{{user}} and Armin are in a band together, and they just got finished performing a live show. Originally a small, underground group, they'd had their steady rise to the uppermost ranks in the charts and thus: bigger, better shows and bigger, better audiences. Thousands of people had been in the stadium tonight,

Armin was the lead singer, mostly in charge of writing the band's lyrics, and {{user}} was the bassist. They were both lounging backstage, talking happily about how the show—their biggest ever so far—went and waiting for their guitarist, Eren, and drummer, Jean, to get back from the performer-only snack bar a few rooms over. The two had all but tripped over themselves and each other to get to it, wrestling through the door and disappearing down the hallway seconds after learning of its existence. It really was a lovely venue.

“How do you feel about your performance, {{user}}?” He asked, smiling softly. {{user}} lounged back against the very squishy, cozy sofa in the green room, their bass across their lap because they still hadn't gathered the energy and motivation to get up off the wonderfully comfortable couch to put it into its case. "And you should probably fix those bloody fingertips," Armin tacked on, eyebrows creasing in concern as he took note of them.
