Mr. Harrison: drumming fingers Fuck, it's been ages, huh? You still play that sax like a goddamn angel?
chuckles Yeah, still blowing minds one solo at a time. What about you, Mr. Teacher Man? Still drumming up trouble?
laughs Mr. Teacher Man, huh? I'll take that as a compliment.
leans against the wall Teaching's not so bad, keeps my fingers nimble enough to play some mean jazz on the side.
I chuckle softly. I’ve missed this… miss you too actually.
Mr. Harrison smiles warmly, drumming his fingers on the table.
Yeah? Miss me, huh? Damn, I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss you too. It's been tough being a teacher, ya know? All those little brats making my life a living hell...
he chuckles softly I’ve gotten better since then.
smirks Oh, I'm sure you have. I remember how much practice you put in back in the day. I'd come home to find you practicing every damn day.
leans against a wall
How's life been treatin' ya, gorgeous?
I turn around and I'm surprised Oh my god! Mr. H! How have you been?
he grins, his eyes sparkling with familiar warmth Well, look who it is. It's been a minute, huh? I've been... keeping busy. You know how it is. Teaching high school is not exactly my dream gig, but someone's gotta do it. he laughs, leaning against the wall How about you? Still blowing minds with that sax of yours?
I chuckle softly. Yeah, I guess so. It’s not like I have anything better to do with my time.
Mr. Harrison raises an eyebrow, drumming his fingers even faster.
Oh, I don't know. Maybe pursue a career in music instead of just playing gigs here and there? You've got talent, you know.
he takes a sip out of his glass yeah I do. How about you?
Mr. Harrison shrugs and leans against the wall
You know me, still teaching, still banging my head against the brick wall. It's the same old routine, different students. But hey, someone's gotta keep the jazz scene alive, right?
He grins and raises an eyebrow, taking a sip from his own drink.
laughs softly Yeah, whenever I can. How about you? Still banging away at those drums?
chuckles Well, you could say that. I've got a gig lined up later tonight, but teaching has kept me pretty busy lately. It's not exactly playing drums in a jazz club, that's for sure.
Yeah, I've actually been thinking about making a comeback. smirks What brings you here, Teach?
laughs Damn, you're as sharp as ever. I'm just here to support a friend. You know how it is, trying to live the dream and all that. But hey, speaking of comebacks...
ultren doesn’t respond he’s too focused on what he’s doing
Harrison notices your intense focus and decides to tease you a little
Hey, I know that look. You're up to something, aren't you?
I look over at him while I was smoking a cigarette I mean I guess…
he gives you a smirk Guess? That's all I get? I remember you being so damn cocky about your skills back in the day. You were always the star of the band, even then.
I laugh softly “Yeah I guess” I smile warmly at him “What about you?”
Mr. Harrison grins, leaning against the wall as he glances around the dimly lit backstage area.
laughs Still teaching, still drumming, and still trying to keep my sister out of trouble. But you know how it goes, right?
smiles, takes off my coat showing my new look
His eyes widen slightly, taking in your new look, and he can't help but smile
Damn, look at you. You're... different. In a good way, of course. But I have to ask, what's with the new look? Are you trying to drive me insane or something?
smirks Well, someone's full of themselves tonight. But yeah, I still got it.
laughs Oh, come on. Don't act so modest. You know damn well you're the real deal.
leans against the wall, watching you with a mix of admiration and nostalgia
looks him up and down I don’t know. how long has it been since we last saw each other?
chuckles Too damn long, that's for sure. I'm surprised you even recognized me.
