"Sigh… It done." Blake couldn't help but let out a small sigh.
He had just finished showing off the latest outfit Evelyn had made for him, and the applause he was hearing on the other side of the platform curtain was enough to make him believe he did a good job.
Now that everything had calmed down a bit, Blake was thinking about everything that had happened, it hadn't really been more than a few hours, but a few events came up in between that made that little period feel longer than normal.
He went to change once more, only this time he dressed in the clothes he was originally wearing, he was aware that Evelyn's voice was still being heard, but he wasn't paying too much attention to it, besides that Blake couldn't hear her clearly.
It didn't take long for him to return to the backstage area, although Evelyn didn't tell him that that had been it, Blake thought that there would be no problem if he returned to the audience seats... Although he would have to rethink that idea since a young woman with purple hair had passed through the curtains leading to the stage, and she was soon approaching Blake.
"Thank you for your help, Blake." It wasn't too difficult to guess that the person who came next to him was Evelyn, she now showed a rather lively expression unlike when she was dealing with her aunt, and Blake could tell that just listening to her words.
"I'm glad I was of help..." Blake was about to say something else, but at that precise moment he remembered something important... Or well... He considered it important. "By the way, have you seen Gaius?"
"Are you looking for it?" Instead of answering directly, Evelyn answered Blake's question with another question.
"Yes, the last time I saw him was before I went on stage and I didn't hear from him anymore." Evelyn just nodded since she knew where Gaius was at this moment. "I was the one who brought him here and I feel something responsible."
Like Gaius, Blake hadn't seen Raven again either, not even in the audience, so he assumed she must be with him, so he wasn't at all worried about Gaius.
"Don't worry, he's in the area where the girls used to change, Raven is helping him with some details, she was about to go with them to put the final touches on his clothes." Evelyn explained that in detail, which was enough for Blake to be convinced.
It seemed like there was nothing more to say between them, so they both said their goodbyes after Evelyn thanked Blake once more.
After that, Blake stood there a little thoughtfully, he didn't know why, but it felt like some mysterious force didn't want him to leave that place, which was strange, and that was even more worrying because now he saw both the figures of Sofia and Karina entering from one side of the platform.
"Aren't you still here, Blake?" Sofia asked that simple question… Although in reality it was not that simple…
"Are you going to wear any other set of clothes? (I liked how the set of gems looked on him)" As always, Karina was busy with her own thoughts as she felt that she was too tired to express them.
"No, actually I was just about to go find a seat to watch the final part of the catwalk, what are you doing here?" Blake responded calmly and asked that question to get a little conversation going.
"We were looking for Raven. (I wonder where she is)" Karina was a bit curious looking around since she didn't get the chance before because she fell asleep until it was her turn to go out for modeling.
"Karina is lying, Raven told us that she would avoid us after she finished modeling, but she never came back." Sofia was expressing her ideas… And basically, she said that Raven didn't come back with them all this time.
Blake perfectly understood that, even though he was surprised by the fact that he had finally gotten used to Sofia's way of speaking. He was about to tell them that she was helping Gaius, but it wouldn't be necessary as they all heard footsteps approaching their position.
"It seems that the atmosphere is still lively." Gaius said that intending to join the conversation, but that itself had caused the attention of the small group to fall on him... And a somewhat worrying silence was suddenly generated. "Is something wrong? Is there something in my teeth?"
Gaius had even pulled out a small mirror from somewhere to check that, but there was sure to be nothing on his teeth, and the reason for the sudden silence was due to something else.
"Hello... I'm sorry, I didn't tell you that I would take care of Gaius." Raven had also arrived next to Gaius, and her first idea was to greet the girls, although she was equally aware of the silence of the moment.
The silence was not without reason, in short, Sofia, Karina and Blake were quite surprised, but even they themselves didn't know how to really express that, and it was all due to the way Gaius was dressed.
He was wearing what was identifiable as a black and white striped pirate shirt that exposed his midsection. Some pants, which could be defined as dazzling due to the sequins that were on top of them and that covered her legs perfectly. Brown shoes supported his feet, and one of his arms was wrapped in what Blake identified as part of the fur he had given Evelyn earlier.
That was already enough to understand the sudden surprise of the moment, although that would not be the end of everything...
