Her eyes followed her and every now and then, while Yu performed, Yu found the other's gaze connected to her own, accidentally and also consciously. It was not that she wanted to hurry through the performance, quite the opposite, she wanted to drag it out, to give even more, which also affected her bandmates and maybe was also the main reason, why the saxophonist rushed in to support them at the next jig like song.
It had been spontaneous, but she was grateful and loved how well he complimented the sound of the jig. Yu felt a bit like a phoenix displaying courtship as she danced, specifically in the instrumental moments and the instances Shiori-chan sang.
About an hour later, they were done and enjoyed the applause, except for Yu. Instead she darted to the woman and immediately wanted to leave the scene with her. However, the other left on her own, faster than she could say anything to her, so she decided to follow her. 

The fox-spirit was very happy that the other hadn't run away, rather they had talked, and Yu grinned a bit, using her hand to cover her mouth shyly. She chuckled in an attempt, to soften her grin, but it was not working. The moment this vibrant glance found her own, she grinned again, while she examined the other's eyes, she saw the hint of red in one of her eyes and her heart sputtered a bit. 'She is so beautiful, and she also has fangs. Is she a dragon? What is this bloodstain in her eye?', she ruminated in her mind, and also tried to figure out how to continue the conversation. The vibe of seeming ancient and powerful, was what had her presuming that the other was a dragon. 

Lei did not possess the downturned dragon eyes, which was not something all dragon’s had, but something that had it’s name based on art or statues. Instead Lei’s outer corners were only slightly elevated, but they were definitely more open and the middle part a bit rounder. Her pupils definitely larger. Yu’s eyes were vixen shaped, perhaps mostly due to her being a fox-spirit, regardless the middle part of her eyes was also wider, which showcased more of her similarly large irises.

"Would you like to join us? We were planning to head to a Karaoke bar.", Yu's neck and ears blossomed to a colour reminiscent of a Sakura in bloom. 

The next question was whispered according to her hesitance. "If you don't want to hang out, with so many strangers.... I also know a great place for .... Ramen?", she lowered her eyes and her lashes fluttered like a scared butterfly. She waited for the other's reply, when her phone buzzed, it reminded her, of her deviation of the plan, which she had previously made…with her bandmates and friends no less.

Still, her bandmates knew of her spontaneity, but she would have to inform them at some point anyway.

The night breeze was cool, but not cold. After this hectic day it felt rather soothing on Yu’s skin. What made her loose her focus was the constantly buzzing phone on her thigh, which didn’t deserve to get her attention. Would they please get the hint?

The three of them were most likely already on their way to the bar anyway, there was no point in disrupting this moment? Especially since, for once in a long time Yu felt like this was, what she was meant to do, without even a shred of queasiness in her mind. There was no anxiety, no questions and no uneasyness. Her breath hitched as the moment stretched and the light in the other’s golden eyes distracted her enough that she really didn’t know, if the time that passed were seconds or minutes. Not that she usually hat an accurate sense of time, anyhow, but it seemed worse now somehow, as if the other was a distortion zone. Stretching the time, making it almost come to a halt.
