It was a rather pleasant date, all told. They talked a lot about the Mustard Seed and their hopes for James's project there, then branched out to discover other things they had in common.

"Nah... My voice is even worse than my playing."
"Everybody thinks that though. Your voice is so rich and smooth. You're too hard on yourself."
Piper chuckled and shook his head. The evening was crisp and pleasant, though a light fog was settling in. A nice night for a walk.
James gave him a coquettish look. "My place?"
