Outside of the bedroom was one huge room. There were one section to watch TV, another for reading, and so on, and also the spiral staircase that led up to the second floor.
"Main room."
He said as he turned the dimmer up.

"I have a real hard time picturing you watching TV, I mean, what would you even watch?"
Simone asked as she looked at that specific section.
She followed up by walking over to check out his books, after all it is common knowledge that a person's bookshelf says a lot about them.

"Yeah, well I hardly ever do. I think the last time I watched it was... perhaps two months ago. And I was just zapping, can't remember what was on."
Balthazar watched as Simone went over to the bookshelves. It looked small in the big room, but it wasn't like it was a library. It was just three full bookshelves of old classics, and old not so classics.

"That must be why you want to start up a band again. Boredom."
She gave up on the books and moved on to following him.
"So what's next? The bathroom that can fit both my own home and the one of he girl next door?"

"Precisely. Sure"
Balthazar led Simone across the room to a corridor, and opened the door to the bathroom. It was quite simple, black and white, with a classic clawfoot tub.
"This is the small one, I've got a bigger one upstairs."

Leo had been sitting in a remote corner of the large room, he sat in the window from which he came earlier while the others were in a separate room. He didn't really know why he had come, he just felt like visiting Bazz. Perhaps he felt lonely, bored? Nah, who cares. He hadn't pondered on it too much and his attention was soon turned to the human. There wasn't much of the conversation that he had overheard, just the last few phrases as he had just arrived. What he heard weren't all that uplifting though, or was it just his mood that made it sound so...futile? Perhaps the band was just another way of passing time...
"How flattering" he merely uttered and extended his legs from the crouched position in the window, placing his dirty boots on the floor.

"Of course you have..." Simone mumbled to herself as she looked inside, getting the impression that the tub alone was worth more than her entire wardrobe. And she wasn't actually from a poor family or anything.
Looking back at her company, she then proceeded to ask,
"Did you hear anything?"

Balthazar noticed Leo before Simone entered the bathrom and stayed outside, with a view of the room, and Leo.
"Yeah, it was just Leo."
He said to Simone as he looked at Leo, without greating him.

Leo frowned slightly at the lack of grace, especially since it make him sound like the house cat or something. He pondered if he had done something wrong and walked across the room while speaking.
"Thank you, just Bazz." He said with an attempt of a smile. As he came closer he stopped a meter or two away from Bazz, but still close enough for the human to see him thru the doorway.
"And who's your friend? I believe we haven't met" the smile became a bit warmer at the second attempt.

Okay. Don't be a crazy fan girl, don't be a crazy fan girl.
"I'm sorry, I thought you lived alone."
It was still hard not to fall back into who she was when she was confronted with her teenage idols, just like the first time she met Balthazar. At least it was easier to seem normal this time around, especially as she reminded herself that she was a grownup and hardly even listened to the band anymore.
"I'm Simone. And no, we haven't met."
She reached him a hand and responded his smile - although probably with more genuinity.

"I do live alone."
He said to Simone, and nodded towards the dirt from Leo's boots on the floor.
"And you'll have to clean that up, dear Leo."
He gave him a fain smile.
"What are you doing here anyway?"

He tilted his head in amusement as her heartbeat increased. Instead of merely shaking her hand he kissed it with a very slight bow.
"Pleasure to meet you, Simone"
Before straightening up he took a look at his shoes and then at Bazz.
"Well I was about to take them off, but I was distracted. For a moment I actually thought you were going to prove the gay-rumors wrong." He smirked, feeling much better now, then sat down to take his boots off. He didn't answer the second question but pretended to be completely occupied with his laces.

Wow. That if anything was pretty gay. The only person that had done that to her before was a drunk old man of at least fifty that smelled like snuff and beer.
It effectively ruined the illusion at least, and as such she smiled with some relief.
"There you go, there's another reason to marry me so that I can get this apartment. I am without a doubt a girl, breasts and everything."

"Well, I bet you would have loved that."
He smirked at Leo and let the fact that he ignored Balthazar's question slip for now. He looked at Leo as he took of his boots, and then at Simone again.
"I've never said there were no reason to marry you. But yeah, that is a great one. Breast and everything."

Leo laughed a little bit as he listened to them.
"I'm not sure Bazz would make such a good married man: he never argues" He smirked and then went off to leave his boots by the door and find some sort of cloth to clean the floor with.
