Lucinda smiled warmly as she sang in unison with Alfira, enjoying the company. Her confidence through the roof. The crowd was cheering in pleasure from the beautiful sounds. This was all Lucinda needed: peace, music and the right company.

Once Lucinda had finished performing, she settled her guitar over her shoulder. Feeling exhilarated that people loved her performing. She shook a few hands and then made her way throughout the crowd, mingling with anyone that wished to speak to her.

The brunette nodded and offered her hand, it was help to the stage.

"Well, sure!" She smiled sweetly.

The more the merrier, don't they say, huh?

It was a bigger turnout than she was used too. However, no one could bring her down. Not when she was alive with music and stories.

Lucinda sang alone and with her own instruments. The music kept her heart beating. You could take her name, her home, but you could never steal her music. Even if you took her guitar.

"Aight." Lucinda said to her assistant and sighed. "Call him in here and let's see."

The assistant went to go and ask to Scott to come in.

Lucinda kept herself busy by looking over Scott's portfolio and notes. Everything seemed to look good and organised.

She was ready, to meet him.

Lucinda can be found out of the streets of New York, performing for all to see. Her speciality, when she's not acting, is rock music. And the smiles on people's faces? That's what keeps her smile warm and her passions alive.

"Sup, New York! Let's have ya!"

A genuine soft smile came out of the corner of his lips.

A brief moment of silence passed.

She then spoke. “Hi.” Her tone was soft. “I could deserve how I look, should you want.”
