[This is getting more ridiculous by the second. And yet, she's still going along with it.]

Vocally or with bass? Because the former will be easier to do on the fly you know.

[trustme]

[Oh yes very ridiculous on Yan's part. Doctor is sure Luce would agree if she witnessed just how mean Yan had been in person.]

Vocally. Might has well give him an example with lyrics too.

...I actually feel a little sad for Yan, even if he is a bugger.

[giglio_madonna]

[He'd definitely only grumbled when around her, so it'd be quite a change. Don't make her get the spray bottle, people.]

I'll be sure to do that, then.

Oh? [She rests her chin on the back of her hand.] For not knowing the power of music?

[trustme]

For that and for treating it less like an art and more like a routine. I don't think a person can grow as a musician if they don't put their heart into it and really try to feel the music. His technique is great, no doubt, but music is far more than perfecting a system.

[giglio_madonna]

Well, he's viewing this sort of like some people view clubs in regards to their college application. That might be the first problem.

[trustme]

He mentioned dropping out of Law School to go into music. I would have thought that was a sure sign of passion for the art. Maybe he had a one way ticket to a Virgo deal by then.

[ None of it makes sense! Then again there were several contradicting arguments on Yan's part. ]

[giglio_madonna]

Well, with the money saved up from a successful music career, he could go back to school without worrying about costs for anything... [Sighing, she shrugs.] That's something I can only guess on, I'm afraid. It's not something we got to talking about.

[trustme]

[ Doctor sighs long and loud. ]

You're brilliant Luce. Able to get on with a man like that. I'd rather not see him for at least a week and a half.

[giglio_madonna]

That's because I'm the diplomatic one. When I visibly can't get on with someone, that's when you know something's wrong.

[At least a little sympathetic, she pats his arm.]

I'll deal with him so you don't have to.

[trustme]

Thank you Luce, you're a saint.

And if he asks what I'm doing tell him I'm writing the next big hit. -Because I bloody well am! [ One last hmph! seems to satisfy him and put him in a better mood. ]

[giglio_madonna]

Of course dear. Don't get too competitive now. Once you get a rival, after all, that sort of defeats the purpose of trying to avoid him.
