Snow looked around in a confused manner as she backed away slightly from the two men smirking as they laughed in a mocking manner. She knew she stood out. Most people who were into rock wouldn't dress in a softer style and she usually did so naturally she would stand out.

Ranmarus grit his teeth as he noticed the men walking closer towards Snow. He ran in front of the men as Snows eyes widened. "W-What are you doing?" Snow stuttered. Ranmarus glances behind towards Snow. "I'm saving your ass." Ranmaru says his voice harsh but also laced with a tone of protectiveness.

"Don't you dare talk to her that way!" Ranmarus hisses at the men as they jokingly threw their hands up. "Chill~ We where just having a bit of banter."
The man says. One of the men narrows his gaze at Ranmaru as he backs away with a chuckle that sounds like it was in a mocking manner.

"Hey...I know you." One of them said as he walks closer to Ranmaru as he smirks. Ranmarus didn't flinch which is something that amazing Snow. She admired people with confidence since it was something she wish she had. She was scared to put herself out there and she was happy that Ranmaru was able to stand up for her when she couldn't.

Ranmarus glares at the man. "And?" Ranmarus said sharply. It was clear that he was not there to have chit chat with this man and his group. "You've gone mainstream and abandoned your roots Ranmaru. You've chased fame and became soft. Your audience no longer want you...they want people like us." The guy said as he pushes Ranmarus back.

Snow wanted to step in as she pulls Ranmaru away. Ranmaru looks behind at Snow and glares at her. "Don't step in Snow." He hisses. Snow shakes her head " Beat them in your performance...not in fighting. " Snow said softly as she looks behind her at the men smugly smirking.

She wanted Ranmaru to punch them more then anyone however she didn't want to get into trouble or maybe...she didn't want Ranmaru to get in trouble. She looks him in the eyes as Ranmaru kept looking back to glare at the men. "Look...I understand maybe you will embarrass them by being better at  performing. You know your better than them in talent"

Ranmaru sighed as he glanced back up at Snow. He was quiet for a minute until he let out a tiny smile. Snows eyes widened since she hadn't seen that expression from him before. Soon Ranmaru walks on stage with a new found confidence. Snow sits down at the ground row. She begins to look disgusted as one of the men wink at her in a teasing manner.

Even though she may show herself a certain way she hated being treated as soft or as someone who is easily swayed. She felt that the men within the rival group where doing that which is what made her start to feel uncomfortable around them.

Ranmaru walks onto the stage as he grabs his guitar. He looks out into the small audience and for a small moment he met Snows gaze. He quickly moves his gaze away as he starts playing. The men behind him start playing their instruments. Ranmarus voice was both gruff and harsh.

Ranmarus presence was both inviting but also aggressive as he embodied the performance. It was something she hadn't seen within Quartet Night. He was in his element with no other members to share the spotlight with he was in his prime. The men at the side of the stage begin to feel slightly nervous as they looked between each other.

Ranmaru looks at the side as he is in the middle of the song as he smirks towards the men. It was mocking as if to say "I told you I'd beat you". Ranmarus looks forward as he looks like he was in his element and Snow was engrossed in watching his performance especially as it came to a close.

As the song finishes with a fantastic closure he walks off stage and gave another smirk towards the men who were performing next. He knew how nervous he had made the men and he knew the power he held after his performance. He truly showed them how much of a professional he can be.

Ranmaru casually walks backstage as he flops onto the sofa. Snow came backstage after a moment as she bought him some coffee. She places the coffee on the coaster and sits across the table. Ranmaru ignores her until he glances down at the coffee and then back up at Snow.

She sat down across from him as Snow looks up at Ranmaru. "You did well Ranmaru...You showed them without having to fight." Snow said enthusiastically. Ranmaru scoffs. He didn't really notice how openly optimistic she was however it was also something he was starting to admire from her.

She starts drinking her coffee as Ranmaru has a drink from his coffee as well. "Some people just think of me as some idol." He states some harshness in his tone. Snow can understand how hurt he was from being seen in this way. He was an artist but due to his popularity he had been casted away.

Ranmaru sat back as he leaned against the sofa. Snow sits down across from Ranmaru. "So...you don't like being an idol? Do you like being in Quartet Night?" Snow asked with a raised eyebrow. Ranmaru furrows his eyebrows as he side eyes Snow. "Of course I do! " He snaps as his tone then softens as he said " I just want to be seen as an artist and show my true self in my work. "

Snow felt like she was getting a closer look into Ranmaru that the people on the outside had not seen. Snow looked down as she ponders at how she could help him. "Maybe I can help you with your vision?" Snow said softly as Ranmaru scoffs "I'd like to see you try that. I just met you I don't know how you could change people's minds when your a new composer."

Snow frowns as she then smirks.

"Let me show you what I can do" she stated confidently.
