Quiet in the Library! (Hana/Daniel)

It wasn't every day that Daniel had an opportunity to take time away from the world of his stream and the business ventures of meeting up with his adoring fans, but this was one of those times. Normally, he would have been hard at work, hatching the next big streaming opportunity, or the next great collaboration, but today was different. Today he just wanted to unwind, today he just wanted to enjoy himself, and leisurely peruse places to kick back and unwind. Sadly, most of the places that he acquainted himself were pretty much filled with his fans, and with fans came autographs and with autographs came work. Work, right now was the last the thing that he wanted to do. So he sauntered away from cafes, from arcades, and from the hot spots at the mall, even though there was some damn good deals at the places he frequented going on. No, today he would go somewhere no one would recognize him.

The library.

Not that it was a bad place to go, but for a tech enthusiast, and a guy who looked anything, but like your normal run of the mill reader people would more than likely never guess he would come here. Definitely not to unwind at least. Yet, here he was, sitting in the library, and leaning himself all the way back in a chair at a table hidden behind rows and rows of books. The smell of old books and the silent footsteps of people browsing were all that could be heard, occasionally a cough would break the monotony of it all, but beyond that nothing was going on. At least nothing too interesting, still this was where Daniel had chosen to be, mainly because with the silence going on he could simply enjoy, with his headphones on of course, the newest songs he downloaded recently. Maybe he could get some more viewers by making a joke of himself by attempting to sing along to one of these songs?

He didn't know if that was the trend right now, but the idea did cross his mind, and as it did he naturally began to tap the table in front of him with his foot while humming, loudly, the tune he was listening to. A couple of people walked by, giving him frustrated glances as his tapping, and humming grew louder, not that he realized that he was doing it. He was just too enthralled by it all. This beat and rhythm were wild. He began to wag his head side to side and before he knew it he was singing the song, off-tune and horribly timed, but he was doing it by jove! The boy was in his element and he was far too lost, to even realize he was making a ruckus. The librarian looked less than thrilled, but Daniel's eyes were closed, and he was far too gone in his own little world. Far too lost in the rhythm and rhyme.

For a moment, the rhythm had taken his mind off of things, and allowed him to unwind. Sure, it had been in a way that wouldn't necessarily be viewed as welcome in a library, okay maybe in most places this wouldn't be viewed as acceptable unwinding, but he just really needed this break away from it all. It wasn't like he minded dealing with people, he had made a profession out of it after all, but sometimes people needed a break. This was just one of those times. He had been singing for a bit when all of a sudden the tunes were ripped away from him and a for a single moment all that he could hear was his off-key singing and the sound of his foot obnoxiously tapping away on the table. A slight blush came to his face, embarrassment becoming the predominant emotion as he became completely frozen. He made a living off of moments like this, embarrassing himself was a major donation grab, but he tended not to do that so much in public.

He looked around at the people looking at him as his ears caught the tone of someone who was not quite happy with his current performance. In fact, he felt like she was scolding him, and more than likely he deserved it. Okay, he totally deserved to be scolded for his obnoxious behavior, and he cleared his throat softly. Mostly out of respect for what appeared to be a young lady telling him to observe and follow the rules of a library.

"My apologies, I will cease...hey! Those are my headphones!"

What had been a calm and even polite tone that he had began with quickly turned into a rather loud exclamation as he saw her with his headphones in her hands. They were expensive, top of the line, and had cost him quite a fortune to get his hands on, be a techy who loved anything fresh off the line, he didn't like the way that she was handling them. Still, he could tell she liked the music and his facial expression switched from concern with a hint of anger to curiosity.

"Do you like the song? Sorry, I've butchered it all to nine hells."

He said holding out his hand for the return of his headphones which continued to blast the song he had been listening to.

He wouldn't have called himself an obnoxious rule breaker, I mean words hurt, but he supposed the thought was probably crossing her mind right now. He wasn't making a good impression, something his manager had also scolded him on multiple occasions for, and something he had done a good job with controlling and containing as of late. No PR fiascos, no word fumbles, and no supporting things without doing the proper amount of research into what he was supporting. He had taken the classes and everything! He even prided himself on his passing of that class, but now he was shaming his teacher. Sorry, Professor, Daniel was failing you, but he could remedy that! There was still time!

"All the rules of libraries in general or just this specific library?"

He said, with a slight smile as he reached out for his headphones. He had been taught that the best way to diffuse situations was with humor and since he had failed quite a bit in his first impression he wondered if charm would save him from another scolding.

"Also...classical? I had a nice playlist for that when I'm trying to catch some Z's, not that I've been doing much sleeping as of late."

He found himself oddly mystified that he had not been identified quite yet, but that was half the charm of why he had chosen the library to hang out in this particular day. Not many people in this crowd would know who he was and this lady clearly didn't know him. Though he doubted that who he was mattered when it came to ruining the atmosphere of this library with some of his more stupider instincts or the feeling of embarrassment he was feeling at being scolded by someone who might be his age.
