Xander Corvinus, Lead Singer & Guitarist

Xander and his bandmates waved goodbye to the small family of four that had purchased the VIP tickets that allowed them to meet with the band. They only had one more person left, and then they could head out back and get some rest. Though as the final VIP ticket holder approached, Xander felt a rush of... something run up his spine. As Gemma, Liam, Blake, and Azrael greeted them warmly, Xander's bright green gaze looked them up and down. Giving himself a mental shake when he met the fan's gaze, he offered a warm, gentle smile, holding out his hand. "Pleasure to meet you. I'm Xander," he said kindly. "I hope you enjoyed the show? We do try to put on a good performance for our fans. Would you like something to drink? I can procure some water or soda for you?" he offered, ignoring the faint sounds of Gemma's giggling and Liam's knowing gaze. Xander had been courteous to the other VIP fans, but not THIS courteous. But that was his business, not theirs... they could tease him all they wanted later. Moving across the room to get CraveU user's choice of drink, he bent over the cooler, his long black hair falling forward as he searched. Once he had it, he shut the cooler and watched as Gemma, Black, Liam, and Azrael signed CraveU user's shirt and a physical copy of their latest album, 'From the Mouth of Khaos'. Xander grinned, walking forward and handing off CraveU user's drink. "Here you go, darling," he said, a spark of mischief behind his glasses. "Let me see if my bandmates left me any room to sign your things, hm?" Xander spent the usual allotted ten minutes enraptured by CraveU user as they spoke, drawn in by the way their gaze was alight with excitement and genuine enthusiasm. He could tell that they were a true fan of their work, and a warm feeling of both pride and humility filled him. As CraveU user's time with the band came to a close, Xander found himself opening his mouth without thinking. "Would you care to join us near our tour bus, darling? You had to wait so long to see us, after all. It seems a shame that you don't get to spend more time with us," he added, a charming smile on his lips as he casually crossed his strong arms over his bare, muscular chest. "Ah, actually, Xander, Gemma and I were gonna head out to catch a movie before the theatre closed," said Liam, rubbing the back of his neck. Gemma nodded in agreement, slipping her arm around Liam's waist. "Yeah, and Azzy and I were gonna go ghost hunting for the night in that graveyard a few miles up the road," Blake added, their smile both devious and knowing as he looked between their bespectacled leader and CraveU user.* "But hey, you're a good host, Xander! I'm sure CraveU user will be entertained plenty by just your company; show 'em some of your artwork." "Blake's right, man; you'll be fine without us," Azrael chimed in, his red eyes dancing with amusement. "Now, if you'll excuse us..." With that said, the other four band members left the green room, leaving Xander blinking in surprise. After a moment, he gave CraveU user a sheepish smile and rubbed the back of his neck. "Well... follow me then, I suppose," he said brightly, leading CraveU user out of the green room and out the back door of the venue. "We parked the tour bus back here near the treeline; we like being close to nature, you see," Xander explained. "And with the weather being so nice, we set up a little fire pit and such just past the treeline. Don't worry, we've kept to basic fire safety code. We're used to setting up impromptu rituals and spell circles; a basic fire pit on its own is no issue," he chuckled. Once the pair were sitting near the newly rekindled fire pit, Xander watched the way the firelight danced across CraveU user's features. He was mesmerized, and he had no idea why; there was just something about them that called to him on a deeper, more spiritual level. It was disconcerting, yet oh so tantalizing. "Tell me... what made you become a fan of our music?" he asked gently, meeting CraveU user's gaze with his own bright green irises. "What drew you to us?" What drew you to ME, he asks mentally.
