickly passed the cord and tiptoed to the sound on her black high heels. Making sure the back of her heels didn't touch the ground. She looked around the corner in the room next door. It was empty, no paintings or anything else that showed art. It was empty apart from the piano guy that she met at the Grimoire Heart meeting. She leaned against the wall of the door frame with her back. Blocking the way out. She crossed her arms and closed her eyes continuing to listen to the melody of the humming. She didn't want to bother him and she know she should have said hello but she liked the sound and didn't want it to go away.

As Axil talked he began to pack up his stuff, "If you really enjoy my music, I could incentivize you with a concert for discussing this thing with me, but I really would like you to agree to engage in conversation... it's a rather serious topic... I'm afraid." The mage then settled into a new seating position on the bench, sliding over to make room for Nastasya and gesturing to show that he was open to her coming closer for the conversation, though he wouldn't be hurt if she preferred to stay where she was.

Nastasya turned her body in the door way to look at the piano man.. she should definitely work on learning names or more like remember them. She took a few steps towards him and gave a small smile but flinshed when he called their guild name out loud. She wondered for a few seconds what Yumi would have said in this case. Something harsh and lecturing no doubt.
She was thinking, hopefully quickly enough to make a good decision when Axil made room for her to sit down on the bench too. "Hear me out first." she said as she took a few more steps closer, but she didn't plan to sit yet. "It is indeed empty here so it would be a good point to discuss. But there might be people that we do not see coming, which would be a bad idea to discuss such important party planning here. You never know if the Birthday girl shows up herself. Besides we are not officially allowed her, so someone might come at some point." she obviously lied about the party planning, but she wasn't entirely sure if they were alone and she didn't want to run risks.
"As for the name of the party," in which she really hoped that Axil got the idea that she meant the Guild's name. But you never know. "Never say it out loud deary. I know a place where we can talk. Some sort of the same idea as the purple mist. Let's find a room for ourselves." She smiled and didn't want to leave him with questions that she might be able to answer. Did that made her too nice?

He let out a sigh, considering the fact that he may have came off a bit too harsh. Nastasya was one of the few members of Grimoire Heart he actually felt comfortable around. Caius and Yumi seemed violent and dangerous, the other two only seemed to want to interact in a professional sense. Therefore, Nastasya seemed to be his best bet at connecting to the guild. This happened to be exactly what he wanted to talk about, his role in the guild. As he hoped his wording in the extended metaphor revealed, he felt rather in the dark within the guild. The recruiter he had joined with failed to tell him much about the guild, and having met some of his other peers, he felt as though the work ahead of him was far above his pay grade and skill level.
He bowed his head apologetically, "I'm sorry, I got a bit worked up. You're probably right. Though I had planned on using my ears to prevent intrusion, I'm inexperienced in this world, and in the world of magic in general. Who knows if the Rune Knights have some sort of surveillance magic up their sleeves? If you don't mind, you said there was a room we could go to?"

Odin. Also an option. Nate. That were the people she knew. She had seen Nihil but she didn't know him. Didn't like him if she would only know him by their first encounter. But the same would go for Odin and she rather liked the boy right now. She tried to give a warm smile to Axil when he called her my friend. He seemed to learn already in matter of seconds: names were dangerous. It was a shame they would have to leave the gallery at this point. Or maybe they had a meeting room here. She could try her influences but her hotel saw her as a lady with influences so she was sure she could get a room there without any interfering. She waited patiently, for she was not in a hurry and had not something planned for today but to relax her muscles after the morning training with Odin and Caius. Her hand was thus wrapped in a bandage.
She gave a short giggle and smiled again. "You might not like to play games blindfolded but you are rather picking up the pieces quicker than I had done. Planning a big party like this one for our beloved Grandmama makes it that you have to learn step by step. I didn't learn it immediately. I had help too even though I hated to socialize. I still rather be alone but parties can be fun. I think this one will." Axil seemed the smooth talker, she was sure that even if he had not the ability to use much magic or anything else that he meant by using the words drinks and food, she was sure he could form a distraction, talk to someone, make openings that weren't there, just by talking. He didn't look like a bad guy, she for example had the benefit of the doubt simply because she had an eyepatch.
She walked back to the doorway where she had stood the first time she entered the room. "Well you might not be up to the job according to you, but you are very clever. Let's go to my Hotel. It's the Moonlit hotel, it's quite fancy. I bet I can get a meeting lounge for the two of us." She waited to see if Axil would follow her and if he did she would show him the way out of the Gallery to her hotel. Where she arranged with the staff to get the lounge.
She just closed the door behind her. "So here we can talk about anything you want." She let her shadow walk around the room. Away from her body to check for any peephole or spy hole for eavesdropping, but there was nothing.
