Celest smiled at the man; he was really handsome at close, for a mortal. Her nose picked up his scent, it was delicious and filled with life. Such a treat, but she was not here for that. No matter how tempting.
She took the seat in front of him that he offered and looked straight into his eyes. She leaned one arm on the table and said, smiling slightly, "Thinking too much causes much stress on a person... It can kill you..." She chuckles but quickly changes back to her composed state.
"And Silence is just my stage name. Just call me Celest. And you are?"

Jhin chuckled and smiled; a rather charming smile.
"Ryuujhin Rouka Hashiroi. People just call me Jhin. Sweet and Simple."
Jhin chuckled softly and smiled at the woman. Her features as a vampire were truely marvelous, and his eyes took in and admired everything about her that he could see. He didnt mind sharing his name with this stranger, after all he felt.. strangely comfortable around her and he also enjoyed her faint scent, it was something different.
Better than French perfume. He thought to himself, still keeping his calm smile. His eyes were bright and glimmering, almost defiant, as if he were staring down death itself.

Her smile widened a little and repeated his name, "Jhin..." It was as if she was tasting his name and it rolled out her tongue naturally. She had never really met a mortal that stirred her interest in many years.
This one is different, there's something about him I can't put my finger on... she thought. All the humans she came across before were just nourishment to her, nothing more. But this man is not like the humans she encountered before.
She then said, "It's a pleasure meeting you, Jhin. If you don't mind me asking, do you come here often?"

Jhin smiled at the sound of his name slipping from her lips. It was silky, no velvety, soft and seductive almost. his deep curious green eyes watched her carefully, noting each of her movements, her actions, reactions, Everything. She seemed like most vampires, but for some reason she was much more.. Captivating to him.
"Pleasure is all mine.. Celest." He took another sip of his luke warm mocha and glanced back up at her.
"I do happen to come here often." He smiled, wondering why she would as such a generic.. pick up line.

She cannot believe she was talking ever so casually to this man, for when she does strike up a conversation with one, that mortal would be dead in a matter of seconds. But this one, something held her back, he intrigued her and it was as if she wanted to know Jhin better.
She looked at his emerald pools and said, "Ah, excellent... And what do you do during the times you're not here?"
For the first time in her immortal life, Celest found herself out of topics to talk about with someone.

Jhin thought for a moment. What did he do during he free time? He never really thought of it, seeing as he lived alone, and no one had ever really spoken to him like this before. After giving a good amount of consideration to her words, he finally spoke, slowly and calmly.
"I.. Love to make music." He stated simply. For it was true, he wrote music. Perhaps not words in general, but melodies and such. In fact, his missed the old days of sitting in his appartment, strumming his guitar.
Maybe I should take up music again.. He thought to himself, staring off towards the rain, clearly thinking over something.

I... love to make music.
Jhin's words echoed in Celest's ears. Now that last answer really made her even curiouser than ever before about him. He loves music as well, it was as if he was a kindred spirit. But no, he was a mortal human and she was a vampire, they were different, very different. A thought raced in her mind and wanted to escape through her lips but she held it back.
"Oh, you do? Have you performed anywhere? I would love to hear you play your music..."
I would love to what? Great, now that just slipped out randomly, Celest. she inwardly groaned.

Jhin looked up at her with a calm smile.
"It has been a while since I've preformed. In fact, there was a time when I used to preform here.." He said quietly, almost muttering his words. Yes, he loved music, he loved to make it, to evoke emotions, to.. paint with words and sound. He always loved to create something of beauty. And the idea struck him in the back of the head. Maybe he could.. Play one more time, just to show her his passion, which he had seemed to have lost so long ago. Perhaps he could re light a dying flame.

Celest listened to his words, her features softening little by little. "Used to? I can sense much potential in you and I think you make excellent music."
She smiled at him, and the smile she flashed was not seductive nor evil nor anywhere near those descriptions. It was a genuine smile of encouragement, and somewhat, of amazement.
"I really think you should try again, Jhin. I'll be listening." It was as if she read his mind.

Jhin glanced at her with his bright, yet deep green eyes. He then rose from his seat and walked over to the counter, asking for the manager.
"Excuse me sir..." He started, speaking quietly to his old friend.
"Jhin!" The manager smiled brightly and embraced him. "What can I do for you?" He asked kindly, smiling at the handsome young man. Jhin simply smiled.
"I would just like to.. Play my latest song." He said quieter than before. The manager grinned at Jhin and motioned to the stage, Jhin nodded and stepped up upon the platform in one swift movement. Perhaps not as graceful as Celest herself, but rather fluid for a mortal none-the-less. He picked up the guitar, and tuned it slightly differently, for his song. He then took a seat, and positioned the mic near his lips, speaking in a smooth, rich voice.
"Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, we have another little treat for you tonight, I would like to play a song for you, composed by yours truly.." Jhin then ran his fingers over the strings, the instrument singing, like fine opera, and when his lips opened, the words just slipped right out, as if it were simply meant to be.
"Dear Angel of mine... Yeah.. Where do I start to express how I feel..?"
The song he is singing :

Celest watched him as he moved towards the stage with such fluid movements. She shifted her seat to see the stage better and looked on. In her mind, she thought that he really belonged on stage.
As he began to sing, his voice filled her ears and she felt as if she just wanted to just stay there, his voice bringing a sense of comfort in her. She then found herself admiring the handsome young man's voice even more, or maybe even Jhin himself.

Jhin fingers moved as if they had a mind of their own. She moved as he sang, as if her were going to get up an dance. But no, he sat where he was, and continued his song. He then shifted his gaze upon her, his eyes bright, and almost seeming to glow with passion.
"Well my love's gone blind.. Now all that I feel is what I hear."
His eyes seemed to lock onto hers as he sang, as if he sang for her, and only for her. Honestly.. who knew? His voice was strong, and passionate, and his messy crimson hair fell over his eyes in almost.. a graceful way.
"Your words rip and tear, and through my heart so weak and pure, Now I find myself, wanting to die.."
Jhins fingers now strummed the guitar more pasionately as he broke his gaze away from Celest, closing his eyes as he sang from his heart.
"I bleed for the second time tonight, Holding the love thats in my mind, If only my love could be with you, If only this pain, this pain died too.."
Jhin felt alive for once, as he sang out his words, as if there was no other world, just him and this guitar.

Celest felt her heart thump madly in her chest as she continued to listen to him sing. She had never felt that way for years, until now. His voice was mesmerizing and rich, almost perfect. And he also looked good, so good she almost felt like she could almost fall from where she was sitting. She somehow liked the way his hair fell down in front of his eyes and the way he made music on the guitar, it was as if it was one with him.
As his gaze fell on her, she felt a jolt run through her body. She felt as if he was looking through her being.
He's so good at this. Wow... What the hell is this?

Jhins fingers finally slowed down, his voice becoming softer, quieter as his song died down, the small crowd of people awed and inspired by his singing. And he almost whispered the last line into a mic, as if those words were meant for her, thought their eyes did not meet, the words slipped from his lips like Magic.
"Sincerely Yours..."
Jhin set down the guitar, resting it against the chair as he hopped off the stage, the people cheering softly for him, still awed by his song. He smiled at the manager, who was quite happy with tonights performances. Then, he slowly made his way back to his table, taking a seat once again before Celest. Silent this time.

The song may have ended but it still echoes in her mind. Never had she heard such a voice so vibrant as Jhin's. She could feel chills run through her cold skin.
Celest watched him proceed back to his seat, though she shifted a bit when he was quiet. She looked at his green eyes with much admiration.
"That was one great performance, Jhin. You should sing more often." she said to him with a gentle smile.
