Johan might have passed unnoticed backstage, dressed unremarkably in that creamy beige suit jacket and talking lightly with someone who clearly belonged. Roberto looked slightly more conspicuous, though, well-dressed and on the sleazier side, he had a certain air of patronage about him. A warm and appreciative eye for the young performers didn't hurt either, but he was busy chatting up another self-appointed chaperone at the end of the passage, who looked to be the mother of someone performing.
"How long have you been dancing, Meg?"
Close quarters required, of course, that his hand rest on her arm.

Johan smiled sympathetically.
"I see. Your mother and father worked here?"

Meg shrugged.
"My mother used to. I never knew my father."

Johan brushed the hair back from his forehead, in a way that made inconspicuous some irregularities of the hairline.
"I didn't mean to bring up anything painful," he said gently. "I'm the same way."

Meg paused and looked up from her seated stretch.
"Oh?"

Johan turned the page of his book.
"It isn't uncommon. Do you like performing?"

"I'm used to it," Meg said, returning to her stretches.

"You're well-suited to it," he said, gentle and casual as anything, and turned another page.
