Emil smiled even as his band-mates left the stage and went backstage. Adam was always a little testy when he was hungry and Trey often needed time to himself after a performance, which meant that Emil himself was usually left with the task of picking out their meal. He gently set his guitar down on its stand before alighting from the stage. His usual smile pulled up his lips as he entered the backstage area and thanked the crew for their hard-work. In the small space that separated the stage area from the back hall, Emil paused to take a deep breath. He could feel hunger gnawing at the back of his throat, but that was a constant feeling that never seemed to go away, so he had learned to ignore it a while ago.
Letting out the breath slowly, he pushed the doors open and waved to the crowds of fans that were waiting for him. Red eyes scanned the humans, picking through them until they landed on a lone girl, standing a bit away from the screaming fans and hopping on her tiptoes as if to try and catch a glimpse of him. As Emil moved forward, he could hear the disappointment from some of the others since they realized that he had already made the choice for the "lucky" backstage guest.
Holding out a hand, Emil's smile widened just a bit.
"Hello miss, would you do me the honour of being my guest for tonight?"
His words were smooth and he dipped into a bow, eliciting squeals of jealousy. When he felt the girl place her hand within his grasp, his expression saddened briefly but returned to normal as he straightened up. "Thank you all for joining us for our show today and for your continued support. Until next time." Emil called to the rest of the hallway's occupants before leading the girl away with him, keeping a firm grip of her hand.
As he lead her in the direction of the band's break-room he made idle conversation, listening to her speak and nodding when appropriate. Eventually they stopped in front of the door and Emil raised a hand to knock before opening the door and motioning for the girl to enter the dark room first. Once inside, he stepped away from her and to the opposite wall, his eyes easily seeing her in the dark as she looked around in confusion, calling out his name and asking why it was so dark. Adam and Trey should be showing up soon enough.
